So I'm currently on 4.0u and have HBC along with USB Loader and a few other things installed. If I decide that I simply want to essentially 'format' my Wii and remove any trace of these mods, can it be done now?

I'm thinking I might send in my system for some recent power issues and I want to just undo what I've done in the past. I know I might get my system back with 4.2+ on it but I do have a ton of VC/WiiWare games that I've purchased and don't want to lose them going forward.

Basically, it was fun having the mod but I'm thinking a fresh unmodded system is what I need to stick with.

very true. but it can brick your wii, due to nintendo not doing a proper write to boot2.

Yeah this is exactly what I'm NOT going to do.

So if I was to go into the settings and choose to format the Wii, would it simply format it back to a new 4.0u firmware which is on there now? Or does it need to be done another way? I have no internet connection established on it btw... just to keep myself from 'accidentally' being stupid and updating.

I want to know how to do this as well. I want to remove all traces of the Wii ever being hacked. Anybody have a guide showing how to remove everything?

Someone has to have some kind of input on a thorough way of 'cleansing' your Wii of any and all traces of any hacks done to it...

Or at least a link.

formatting does nothing to the system file structure. since softmods are replacing system files, it can't be erased, or else the system would fail to boot, and using the system format does nothing like that.

only thing i can think of is running every installer you ran, and see if there's an uninstall option. and replace every IOS with a clean version. then use the channel management to erase HBC.
