Unbricking resources
- HBC boot ISO / template
This ISO image will normally boot the Homebrew Channel, if it's installed. If you use software tools to make this autoboot and switch it to your console's region, and use it together with SaveMii, and if you have System Menu 3.2 or earlier, you can use this to boot homebrew even if your wii is bricked. Then, use any tools at your disposal to fix the brick. This is particularly handy for people who have bricked their Wiis by improper homebrew use, such as region changers and bad banners. You can also inject any other homebrew app into it and run it without having HBC installed.
- Tona's AnyRegion Changer
If you screwed up your Wii's region, then this tool is for you. Use it to fix your region settings. You'll need a way of booting homebrew.
- Twilight Hack
Do you have 3.3 installed, so you can't use the above homebrew ISO? Did you brick your Wii using something other than an incorrect system menu version? If you have a modchip, there's still a way you can fix your Wii, but only if you previously had the Twilight Hack installed. For those who use it to install HBC, don't delete it once you're done! It can mean the difference between a fixable and an unfixable Wii in cases such as this one. If your Wii can't boot fakesigned discs, but you have the Twilight Hack installed, then you can burn a backup of Twilight Princess modified to autoboot (of course, you should only do this if you own the original!), and then use the existing Twilight Hack to launch some homebrew from your SD card, and use that to fix your Wii. Phew!
