Hacking Screwed up bad, please help! vWII cIOS screw up!

kender · Mar 5, 2015

Thanks, I installed the version 6432, but not with WADManger (not working).
I "SmashStacked" with YAWMM, and follow this guide

Than, I tried the SmashStack + HackMeInstaller to install HBC, and it worked

I didn't think it would work.

I tried installing but i get this error.

I then noticed there is a change IOS screen on here so i changed to 249 so the screen froze. Im assuming this is because i not only have the incorrect IOS 58 but my IOS's from 200+ are all the Regular Wii's IOS.

Jeremy Pettes · Mar 5, 2015

I feel like i royally boned myself because I not only installed the incorrect IOS 58 but i proceeded to install the incorrect cIOS's as well.... Im an idiot and am being punished for being such a noob.... I wish is was able to do what Kender did and just install WADs from IOS 249/250/251 but i believe i installed the wrong cIOS's through the wads that got me into this mess. The only IOS's that i havent touched are the ones below 200. Are any of these vulnerable?

Use YAWMM like the previous user.

i use YAWMM and i get the same thing. If i use revision 249-251 it hangs at loading sd card please wait.... If i use lower revision like 100 and lower i get 1017 ticket error.

kender did you use a cIOS?

SmashStack
Homebrew Launcher, not the hackmeinstaller
Using the Wad Manager

Or maybe a better way? I made a mistake to install the 6175 version, so the HBC is no longer working and can't install it with HackMeInstaller (hang on scam screen)
Others things to do after reinstalled the oringal IOS58?
THanks for reply

Multi-Mod-Manager does a better job when it comes to Wads, especially arranging and managing em'.

IOS 58: Use NUS Downloader on a Windows PC and download and pack the IOS Wad. Then install!

So, how fucked up is your IOS 58 on your vWii?...

Nobody do this. This is literally what bricked the OP's vIOS 58

Edit: Luke, I get that you're trying to be helpful, but please, please, pleeeease research things before you just go and do them, for other's sake if not yours...

Did you try WiiMod Lite?

Ugh, that's how he got into this mess in the first place! He installed a normal IOS onto a vWii.

DO NOT FOLLOW THE ABOVE DIRECTIONS!

Your best bet now is to try updating from a Wii U game with the latest firmware. Hopefully it will detect the old version of IOS58 and install over it.

Jeremy Pettes · Mar 6, 2015

So i went to my local pawn shop and bought a used Wii U for 165$ (including taxes) to replace my old one. Luckily it came with a Wii Mote (w/ Motion Plus) and protectors for both controllers and im going to put custom firmware on here following guides to the T so i dont screw up my IOS's again. I would like to thank everyone who was directly involved in trying to help me repair my IOS. Let it be known to those who dont know what they are doing to not make the same mistake i did! DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR IOS'S UNLESS YOU KNOW 100% WHAT YOU ARE DOING! You all are quality ppl and i very much appreciate everything you all have done to walk me through this issue though it wasnt corrected, i know where i can come to in case I run against problems in the near future.

Why didn't you just buy a used Wii if your hard for playing wii backups? Then you don't need to F with your Wii U.

Probably wanted a fully functioning Wii U for the sake of having one

[user]Jeremy Pettes[/user] Did you keep your old Wii U? If you did, leave it in storage somewhere and you have yourself a Homebrew Machine for when that comes out on the Wii U side later, since that Wii U can't be updated

I was informed that i would no longer be able to update via my WII U considering my IOSs are all screwed and there's no way to fix. I bought a WII U in the case i wouldnt be locket out in the long run.

I can understand that.

I got 2 Wii U's and 2 Wii's, and would rather use the Wii for playing Wii stuff. Right now there is no brick recovery for the vWii, that's mostly why I don't use it much for Wii stuff.

I would have just purchased a regular wii if my wiiu would still have Complete functionality in the long haul. I dont want to have a shiny new game (xenoblade X) down the run and requires a disc system update to play and me no be able to update considering my wii u is screwed.

When you get that xenoblade X, update your malfunctioning Wii U with it, it just might fix it.

You should have just rented a new Wii U game and tried updating.

I actually had the newest update with smash bros U and when i launched the game it didnt require an update because the system was updated prior to me modding anything.
