Now, put the sd card into you sd card slot on the wii. Once you have done this you have to rename the Keys-Fixed.bin file to keys.bin
What you need to do now, is copy or cut (its up to you) the nand.bin and Keys-Fixed.bin files and paste them in the root of your sd card. So now your nandfix folder has this inside it one called log.txt and one called Keys-Fixed.bin. Go to the Bootmii-KEYFIX.exe file and run it (double click) it will do a little bit of thingy for you, and then you will have 2 new files appear.
So now inside this nandfix folder you have 3 files So like i said, copy the nand.bin and keys.bin files and the paste them into your recently created "nandfix" folder. this is important just in case god forbid, things go haywire (its highly unlikely though, but hey, better to be safe then sorry) and it doesnt work, and your original nand backup files are rendered useless. now what you need to do is to COPY both of these. Now find those nand.bin and keys.bin files i told you to find before (you put them in a safe place remember). so now in wherever you extracted it to (for the explanations' clarity's sake lets just say you also made a new folder called nandfix on your desktop), so now in this nandfix folder you have an. i personally created a new empty folder called nandfix on my desktop and extracted it to there.

Open this rar file, and extract the contents onto your desktop or wherever. eitherway, it doesnt matter, because its fixable thanks to BlackAce83 and redia (some dudes on here, who know stuff we dont) it beats the crap out of me, some bug or something. You first need to fix the files (i know, i know. you can just put these two files back onto the root of the sd card, load bootmii, and then copy the backup off the sd card back onto the wii. This is however where you will hit a bit of a snag. and if you followed the directions of the afformentioned 2 guides well, you would have put these files in a safe place. these are the files that were created when you made you nand backup using bootmii. you need to find your nand.bin and keys.bin files.
#YOUTUBE MII INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO#
doing this, when you turn on your semibricked wii with the sd card in the slot, it will load into bootmii (again, see the previously mentioned 2 guides on clear explanations on how to install bootmii, what to do with the files, etc etc) put the bootmii folder that was created when you installed bootmii back onto the root of the sd card (if you took it off your sd card like many guides tell you) or rename it again the way it was orignally (if you renamed it, like many guides suggest). so for some reason your stuff has all gone bonkers for some reason, and not you cannot access the wii system menu (the menu with the channels on it, the one that is on your wii right from the get go). youll find it in sections where they talk about backing up the nandĪnyway, so back to the the restore. The info is there, and is easy to understand. there are many guides on how to do this here, but just incase, and you want all the info at your finger tips, i will provide a couple of links to threads created by some clever chaps on this site My step by tiny little step guide on how to use the Bootmii nand backup you made (after using the hackmii 0.3 installer to install bootmii and create your nand back up.

I decided to post this thread, because i had come across this problem myself personally today, and i spent the better part of today searching this site and other sites, to piece together information about how to do this, why it didnt seem to work, and to figure out what infantile steps i wasn't taking, that other partial guides left off having deemed it trivial information, but the uninformed such as myself have no idea about, and tear our hair out over.
