Hacking need some advice

[sudeki300]

i have a PAL wii that is on 3.1 and the person wants me to install uloader as his kids have ruined the dvd drive by sticking objects inside. what is the best way to take it up to 4.2, would it be the official route (if it still is at 4.2) or using the safe firmware updater. i would really like some good advice before i go as step to far. sorry if this question has been posted before but the search bar just brought up error's when trying to search for the question..................sudeki300
