Hacking 2x Wii, ?s on scam freeze and lan

[Mike6]

I found a bare wii console at a thrift on half price day, bought it with no knowledge, started looking for PS etc to make it work, and of course found a complete wii at another thrift. Wii2 was 4.3u, and bootmii worked fine with Lego SW. More to do with it, but no real issues. Wii1 is a problem child, 3.1u, both are older with GC ports, Lego SW goes to hackmii which freezes at the scam screen, full installer below, but it notes all the IOS present then appears to try and run IOS 36, and nothing further happens.

I've tried a fair amount of searching, and the mix of ancient advice is murder, but there appears to be an issue with IOS 30 to 36, and they need to be replaced or something like that. Wizard in ModMii didn't guide me in that direction, yet anyway, still trying options.

Lan issues, is lan dead for the Wii? First USB adapter gave 51420 errors on both, but flashed its light like it was trying. Second adapter, Rocketfish Wii, goes to a testing screen with endless moving dots, which makes me think its trying to reaching the now dead shopping channel? I haven't tried it on Wii2 yet, so maybe an IOS issue?

Use Modmii's hackmii solutions wizard (the standard modmii wizard would've told you to do this as well in the fine print if you encounter issues)

Update to the latest os version or /\

Wizard in ModMii didn't guide me in that direction, yet anyway, still trying options.

Working on figuring out how to update the IOS versions, did use the wizard while actively looking for such options. I just now ran MM again and selected hackmii solutions, bannerbomb doesn't work, I used Jodi, same freeze at scam screen, checking installer log in a sec.

SUCCESS
First time I used ModMii I dragged the H drive to the app, after that I just typed H, which apparently created a H folder inside WiiStuff a folder in my hard drive I put most downloaded items and didn't change the SD card, which I sort of noticed but didn't "grasp". While typing the above and after a couple more tries etc, I deleted all the files from the SD before running MM again, and noticed no files on SD card, choose option O, saw the created h folder and dragged contents to SD. Bannerbomb worked, and below is the slightly edited installer log.
