Brand new. Shipping tarak.

Damn, I've been cheated!!! Last night I only setup the newly bought red wii for my kids to play game and guess what I found? Homebrew channel, USB loader, NeoGamma etc. It is a soft-modded wii all along!!!
Good thing is I still get the Wii Sport and New Super Mario Bros. games bundled. Now my problem is:

1) Can I reverse the mod back to ori? Any good tutorial? All tutorial I found online is telling people how to mod/hack but when get asked how to remove nobody gives a damn and ask back "Why would you want to remove the mod/hack?".

2) My system firmware is 4.0U, and when I play NSMB the Wii will crashed; check online to find that NSMB need firmware update. The NSMB disk didn't update my system at all. Why? I thought the disk should have the necessary update.

3) I tried to perform system update via wireless, and keep getting Error Code: 32004. I've check my internet connection, the connection is good and I don't have firewall setup except for the Windows Firewall. So how do I update? Or is it the soft-mod blocking system update?

4) Now if I can't unmod the Wii, but I stick to original NTSC-U game only what problem would I face?

If you don't update to necessary firmware you won't be able to start the game at all, it shouldn't crash. The way I unmod is, update my Wii via a game (Super Mario Collection in my case), got rid of all the HB stuffs, then auto reset, prompt for another update again.

A modded US wii, if you have the relevant disc updated, you can actually use that to override and remove the mods installed. However, i'm not sure if it is foolproof because I've had some cases heard that it did brick in the end.

I suggest you take the back the wii and get a refund.

So basically if I successfully perform a system update all the mod will be gone.
Does the NSMB disk that bundled together with the console have relavant update? Mine didn't update the system so I'll take that as a no, but will those hacks prevent system update?
How to check whether a game disk contain update?
BTW, anyone can help me with the 32004 error?

All game discs contains update with the latest firmware compatible. Frankly, the NSMB game should be able to update your wii. Which is why I felt a little awkward that it couldn't do so.

If you are having the red Wii, I'll be very shocked if it didn't already have the FW to play the much older NSMB.

it depend on your current firmware... even if u update to the latest firmware, the modded files still in your nand. homebrew channel/other channel can be easily deleted using wii menu...

Restore factory settings should be possible too no?

^i think patched ios, some hb's config files still intact. i donno for sure. i remember long time ago, i'm using nandclean and remove unwanted ios manually for an example ios 249/250 which i'm sure were installed to play backup game..

My firmware is 4.0U with Homebrew Channel & NeoGamma R9 installed.
What I want to know is even with a modded NTSC-U wii, if I only play original NTSC-U game on it I shouldn't face much problem, correct?
Now if NSMB didn't update the system, meaning the 4.0U firmware is enough to play it? Then what is causing the wii to crash. I can start the game normally, and play for a while when the console will suddenly crash. The "point-of-crashing" is not fixed but rather random. I don't have this crashing problem with the bundled Wii Sport.

How to restore factory setting?

Sounds more like game disc problem now

...err. as i remember nsmb came with system update 4.2. it should prompt u to update. maybe your wii already modded to skip firmware update...

titanium, I think its best you send the whole thing back. This sounds, a little too awkward.

Disk problem then I should go and exchange the disk.

Anyway anyone faced this error 32004 problem before? Nintendo troubleshooting says this is caused by either weak internet connection or blocked by firewall. My streamyx connection is good and doesn't use firewall. My wireless router is the Riger brand Streamyx bundled one.
Setting on Wii:
Wireless Connection
using WEP security key
auto obtain IP address
manual input DNS
MTU = 0
country set as United State

Added on February 16, 2011, 5:29 pmIs there a way to remove this hack?

---

Added on February 16, 2011, 5:48 pmYeah, I know I should. I can only go to the shop again during weekend, and there might be dispute and not easy to get refund. Plus beside a soft-modded console, I get everything bundled together. So before resolve to the return & refund step I might as well try something first. If I can unmod it then settle.
My current problem with the seller:
1) Sold me modded consle instead of unmodded as I request, but I get everything bundled together.
2) NSMB crashing problem... have to make sure whether is the disk problem or due to the mod, since the Wii Sport is working. This I'll bring the console and disk to the shop and show them.
3) Cannot system update due to error 32004, according to Nintendo this error has nothing to do with mod/hack but weak internet connection or firewall issue; again i wasn't so sure whether the mod/hack has anything to do with this.
So what I'm going to do is try to remove the mod. On Saturday I'll go to the shop again to 1) exchange the Korean Wii Fit to US Wii Fit as her promise; 2) show her the NSMB isn't working; 3) point out that she sold me a modded wii when I asked for unmodded.

Make sure the lady is there. If not we're gonna get in more trouble. huhu.

One quick question, is it safe to format the system memory for a modded wii? Format system moemory is what you said "restore to factory setting" right?
Now think back since the seller sold this modded wii as an unmodded, if I brick the wii when performing a system memory format then I can pretend that the console has problem and ask for exchange or refund.

firstly the Wii Sports and NSMB game was part of the official bundle so i don't see why you are happy enough just to have it ! it was SUPPOSE to be YOURS !

the red Wii bundle should have been on firmware version 4.3U originally so it means the system menu has also been downgraded to 4.0U ... god knows if they've screwed up something while doing that downgrade ... it's not necessary a process ppl want to do while softmodding unless really familiar with the pros/cons

may not be so but i won't be surprised it's bcos of them leaving some files not updated correctly or incorrect version combinations in there that is causing a problem like yours in running the original NSMB game.

it is possible for them to put a hack to avoid disc and online updates of system firmware so that may be the reason y u never get prompt or can't do online update. i won't name the app but it's something that loads prior to the system menu boot process.

as for "unmodding" it i think you're taking unnecessary risk on something which is not your fault but it's up to u i guess. if u can't unmod it ... there is bound to be problems with other games too so just be prepared to spend some time figuring out how to get them to work.

we haven't even start talking about some other features eg. Wii Shop (virtual console/wiiware/free apps), Nintendo Channel, Opera Browser which u can easily enjoy and download without hassle if it was unmodded.


all in all ... if possible i would go with Kyo's suggestion ... don't touch anything that is not working and just exchange or refund it. while waiting for weekend .. just play watever works for now

It's the freaking Malaysia market, most local game shop get pre-modded console. It is freaking hard to get unmodded console or original game titles. Before J@ilbreak people buy their PS3 from Sony and all those shops are "forced" to sell original PS3 games, now in every shops you can see ripped PS3 games being copied to HDD. Yesterday when I asked around for unmodded Wii those seller just stared at me like a three-headed monster.
Until yesterday, I know nothing of Wii mod, Homebrew, hacks or whatever but today I've read a lot of articles so now I'm pretty sure what is blocking the system update (The big "P").
