Mention that BlueBomb can fix the banner bricks in any circumstance

== Banner Brick ==
A Banner Brick occurs when the user installs a channel with an invalid banner (wrong image size). With this type of brick the system will freeze after the Health and Safety screen and may display a "System Files are Corrupted" error message. This can be fixed if the Wii has previously had '''BootMii''' (as Boot2),WC24 title booting or '''Preloader''' installed, otherwise it's the hypothetical equivalent to a Full Brick.

This can be fixed if the Wii has previously had '''BootMii''' (as Boot2),WC24 title booting or '''Preloader/Priiloader''' installed, or as a last resort, the BlueBomb exploit.
Since boot2 is intact during a Banner Brick, any user who owns a pre Q4 2008 Wii with '''BootMii''' installed (as boot2) can access '''BootMii''' regardless of any corrupt WAD installed. From here they can access the HBC to uninstall the broken channel.

If Preloader or Priiloader is installed, holding reset while powering on the Wii and launching HBC will enable recovery by uninstalling the broken channel.
Users Without BootMii installed as boot2 and Priiloader/Preloader may use the BlueBomb exploit to launch the HackMii installer, which will enable access to the HBC, so a similar recovery procedure can be used as described before.
