#### Important notes
This guide will provide instructions on how to restore a backup of your NAND with BootMii. Please bear in mind that this is usually the <strong>last resort</strong> method of repairing a brick if you have one, and if it does not fix your issue, you may have to seek support. If you are still able to enter BootMii, make an attempt to enter the Homebrew Channel instead so that you may attempt to [identify and repair the brick](bricks) using other methods.
**Restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort.**
If you are even able to enter BootMii, enter the Homebrew Channel instead, and try your best to [identify what caused the brick](bricks) and reverse it.
If you have not done anything to cause a brick (or you're starting up your Wii after a long time), then it is probably a [Wi-Fi Brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick).
If you have BootMii installed as boot2, you will need to launch BootMii by restarting the console. Skip steps 1 and 2 if this is the case.

There is likely a much safer and faster way to bring individual data back to your Wii, likely involving the use of Dolphin Emulator.
There is likely a much safer and faster way to bring it back to your Wii, likely involving the use of Dolphin Emulator.
For example, if you want to restore your Wii Message Board data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, find `Wii/title/00000001/00000002/data/cdb.vff`, copy it to your SD card as `cdbackup.vff`, and use [cdbackup](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cdbackup) to restore it.
For example, if you want to restore your Wii Message Board data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup. In Dolphin, go to `File -> Open User Folder`, and find `Wii/title/00000001/00000002/data/cdb.vff`, copy it to your SD card, and use [WiiXplorer](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiixplorer) to restore it in the corresponding location.
If you want to restore a game's save data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, use `Tools > Export All Wii Saves` to export all your saves to your SD card, and use Data Management to move it to your Wii.

Bricks can occur for a variety of reasons, however usually it results through corrupted software, or from improper modifications made through homebrew.
Here, we will discuss the different types of bricks, as well as some potential solutions.
# Brick Prevention
## Banner brick
Preventing a brick involves many rules that range between common sense and fail-safe backups. Here are the general recommendations of what not to do:
#### Cause
Banner bricks occur if you install a WAD file that has an invalid Wii Menu banner or icon.
+ **DO NOT FOLLOW OLD WII MODDING TUTORIALS, USE OLD HOMEBREW, OR USE OLD VIDEO GUIDES ON THE INTERNET UNLESS EXPLICITLY RECOMMENDED BY THE DEVELOPER**.
+ **DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, USE THE HOMEBREW APP `Pimp My Wii`. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND DOES THINGS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRICK YOUR WII!**
+ **DO NOT USE NAND BACKUPS FROM OTHER CONSOLES ON BOOTMII**.
+ **DO NOT USE A NINTENDO WI-FI CONNECTION SERVICE UNLESS IT IS RCE PATCHED, SUCH AS `Wiimmfi`. DOING OTHERWISE COULD PLACE YOUR WII AT RISK OF BEING BRICKED!**
+ **ONLY INSTALL UPDATES FOR YOUR OWN REGION AND PLAY GAMES ONLY FROM YOUR OWN REGION**.
+ In most cases, playing a game from another region should simply cause the game to just not boot, unless you have sufficiently modified the console to do otherwise. With that said, extraordinary events have the potential to cause a brick, so the risk is better left untouched.
+ Installing updates from another region could have no effect at best, but result in a [Korean Kii/Error 003](bricks#korean-kiierror-003-brick) brick at worst. To prevent this from happening if you bought a pre-owned Wii, run [SysCheck](syscheck) to verify the original region of your console. If it is Korean, be EXTREMELY careful with making system updates to your console, and consider seeking support for help.
+ **DO NOT DELETE OR MODIFY SYSTEM FILES, AND DO NOT INSTALL SYSTEM FILE MODS UNLESS YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY WHAT YOU ARE DOING**.
+ An example of this going wrong is replacing IOS80 on Wii Mini - this can easily result in a [Wi-Fi Brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick).
+ **DO NOT INSTALL HOMEBREW THAT WAS NOT OBTAINED FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE SUCH AS OSC, IF IT WAS NOT LISTED ON THIS GUIDE, OR IF THE SOURCE CODE IS NOT AVAILABLE**.
+ There have been incidents of malicious software being developed for the Wii in the past, while other apps are just badly developed. Make sure that you know what you are installing, and only install what you need.
+ Corrupted or unstable forwarders for homebrew could cause a [banner brick](#banner-brick), try to stick with loading homebrew from the Homebrew Channel unless you really want a forwarder.
+ **ENSURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WHEN RUNNING HOMEBREW APPS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH THE ABILITY TO MODIFY SYSTEM FILES**.
+ **BE EXCEPTIONALLY CAREFUL WHEN USING APPS SUCH AS:**
+ AnyTitle Deleter
+ AnyRegion Changer
+ KoreanKii (secondary cause of [Korean Kii/Error 003](bricks#korean-kiierror-003-brick) brick)
+ Firmware Downgraders
+ Any other app that modifies critical NAND files
+ **DO NOT TOUCH THE WII'S POWER SOURCE OR POWER BUTTONS WHEN INSTALLING OR MODIFYING CRITICAL SYSTEM CONTENT**.
+ If you are in the middle of an electrical storm, maybe it's better to just do it afterwards.
+ This applies to dangerous processes such as BootMii NAND restoration, which could lead to a [full brick](#low-level-brick) if anything goes wrong.
#### Solutions
If you have [Priiloader](priiloader) installed, enter it by holding RESET while turning your Wii on.
Select Homebrew Channel, then use your WAD manager to uninstall the faulty WAD.
In any case, you should absolutely:
+ Have BootMii installed as boot2 if available, but otherwise as IOS.
+ Have Priiloader installed regardless of the above.
+ Back your NAND up with BootMii and always have a valid spare copy on hand, but especially before attempting anything risky. Note that on some bricks, BootMii is not accessible, so plan ahead.
If you don't have Priiloader, Maintenance mode may be worth a try.
Hold down `+` and `-` on the Health and Safety screen. (do not press `A`!)
# Diagnosis
If you are fortunate enough to get to the Wii Menu, enter the Homebrew Channel and uninstall the faulty WAD.
Here is a small section that lists out steps similar to the Wii boot process, and links to the likely corresponding brick if something fails.
## Theme brick
+ Turn on Wii.
+ Nothing happens, black screen. Wii cannot be turned on with a Wiimote, Recovery Mode cannot be started, and BootMii as boot2 is not accessible. See [low-level brick](bricks#low-level-brick).
+ Nothing happens, black screen, BUT Wii can be turned on with a Wiimote/Recovery Mode can be accessed. See [Wi-Fi brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick).
+ Nothing happens, black screen, BUT BootMii as boot2 is accessible. See [IOS brick](bricks#ios-brick).
+ Error 003. See [Korean Kii/Error 003 brick](bricks#error-003-brick).
+ Wii starts, BUT you INSTANTLY see an error that resembles the Opera web browser. See [Wii Menu/Opera brick](bricks#wii-menuopera-brick).
+ Wii starts, you see the health/warning screen, but upon pressing A to start, the screen goes black and/or freezes and does not continue. Maintenence mode is accessible. See [mail brick](bricks#mail-brick).
+ Wii starts, you see the health/warning screen, but upon pressing A to start, you see a black screen.
+ If this happened after installing a theme, see [theme brick](bricks#theme-brick).
+ If this happened after installing a WAD, see [banner brick](bricks#banner-brick).
+ If this randomly started happening, and you can access Maintenence Mode by holding +/- on the health/warning screen, see [mail brick](bricks#mail-brick).
+ Wii starts, and progresses to the Wii Menu.
+ If after acccessing a specific channel, you get `The system files are corrupted.`, see [banner brick](bricks#banner-brick)
+ If after accessing the Wii settings, you see an error that resembles the Opera web browser, see [semibrick](bricks#semibrick).
+ Wii starts, and progresses to the Wii Menu. No app is malfunctioning, Wii settings is error free, everything is seemingly fine. Unless you have some other kind of error or brick that does not fall under this umbrella (which if you do, you should come to support about), you're good!
#### Cause
A theme brick occurs when a wrongly formatted theme is installed.
# Brick Types
#### Solutions
To resolve this issue, open HBC through Priiloader and access MyMenuifyMod to install a default theme.
Here, the different Wii bricks will be discussed in order of severity, with symptoms, causes, and solutions.
## Semibrick
#### Symptoms
When navigating to Wii Settings, you instead get an error from the Opera web browser along the lines of `You tried to access the address (URL), which is currently unavailable.` In some cases, some parts of the Wii Settings menu may still be accessible, but other parts may not (such as the Country menu).
#### Cause
A semibrick occurs when a different region Wii Menu or a different region custom theme is installed.
This causes the Wii to fail to find the Wii settings page files.
A semibrick occurs when a different region Wii Menu or a different region custom theme is installed. As the Wii Settings menu is rendered using HTML pages with Opera, themes often replace these pages and put them in different directories; essentially leading to a `404 Not Found` error but in the form of a console brick.
![Semibrick](/images/bricks/semibrick.png)
#### Solutions
If this was caused by a theme you installed, use MyMenuifyMod to re-download the original theme file.
Verify in AnyRegion Changer that your console region is the same as the theme or Wii Menu that you have installed.
If this was caused by a theme you installed, use MyMenuifyMod to reinstall the original theme file.
If this was caused by a Wii Menu WAD you installed, use [NUS Downloader](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUSD) to re-obtain your original Wii Menu.
@ -48,7 +84,51 @@ Be cautious when downloading the Wii Menu WAD. Make sure to pick the same versio
If you are actually in the process of a region change, use [ARC-ME](https://github.com/modmii/Any-Region-Changer-ModMii-Edition/releases) to automatically fix all your region settings to match your Wii Menu.
## Wii Menu brick
## Banner brick
#### Symptoms
Attempt to start the Wii - warning/press A screen shows up, and when A is pressed, the screen passes normally; however, beyond this point, nothing happens and the Wii remains on a black screen. This happened after installing a WAD and rebooting, or returning to the Wii Menu. Alternatively, the Wii Menu can still be accessed, but opening the corrupt channel results in the console freezing. In some cases, you may see the "System files are corrupted" screen.
![System files are corrupted](/images/bricks/sysfiles-corrupted.jpg)
#### Cause
Banner bricks occur if you install a WAD file that has an invalid Wii Menu banner or icon.
#### Solutions
If you are somehow able to still access the Wii Menu, go into the Homebrew Channel and use [YAWMME](yawmme) or your current WAD manager to uninstall the corrupt channel.
If you cannot access the Wii Menu, and have [Priiloader](priiloader) installed, enter it by holding RESET while turning your Wii on. Select Homebrew Channel, then uninstall the corrupt channel.
If you don't have or can't access Priiloader, Maintenance mode may be worth a try. Hold down `+` and `-` on the Health and Safety screen (do not press `A`!).
## Theme brick
#### Symptoms
Attempt to start the Wii - warning/press A screen shows up, and when A is pressed, the screen passes normally; however, beyond this point, nothing happens and the Wii remains on a black screen. This happened after installing a theme.
#### Cause
A theme brick occurs when a wrongly formatted theme is installed.
#### Solutions
To resolve this issue, open HBC through Priiloader or BootMii as boot2 and access MyMenuifyMod to install a default theme such as the base Wii Menu theme. Alternatively, go into [YAWMME](yawmme) and install the CORRECT default Wii Menu WAD for your region and version.
## Mail brick
#### Symptoms
Attempt to start the Wii - warning/press A screen shows up, and when A is pressed, the screen passes normally; however, beyond this point, nothing happens and the Wii remains on a black screen. Maintenence mode is still accessible.
#### Cause
A mail brick occurs when a Wii has too much mail to handle, or when malformed mail is in the Wii Message Board, causing a crash upon booting through normal means. Because the Wii Message Board is always drawn below Wii channels, this causes the Wii Menu to fail as it is always open.
#### Solution
By entering holding + and - on the warning screen, Maintenence mode can be entered, where the Wii Message Board is not loaded at all. If the Homebrew Channel is not installed and the system menu is at Wii menu version 2.0 or later, follow [str2hax](str2hax). Otherwise, see [Bluebomb](bluebomb).
From here, the Homebrew Browser can be loaded and mail can be deleted by using WiiXplorer and navigating to `TO BE COMPLETED, INSERT INFORMATION ON HOW TO SOLVE MAIL BRICK`
## Wii Menu/Opera brick
#### Symptoms
When starting the Wii, you instead get an error from the Opera web browser along the lines of `You tried to access the address (URL), which is currently unavailable.` This will happen every time you start the Wii, and cannot be bypassed in any other means.
#### Cause

Alternatively, Recovery Mode can be used by holding all 4 buttons on the D-Pad of a GameCube controller that is plugged into the fourth controller port of the Wii.
## Korean Kii/Error 003 Brick
#### Symptoms
Screen shows up as listed below on normal boot.
`Error:003`<br>
`unauthorized device has been detected.`<br>
![Error 003](/images/bricks/error-003.png)
#### Cause
A mail brick happens when your Wii has a lot of mail. This will make the Wii crash.
This brick happens when a non-Korean Wii Menu on 4.2 or 4.3 detects that the Korean common key is present.
This is usually an immediate follow-up to a Wii System Update on an unsuspecting region-changed Korean Wii.
#### 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.
## 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.
#### Cause
This brick happens when the Wii Menu's IOS is a [stub](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Stub_IOS). This is usually the consequence of attempting to downgrade your Wii menu. If this error began happening after installing a normal IOS80 to a Wii Mini, see [Wi-Fi brick](wi-fi-brick).
#### Solutions
To fix a mail brick, enter Maintenance mode by holding `+` and `-` on the Health and Safety screen. (do not press `A`!) <br>
Enter the Homebrew Channel, and use [cdbackup](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cdbackup) to delete your Wii Message Board data.
You must have BootMii as boot2 to fix this. Recovery mode is not accessible due to a broken IOS, and Priiloader will not work. If these conditions are not met, see [low-level brick](bricks#low-level-brick).
You can either restore a NAND backup, or do this:
1. Use [NUS Downloader](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUSD) to pack a WAD of your original Wii Menu.
1. Use BootMii to enter the Homebrew Channel, and use a WAD manager to install the Wii Menu WAD.
## Wi-Fi brick
#### Symptoms
This brick appears identical to a low-level brick, however you can still power on the Wii with a Wiimote, and you can still boot into Recovery Mode on an original revision Wii.
#### Cause
This brick arises when your Wii's Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) module is damaged or not inserted properly.
In such cases, the Wii gets stuck on a black screen while awaiting a response from IOS.
You can try and differentiate by checking if your Wii Remote still powers on your Wii.
This will also happen on the Wii Mini if you install a normal Wii IOS, because the Wii Mini doesn't have a Wi-Fi module.

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 any Korean Wii.
The only way to fix this brick is a way to launch homebrew by launching a game through the Recovery Menu. It's only accessible if you take apart a GameCube controller to hold all 4 +Control Pad buttons down while the GameCube controller's plugged into the 4th slot on your Wii as it's turned on. Taking apart the controller is necessary since you cannot hold down all the buttons without taking the controller apart.
## IOS brick
#### Cause
This brick happens when the Wii Menu's IOS is a [stub](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Stub_IOS). This is usually the consequence of attempting to downgrade your Wii menu.
#### Solutions
You must have BootMii as boot2 to fix this brick. Priiloader will not load.

1. Use [NUS Downloader](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUSD) to pack a WAD of your original Wii Menu.
1. Use BootMii to enter the Homebrew Channel, and use a WAD manager to install the Wii Menu WAD.
If both fail, see [low-level brick](bricks#low-level-brick).
## Low-level brick
#### Symptoms
Completely black screen, no response to user input. Recovery Mode cannot be booted.
#### Cause
This brick occurs when boot1/boot2 is corrupt.
This brick occurs when boot1/boot2 is corrupt, or if there is a hardware failure.
#### Solutions
You can only recover by using a NAND programmer.
First, troubleshooting must be done to determine if hardware is at fault. In the order listed, do the following:
+ Test to make sure that your Wii actually still functions (it accepts discs as normal, spins up correctly, Wiimotes connect) before attempting the following steps. If this is the case and only video is not being displayed, you may have an exceptionally rare failure of the video port or the GPU.
+ If on a Wii Mini, and if a normal IOS80 was installed, see [Wi-Fi brick](wi-fi-brick). If steps to resolve the Wi-Fi brick failed, proceed.
+ Attempt to boot into [Recovery Mode](recovery-mode) (normal Wiis only). If the Wii boots into Recovery Mode, see [Wi-Fi brick](wi-fi-brick). If steps to resolve the Wi-Fi brick failed, proceed.
+ Reseat the disc drive and attempt to boot normally. If still unsuccessful, replace the disc drive. If still unsuccessful, proceed.
+ At this point, either there is a low level boot0/boot1 corruption, a NAND chip failure, or there is a wider unknown hardware failure. Good luck.

BootMii is a piece of software that can backup and restore your Wii's NAND storage, and if installed in boot2, provides brick protection.
Regarding BootMii, there are two ways that it can be installed: directly to a part of the Wii bootloader called boot2, and via an IOS. Preferably you would want to install BootMii under boot2 as it provides extended brick protection, however Wiis with a vulnerable boot2 are considerably rare and made mostly before 2009. In most cases, installing BootMii as IOS should be fine, as long as you also install Priiloader.
{: .notice--info}
If you do not have an SD card, you cannot install nor use BootMii; regardless of whether or not you install it as IOS or boot2.
You can always [install it at a later date](hackmii).

If you couldn't install BootMii, continue to [installing Priiloader](priiloader).
Making a NAND backup at this point is highly recommended, and is one of the only ways to save your Wii from a brick in some cases.

Tip: You can tell if a Wii has BootMii installed as boot2 if your disc drive flashes very briefly, only after the immediate flash that happens when you press the POWER Button.

title: "Installing Homebrew Channel on Dolphin Emulator"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
On Dolphin Emulator version `5.0-4588` or later, the Wii Menu can be easily installed through Dolphin itself. Once this is done, the Homebrew Channel can be installed, although not in the same manner as a physical Wii.
#### What you need
* A Windows/MacOS/Linux computer with an Internet connection
* [Dolphin Emulator](https://dolphin-emu.org/download/) version `5.0-4588` or later
* The latest version of [Open Homebrew Channel](https://github.com/Wii-Mini-Hacking/hbc/releases)
### Instructions
1. If you have not already done so, install the Wii Menu on Dolphin Emulator by going to `Tools > Perform System Update`.
![Perform System Update](/images/homebrew-dolphin/system-update.png)
1. Download `Open_HBC_(version)_LULZ.wad` from the page linked above.
1. Open Dolphin Emulator.
1. Select `Tools > Install WAD` and select the `Open_HBC_(version)_LULZ.wad` file that was downloaded.
![Install WAD](/images/homebrew-dolphin/ohbc-file.png)
1. Select `Tools > Load Wii System Menu`. The channel should now appear.
![Homebrew Channel Installed!](/images/homebrew-dolphin/hbc-installed.png)
### Post-Installation, installing Homebrew Apps through Open Shop Channel
1. Download the Open Shop Channel [here](https://oscwii.org/library/app/homebrew_browser) for usage in Dolphin. Alternatively, you can get OSCDL and do this process manually.
1. Stop the emulation (if running), and open the `Config > Wii` window in Dolphin Emulator.
1. Enable `Automatically Sync with Folder`. Optionally, you may also want to adjust the `SD Card File Size` to a larger parameter - however in most cases `Auto` should be fine.
1. Open the `SD Sync Folder`. On Windows, this can easily be done by pasting the folder path into the Start Menu, Windows Explorer, or Run.
1. Extract any homebrew apps to the `WiiSDSync` folder. The end result should look something like this:
![Apps Folder](/images/homebrew-dolphin/apps-folder.png)
1. Load the Wii Menu and open the Homebrew Channel. Your newly installed apps should appear!

![LetterBomb](/images/exploits/letterbomb/letterbomb.png)
For instructions on how to format your SD card correctly, please see [this guide](https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/Formatting_an_SD_card). It is highly recommended to check it due to problems with formatting as FAT32.
{: .notice--info}
Do NOT use any of the MAC address examples given in this guide, as they will simply cause an error on the HackMii website. Use your own!
{: .notice--warning}
LetterBomb is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board.
#### What you need
* An SD card formatted to FAT32/MS-DOS
* A Wii on System Menu version 4.3
* An SD card formatted as FAT32
* A Nintendo Wii on System Menu version 4.3
* A Windows/MacOS/Linux computer with an Internet connection
#### Instructions
1. On your Wii, go to `Wii Settings` -> `Internet` -> `Console Information` and make note of your MAC address.
1. Visit [please.hackmii.com](https://please.hackmii.com/), input your Wii MAC and region, ensure `Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!` is checked, and cut either wire.
![HackMii Screen](/images/Wii/LetterBomb-PC.png)
1. On your Wii, go to `Wii Settings`. At this point, take note in the top right corner of the letter next to the system version. This letter corresponds to your system menu region, which you will need to know for the corresponding steps. Also, ensure that you are on System Menu version 4.3.
![Wii Region](/images/wii/SystemMenuVersion.png)
1. Next, go to `Internet` > `Console Information`, and take note of your FULL MAC address.
![Mac Address](/images/wii/MacAddress.png)
1. Visit [the HackMii website](https://please.hackmii.com/) and input your Wii MAC address and region. Ensure `Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!` is checked, and cut either wire.
![HackMii Screen](/images/exploits/letterbomb/LetterBomb-PC.png)
1. Take your SD card, and make sure that it is formatted as FAT32.
1. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP to the root of your SD card.
1. Take out your SD card and insert it in your Wii.
+ The SD card must be inserted in the SD card slot located in the front of the Wii. Using a USB adapter plugged into the Wii's USB port will not work.
1. On your Wii, return to the Wii Menu and then open the Wii Message Board.
1. Load the red letter with a bomb icon.
+ The SD card must be inserted in the SD card slot located in the front of the Wii. Using a USB to SD adapter plugged into the Wii's USB port will not work.
1. On your Wii, return to the Wii Menu and then open the Wii Message Board. Then, open the red letter with a bomb.
+ Ensure the date on your Wii is correct, otherwise you might be unable to find the letter.
+ In various scenarios, you may need to look at the previous or next day to find it.
+ If you don't see the red letter, check if any errors appear in the SD card sections in `Data Management`. If any do, there may be an issue with the SD card format or the Wiis SD card reader.
+ If your Wii freezes after clicking on the letter, you probably chose the wrong region when downloading the exploit. Redo Step 2 and select the correct region.
+ In some cases, you may need to check the messages for tommorow or yesterday for the letter to show up.
+ If you don't see the red letter, check if any errors appear in the SD card section of `Data Management`. If any do, there may be an issue with the SD card format or the Wiis SD card reader.
+ If your Wii freezes after clicking on the letter, you most likely chose the wrong system menu region for LetterBomb. Go back to Step 2 and verify that you chose the right region.

title: "Recovery Mode"

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
![Recovery Mode Screen](/images/recovery-mode/recovery-mode-screen.png)
Recovery Mode is a last resort method for recovering your Wii console from a brick before resorting to hard-modding and manual NAND programming. This mode was accessed by Nintendo employees in the factory by the usage of a special dongle, but the input needed to access it can easily be replicated in the present with a GameCube controller. Essentially, Recovery Mode puts a Wii Menu in a state where programs can be executed from a disc, including some retail games. This guide will instruct you on how to recover from some bricks using it.
#### What you need:
+ A GameCube controller
+ If the Diagnostic Disc Check was previously removed with Priiloader, or if a drive chip is on hand:
+ Super Smash Bros. Melee (Smash Stack)
+ Any other exploited Wii game, with the current exploit game save on the console (see [Legacy Exploits](legacy-exploits))
+ If the Diagnostic Disc Check was not previously removed with Priiloader, and no drive chip is on hand:
+ Super Smash Bros. Melee (Smash Stack)
+ An original revision Nintendo Wii (Family Edition Wiis will not work)
+ A Windows/Mac OS/Linux PC with an Internet connection
+ An SD Card formatted to Fat32
#### Preparation
#### Method I - Recovery Menu to Smash Stack
#### Method II - Recovery Menu to Bluebomb
#### Method III - Recovery Menu to Save Game Exploit
