Hacking BootMii as IOS

blitter · May 20, 2009

I'm thinking of upgrading from 3.2E to 4.0E, but my Wii is completely IOS based (no chip, no boot 2).
I also have Preloader 0.27 (which I might upgrade first), which I can run HBC 1.0.2 then BootMii from and have access to NAND backup/restore.

My questions:

1) if I upgrade to 4.0, will I lose Preloader? And if so, is it 100% to re-install it on 4.0?

2) will a NAND restore work via IOS?

Obviously I need Preloader at all times to keep things brick-proof.

#1. IF you upgrade then you will lose the preloader. If you upgrade to the latest version of preloader then there is a 50% perscent chance that it wont work.

#2. That i have no idea because i have not tested it because i load bootmii via IOS also and don't have a GC controller.

1) You loose preloader if you install a SM so will have to reinstall it. 0.29 works on 4.0.

2) Yes, but TT don't recommend it.

Just don't update from Nintendo. Use waninkokos Firmware Updater 4.0

Thanks for replies. I'm now on 4.0 no problem, thanks also to Waninkoko's utils.
