Toned down a lot of the informal type speaking and weird notioning towards RC24, as well as revising other guides as follows:

- Created a WiiConnect24 guide, consolidated rtc.md into it
- Consolidated rssmii-remove.md into rssmii.md
- Mass change of "Continue to site navigation" to "Return to site index", no "we have many other tutorials that you might like" included
- Other changes that may not be listed

BlueBomb is an exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini's Bluetooth libraries. Although it is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, BlueBomb can run on the original Wii as well. This exploit also enables recovery from certain bricks, such as a banner brick.
BlueBomb is an exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini's Bluetooth libraries. Although it is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, BlueBomb can run on the original Wii as well. This exploit also enables recovery from certain bricks, such as Korean Kii/Error 003.
For the original Wii, we do not recommend using BlueBomb if you intend to install the Homebrew Channel and BootMii, as there are more convenient exploits available.
If you are using the original revision of the Wii, you should probably find [another exploit to use](get-started) as there are much easier ways to get to the HackMii installer. Exceptions however, exist in circumstances like brick recovery.

![Error 003](/images/bricks/error-003.png)
#### Cause
This brick happens when a non-Korean Wii Menu on 4.2 or 4.3 detects that the Korean common key is present.
When releasing the Korean Wiis, Nintendo changed the encryption key for these units specifically as a last ditch attempt at preventing homebrew. While obviously this failed, they also left a check in the System Menu versions 4.2/4.3 to determine whether or not the Korean Key is present on a system software region that is **not** Korean. If this check succeeds, the error triggers and the Wii is effectively bricked.
This is usually an immediate follow-up to a Wii System Update on an unsuspecting region-changed Korean Wii.
#### Solutions
#### Solutions
Since this brick most often occurs after the Wii Menu updates, Priiloader will not be present.
Korean Wiis also released with Wii Menu 3.3, around the time that Nintendo [fixed the Trucha bug in boot1](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/3.3#Changes), so BootMii as Boot2 cannot be installed to or used on any Korean Wii.
While this brick is infamous and hard to fix, **it is still fixable**. This involves one of two solutions.
##### Recovery Mode
See [recovery mode](recovery-mode.md).
##### BlueBomb
If you have a drive chip on hand, [BlueBomb](bluebomb) is accessible. It is not known exactly why one is needed to use it, but without one, BlueBomb cannot progress past stage 0.
While these caveats leave the Wii in a particularly dangerous situation, **it is still fixable**. This involves going into [Recovery Mode](recovery-mode), where an exploit can be triggered in order to gain access to the Homebrew Channel and revert the conditions that caused the brick.
## IOS brick
#### Symptoms
This brick will appear identical to a low-level brick due to a Wii Menu failure via IOS; however there is not a full low-level NAND corruption, or a low-level hardware failure. Due to this, BootMii as boot2 is still bootable.

title: "WiiConnect24"
---
This guide provides different means of regaining WiiConnect24 functionality on your console. Although not at all nessecary, it is a "nice to have" feature that brings functionality back to Forecast/News Channel, Wii No Ma, Nintendo Channel, Check Mii Out Channel, and more. Please bear in mind, the functionality you gain depends entirely on what service(s) you use.
## Service Overview
### Note about service compatability:
Both services listed below are compatible with one another and can be loaded on the same console. With this said, it should be noted that when installing one channel over the other (WiiLink's Forecast Channel over RiiConect24's Forecast Channel for example), the channel you are installing will overwrite the old one.
### WiiLink
A newer WC24/Japanese channel revival service that started in 2020, but is rapidly regained functionality in many different channels. The channels that are revived are listed below:
+ Japan Exclusive
+ Wii no Ma (Wii Room)
+ Demae Channel (Food Channel) (Real world ordering on specific version, US and CA only with Dominos Pizza)
+ Digicam Print Channel (Photo Prints Channel)
+ Kirby TV Channel
+ Global WiiConnect24
+ Forecast Channel ONLY
+ Nintendo Channel
+ Everybody Votes Channel
Their guide can be found [here](https://www.wiilink24.com/guide/1welcome/).
### RiiConnect24
The oldest extant WC24 revival service, currently only with support for the worldwide WC24 channels as well as mail services. These are listed below:
+ Forecast/News Channel
+ Everybody Votes Channel
+ Check Mii Out Channel
+ Nintendo Channel
+ Wii Mail
RiiConnect24 currently does not have a self-hosted guide, however you can find ours [here](riiconnect24).
## Updating RTC Clock
If you choose to install either of these services on your Wii, it is advised to synchronize its enternal clock in order to prevent various issues that may arise otherwise. The steps to do so can be found below:
#### What you need
+ A working Internet connection on your Wii
+ The Homebrew Channel
+ An SD card or USB drive
+ [sntp](https://oscwii.org/library/app/sntp)
#### Instructions
1. Download and extract the sntp zip to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii.
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel on your Wii.
1. Launch sntp.
1. Use the +Control Pad to select the current time.
1. Press the HOME Button to exit.
[Proceed to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection](wiimmfi)<br>
Thie guide takes the process of regaining online functionality to your Wii a step further - by allowing the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection services to function yet again on certain games like Mario Kart Wii. While there are different private servers and services that allow this, the one covered here will be Wiimmfi.
