alright, i totally screwed my wii up by installed like 3 .wads without restarting the wii each time.
and now, i see the health and safety screen, but when i press A, it plays that wii intro song [when u enter the actual interface] and stays black.
i pretty much bricked it, and am contemplating using the savemii [gc controller method], is there any possible way to fix my wii?!?!?!?

i was reading around and im sure itll work, but how can i update my wii with 3.3u even tho it is already at that?
i have a modded wii with wiikey 1.9, 3.3u

is there any way i can get to the savemii menu then updating it using a burned dvd that has a 3.3 or 3.4 update?

thanks for any help whatsoever.

You'll need to have Twilight Hack previously installed, so you can use WAD Manager to delete the WAD that banner bricked you.

Updating your Wii with a disc won't help a banner brick.

Extract, then burn it.

No patching needs to be done to the .iso, all you have to do is burn it.

Put it into the Wii, and you dont even need to press the "A" button, it will autoboot Wad Manager.

From there, delete the .wads that you installed, and everything should be good to go.

EDIT:

You said "3.3" thats no good, unless you personally removed the trucha bug, wad manager will not autoboot, though you can try.

The only way to bypass it would be to install IOS16, since it isnt patched.

You can use Wii Scrubber to extract IOS16 from the *cough*Autobooting Wad Manager*cough* disc....

At least try the disc. Theres no harm in doing so.

autoboot zelda + tp hack seems to be your key to the solution... but don't worry it's not a serious brick, hope you still have tp hack on your wii..

What use is installing IOS16 into a wii that uses system menu with trucha fixed ios? System menu doesn't use IOS16..
Trying the disc will do no harm for sure, but it won't be any useful...

unless you have the tp hack on your system or have access to a modchip you are at this point in time, screwed. if your still under warranty ship it to nintendo. Otherwise wait and pray someone comes up with a way to unbrick without the trucha bug

Did the autobootable wad manager launch for you?

Did you see the Wad Manager screen when you put it in?

If you did, then yes, an autobootable IOS downgrader or anyregion changer can be made.

Any homebrew app can be made really.

modchip?
i have it modded with a wiikey.
works perfect..

man this is lame.
dont trust .wads if they dont come from gbatemp.net!

i guess my only chance for survival is to wait until a retail game comes out with 3.4 update or bootmii comes out
because i doubt i have the TP hack installed

Don't trust anything... always make sure you have what you need to fix your problems before they happen.

Worst case (seems to be where you're at) is burn your games flagged as autoboot. They should then launch from the 'Press A' screen, or from recovery mode. (Use http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_BootMe - I've found other apps don't work)

Cross your fingers that in the future, there'll be another way to run custom discs in 3.3+ - maybe using the new exploit twiizers used on the latest hbc.

You seem to keep ignoring a rather important question. Does the autoboot disk work for you?

RW is more trouble than it's worth... Stick to -R or +R.

No homebrew discs will run on 3.3 - only originals and discs modified without re-signing (autoboot does this)

Well I have 2 maxell dvd-rw's and they worked like a charm both on my previous d2c pro modded drive and new wiikey2, I burned them at least 30-40 times and they are still fresh... though they might not be working with the backup launcher...
