    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.

    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

    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.

    • @uselessturtlepie4030
      @uselessturtlepie4030 Год назад +41

      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.
