Hello,
I gave this guide to a friend of mine who wanted to mod her wii but seems she ran into some problems, and since i'm not all knowing about softmodding (have a soft+hardmodded wii myself) i thought you tempers might know a solution to her problem, so i asked her to write down everything she did to most details so we can find the problem the fastest... hope any of you can help
I have a black PAL Wii with version 4.2E on it. ( the 'so-called' limited edition they're selling right now )
(Came in at 4.1 but i system upgrated to 4.2)
I decided to use the guide to softmod a Wii (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=168890)
I started at the "Getting Homebrew and Bootmii" section.
This all went well, and homebrew was installed.
Then i went to "Installing PreLoader and cIOS38".
This didnt work because IOS36 needed patching.
So I went to that section.
When I run TBR v1.0 and followed the instruction, at the end i got an error.
The program told me I probably needed a newer version of TBR.
I got the latest version TBR v1.1 and put that on the SD card the same way as instructed on the 1.0 version.
This all went well and I got to complete the program.
Then I went to install PreLoader. This went successfully, and I got a menu.
But when I tried to load HBC from there it gave an error:
"Error autobooting HBC. maybe title not installed?"
So I tried Systemmenu. and I got a wierd looking screen, so I had to reset.
Then I got back into the same PreLoader menu, and I went to Installed File.
This brought me back to the Hackmii installer.I choose the "Install Homebrew Channel" option.
Then I exited. And I came back to the HBC.
Since I wasnt done with all the steps I tried to install cIOS38_rev14
When I run this it gave an error and said I needed latest version, so I got version 15.
When I tried to install here (via network) the downloading went well, the adding contents went well,
but the installing of custom IOS gave the following error:
Instal ERROR! (ret = -1035)
I still cant launch the Wii menu, I am able however to come back to HBC.
How to fix this problem?
soo seems she's bricked her wii but thanks to bootmi yay! \o/ she can still get into HBC
thanks in advance!
