Black screen in 4.1e because of a .wad

Black screen problem on 4.1E because of a corrupted wad!

Hello, I'm going to explain my problem to you in detail.

First of all you should know that my wii is on 4.1E

When starting up my wii I press the A button which then shows me the menu with the homebrew channel, weather channel, settings... Except that instead a black screen appears.!

THE CAUSES OF THIS PROBLEM!

I downloaded a .wad of the Mario game ... it was surely corrupted (but I had no idea) I put it on my SD card then I inserted it into my wii . I went into the Homebrew Channel then into the Wad manager to install the Mario .wad there to create a channel that would directly launch the game.

I had done this for several games like 007 James bond or Mario Party and it had worked well but there after its installation you can probably guess what happened next. I restarted my wii and a black screen appeared.

How do I fix it?!

I'm going to try to "debrick my wii" with Savemiifree . In your opinion will this work by inserting the Mario Party 9 Game will the update be able to happen or not at all?

I don't have any BootMii or priiloader ...

Thanks .

hoping my wii isn't dead for good...

Yesmant.

no bootmii or priiloader!!!! that's not good, you deserve a good flogging

to solve your problem... you need a gamecube pad plugged into port 1. Take it apart so you can press all 4 directions at once when the console starts:

External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies.

several attempts might be needed before you get it ^^'

if you manage it, your wii's version should appear. 4.1E for you. slide a dvd game into the drive. the original or a backup if you have a chip or a darkcorp-type ios patch. if the game launches, you need to get hold of the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl in order to use the Smash Stack exploit (tutorial here) to launch hackmii installer and install bootmii in boot2. then when bootmii starts, launch hbc. (if boot2 bootmii isn't possible, try replacing hackmii installer's boot.elf with wadmanager.bol renamed as boot.dol (placed at the root of the SD of course

). The goal is to uninstall the faulty wad.

As you said I have my wii's version 4.1E showing at the bottom right of the screen. But let's go slowly first does Mario Party 9 as a backup work? (I don't have a chip or a darkcorp-type ios patch)

After inserting my game shouldn't its update happen automatically which after rebooting my wii should work ..; No...

And ... I didn't tell you but it's good to know a joker formatted my SD card for me so I no longer have any data how do I do this I need help.

make your wii's version appear, slide in an original game, and tell me if it launches.

Wadmanager can be found easily. As for the wad, can you find it again?

Then in any case, you'll need the original of super smash bros brawl

Post by **yesmant** » Thu 9 Aug 2012 20:54

I have as original games: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TWILGHT PRINCESS & WII FIT these are games with an update lower than 4.1 so no that doesn't do anything after showing my wii's version with the GameCube controller.

As for the .wad, that's going to be complicated because on the site where I downloaded it they removed it so it's impossible to download the ISO and then convert it to .wad format. sorry. I hope that's not what's going to block the debrick of my wii.

However in the coming days an acquaintance should lend me the games: MARIO PARTY 9 & SUPER SMASH BROS, BRAWL.

on the one hand I'm not a mod and on the other hand we're trying to debrick a wii. We're not trying to play a game illegally.

@yesmant: stop being a naughty boy :P

You must not do any updates!!!! è_é
So do what I'm telling you and try to launch zelda. Ps: you wouldn't happen to still have the zelda exploit save on your wii by any chance!!??

Post by **yesmant** » Thu 9 Aug 2012 22:20

Excuse me Mamule I'll be more careful with what I write next time.

@Oops, yes I'm going to do what you told me after inserting Zelda once my wii's version is shown thanks to the GC controller after a short moment the 4.1 (EUR) version disappears and a black screen comes up nothing more.

I must not be helping you much when it doesn't do what you say (launching the game) ...

Post by **yesmant** » Thu 9 Aug 2012 22:22

Don't do any updates I saw on another tutorial that after inserting a game with an update higher than the wii's bricked version that is 4.1E it restarts automatically to the menu and it works again right?

Post by **Oops** » Thu 9 Aug 2012 22:32

no, doing an update changes the ios, removes the cios but won't remove your wad... Only a format would remove your wad... And your saves at the same time

So no original game launches past 4.1E!!?? o_O this isn't going to be easy

Isn't BannerBomb an option?

Post by **yesmant** » Thu 9 Aug 2012 23:42

I'm ready to try anything to manage to debrick my wii tell me what I'll need I'll get it and what I need to do.

I'd like to be able to play my wii again since last year it hasn't been working..

Post by **yesmant** » Thu 9 Aug 2012 23:43

What does this BannerBomb consist of!?

Post by **Oops** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 00:03

you didn't answer my question

No for bannerbomb (I'd forgotten about that exploit ^^')... To use it, you need access to the wii's options.

That reminds me of something. Turn on your wii normally then instead of pressing A, press and hold - and + to see if anything happens.

Post by **yesmant** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 00:26

Yes sorry ask me your question again...

And so I do like you told me press + and - at the same time instead of A the security warning disappears and a black screen appears instead.

And I have a question isn't there a way to completely format my wii and then start over from A to Z with different tutorials? no?

Post by **Oops** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 00:43

and no bigN didn't plan for this move, even the + and - that triggers maintenance mode goes through the wii menu which is blocked

(I tested it in the meantime on my wii

). To format, it goes through the wii menu

(then option)

well anyway, the only way to debrick your wii is to launch super smash bros brawl after having made 4.1E appear so come back when you have it to tell us the result.

Post by **yesmant** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 00:50

Ah ok alright thanks, I'll tell you the result once I've inserted super smash bros into my wii.

Hoping a black screen doesn't show up in its turn too.

Normally once I've inserted the game what should happen?!

And thanks again for everything because I was sure that with Mario Party 9 and its update it would have solved all my problems.
But no ..

Thanks Oops because no one else would have been able to help me or wanted to help me look from time to time at my post you never know it might get marked Solved

Post by **Oops** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 00:54

normally the game will launch if all goes well. even if only super smash bros brawl can save your wii, try other games if you have any in the meantime

ps: stop flooding (several messages in a row, rather use "edit") otherwise lamule will scold you again

Post by **yesmant** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 00:58

Ok I'll try that and if I do a backup will it not work!?

P.S. Yes sorry for the flood. ^^

Post by **Oops** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 01:18

why would a backup work if you don't have a chip or a cios/darkcorp?

Post by **yesmant** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 10:16

Yeah, I'm going to try to get Super smash bros brawl this afternoon stay tuned on my post to see what happens.

Post by **yesmant** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 17:36

No, black screen version 4.3 e I think I'm not going to manage it.

Post by **Oops** » Fri 10 Aug 2012 17:42

space kind of story really ^^' I can't explain it

I don't understand why installing a wad prevents the game from launching, the black screen after the A is normal, bigN screwed up and didn't plan for a safety net.

the last solution, but with no guarantee of a result at all, would be installing a chip. don't you know anyone who has a chipped wii? to avoid buying one. you'd just need to swap the drives (they're compatible and the chip is mounted on it).

Hello,

Have you tried, combined with savemii free, launching an autoboot DVD of Wad manager? If the wii reads burned DVDs of course. I'll give it to you if you want.
Wad Manager autoboot DVD => https://rapidshare.com/files/2181573697 ... r1.3FR.rar
- extract the archive and burn the ISO at low speed onto a DVD-R
- insert the DVD into the WII along with the SD card
- connect your GameCube controller into port 4. Make sure you've modified it to press all 4 directions at the same time (SaveMii Free).
- Press the WII's Power button and quickly press the 4 directions simultaneously on the GC controller
WadManager starting up
