Well damn, FINALLY a clear method that's proven itself...thanks
I'll test and let you know if it solves my problem...

ok, that didn't solve my problem....quick summary:
I have a chipped Wii (wiikey), HBC installed, no starfall nothing else
the full bricked appeared following an update (3.2->4.0)
I burned the autoboot, but it doesn't launch...
could the burning have failed?(imgburn up to date...)

if anyone has an idea...

thanks, because I just bricked it

Edit:
It still doesn't work.
Wii on 4.1 updater waninkoko (following this update I no longer have BootMii nor starfall. I start on a page asking me to install HBC)
HBC: 1.0.3
cIOS38: Rev 13b
Loader: CiOS Pack V4 (it's while installing it that I bricked it) + Backup launcher 0.3 Gamma + USB Loader GX 1.0 / HDD 640 GB (Partitioned in 3)
Connection: Wifi

I hope I've provided everything needed

How to unbrick a bricked Wii, even without the "twilight hack" save,
only in "3.2E - 3.3E - 3.4E" and to be confirmed for the 4:
ATTENTION: this tutorial concerns people who had already installed "CISCORP V1/V2" and a "CHIP" before their brick.

The cause of the brick:
-Bad flashing of the xxxxxx.wad.
-Bad installation of a "cSM" theme.
-Corrupted system menu file.
-Semi-brick or full brick (doesn't work for all "full brick" cases).
-Preloader.
-Frozen system menu.
-For anyone who mixes up the pal and ntsc file like: "00000042.app" and "00000045.app"
etc..........


The principle when you brick your Wii, the first things to check before any conclusion:

-That you've already installed "cioscorp" or a "chip".
-Homebrew channel already installed.
-First check if it's not your graphics/video card that simply gave out.(black screen on the tv)
-The connections, oh yes that can happen too.
-The cause of the brick if you knew it.(installation, flash etc...)


-Download the iso pack:
Hidden message

-Burn the downloaded iso onto a dvd-r,
-preferably burn at x4 with the "verbatim" brand using "imgburn" or "nero".
-The downloaded iso is an "autoboot wadmanager v1.1", I won't explain it further, you must already know "wadmanager" lol :93: .

-Download the pack for the "SD" card:
Hidden message

Copy to the root of your "SD" card.
The method I'm showing you is to put your wii system back to 3.2E without the net of course by using "the wadmanager autoboot".
-When you're done burning, put the "autoboot wadmanager DVD" in the wii along with your "SD" card.
-If everything goes well the "autoboot wadmanager DVD" launches all by itself, a menu "wadmanager v1.1" will appear along with the files found on the "SD" card, the ".wad".
The "autoboot wadmanager DVD" serves precisely to install the wads without going through "HBC" since it boots automatically at the wii's startup provided that before the brick you had already installed "cioscorp" or the "chip".

For those who were on 3.2E before the brick :
Just install the:
5-SystemMenu-v290.wad
There you've just put your system menu back to 3.2E,
for the rest of the installation go directly to STEP on "HBC"
Personally I redid it from scratch

Otherwise for those who were on 3.3E and 3.4E:
Follow this TUTORIAL:
Install in order one after the other :
1-IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad
2-IOS30-64-v1040.wad
3-RVL-mios-v5.wad.out.wad
4-RVL-bc-v2.wad.out.wad
5-SystemMenu-v290.wad

Anyway I numbered it, you can't go wrong.
There you've just downgraded your Wii without the net to 3.2E



STEP on "HBC":

And there your Wii is on 3.2E
Now you're starting fresh again with this tutorial :
Tutorial to launch backups on the wii from A to Z


-The rest of the installation is up to you depending on your config: "HBC, ciscorp, starfall, preloader, backup launcher etc......"
-I didn't include it since it's already on the "Tgames Forum" site and several tutorials have been made, and made well too ^^.

Personally I finished installing it like this:
6-Cioscorp V1(21 patched wad)
7-Custom Rev 9 --- you need "IOS36-64-v1042.wad"
at the root of your card if you're using it without the net.
8-Starfall (Antibrick -anti update -Region Free)
9-Miospatcher 3(GameCube_Games)
10-The last installation step is to reboot the wii.


Bonus video:
Summary of my brick:
By trying to install a "csm" found online, I simply bricked my Wii, black screen, the controller stopped responding and on top of that I didn't have the "twilight hack" save just "starfall" and "ciscorp" installed and of course "HBC".
The video I made, I bricked the wii live to show you the tutorial and the steps to follow, in the video you'll see a GC controller that's normal I wanted to reboot into starfall and you'll see when I inserted the original zelda game you should notice that I didn't have the twilight hack save and that I just installed "SystemMenu-v290.wad.", because I only bricked the banner and nothing else and I finished the rest of the installation on the "HBC".
Go ahead, enjoy watching everyone.

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


As for me, to this day, my wii has bricked 8 times since December 2008, the bricks I've had aren't all the same, due to my bad custom, preloader brick, corrupted system file basically pretty much everything ^^ plus the worst scare I had was when I no longer had the "Twilight hack" save imagine the panic!!!!!! lol

PS: To download the packs you have to post and follow up on your problem, whether "yes" or "no" it unbricked your wii.

Well it doesn't work!!!

So let me explain my case: I wanted to install a CSM found online but with softmii and afterward I get green and pink lines, my Wii works, the drive works, the controller too, the screen even goes to sleep when I don't touch the controller for a while, so it's just because of this CSM

I had installed Cioscorp 3.1 and preloader 0.29, but when I try to bring up the preloader menu by holding reset at startup nothing happens and this tutorial's method doesn't work either!

So I'd like to know if there's a way to recover my system menu 3.2 and if my Wii is dead thanks :|
