When u say u have loaded bootmii is that as an IOS? You may only have the option to install as IOS and not Boot2 (prefered if you can). If you have done this and its installed ok just move onto the next bit of the instructions.

Always back up your nand too. this will recover 99% of bricks.

Here you go m8, copied it off another tut for you.

Making a NAND backup with Bootmii is highly recommended, it will recover your Wii from 99.9% of bricks.
Use the same SD card you used to install Bootmii and make sure there is at least 530mb free on it.
Bootmii is very fussy about what SD cards it uses, so avoid generic ones and try and use a Sandisk or similar.


a) Put the SD card into the Wii, if you installed Bootmii as boot2 then it will load, if it is installed as an IOS go to the Homebrew Channel, press 'home' on your wiimote and select 'Launch Bootmii'.

b) Use the power/reset/eject buttons to navigate the Bootmii menu and select the icon with the gears on it. If those buttons don't work then you will have to use a Gamecube controller.

c) Now select the icon with a green arrow pointing from the chip to the SD card and follow the on screen instructions.

D) In about 10 mins you will have a NAND backup, it is normal to have up to 80 bad blocks so don't worry if you get some.

e) Put the SD card into PC and copy the NAND backup somewhere safe, you can now delete it from your card. If you installed Bootmii as boot2 then also copy the Bootmii folder to your PC and either delete or rename it, otherwise it will load every time you switch your Wii on.

This will happen if you have the cutom installer 2.0 on the root of the card named boot.elf. Any program named boot.elf on the root of the card will boot at start up.

Just delete or move it into another folder and it should boot in to the bootmii screen. Have you got a bootmii folder on the card?

most of the newer wii's wont allow to install to boot2, dont worry about it and move on to next step in tut

Ive just done a mod tonight and could only do an ios bootmii.
What you need is a blank card with hackmii 0.6 installer on it .
It will let you do your nand and let you either boot off the card or through hbc.
Heres a guide off youtube below

Wiiload (Folder)
Boot.elf
CREDITS
LICENSE
Readme-BootMii
Readme-HBC

Cut all files from you sd and store on pc for later

unrar files to sd
once you have files on sd
*put it in Wii
*click sd menu
*load hackmii
*install hbc
*install dvdx
*install bootmii as boot2 (if you can)
*install bootmii as iso
*reboot
*goto hbc press home on the Wii remote launch bootmii

*you will have 4 icons

Use the power/reset/eject buttons to navigate the Bootmii menu

select settings

on the next page select back up to sd

The back up takes about 10 mins and its normal to have a few bad blocks

Put the SD card into PC and copy the NAND backup somewhere safe, you can now delete it from your card. If you installed Bootmii as boot2 then also copy the Bootmii folder to your PC .

Now copy the original files back to sd
