|

|

BootMii allows for backing up and restoring your Wii's NAND storage. This page will guide you in backing up your Wii's NAND to an SD Card, which you can then use however you like.
|
||||
|
||||
Family edition Wiis (Wiis without GameCube ports) CANNOT restore NAND backups. This is because of the lack of GameCube ports which are required on non-boot2 Wiis to enter the restoration confirmation code. Please bear this in mind before you make one, even though it is recommended to do so anyway.

Navigating BootMii is not possible using a Wii Remote. You must use the POWER and RESET buttons on your console, or a GameCube controller plugged into port 1. To navigate between options, press POWER on your Wii (or left/right on the +Control Pad on a GameCube controller). To select an option, press RESET on your Wii or A on your GameCube controller. You will NEED to use a GameCube controller to restore a NAND backup in the future if BootMii is installed as IOS.

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:
|
||||
|
||||
+ **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](wiimmfi). DOING OTHERWISE COULD PLACE YOUR WII AT RISK OF BEING BRICKED!**
|
||||
+ **ONLY INSTALL UPDATES FOR YOUR OWN REGION**.
|
||||
+ 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**.
|
||||
+ **Do NOT follow old Wii modding tutorials, use old homebrew, or use video guides on the Internet unless it is EXPLICITLY RECOMMENDED by the homebrew 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 restore NAND backups from other consoles!**
|
||||
+ **Do NOT use a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service unless it is known to be RCE patched (such as [Wiimmfi](wiimmfi). Doing otherwise coudl allow a malicious actor to BRICK your Wii!
|

If it is Korean, be EXTREMELY careful with applying system updates to your console, and consider seeking support for further assistance.
|
||||
+ **Do NOT delete or modify system files, and do NOT install any system file mods unless you know what you are doing!
|
||||
+ An example of modifying files going wrong is replacing IOS80 on Wii Mini, which may result in a [Wi-Fi Brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick).
|
||||
+ **Do NOT install homebrew from untrustworthy sources or if the source code is not available.**
|
||||
+ Software on the [Open Shop Channel](osc) is safe.
|
||||
+ 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.
|

|

+ **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.
|
||||
+ If your electricity is unstable (e.g. storm, power outage), postpone what you are doing until you have a stable power source.
|
||||
+ This applies to dangerous processes such as BootMii NAND restoration, which could lead to a [full brick](#low-level-brick) if anything goes wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
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.

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](priiloader).

### What is homebrew?
|
||||
|
||||
**Homebrew** mostly refers to software that was not authorized by the original creator of a piece of hardware - in this case, being Nintendo. In order to gain the ability to run homebrew on the Wii, the console must first be hijacked to run unsigned code.

Here are some common examples of what homebrew can do for your Wii:

|

+ Enhance the [brick protection](priiloader) of your Wii.

|
||||
+ Depending on what you use the Wii for, you may have to make some modifications to the system memory that could be potentially fatal to system functionality. As long as you follow this guide exactly, you should be fine, but for general brick prevention tips see [this](bricks#brick-prevention) page.
|
||||
+ The differences between the Wii and Wii mini are quite large. This means that in some cases, something that is normally harmless to the Wii could cause a [severe brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick) to the Wii mini - make sure to pay attention if you are planning to mod one!
