Simple solution that worked for me twice:
1 change country from your country to another eg Canada to US, or from Germany to UK
2. goto wiiconnect24 settings and accept agreement
3. goto news channel and you probably still can't download
4. change country back
5. accept wiiconnect24 agreement
6. poweroff wii by holding power button and then power it back on
7. goto everybody vote, it will ask you to set region. set region
8. goto news channel and it works.Â
Worked for me. In my ccase, problem had nothing to do with modchips being there or not, but with removing the battery. (So this is perhaps off topic, but from experience I know how frustrating this issue can be).
Good luck!
NTSC-U w/ Wiikey. Updated to 3.0U. Disc types I had for backups were FujiFilm DVD-R recorded at 4X using imgburn, then TDK DVD-R burned at 8X using Nero.
The ones burned at 4X are giving me problems, but they were giving me problems beforehand because of the speed and app used to burn. But now more often than not.
The ones recorded on Nero at 8X are working fine.
Online is fine for Mario Strikers.
Channels are fine.
Hope that helps!

i use imgburn with verbatim DVD+R disc @ 16X. no problem for me at all.
not only does it destroy the wii, it'll even brick the tv the wii is connected to
Apparently there are some problems like wii games with cross-region compatibility i think.. But they all work perfectly fine if you stick em in a gcos multiboot.. which saves u discspace tooPAL - Chipset Unknown - Wiikey - 2.2U - Umm....
Well most of what happens to everyone else happens to me. GCOS works, Config disc only works with GCOS.
However today, I put my NTSC Sonic Gems collection burn in (with an itching to play Sonic R), and it didn't work. No error message, just black screen. So I tried to load it with GCOS, and it worked just fine.
Now I haven't played this game for months, so I'm honestly only half sure that it worked without GCOS before the update. Also, I always aim to download PAL versions, so it's my only NTSC Gamecube game (NTSC Wii games work fine, or at least Super Paper Mario does). So this is only an educated guess that the fact it's NTSC is anything to do with it, as well as just an educated guess that the update is involved.
So since this is my only NTSC game, I have to ask the obvious question, DO other-region Gamecube games run with the Wiikey without GCOS? Has this feature ceased for anyone post-update? Hell maybe one of you in the PAL region has downloaded this exact game, test it to see if it's not just my problem?
Has anyone tried to upgrade without removing the chip first? If so, did it still do fine or will it brick the wii?
Thanks,
