This is based off of my offline guide to upgrade any console (that has NOT been region hacked) to v4.2 safely. This is a modification of the Shop Channel and IOS61 Installer by tona. It has been rigorously tested and should not brick anyone, but as usual, use it at your own risk. Source included of course.
It will detect your region, download and install all of the NECESSARY IOSes, your specific system menu, and the shopping channel update from v4.2 It will NOT touch your cIOSes, stub anything, or touch your boot2. It also will NOT trucha sign any of the IOSes it downloads and installs. If you want to pirate, you'll have to go ahead and use DOP-IOS or similar to trucha patch your IOS70 after the upgrade is complete  It is almost completely automated. Answer a question in the beginning, sit back and relax, and wait for the update to be completed. When finished, you'll be on v4.2 with everything functional (no upside down HBC, no "vulnerable IOS not found" errors). This should hopefully eliminate all of the goofy issues people have been having with the upgrade. Thanks to Dr.Clipper for MUCH help Enjoy http://sharebee.com/59c72d77 IF YOU HAVE A REGION HACKED WII (IE: YOUR WII WAS KOREAN AND YOU HACKED IT TO REPORT AS A USA CONSOLE), DO NOT PERFORM *ANY* V4.2 UPDATE. NOT THIS OR THE ORIGINAL NINTENDO UPDATE! This post has been edited by zektor: Oct 7 2009, 07:35 PM |

You are able to use this to update from any version, or does it have to be a certain one?

Could you give more info on how to use DOP-IOS or similar to trucha patch the IOS70 after the upgrade is complete, as many people will be reluctant to upgrade without this knowledge, also does this update affect preloader, CiosCorp and playing VC games and Wiiware games from the SD Card.
Thanks anyway great update. |

Thanks anyway great update. Use DOP-IOS v8. Navigate to IOS70 and click A to download, A again to sighash patch (trucha). Done! |

This is a good idea.
Firmware updates should be just like the N updates that leaves alone the cIOSes. If you want other things after the update, change it yourself. You can do most things with a cIOS installed.

Yep. You should really already have your cIOSes installed (249, 222, 223) before performing this update btw. So that way you'll be all set with your loaders and if you need to trucha IOS70 when done, that'll be as easy as using 249 to do it.
Also, make sure you have HBC 1.05 installed before the update as well. Remember, v4.2 system menu deletes the old HBC. Not a big deal if you forget however, as you can always use bannerbomb when done and get the HBC v1.05 installed, but why worry about it later?

A warning: the updater does not check for free space. Ensure you have a good chunk of space (250 blocks) on your Wii before attempting this.

I've been a member since 05, but didn't really start "talking" until maybe a year ago Posts merged QUOTE(Dr. Clipper @ Oct 6 2009, 08:29 PM) A warning: the updater does not check for free space.
