Wii In Maintenance Mode

Did you know if you hold down the A, +, and - buttons on the Wii remote, while your at the Wii Menus Health Startup Screen it make your wii go into maintenance mode?

Instructions. [Noobs]

Turn on your wii.

When the health warning comes up press down on the +, and - buttons, until the wii remote syncs. [The light at the bottom turns solid blue.]

While still holding the + and - buttons press A on the wii remote.

Your Wii is now in maintenance mode. You may not use your wii message sender or look at your messages. xD To get it out of maintenance just restart your wii. [Turn it off.]

Wonder what its used for......No changes that I see are made, beside the wii message board.

I read about it. Its probably for Nintendo running some recovery applications if your wii has problems. How do you get out of it?

Yeah It helps when you get a "System Files are Corrupted" message.

Plus an added bonus, the Mario Kart Channel is ****ed up and is in Japanese! :D

if you have a malformed banner, most of the time it will give you that error message.

If your Wii Menu's IOS disappears, you better hope you have BootMii as boot2 installed.

If someone were able to make a fix for this could it help a bricked wii? or when the bootloader is bricked the health message doesnt show?

If the bootloader is bricked then you're screwed.

yyhhggtt

I don't think it'll screw up your boot0, boot1, and boot2... Your System Menu is loaded at IOS60, 30, 70, 20, 10, etc. I don't know how it would screw it if the System is being loaded at IOS60. The boot0, 1, 2 are loaded once. Unless it was a hard reset.

Oh and I just realized that SD Menu is gone. With WiiConnect24 and Country.

Is it a "safe mode"?
