what were the system menu settings and how the hell can you get it crash like 
that :/

if i could get it to crash like that then i can fix it.

and are you REALLY sure it said checksum success ? cause that means the write 
was correct and was verified as correct. im also not sure why the hell it would 
freeze after a verification

also pointing out that 0.6 does the check TWICE (when its written to /tmp which 
is harmless and after it is moved to the system menu title...)

I didn't really check the System Menu settings, but the wii was set up just 
days before, so they didn't have much time to fiddle with them. English, 
widescreen, no internet connection. Not much else.

I'm positive it said checksum success, then just hung there. I had to hold down 
the power button to turn it off, then I'd get a black screen when I tried to 
turn it on.

That's why I posted this, because it's confusing to me too. If everything was 
verified and pretty much all the program had to do was exit back to HBC, why 
would it brick?

The only thing I did different with this installation was ran Priiloader 
immediately after installing the HBC via Smash Stack. I doubt it, but could 
going straight from the HackMii installer to the HBC to installing be the 
problem?

no thats not the problem.

thanks for reporting and ill see what i can do :/

Issue 166 has been merged into this issue.

Could be the same, but mine hang in "Patching Tmd..." message, so my question 
is the next is this one of that full bricked wii? And if i cant get in to 
recovery menu is it priiloader changes in the system or any other reason??

May also be related, I just bricked using the 0.4 installer; it got as far as 
failing the ES_DIverify step, then asked if I wished to continue or quit. I 
chose to exit by hitting the Home button, and the "Aborting mission" message 
appeared as expected, but then the app froze. I let it sit for about ten 
minutes, then held power to shut down. Now powers on to black screen. No 
drivechip or Injectus here, so I believe it's quite thoroughly busted. Anyone 
for spare parts?

yes im in for spare parts.
even if you dont have the keys ill gladly take the parts if you want to send 
them :P

also, i dont think the installer did that as all it does then is a ISFS_Deinit 
which just does a IOS_Close(fs_fd). so its all ios stuff
but ok
