| #### What you need | ||
| - An earlier NAND Backup made by [BootMii](https://wii.guide/bootmii) | ||
| - A GameCube Controller* | ||

| {: .notice--info} | ||
| #### 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. | ||
|
|
||
| If you didn't install BootMii nor don't have a NAND backup, please install it and do a backup. You cannot restore a NAND backup from a USB. | ||
| {: .notice--warning} | ||
| <strong>Restoring an unverified NAND backup may lead to a WORSE BRICK.</strong> | ||
|
|
||
| Wii consoles with no GameCube controller ports CANNOT RECOVER from a NAND backup. This is because recovering from a NAND backup while having BootMii as IOS is dangerous. | ||
| {: .notice--danger} | ||
| #### Requirements | ||
| The same also goes for faulty SD cards. | ||
|
|
||
| - [BootMii](https://wii.guide/bootmii) | ||
| - An SD card | ||
| - NAND Backup | ||
| <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. | ||

||
| 1. Launch the Homebrew Channel. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. Press the HOME Button, then select "Launch BootMii". | ||
|
|
||
| You must use the POWER (right) and RESET (select) buttons on your console, or a GameCube controller plugged into port 1. To navigate with a GameCube controller, click left/right on the +Control Pad on a GameCube controller. To select, press A. | ||
| {: .notice--info} | ||
|
|
||
| 3. Select the Options button (the icon with the gears).  | ||
|
|
||
| 4. Select the RestoreMii button.  | ||
|
|
||
| 5. On your GameCube controller, press the following buttons (Konami): ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, START | ||
| 5. On your GameCube controller, input the Konami code: ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, START | ||
| 6. After the recovery ended, you should see a text say `I HAZ SUCCESS!`, otherwise `I HAZ FAIL`. Hit any button on your Wii console or GCN controller. |
