Hi! I tried to unbrick 2 Wiis but the result wasn't the expected. That's what I did:
- Both bricked Wiis can run Bootmii to dump the nand, so I did it.
- Both have boot1b. One have boot2v2 and another have boot2v3.
- I also have 2 nand backups from two other working Wiis, both boot1b. Like the bricked ones, one have boot2v2 and another have boot2v3.
- Extracted hmac and key from the Bootmii generated nands of the bricks, as described on post #54.
- Installed python, PyCrypto, numpy as described at post #103. Also installed OpenSSH, as noted at
http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Betwiin .
- Downloaded and unpacked betwiin.
- Put nand-hmac and nand-key of the bricked wii in the output folder.
- Put nand-hmac and nand-key of the working wii in the input folder.
- Removed the last 1KB from the nand of the working wii (the hmac + key area), so betwiin can accept the nand.
- Put the nand of the working wii in the input folder.
- Executed betwiin.
- 40 minutes later it finished without errors.
- Put the last 1KB from the bricked nand at the end of the generated nand at the output folder.
- Tried to write the generated nand using Bootmii.
- With one of the Wiis (the boot2v2 one), Bootmii said boot1 mismatch, as shown in post #103. Like described, I replaced the first 1MB of the generated nand with the first 1MB of the bricked nand, - and then Bootmii accepted the generated nand.
- Simulation was ok. Writing was ok.
- Reseted Wii.
- In Bootmii again, tried to enter Homebrew Channel (to install it).
- The disclaimer screen shows up, but hangs there.
- After about 1 or 2 minutes, the "Press 1 to continue" message shows up (and the message doesn't blink), but nothing happens if I press any button (using a GC controller). It just stay that way, no matter what I do:
I also tried to replace the first 1MB of the nand for the boot2v2 nand and the same happends.
I also tried to put the nand-hmac and nand-key of the bricked wii in the input folder, but betwiin hangs using all RAM of my PC and can't finish.
Can anyone point what I made wrong, or something else I could try to do?
Thanks for any help!
