So when I turn on my wii I press the Y button on the gamecube controller and I get no response
(maybe I'm pressing the directional pad wrong) do you absolutely need a "cioscorp" and if so how can I tell?

Here in detail is my problem before the bricking:

1.Using Pimp my wii via Homebrew Channel
2.Installation and automatic problem fixing
3.Version 4.1E System Menu OK!
4.Installing a version 3.0 theme (Installation OK)
5.Restarting the wii then black screen

When I press the "A" button on my controller it stays lit then when I press the button to turn on my wii I get my TV signal showing a black screen.

it's not the Y button you need to press but right+left+up+down like in the video.

and yes you need a cioscorp or a chip otherwise how do you expect to run a backup dvd!!??

well do you have a cIOScorp or a chip!!?? for the cIOScorp it's too late if you don't have it or if your wii wasn't compatible. You'll still need a chip.

But I didn't think to ask you... don't you have priiloader or preloader? hold reset to access the menu.

Normally I have a cioscorp otherwise I wouldn't be able to run my backups.

As for priiloader or preloader, no I don't think I have it on my wii.

I got the wad file, but in the tutorial on the first page it says:
1 - Turn on the wii, insert the "autobootBootmii" dvd and the "SD" card as well as the gamecube controller.

2 - Turn off the wii, and turn it back on while holding down the "Y" button
on the "GameCube" controller.

There, normally the dvd should boot and "mymenuify" which is on the "SD" card
should appear like in the video.
All that's left is to choose the "csm" folder and pick one of the 4.1E themes.
Careful!!!!! these are 4.1E themes, otherwise for the other themes in 4.0E etc.....
it's up to you to find the one that matches your system menu.
So if I understood correctly, I just need the "bootmii dvd" to insert + the SD card to send over the suggested files but I'd like to go through "mymenuify" and then install a csm 4.1E theme because the problem I ran into for the brick is that I had installed a theme for 3.0 and not for 4.1.

Thanks for your help in advance ;)

I think most people on the forum remember my bricked wii, since I didn't have the error message at the start (black screen) do you think it's possible with this technique or not?
