Was trying to softmod a friends wii.
Here's the story...
3.4E Wii
No modchip
Installed HBC fine
Installed IOS 16 and ciosfix.wad fine
Opened WAD Manager 1.3 and installed SystemMenu-v290.wad to get it back to 3.2 to be able to install preloader (have used this wad before with no problems)
This is where the fun begins. Some problem happens while installing the wad and I get the 'press any button to restart wii' message earlier than I have before.
Press button to restart wii and it freezes. Wait a couple of minutes then hold power button to restart wii.
NOW RECEIVING BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH!!
Power light is on, drive makes spinning noise but then nothing! Did research and I believe this is called a low level brick.
Any ideas where I went wrong?
Ironically I was trying to get it to 3.2 so I could install protection against bricking and I end up bricking it!
Is there any way back from this? SaveMii?? BootMii?? Sending it to Nintendo???
Or should I just resign myself to it now being a big paperweight and buy my friend a new wii?
Thanks
