Hacking I banner Bricked my Wii.

[arctic_flame]

I think it would just load up as a Gamecube disc wouldn't it?

No.

edit: nevermind, but i need something so i can find my zelda save game in the nand backup...

 

[WiiCrazy]

sorry for being not that great thinker in this stuff, i never did a research in trucha signed stuff and modchips, cause i was never planning on putting in a modchip, untill now i have a banner brick...

might there be a way to extract savegames from the nand backup i made some weeks ago, then i can know for sure if i had my zelda save game on my wii or the tp hack...

cause i think it would be a waste of my money if i would buy a modchip if it would still not help to save my wii...

damned, i'm panic too much...

Search for the string zeldaTp.dat in the nand dump. If it's there then you have the hack I think. I hope you have, good luck

edit: Well sorry, possibly this could only work for old twilight hack (not the one for 3.3). Maybe others can help

and even if i would have used the old, i used the wininkoko nand backup, so it is devided in lots of folders and files... not only one file like the YAWND

well then take a look at the folder
title/00010000/525a4450/data

what are the files there?

ps: 525a4450 -> RZDP (for pal version)

ps2: you should see a loader.bin there if you have the twilight hack installed. If you open it in notepad you can see it's actually an executable file. Lots of strings in the end, you can search for the magic string USBGecko.

data folder is empty like ll of the data folders on that part of the backup but the content folder there has a title.tmd saying this in hex workshop:

CODE....!.S...}q.*.np..;$.%..c....!..*'.._.....x....$Sf......>...$'DOu:R

 

[WiiCrazy]

data folder is empty like ll of the data folders on that part of the backup but the content folder there has a title.tmd saying this in hex workshop:


it is also only 1kb so i don't think that is the savegame itself... but like you told me about the folder number i'll try and find the savegame itself, or unless you might know where ;-)

edit: i can't seem to find it, i think it is in the sahred1 folder, but those are a lot of app files...

Well tmd is irrelevant in this case. Does anyone confirm If waninkoko's app extract the save data?

I used the yawnd dump and extract the files using my aes key with segher's zestig tool.

ps: just a guess, since fs browser also can't copy those files without the aes key then probabably waninkoko's app doesn't too...

My friend banner bricked his wii today ¬¬ there is anyway to unbrick it? His has a wii with 3.3 firmware and no TP Hack.

 

[lolsjoel]

Dude, did you not give him the heads up on the risks?

Anyways, with 3.3, no TP hack and no modchip, no there is no way to fix it. Not that I know of, at least.

3.2U - NTSC modded with d2ckey, just banner bricked through the packed 0.app/banner.bin file using u8tool. Wii shows the health and warning screen then displays the error "...System files corrupted...".

Dumped zelda, made it autoboot - fail
Burned wad manager iso by paradox (a couple of times) - fail
Region friied wad manager iso and burned - fail

It's bad since I have an import wii, It's not under warranty

Any other options?

Before the brick I never tried running something with autoboot, maybe it actually never worked, I don't know... Another thing it was possibly missing some wires (about the one with the region free stuff). Could the problem be similar? What are the chances that I replace the modchip or drive that autoboot works?

ps1: I got my nand dump yesterday, also my keys... but I doubt anyone here can solder an infectus chip and reprogram the nand

ps2: Funny thing, the only thing that autoboots is freeloader

 

[WiiCrazy]

Has anyone any idea why the autoboot doesn't work for me?
And the freeloader, why it works?
Any way to modify the freeloader so that it launches something else?

 

[FGOD]

damn, that is very bad wiicrazy...

i was thinking of the same thing... but i don't think it is possible... at least not for me cause it would be trucha signed...

is there any way to autoboot a game with a modchip if you have 3.3? does the d2pro9 has a autoboot function? or do i need it to do it by the wii disc channel?

i am thinking of sending my wii to nintendo and hoping it won't cost me anything and it will be fixed...

Seems noone here actually have enough information about the subject, people just speculate including me. And it's right actually just send it off to nintendo and say electricity cut off when you were copying back a thing from the sd card. maybe they won't ask you anything at all. That should be the right path for you to take. If they tell you it's out of warranty I doubt they will since they need to diagnose the thing.

I will be pursuing the freeloader case... since it boots maybe there can be a way that a code injected into the iso solves my problem. and the second option assuming my d2ckey failing autoboot and swapping the drive with another modded drive. (that will be hard... I need to find such a wii in a repair house and persuade them to try)

 

[FGOD]

there are modding online shops that sell wii drives of any kind so you can buy a new drive and put new modchip on it...

i was thinking of something like that indeed, cause else i don't know what i should do... it seems it will be a lost of money to buy a modchip if i can't autoboot...

 

[stev418]

well there is still hope, have just seen the vid from marcan that shows the wii booting straight to resue menu with the use of a device in the gamecube memory slot, its thats WITHOUT needing starfall installed

[Cerozero]

I got the "Wii system menu files are corrupted" message a while ago but my Wii still works. Whats up with that and am I in trouble?

 

[bloodliketheatla]

WiiCrazy: sounds like a weird problem and i doubt too many people have a guess why.

my only idea is that you take the freeloader image (since it works for whatever reason) and open it up with trucha and patch the main.dol with a different .dol such as Wad Manager. then set it to autoboot.

not sure exactly how these autoboot wad manager disks are made. i've never used one. the only way i've ever made a disc that would run homebrew .dol directly was to do what i just said. (i installed homebrew channel a long time ago by creating a disc in the same way that booted up SD elf load to avoid using the TP hack.)

give that a try and if it doesn't work you might just have to buy a new modchip you are sure that autoboots.
