I have a softmodded wii running 4.1U with no mod chip, no preloader, no bootmii.
i only have access to the savemii using a torn apart gamecube controller.
i recently installed two wads to my system menu that i am pretty sure caused it to say that the system files are corrupted when i turn on the wii and go past the health warning. is there a way i can fix this without buying a modchip to use a recovery disc?
on the system menu i have the homebrew channel but i cant access it being the only way i know how is through the system menu.
i know about using a game with a valid update using the savemii recovery but i tried new super mario bros and it just stayed black. does it need to be a newer system menu (4.2?)
not sure what cios i got but i think its Rev16 not sure what CMIos i have though.
If it doesn't work, you'll need to do this:
1. Get an autobooting modchip. Drivekey is a good one.
2. Play games & create so many save files & install so many channel you run out of hard drive space so the wii HAS to take you to data management to free up some space.
3. Clear up space & install a hacked save file of Indiana Pwns
4. Play Indiana Jones & run the exploit.
5. Use WAD Manager to uninstall the WAds & fix your wii.
when i install it, will it work out of box with booting games. OR do i need a working wii to get it to work to the point where i can install it in my semi bricked and get it to autoload into games?
i have boot discs, can i get it to just auto boot my copies of last change unbricker and or ultimate unbricker version 4 i believe they are called?
yeah, im seeing that drivekey does not have autoboot enabled at default, which chip does? because i cant access the config menu since i cant get into the wii system menu

The Drivekey needs to be configured to autoboot games. If you're ordering it from a supplier or modchop, ask them to configure it to autoboot before they send it out, or perhaps a friend of yours has a wii you can borrow.
Last Change Unbricker & Universal Unbrick Disc v4 both require Trucha Patch, a custom patch allowing you to use custom discs. I doubt you have this installed, but give these discs a try when you're all set to go.
Yeah, I know that i don't have the Trucha Patch because they wont load inside the recovery SaveMII menu. I saw that the preprogrammed chips were going for around 65 which is ridiculous. Luckily, i have a friend who was willing to help me out with the programming.
I'm going to try to fill up the system menu, and install the Indiana Pwns exploit, I hope it works.
The wad that banner bricked was an injected Super Mario All Stars + World with a customer banner. I'm pretty sure it was the custom banner that bricked. Its annoying how one small WAD did so much damage but I guess it's bad that I didn't hack the IOS70 or 60 with the Trucha patch.
I'll tell you how the mod goes, it'll be done in two weeks since I have to wait to buy the chip, going with Wiikey 2 solderless.
i have the same problem, i think my brick it causes by a update in usbloader GX,
when i bricked my wii i was in 4.0u, but i try to update the wii to 4.1u using a super mario game. unfortunilly doesnt work.
yesterday i bought a chip called Sunkey lite, i dont know if the have autoboot, but if have, i have to borrow a wii to do the config of the chip and try de indiana pwas.
i try many recorvery disks using the chip in the racovery mode (savemiifrii) and i have no response.
