Hi there.I softmodded my wii for over two years and have been using cfg-usbloader without any problem.Up until now everything was working perfect. Yesterday when I opened cfgusbloader as usual, the countdown contniued and went to 30 saying in cant find my usb hdd which was working just a day ago.First I thought hdd might be damaged or corrupted so I formatted it just put one game in it and tried again.I converted it to wbfs and later ntsc nothing happened fat32,ntfs,wbfs always loader couldnt find it.So I tried other hdd's and usb drives wihch I formated to fat32 and ntfs, they werent detected either. I thought maybe loader is faulty so changed to another card and just put loader in it it still didnt see the hdd's. I tried gx loader and wiiflow too. gx wont open and wiiflow just waited at the loading screen forever. And lastly I tried am usb keyboard on that specific usb port to see if it is working , which to my suprrise worked on mii channel... Now what do you tihnk guys ? Is it realy the port at fault here ? If so what are my options ?

Thanks.

it cant be the port because if you can power up and use a USB keyboard the ports still live and kicking, it means its still giving power and data still streaming

I agree, but ...
Otherwise it's a very very rare problem with the usb controller.

new cioses usually come with new features...is it necessary, no. is it recommended, sure.

and yet it isn't today, and we're trying to help you fix it...and since the cios is pretty much the pathway from the wii to the hard drive, and youve eliminated the hard drive itself as a possibility, it seems like a prudent place to start.

Update: I just found out that I can load apps from the usb hdd in homebrew borwser.That confirms my dd is really OK and my usb port is good ? But, I cant run ay loaders from the usb , cfg just hangs and the opening screen.Others wont load.

Did you see the versions on the first page, do I still need an update *
but we still dont know which cios you are using with the loader - but it wont be the same one your hbc runs under, thats for sure.
