How to unbrick/reinstall the vWii Menu without a NAND Backup - Recover a vWii IOS/Channel 2024

[@Xemns]

Correction: You don't need SEEPROM, but you will want to backup OTP. Sorry about that! Also if you are having issues remove your disc and uninstall Tiramisu!

[@timothyatom668]

I dont Know Why But it WORKED But i Open Wii Mode the Screen is Black

[@Xemns]

@@timothyatom668 That's weird. Make sure that all power cables are connected properly OR try a clean install after making a backup.

[@chadhanna9674]

You might need to regenerate settings.txt

[@Xemns]

That is something that helps as well.

[@SaltySanctuary]

OMG; I've been trying to remember how to do this fix. I was just scrolling on your channel, this is huge!

[@Xemns]

No problem! Glad it was helpful!

[@hoffman6669]

Wish I found this vid before system formatting lol. Had some trouble getting it to update because of Tiramisu even when off it was being wonky. I turned off the console from the screen saying "press any button to go to system settings" in decaffeinate and rebooted, went to system settings and worked great! Awesome vid.

Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.

[@manado3627]

I kinda ran into trouble like that when I went to update and finish everything my wii u told me that I'm on the latest update so now I can't do anything to finish the process any tips?

Go back into the application and select light install again.

You said Tiramisu will block updates. At 5:55 after pressing “switch back to Wii U Menu” do I need to redo all the steps with Decaffeinator, or will it automatically open the update tab next time I start the console?

No. Just follow the guide in order and don't miss a step and you should be good.

It didnt auto open the update tab for me because I cant hold x to get to the payload switcher I have to open health and safety.

I used decaffeinator on both light and aggressive mode, but nothing has changed. I restored settings.txt as well. Is there a way I can restore it with the nand? I have a backup.

I tried to to fix it with my nand backup as well and it didnt work. I really am confused as to what the problem is.

[@Xemns]

Have you tried doing it again? I really don't know how hard you would have had to mess up to completely brick it beyond repair.

[@Manperson_]

@Xemns yeah I have no idea what I did - all I did was mess with the boot settings a few times on tiramisu, and consequently, (due to wii remotes not turning off the console for some reason, and sometimes not connecting at all during this time,) having to unplug the wii u to turn it off. Anyways, I'll try running decaffeinator a few more times and see what happens.

It didn’t work. I have tiramisu, got the decaffeinator, used light mode. Switched installer to Wii U menu, updated, switched back to payloadloader, loaded the Wii menu and nothing worked. It was still a black screen

[@swordman128]

All I remember when it bricked was I installed a European Wii menu and it didn’t work. I then formatted the console. The next day I set it up and went to play new super Mario bros. Wii. The system menu bricked. This happened in august 2022. I’ve done easily over 10 attempts to fix it. Watching this video 4+ times. And by using GaryOderNichts vwii unbrick guide. Nothing has worked

[@Xemns]

If you don't have a NAND backup, then I really don't know what else you could do. Installing a different region menu is a bit silly in my opinion. Also, try doing a complete reinstall using aggressive mode.

do this works in a wii or it is just for wii U. also, my wii have the menu brick so i cannot connect it to internet. this process will work even without the internet connection?

[@Xemns]

This is Wii U only. You need Priiloader to unbrick a regular Wii!

@@Xemns i have priiloader install. do you know a way that i could fix the brick without internet connection?

Which app are you trying to run? Maybe try parallel desktop or winebottler.

Hi, I tried soft and hard options, system was updating as showed in the video (to the OK button), but bouth times after updating I have only black screen whan I try to launch Wii menu. Please help me - my daughter will kill me without Mario Galaxy)))

[@Xemns]

Do you have any NAND backup? Try doing the process again but you might have bricked beyond repair unfortunately.

[@mikeshoni30]

@@Xemns No I dont have NAND backup that is why I m using this method- How to unbrick/reinstall the vWii Menu without a NAND Backup....WIIU games work without any problems... only WII....Maybe I should try rebuild settings.txt?

@@mikeshoni30 Just try doing it again. Are you sure it is actually updating and not saying "The system is already up to date".

Hi! I tried your tutorial but after decaffeinator and turning off Tiramisu autoboot nothing happens. Wii U says system is up to date. I have EUR version maybe thats the problem?

[@Xemns]

Are you sure that you made sure to reactivate updates through the application? If the Wii U system is up to date it should still work. Make sure that Tiramisu is fully turned off like I showed in the guide. Let me know if any of these options work out and thanks for watching!

[@NivekHUN]

@@Xemns Yes, the application want to update, then after reboot only the system settings popping up. I did everything like in the video. Luckily I have my WiiU NAND backup so there is a chance to restore the vWii partition.

[@Xemns]

​@@NivekHUN Try restoring and following the guide again. If that doesn't work do a complete reinstall and see if it works.

[@Sunglasses_Emoji]

I'm on wii u and have the same problem

[@Xemns]

Hmm... I'm not really sure what to say except to make sure you have done every step completely. Wii U's really shouldn't be different since the vWii is the same set of files that are encrypted by your console.

[@marcinmarcinko8057]

im reporting this bricked my wii u you better apologize now

What?

Did your Wii U actually get bricked?

[@clearninaje24]

if you dont have tiramisu installed do you still have to install it and do the steps you do or no?

[@Xemns]

You don't need tiramisu to do this. All you need is access to the homebrew channel.
