«Error 001, Unauthorized device has been detected»
Usually this is caused by updating your SoftModded Wii with the updates attached to a game disc, or you burned your backup of the game incorrectly. *PLEASE NOTE THIS ONLY FIXES THE PROBLEM ON Version 3.4* OF THE Wii.*
So, I went searching around GBATemp and was able to gather enough information to run a personal test of mine. I was able to fix the issue, and thats why I wanted to post it here, because this is where I found the wonderful support by this wonderful community! I have a selective amount of friends with a softmodded Wii. This solution helped them, so I hope it helps some of yall!
Here we go:
Problem: Black screen, no sound, and only text visual with the following statement: «Error 001, Unauthorized device has been detected»
Possible suspects: Recent update by disc on version 4.3 or Incorrect burn by backup game disc copy (WBFS or ISO)
HOW TO FIX:
Step 1: Make sure you have an SD card or microSD (make sure the microSD comes with an adapter!) with at least 512MB or 1-2GB of storage space.
Step 2: Check to see if you have
The Homebrew Channel installed on your Wii. If you don’t, you can follow a tutorial on how to install the homebrew channel here: https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-install-the-wii-homebrew-channel-2498513 (Same tutorial I used for my Homebrew)
Step 3: Once The homebrew Channel has been installed (or you already had it installed) go ahead and download Pimp my Wii and put it on the SD card. You can get Pimp My Wii v3.02 Here: https://gbatemp.net/download/pimp-my-wii.32415/
Step 4: Once Pimp My Wii is on the SD card, go ahead and run it from HBC (The Homebrew Channel)
Step 5: Once the menu pops up with the Logo and blue and green sections appear, select «Perform the test and fix problems»
Step 6: Let it test the IOSes
Step 7: Press A to do network installation, and when your IP shows, press A again.
Step 8: Press B on your controller once the «Read Modified Games» screen pops up
Step 9: Once the diagnostic is done, go ahead and Press A on the Wiimote, and press A again to list titles to install.
Step 10: Keep pressing A until it tells you all titles have been installed.
Step 11: Go ahead and boot your backup game, It should load without the ERROR 002.
I hope this tutorial helped most of you, and thanks again to GBATemp for being my main place to go when I have problems with my Nintendo devices. I hope this wonderful community continues to grow to the fullest, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you!

Hi all,
Strange problem, I have ran a softmodded Wii for 4-5 years now with no problem. My Wii is currently a 4.3e version and I have neogamma 9 installed to launch my games on DVD media.
However recently each game I try to boot fails and I get a warning error. Error #001 UNAUTHORIZED DEVICE HAS BEEN DETECTED.
What is this issue? The Wii has not been updated to any new official updates. Can I get it working again?
Thanks all.

Maybe a corrupted jailbreak or a new security update nintendo did require a update for the wii shop channel recently to use the wii transfer tool i wonder if that has anything to do with it

This error is generally a neogamma fault / corruption.
Copy everything off the SD card — format it and Update neogamma / or get a new clean copy of it keep all your other files but start from a clean install to start with — try again.
Use syscheck — google will find, this will check what ios’s and cios’s you have installed you need 249 installed for neogamma to work.

you really do come with no answer whatsoever (so to speak), incorrect answer once again, the wii was never jailbroken, team twizzler hacked it, there is no 4.4 end of. Best answer and always will be is by Kittymat he knows wii inside out and all homebrew
