had any errors installing the cIOS?

 

[KiiWii]

Bottom line:

downgrade to 3.2u

use cios corp / softmii etc

sorted.

i agree u gonna have to downgrade to 3.2 my advice is follow the softmii steps to downgrade u could install the whole package but its not required i think the preloader option is cool its like double protection from bricking the wii i would advise you to install anyregion changer from the softmii package being that it incoorperates starfall hacks & also use the cIOSCORP OPTION dont know worked or me after my daughter updated her wii to 3.4u from 3.3u

actually downgrading is not necessarry at all. and neither is softmii
install ios16 with wad manager 1.3. Then install custom ios rev 7 and a backup launcher channel with wad manager ios 16.
and you're done.

Suggest a newbie who can't even tell the difference between IOS36 and IOS249, to install cioscorp? Just great.

Follow the guide in my signture. All the files required are in the download and it is all offline install so internet on the Wii is not required. It's fast and easy, and you'll be up and running in no time. Also, offering rewards isn't necessary. As a comminuty, we try and help everyone, but atleast saying thanks in your own thread might be nice. (Especially after so many people have given you good ideas)

@WiiPower:

Softmii is a piece of piss to install.

The guide is pretty thorough (after the various rewrites).

I meant use the cioscorp installer from softmii (i figured he would find softmii a lot quicker than the original cioscorp releases).

I'm not complaining about the difficulty of the install process. I don't like people like this: "I have a prolem game x.... - What do you have installed - I don't know, something called cisocop???". Cioscorp will solve a lot of problems for some people very fast, but later they can't handle any "piss" problems themselves.

 

[KiiWii]

Lol true.

 

[menage730]

this is a community to help each other going @ each other is not helping while i know what ure talking about kiiwii u forgot 1 thing he is a noob & he needs a more detailed explanation not tha ure comment is wrong & as for softmii its just a package 2 try & fascilitate the process for noobs

Well, cIOScorp modify a LOT of IOS... it's not for newbie, even if the install process is very simple.
cIOS249 + gamma, on the other hand, is more secure.
If something goes wrong, he should simply reinstall cIOS249...

I've started with cIOS249 and THEN, after reading posts and guides, after understanding what cIOScorp does, I've installed cIOScorp.
I think that's better, because this way you understand what you are doing to your Wii.
I've seen a lot of people "uninstalling" cIOScorp or softmii via Wadmanager, obviously BRICKING their wii, only because they had NO IDEA what cIOScorp does.

 

[menage730]

dotter male correct me if im wrong i read that anyregionchanger 1.1bM5 changes cioscorp back to its normal state in the so called guide to make ure wii a virgin which its actually a semi virgin also i noticed that if u use anyregionchanger 1.1bm5 & cioscorp my backups load from the disc channel

That's a correct way to uninstall cIOScorp.

If someone use wadmanager, he will simply delete every IOS on the wii, while using ARC you will overwrite them with their original version. if then you use again cioscorp, you overwrite them again with the modified version, allowing backup loading from the disk channel.

 

[ether2802]

WHAT..??

Any region changer will only re-installs IOS30 and SysMenu, you are not doing your homework dottor_male, if you want to get rid of CIOScorp just run/perform and update.

How do you suggest he do that? All WAD installations are blocked in 3.4, so you can't install an IOS16 WAD.

That's not correct. in 3.4 ALL TRUCHA SIGNED STUFF is blocked, in whatever form it comes, but IOS16 isn't trucha signed.

IOS16 is correctly signed and it contains the trucha bug. So you can install it. Then you use the wad manager pointed to ios16, and install other wads (exploiting the trucha bug). This method works, I've softmodded a 3.4 wii this way.

Well, to my knowledge, ARC reinstall everything... it's stated also in "How to make your Wii virgin again" http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=133557&hl=virgin

Who is wrong? (it's not sarcasm, it a serious question)

 

[computerboy]

I agree with Ether ARC only reinstalls IOS30 and the system menu. On the other hand IOS downgrader downgrades all your IOS to enable the Trucha Bug
