Thanks for clarifying that point. By “there’s no recovery” I understood “there’s no way to roll back – your data is lost”. Thanks for clarifying that point.

Not reset to factory. That definitely has no recovery as he said. Hatchhaker: By wipe it and start over, he means it erases the NAND Flash completely. Not reset to factory.

That sounds like you could unbrick a wii simply by corrupting the filesystem (and losing all saves), is that right? Sorry, I forgot this one:

This has brought to my mind a couple of questions: 1) How big is WiiConnect24 compared to the rest of IOS? If it is very big and one doesn't need News or Weather channels, would it be feasible to eliminate it in order to gain some space? (yes, I'm concerned about my NAND becoming full some day) 2) Is BC easy to patch? If so, it could perhaps send some signal (e.g. using Marcan's display or USBGecko) as to when it is executed, so that all the cases in which it is launched can be traced. That would help reduce the uncertainity related to BC. Good insight. This has brought to my mind a couple of questions:

I’m always fearful of loading anything in to the Wii flash in case it bricks it. I like being able to put in a modified dvd with a loader.dol file. I haven’t upgraded to the version that prevents trucha signing yet, but it would be nice to know that if in the future we were somehow forced to, that this bug could be opened up again by modifying IOS. thx if you want to use trucha disks in 3.3 then just install one of the many versions of geckoOS that have been made into a channel, i personally use this one: http://www.filedropper.com/geckoosdwii Anonymous // Jul 13, 2008 at 1:15 pm
