Or you can *literally* brick your wii by throwing a brick at it
Underrated comment
this is true, it would hard brick your device (it cannot work anymore)
Yeah that works
Ha Ha lol 😂
True true
Wii have BootMii and HackMii, now it's time for BrickMii.

Followed every step and successfully bricked my Wii thank you for tutorial

thanks for the helpful tutorial
I feel bad for your wii

SD you should brick your Wii u
@@mayromoment2989 the gamepad is fucked so i cannot do that
Thanks for showing us exactly what NOT to do! This could actually help quite a few people.
Also friendly reminder, you need an 32 MB at the minimum SD card to back up your nand, mine wasn't compatible either but idfk how i did it, but i got it working! I have the back up nand on my computer and it wasn't boot2 compatible, im not very tech savy ao correct me if any of this sounds right or wrong.
You should have a boot.elf file and a boot.nand file
I think you wanted to write 32 gb, but the nand is only 0.5 g so a 4g sd card should do it
It might be easier using a usb drive
I'm hombrewing my wii soon
Iirc You can't downgrade your Wii to a version lower than what the console was shipped with, or it leads to a brick.
I.e. if your console shipped with 4.0, you cannot downgrade to 3.8
You could also delete your nand on the wii to permanently brick your wii, just a sugestion. But thanks for the tutorial! I bricked 10 wiis with this tutorial!
You can use BlueBomb to unbrick it
me: *throws a wii disk*
Wii: ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU JUST BRICKED ME AND YOU JUST THREW A DISK AT M- the system files is corrupted
The system files are corrupted screen dosent mean your Wii is bricked. Sometimes you may get it while switching through menus.
Considering all of the extremely weird and dangerous shit he’s been doing with the system menu (downgrading your Wii system menu is super dangerous and generally is not recommended), iOS, and channels, yeah it’s pretty likely this is a brick.
This is a brick. Downgrading the system menu is _extremely_ risky so it's not surprising that this happened. Don't mess with your ios/region/version unless you know what you're doing.
How I bricked mine was it was actually a vwii but anyway I was installing a theme. It worked for a hot minute and then when I relaunched it I got a black screen, I fixed it luckily but yeah.
how?
@@gamingmoments7614 Not a expert, but there is a tool called vWii Decaffeinator
I have a vWii.
same, i use vwiinandrestorer
Hey customizing your wii menu is extremely risky
Thank you so much for this. Definitely the most easy tutorial to follow out there
A good way to be saved if you do a brick is basicly before put an channel copy literally all the content in the SD card paste it in your PC desktop and if it bricks you can simply delete the content and put the copy on the SD card! ( or you can delete the channel or theme that bricked your wii but i didn't test doing it. ) and you can still use priiloader to supert the devs.
That's why you don't mess around with hombrew apps like that you need to know what you're doing when messing with stuff like this or your Wii is dead
Thank you. This was very useful. Now my Wii exploded and me and my family got seriously hurt. Thanks!
Will be trying this! Thanks for the tutorial!
(:
I uninstalled my menu by accidentally pressing backup on bootmii, it ran for nearly the first line, i quit by powering off and tried restore, ended up giving me no signal when going into the menu, however, the homebrew channel works. Ill call it bricked and fix it.
EDIT: I used a NAND creating tool to fix it, it is now fixed.
You can restore the nand fully again and it will work
@@justrex5292 i think i already tried that.
Why did you try to restore the nand? Also, bootmii warns you about overwriting the nand before writing it to the SD card.
cheapest at the time.
Most innovative.
Easiest to crack.
BUT GOD DAMN WHY IS IT SOO HARD TO CLEAN.
If only there was an easier way
I bricked my wii by installing a us firmware on it with wiimod lite and after the instalation in saod error at the bottom right corner of the screen and it froze,i restarted it and nothing appeared on the screen, i tried preloader but it didnt work,it was clear i bricked it,it has been a good 4 years since this happened, although i am getting a wii u soon whivh does have a virtual wii so its kind of the same experience,although i was crying for days after the tragic accident with my wii which was totally my fault😭😭😭
Pretty similar to what happened to me except worse because I forgot I had a third party game in the disc slot and it tried to update only to say it failed and turned it on to a black screen, and forgot to install bootmii or priiloader
how does one "forget" to install bootmii and priiloader
@@ubahni By Ignoring the tutorial saying to install bootmii and later not knowing what it was for (and at the time I didn't know what priiloader was)
Followed the tutorial, for some reason my wii is still not bricked.... any help??
Did you try physically hitting your Wii with a brick? That could be the reason, It worked for me when I tried it.
Now I know that I should not mess with the default channels that is included in the Wii
Do you need an external nand programmer now or savemii?
U could use a homebrew forwarder at start and it would work if its the last channel in the wii menu and try going past it
Can't wait to do exactly this on my Switch.
Very usefull... Thanks 👍🏿
I don't brick my wii, It Breaks, Glitches, Trashes, and Many More... I don't want that to happen! There will be monsters in that screen of death! I don't wanna BRICK it!
Ahh yes the best game ever Wii shop channel
I bricked my old Wii by first having no protections. I was young and dumb and didn't understand that I needed BootMii and Priiloader. Then I tried downloadloading version 1.0 of the Wii menu one night after getting the .wad on my SD Card and downloading it from some homebrew file downloader. After that, over 4 years of Wii data was gone. I have since gotten a new Wii.
Ai sponge told me that sometimes bricking your wii fails and your wii will be half bricked
well, the only way to recover it is to reflash the nand with some tool
Bootmii
you should have installed priiloader and from there open bootmii and make a nand backup
im probably not gonna downgrade it, at least not on real hardware (cuz i dont want to have wasted money if i broke it) but is there a way to do so while keeping the apps? i think to do that you use the startup disk
i think tho it deletes some apps. if i use a emulator i can load on apps easily so thats no problem
No, way too risky and useless
@@cursedpotato64did you hack your Wii I hacked mines and I'm never doing stuff like this
There wouldnt really be a point in it anyways
@@chemus9217 I hacked it as a kid I broke discs and parents was not gonna buy it again ):
I bricked mine I think by installing an older Wii menu then booting into my version of Just Dance 2 SE Best Buy edition
i think it tried to reinstall the new menu? unless it was a game from the era, if so, idk
tis waz kind of tricky to accomplish, but now what you made me do to my vwii! 😊 hooray i guess the menu is totally useless now xD. and i can't even get to experience ver 1.0 now lololo
Y DID U BELIEVE THIS GULLIBLE PERSON
yeah i will test this in dolphin emulator
I low level bricked mine by uninstalling cfw and unplugging the a/c cord in the process. It was totally dead afterwards and I finished the job by smashing the Wii with an actual brick. Fuck it.
You could've sell it online or give it to someone that specializes in wii moddding maybe they would be interested in that
Evil debstool: OH MY GOD I FINALLY BRICKED MY Wii
How do you switch between the 1.0 menu and 4.3 menu
Not worth the risk downgrading the system menu
So is it ok to have bootmii iOS on 4.3U? I took off boot2 due to having to go on some screen every time I turned it on.
As long as you have priiloader you’re fine
@@dylangafforioproductions336 that’s what I was looking to do. Thank you very much!
@@Klerqz just don’t system update your wii. It will wipe out priiloader)
@@dylangafforioproductions336 isn't 4.3U the newest version possible?
@@Klerqz yes
what's the instrumental that plays? it goes hard
It's the wii menu music
Thanks for the easy and helpful tutorial, I have lost 10 friends thankyou
Have you tried recovery mode?

@@Real_Maritosu some aren't cringe
How do i "not use" it if there is only a 2 year span to get a boot 2 compatible
Priiloader
@@Tay12345 still not answering the question
why would you want to downgrade it tho
Try set nice without troubleshooting.
Wait you again what..........
to brick a wii, you need to insert a dirty disc.
That won’t work. It will give you an error saying that it cannot read the disc or it will just spit it back out (the disk). You can banner brick if that’s what you are talking about.

If you need help installing channels to 1.0 let me know!
hi Indeed I bought a used wii v4.1E when I turned it on I found that it was bricked
but the problem that there's no sd card in it.
Is there a way to restore the hack to a new sd card?
@@hedhlymarwen8478 i recommend grabbing all files on your pc/phone insert the new sd card put it in if you can't fix that try taking out the hdd and replace it
Brilliant!
Breaked or bricked?
try not to do this at home💀
Guys i have a epic prank idea
Help can you pls help I accidentally did this

To me passed the same but my Wii don't may upload😢

thanks for the tutorial 🤑
l Need help with this when I go onto hombrew I don’t see the option
If you're doing this for real, stop. It will make your console unusable
I need help how do I uninstall it because I installed it and it's just black I need help
i hope this is a joke
This tutorial was really helpful now I have a funny little black screen with white words on my wiis av screen on the TV yas thank you:DDD (THIS IS A JOKE)
Me: im too late- im alr losdint- RIP.
watching this after my wii just bricked
You can just find a brick somewhere and throw it at the Wii
Wii uses .wad files? Damn, thats an file extension I havent seen in a while.
I did this thinking I can get out I have so much PTSD and I miss It so much ☹️☹️
I basically only use my wii as a ps1 now.
Imagine the brick screen had white noise.🌚
if he bricks another wii again, wii will have a problem
So.. How did it get bricked? It looks like hes just normally downloading channels with yawmm..?
He was editing his nand (system hardware)
so many times and kept deleting and installing channels downgraded especially the system menu which was a bad idea and finally he thought it was a good idea to just delete the system menu which caused a brick
Sorry if anything didn't make sense.
I Will NEVER EVER Brick My Wii Console
Thanks, How to unbrick?
why would you downgrade to version 1.0 tho?
cause its just such a cool thing to have tbh. its the very first menu from possibly mid 2006 and it just feels like you shouldnt have it
@@spac3nugz yeah but it also feels like I wouldn't want it. I need sd card support lol
thank god its 1.0u and not 4.3u
I found video make easier brick Wii.
One: make sure you have wired network. 2: wait to connect.
3: it will show text fount is Wiianese
4: then go back Wii menu system
Done you just brick your Wii
i dont understand bricking like surely theres a way to unbrick
Hmmm I should try this..
Don't
Do
it!
Please.
Ignore the don't comment do it
I just installed pirate channel and it bricked my wii XD
it doesn't like pirates
@@c.i.n.b4710 and it's reskin of homebrew channel what makes it worse
Common issue with sketchy or low quality channel banners/WADs. A reboot will likely fix.
aka just dont fucking install bootmii in a 1.0 wii menu
ehhh i have priiloader and bootmii i can do this
edit: read the text nvm
I have boot2 and priiloader installed
Then you are safe
Does BootMii as Boot2 prevent ALL Bricks? (Except of course deleting Boot0, Boot1 or Boot2 with WiiXPlorer)
@@LennyQUMFIF it does. But I have priiloader installed as well.
@@LennyQUMFIF dumb question but how do I use boot2? I have boot2 but I'm wondering how to use it when all fails, is boot2 supposed to be the menu that shows up before the hub?
@@LennyQUMFIFYou can't delete Boot 0 because it is stored in the Mask ROM.
did u commit piracy?
Nintendon't try it
IOS? PhoneIi
Use A Different Wii
im the first and i dont know why 😀
im the one who didnt ask if you're the first
That is stupid

Goes to show that modding your console isn't safe. Modding your console bricks it!
Nah
nintendo isnt gonna give you a kiss bro
Shill
It only bricked bc they were downgrading and editing the NAND
Like that other person said if u just stick to emulators and stuff, you shouldn't face issues
It's fine if you can follow guides. You can have a good time with a softmod/homebrew. But if you go into not recommended territory like this guy, or just push buttons without understanding them, then you risk having a bad time.
