I'm not trying to be offensive at all to you, because I do respect you, but I really see no point in this guide (at least on this forum). This guide finally got it's second page today when it has been here for over a year. Obviously, everyone knows where to go already, why even bother when there are already better things available? Maybe you have multi-million views on your other forum, but here it is obvious that it has been ignored for the obviously better guide. I honestly don't see why you have bothered to update it when you yourself have been the majority of posts in this thread, and obviously there are way better methods.
I'm not trying to be offensive, but blind people can't see the light.
And seriously, the formatting is freaking horrible. Maybe if you did not try soo hard to make it look good then it might actually look better. The text sizing mixed altogether is just crazy on the eyes and it makes it very hard to follow.
I will say it again, I'm not trying to be offensive, but I look at this in the way an end user would, and there is a GOOD reason why this thread has only gotten on it's second page today where as modmii has 312 pages. I mean, stop wasting your effort on this. You are better contributing to 003 brick fixing (and you kinda failed on that by not listening to giantpune a year ago when he had a better way of doing it that he shared with both you and I but you ignored it and your way failed for me to fix a 003 wii but his way worked for me instead).
No offense, but know where you are good at and stick to it.
I may be good on the hardware side of things, but I fail at the software stuff, and since I know I fail at the software stuff I will never bother trying it and allow myself to become a mockery of my fail...like this thread. No offense, but fact is fact.
I only ever wrote a softmod guide for one reason, to stop people from bricking their wiis and to provide them with the means to recover from any fixable brick.
These would include
-mandatory nand.bin backup or nand key extract
-ios60-6174 patched into all old system ios slots
-system ios patched with trucha, dip- corp on all system ios
-savegame exploits installed
-priiloader installed (no abhprot to avoid bricks)
-backup HBC installed to prevent removal from update
-ios60-6174 installed to slot 70, 80, 90 to prevent 003 bricks
-a proper region change if desired
-a proper downgrade
-system menu version patched to elevated version preventing update
-shop channel version patched
-system ios version patched
-mandatory user md5 verification of all wad on sd:\
-continued recommendation to "never ever update a wii"
All of this was done to help people, to stop them from doing stupid shit to their wiis which was at a time all to common.
All of this was done prior to any implementation of modmii doing the same, single point above
Also I will point that my guide was the first anywhere to mod a 4.3 wii, two weeks prior to wiicrazy's release. Damysteryman would know, he is the know that told me of the korean ios exploit, two weeks prior to its release by wiicrazy.
I may be no artist if text format, my the methods in my guide are sound, proven, and all my own- every bit of it. I suppose that is why it has been stolen by countless knockoff throughout the net, word for word.
Since I only ever wrote this guide to ensure people installed the needed exploits on their wiis to ensure they could recover for any recoverable brick, or had the needed material to have the nand reprogrammed, it is no longer needed. Modmii is great, it has added almost all of the brick protection that my guide offered, enough that I don't need to waist any more of my time maintaining this.
I work full time, have four young kids and I have really been searching for any excuse to drop this project, so I have. That you, I also respect you. Comparing my guide or anything I have ever written to pimp my wii was not necessary, I have most likely helped more people recover from recoverable software bricks then anyone else. My guide has never to my knowledge bricked anymore that two wiis, one from priiloader 0.5 and another form a failed sm wad install via wadmanager, hence the use of MMM and md5 checks.
Also, my guide was the only true Any Wii Softmod solution, not requiring any update from N, supporting pre-launch-4.3.
Any I am done with it, thank you. I will work on your Any Brick FIX guide when I find the time.
