The much talked about recovery dongle for the Wii is here!! And it has been appropriately been named SaveMii. As per the article, this is not the complete solution but should help unbrick Wiis that can reach the System Menu stage. This plugs into the gamecube slot and boots the Wii into a recovery mode. Aftet this, using an update disc you can unbrick your Wii. As simple as that! At this point I am not really sure if this fixes the bootup white page scenario, but it’s an awesome release nonetheless.

Further in the article, they’ve talked about a BootMii release for the future, which will be a complete solution for the bricked Wiis of any kind. However, if SaveMii fixes your Wii, that should be more than enough. A big advantage that BootMii will come with though, is a safeguard against bricks. This means, you will not be able to brick your Wii (software-wise ofcourse ) using the ‘softpatching’ that the dongle will provide.

These are pretty much the details available right now. If you have a bricked Wii that you’ve been unable to fix via the solutions that have been posted by me and others, then this should worth a try and you should consider buying one! Keep reading for more updates on this!

UPDATE:- It does seem to fix the famous Whitepage error (otherwise known as fullbrick)! Considering that it is only $30 with shipping, it’s definitely something worth buying, even if you’ve not yet bricked your Wii yet! I am definitely ordering mine!
