Wii Firmware 4.1e
Hey i have accedantily bricked my wii. At first it was on firmware 4.3e (i live in holland) and then with the wad installer of multi-mod manager i installed the olD 4.1e firmware which bricked my wii. I still have to try the gc-D-pad-method for putting in a new firmware. I have installed Priiloader but dont know or cant acces it. In Priiloader i enabled 3 hacks: disable disc update, disable online update and region free EVERYTHING NOTE: when i press the on/off button on my wii i dont get a black screen, webpage-looking text of whatever. The light just goes on, and thats itQ 1: what can i do besides the gc-d-pad-method to put in a new firmware?Q 2: what will i lose when i upgrade and what will be saved by Priiloader?Q 3: is there a safer way?Q 4: how can i make sure this will never ever happen again (afterwards)greets jeroen, hollandBTW: sorry for bad englishEdited 2 time(s).

If you installed BootMii/boot2 and took a NAND dump, or if you installed BootMii/IOS and took a NAND dump and are prepared to pay a bit, you can recover your Wii.If not, you will never be able to fix this Wii. You have fully bricked the Wii, priiloader is wiped out, GC d-pad method ('SaveMiiFrii' - recovery mode) will not work, nothing will work.As for your question on how to make sure it doesn't happen again, that's simple: Don't use pathetic pieces of software that are poorly pulled together from a bunch of other out dated tools and is generally rubbish.

And don't do things you don't understand. If you had understood what you were doing, you would have installed a working IOS60 before installing the System Menu, and you wouldn't be in this problem. Even better, you wouldn't have downgraded because it is 100% useless. You don't have Priiloader. You had Priiloader. As it installs itself in place of part of the System Menu, when you uninstalled that, you also uninstalled Priiloader.You should NEVER use WADs for themes. If you insist on using themes, use CSMs made with MyMenu/ThemeMii and install with MyMenuify.
That way you will still be able to access Priiloader even if you screw up.But like tueidj said, you'll have to buy a new one. Alternatively if you took a NAND dump at some point, you may be able to find someone somewhere that could use a hardware NAND programmer to fix your Wii for you. But this would also cost money, and you'd probably have to send your Wii to a stranger over the internet. An individual known as DeadlyFoez used to offer this service, not sure if he still does or not.
