title: "BootMii Recovery (RestoreMii)"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
- An earlier NAND Backup made by [BootMii](https://wii.guide/bootmii)
|
|
- A GameCube Controller*
|
|
|
|
#### Important notes
|
|
|
|
<strong> Restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort.</strong>
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
<strong>Family edition Wiis (Wiis without GameCube ports) CANNOT restore NAND backups.</strong>
|
|
|
|
Family edition Wiis released very well after [boot1 was patched](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Family_Edition#Changes_carried_over_from_previous_revisions), which means you will not have BootMii as boot2.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have BootMii as boot2, RestoreMii will prompt you for the Konami code via a GameCube Controller.
|
|
|
|
Family edition Wiis do not have ports for GameCube controllers.
|
|
|
|
<strong>Restoring an unverified NAND backup may lead to a WORSE BRICK.</strong>
|
|
|
|
The same also goes for faulty SD cards.
|
|
|
|
<strong>Want to restore individual data from your NAND backup?</strong>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
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.

2. Press the HOME Button, then select "Launch BootMii".
