[QUOTE="Ocarina, post: 4783906, member: 118263"] Hello. I'm sure this has been asked before, but I was unable to find a thread in this site or others exactly relating to my own scenario. I actually have attempted asking this on the WiiBrew forums, but so far haven't recieved much of an answer to be honest. Basically, I want to restore my Wii to its default factory (un-softmodded) settings. I've been trying to do this for awhile now and I've seemed to be unsuccessful in my different approaches. My Wii is currently on System Menu 4.3. Using various methods, I've removed a lot of the homebrew that's been present, however, something new all ways comes up. I understand I probably won't be able to remove ALL traces of homebrew on my Wii, that would definitely be ideal, but not feasible. What I would like to achieve is downgrading my Wii, to 4.2/1 or even 3.x, and then re-updating my Wii officially through Nintendo's servers. So all my channels are up to date and such, officially, and with the least amount of homebrew traceable as possible. I understand I could achieve this on my own through the use of homebrew apps, and I kind of have, but I don't 'feel' right about it. That might sound a bit silly to some, but we all have our obsessions, I would like me Wii to be considered as 'normal' again and I feel that perhaps updating it through Nintendo officially is probably the best way to achieve this as they tend to delete a lot of homebrew off your console. If someone could tell me if that's possible, to downgrade my Wii and re-update officially, that would be fantastic. And if it's not too much to ask, could I get a quick guide of what apps I should run to achieve this? I'm obviously still willing to run homebrew apps to achieve my goal. If someone has a better solution in mind I'm happy to hear suggestions. My main goal is to have as much homebrew taken off my Wii as possible and to have it up-to-date officially on Nintendo's servers with no 'funny business', if you will. Thank you for reading. I appreciate any help. [/QUOTE]
