oh



well i feel like an idiot, ima go do that now but i do still wonder what the issue is, anyway if anyone has an answer please help but otherwise thanks

Hi,
i just tried modding a wii for the first time.
that happened to me too (black screen & no response trying to use Letterbomb)
the answer was to use a different SD card. A Sandisk 32gb worked but a Lexar 32gb did not.
My clock was right and my MAC address was right for sure, i literally just had to try with a different SD card.

AFAIR a SD-CARD with FAT16 is needed, not SDHC or SDXC.

WRONG, FAT32 is what you need not FAT16.
For each SD card i tried I used RUFUS to format each of my SD cards as "Large FAT32" with MBR style partition and then copied over the contents of the ModMii generated folder.
And Sandisk 32GB SDHC is what's in there now + also what I modded it with.

AFAIR a SD-CARD with FAT16 is needed, not SDHC or SDXC.

I have a Wii with 4.3 firmware, but I can't connect to the wi-fi network, so after I change the numbers under Auto-Obtain DNS, im kinda stuck. Is there any way to go about this?

 

[XFlak]

Use one of the other exploits available to you, or use a hotspot or a dif wifi, or a usb/ethernet adapter

You can use your smartphone to create a hotspot with no password and connect to that. You will need to use your smartphone phone company Internet however.

That was on the very early stages of the console, the console Had SDHC support for years now and FAT32 is the best format for the console SD

if you happen to have an old wifi router around this is what solved it for me, i was about to buy a LAN adapter when i tried plugging in some very old router i had and it worked. My normal wifi is too new for the wii, it would connect but have a really hard time staying connected.

FYI ModMii now updates the version of WiiPy bundled with ModMii 8.0.0-8.0.3 automatically during update checks to fix the emunand title installation issues. First post updated accordingly as well.

Is Custom Ios installer necessary for USB Loader GX? Seems like I'm getting an error message when I'm, trying to install Ios Installer.

 

[XFlak]

You're referring to d2x cios installer? Modmii installs cios's using wads, so there's no need to also run the wii app cios installer

If you're not sure if u have cios installed already, post a syscheck

Hey, i tried modding my Wii for the first time.
I formatted my 128 GB to FAT32 (no quick format) and followed the steps in ModMii.
When i boot the Wii with the SD-card i see the letter in the letterbox, but when i click on it it just restarts the Wii and i see my normal channels. What can I do? Thanks for the help!

check your wii date and time, be sure you copied all files to the root of the sd card.

 

[XFlak]

U can also try a dif sd or reformatting the sd card, or using a dif exploit all together, like str2hax, which would be listed as an alternative exploit in your custom modmii guide

Thanks for the responses. I feel stupid as sh*t xD
The Write Protection was activated at the SD-Card adapter. After changing that everything worked just fine.
