What's up guys!
I recently bought a softmodded and semi-bricked Wii.
I searched here, on reddit and in guides for solutions for Semi-brick, but each case I read looked a little different - both to each other and mine - so, being inexperienced, I couldn't pinpoint which one offered the most suitable solution to my problem.
As far as I could understand, the problem revolves around a wrong System Menu update. My console is originally from the USA region - LU654357345 - but the currently installed System Menu is v4.3J on IOS 80 (Preset is set to Japan as well).
I suppose then that I have to reinstall a US System Menu, correct?
My HBC is 1.1.2 / IOS 58 v24.32 and BootMii is v1.5, installed as IOS only.
Can I simply use Modmii's Region Change function to make this change or do I need to do something else before or after?

Associated Newbie Questions
01. I don't have Priiloader installed. Should I install it before trying to resolve the region issue? (I mean, doesn't Semi-brick get in the way of this process?) I had read that to have a working backup Priiloader must be installed on a different IOS than the one I would be recovering (on the Complete Softmod Guide - Bricks Section). What? - Can I use Modmii to install Priiloader correctly too? Or in this case is it recommended to go the "manual" path?
02. The combination of Ignorance, Semi-brick and not having Priiloader installed left me walking on eggshells. For that same reason I didn't post Syscheck here. Is it safe for me to attempt a Sycheck through Modmii to post here? Should I do this before or after installing Priiloader and preparing a Backup?
That is all. In short, I would like to know how to solve Semi-brick, but I have questions associated with precautions to be taken first.
Sorry for the long post.
