Hi

I'm in the case of a banner brick on a black wii without bootmii, nor preloader, just pimp my wii, and I was able to install a drive with a chip.

I can't get it working again!! What can I do?

Thanks

If you hadn't installed any protection and your drive can't be modded, I don't give you much hope!!

Unfortunately for you.

There would be another way, it's with an infectus chip (15 wires to solder)

OK and otherwise do you think there'd be a chance to repair it later with an original game that has a 4.3 firmware in it
meaning having the 4.2 message at the bottom of the screen and right after that putting in the game with the 4.3 update in it!!

first of all... do you have the 4.2 message showing?
do you have a gamecube pad to run the test?

if yes, you can hope to unbrick with an original game that has firmware 4.3 but it might take quite a while ^^

the other, faster solution is to install a solderless chip compatible with a region-locked drive but you'll need another wii anyway to activate the chip's autoboot.

Oops, thanks for your reply and your help!!!!!!! phew I'm relieved after multiple messages on different forums....
to answer you: yes I have the gamecube controller (I bought it just for this!)
and yes I have the 4.2 msg at the bottom of the screen (I tested with a friend)
when is firmware 4.3 coming out, do you have any idea?
I have a 2nd wii, well yes since the other one died on me I bought the black one again!! I flashed it but I couldn't get bootmii into boot2, impossible!! so I had no choice I had to put it in ios. it's not too bad, as long as I can read my games off my hdd. for the other bricked wii I'm waiting to repair it and resell it! but will it need a new flash for 4.3 or will it stay flashed as it is?

impossible to say. what's more, look... the 4.2 has been out for a while and few games include the 4.2.

if you already have the autoboot showing (4.2E bottom right) a chip will be able to do it without you needing to activate the chip's autoboot beforehand.

wait and see ^^
