Tobe safe I re-flashed the new wiikey back to 1. Everything can be played except SMG. No problem. Seems the stock 1. I was thinking of re-flashing the old wiikey, so I was thinking about swapping method. The old wiikey was then put into another DB9 plug.
Just for fun, I turned on the wii with the old wiikey connected and inset a backup disc. Amazingly, my wii was working and back to the old stage. So What happened then was the other way around. I use my old wiikey to trick config 1.
What an ironi. Anyway, lesson learnt? Honestly I am getting more confused. I cannot say the soldering points were the culprit. I did reheat each soldering point of old wiikey with no good result.
I can probably say, it worth a try to remove your broken wiikey and putting it back or try to run it externally. I reflashed back to 1. If I understand you correctly : removing it and placing it back solved the problem? Assume it does, that portion of wiikey 1. Then we can again assume this problem only happen to wiikey installed permanently in the wii.
There are two holes in wiikey we used to connect to wii plus 4 more small connector. The bottom hole that connect to the fatter trace on wii is the ground. I originally posted a problem in November with my Wii having the mod done and working flawlessly with the 1. My case is more severe, our Wii would not read backups or original disc. I thought the worse and was thinking I would have to try to send it back to Nintendo for a bad drive. Well… This past weekend, I took off the WiiKey and now it reads the original disc so it was definately the mod chip… My kids wanted to play with the Wii so I did not have a chance to reinstall the WiiKey again for the second time to see if the chip is bad or if the original installation a connection had come loose since it was working for such a long time, months… I will post the results when I get back to installing the WiiKey again.
Jan 5th update 3. After an hour wii no longer recognize BUs again, and now will not even read 1. Upgraded to 1,9g som months back… Everything worked fine until last night when suddenly my Wii stopped reading backups..
Have downgraded to 1,9b using 1,9b rescue disc… It worked and i got the Wii to start reading backups again.. Yes my friend a new chip or flash the chip with a programer, the installer will take the other off and do this and install a new one in your keeping the other and probably sell it to other person, this is ok cause he is taking the risk of unistalling shit from another service and cause he knows what is doing, from now on dont upgrade any shit just because one game.
Am getting my console this week. Hello, considering my wii cant read SMG ill assume i havent upgraded my wiikey version to 1. Hi, my backups stopped workin tonight ive got the same trouble as everyone else but when i put in an original all works fine untill i eject it while on the channels screen. Got my Wii back and working. They switched my chip for a new one.
So probably not a software related problem. I had the same problem. Right after I got wiikey , I installed it and got it working playing mario party 8. I was thinking about playing smg so I inserted the 1. I then inserted my config 1. I also tried the recovery disc and that supposably restore something I think.
As far as I can see, this problem only occurs with D2B cut versions, newer mainboards The Pin number 4 to be soldered directly to processor. True or false? When they do work, they only work for about 5 minutes max.
I have tried downgrading the software to 1. I would say it was a problem with the modchip, but then the backups would no be working at all, but I do get about 5 minutes of play time on the discs before getting an error sometimes. I am experiencing exactly the same troubles as tonyt. Start a Copy after a long pause or resetting the chip by shortcutting the connections works once.
A second try results in starting error Drive stops after few seconds. Mainboard of drive is latest D2B version with cut pins. I am adding a link with foto! Who knows the soultion? What about the pros? Is the D2B cut with missing pin unmoddable with Wiikey? Which chip shall I take? I was running 1. Saved my settings, restarted. Now I cant play anything. Then I updated the wii to 3. Why does the wiikey team make the source code not open source so other programmer can continue the work if they do not do it..
I am currently running version 1. Well i had the exact same issues as all above except it would read originals ut not back ups. My Wii stopped reading backups after about 1 month of 1. I do put my power off every time, for environmental reasons.
I read here that more Wiikeys have stopped working after power-downs, but mine had had the power off lots of times before. Originals still work fine, btw! Then I desoldered the Wiikey, turned the Wii on. Then resoldered the key, turned the Wii on, but nothing had changed. This is what I did that probably messed it up:. Got SMG 2.
Did the 2 Updates for SMG 3. Downloaded wiikey 1. Ran Config1. Restarted Wii 7. Start SMG and still getting unauthorized device detected. I updated to 1. My wii back ups still worked fine but my emulators would just give a disc read error. NEXT i ran it in my wii and it read it as a gc disk then booted into the wiikey config menu.
Now everything works great. Common people the update works great. Im been using it for like 2 weeks now. No errors my WiiKey acturrally works even better now! This disc is FULL of scratchs. I can recover some backups now. It looks like all wiikeys who stopped working are clones, not originals.
Can someone confirm this? Is the someone who has an original wiikey which stops working? I hope that it helps someone. I had my Wii modded with an authentic WiiKey, 1. I had just bought SMG and was very hesitant to load 1.
I successfully upgraded to 1. Strangely enough, a different backup received the same error. I tried one of my old backups and it loaded fine. I downgraded to 1. SMG failed with the original error, but the new backups I created also failed. Older backups ran fine limited testing. This morning, I picked up a spindle of DVD-R and created a new backup of the software that failed earlier.
I was curious to see what would happen to SMG. SMG loaded with no errors. I have not gotten config 1. Right now everything is running and I will be checking ALL of my backups this weekend running 1.
The same thing happened to me. Nobody knows if it will unbrick your Wii, because we do not know which game bricked it in the first place. Just to let you know, when Mario Galaxy updated my Wii i never put the 1. Will i be able to put this on now or will the wii still not be able to read the disc? Thanks so much for you help rafadawn.

Hello to all you Mod experts out there I really need your help!! I had my PAL Wii firmware 2. My chip and setup must be good cos I could play backups originally real wiikey or clone!!! I've even followed the technique for clone wiikeys - nothing!!! Not sure if or how I can do this, will this recover the Wiikey on my Wii running Firmware 3. Please can anybody help!!! Thank you in advance. Hi Rafadawn, I have tried 1. First time as a TEST and then for real? This is very very important!
Once you do that, then you should be able to run the backups. If the image is not 1. Unfortunately each bat file will make a 4. Here is what you do: Select the bat for your region. Right-click on it and select EDIT. The file should open in Notepad. Change the number to Now, save and close the bat file, then double click on it to run it. It will run for few seconds and it will create an image 1. You should be all set after it. KromaZone: Yesy, you can run the 1.
Over the last few weeks the game has worked fine but occassionally, just at startup I'll get an error message sorry I didn't think of it as a concern as I just either had to eject and again insert the disc or unplug the Wii and insert the disc again and off I went to play SMG.
I thought it may just be a subpar burn. I could just power off so I unplugged the Wii and reinserted the disk, and again, I'm able to play. However, since this message talked about an unauthorized device I was a little more concerned and figured I'd ask if anyone else is gettinng this message ONLY occassionally, and like me, it doesn't seem to be stopping the game play, it's just an inconvenience at this point. When I was playing a backup of SMG, my wii froze and it was making this ringing sound.
I had to unplug it to work. I opened up the wii and tested the connections and they seem to be fine has anyone else had this problem. Any help greatly appreciated BTW i've used different media and that doesn't help. Am trying the recovery disk now using many methods. MechaLol , May 25, Well, as strange as it sounds but it works in most cases , even though your Wii might be at 3.
Let me know. If the recover disc does not work, then check if any GCOS disc works. If they do then your Wiikey is alive. Last edited: May 26, My Wii wont read backup dvd-r's anymore. Is there any way using an sd card or some other method to see if my wiikey is dead or will accept a flash?
I tried updating to I didn't do the regionfrii step What is a GCOS disc? My Wii was at 2. A GCOS Wikkey config disc is used when, because of a firmware update, the Wii, although modded, is not able to read a normal Wiikey Config disc the ones from the official Wiikey site.
After this is done the Wiikey will be back to normal. So basically, is the GCOS disc to turn region override on or off the wiikey recovery disc that is on the wiikey website that you can download? Here is the description from that page: "Some people are having problems getting the newly released Wiikey 1. We have not figured out why the config disc works for some but not others so I went ahead and made up GCOS versions for all 3 versions of the 1.
Hopefully this will save people 2mins if their having problems getting the 1. Just download and burn, it's all ready to go. Have you ever wondered about which game runs at p and which doesn't on the Wii? Or what kind of aspect ratio they support?

Thank you brido84 for letting me use you nicely done SMG summary. In your honor I just added two more links to Wii Applications and Homebrew info. Can I still play my real versions of my games if I have a wiikey that is up to date. The reason I have this thread up is that when SMG came out it contained firmware 3. That firmware disabled the Wiikey.
