bootmii doesn't launch with the GC controller. you need to have these three files in a bootmii folder at the root of your SD:
This content is for members only. Log in or register for free to see it.
you should have this menu (power to change icon, reset to select):

Image unavailable (removed by its host)

I do have these three files in the bootmii folder of my sd card but I don't know how to start my wii on bootmii, especially with a black screen.
sorry for being this bad, I hope to take 1 step back so I can take 3 steps forward.

on your SD, in the bootmii folder, with notepad, open the bootmii.ini file and copy-paste what's in it for me.
If you do have bootmii installed in boot2, the menu should appear before the black screen.

Hello,
I unfortunately Boot-bricked my WII.
It's chipped with a D2C key and I had only put HBC on it.

Does anyone have a way other than changing the motherboard to save my life?

as requested here's what's in bootmii's ini file
# BootMii config file

# Video mode, possible settings:
# NTSC, PAL50, PAL60, PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO=PAL50

# Autoboot, possible settings:
# SYSMENU, HBC
#AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU

# Autoboot delay, in seconds:
# Default is 5
#BOOTDELAY=5

with that, if you had bootmii in boot2, bootmii should launch. is your folder really named bootmii!!??
give me the info that's in the installer.log file which is at the root of your SD.

if you don't have the firmware displayed at the bottom right your graphics card is toast I think you have the same problem as my 1st wii the poor thing

did you try the miifrii save or the game cube controller?? if you have the console firmware at the bottom right we can do something otherwise it's toast I think ask oops to confirm

Post by **Oops** » Wed 13 Jan 2010 19:31

and no you only had the option to install as ios so as mafia_leccese said, if recovery mode gives nothing... it's dead

recovery mode: put a GC pad in port4 of the wii, take the pad apart so you can press all 4 directions at once without letting go and turn on the wii. if you haven't put a game in the wii you should see the version displayed. also try with an original game to see if it launches even if you can't get the version to display.

thanks oops for confirming that's cool at least now I'm sure

Post by **karmin1** » Wed 13 Jan 2010 21:52

thanks anyway for your answers, now I know what I have left to do (change its motherboard).
And especially a big thank you to the members who took the trouble and the time to guide me to better understand the brick I had.

Thanks for this tutorial...
I went from 4.2E to 4.1E then black OUT...

I had 4.2E, Preloader 0.29, HBC installed and Cioscorp...
A lot of problems on 4.2E so I was advised to go back to 4.1E...
The switch was done successfully then on restarting the console... BRICK!
Didn't have time to install the Preloader...

So I'm going to try my luck...

EDIT:

There, doesn't work for me...

The dvd doesn't even spin and black screen...

Thanks anyway...

Is a game cube controller absolutely required???
Because anyway I didn't have Starfall installed before the Brick???
