Hello guys,

I've had my Wii for a long time and enjoyed it, mostly because of its softmod. But now I want to sell it. The problem is that i'm scared that the one that will buy my Wii will get problems with the Wii because of updates or something. That's why I want to get rid of the softmod.

My question is now: how? I think I cant do a factory reset because the software won't like that.
I used the letterbomb method and currently I have HBC, USBLoaderGX, mediacenter and a few emulators. Also I've installed some other things like .wad's to get DLC's and shortcuts.

This is the systemlog:

the wii will never get anymore updates lol, its discontinued product, wifi down no more support from nintendo.

i mean you can delete the homebrew channel icon on the main menu easily but yeah most people that buy a wii even want it softmoded so its a plus imo.

Like the above poster said, there won't be any more updates, so you can just make sure it's on the latest firmware before you sell it. Make sure to tell the buyer what they can do with it ;)

Oh, thank you for your comments. But I actually want to remove the softmod so I can reset everything to the factory settings and if they do something wrong it won't get bricked or something.

Why remove the softmod? Ask the buyer if they mind.
If they do, you simply need to run a system update for 4.3 again - it will stub the cIOSes so that they cannot be used, and any replaced IOSes will be factory reset. Get a BootMii NAND dump before you do this all.

If you're worried about brick, think before you fear.
You can even remove HBC in the Wii settings, so they'd have to add it..

I noticed none of the apps worked after removing the SD card and USB but what about the cIOS's?

lol I did an update the other day and it didn't delete anything, maybe because I was on 4.3 already, idk.

You can delete the Homebrew Channel and any other channels or forwarders you installed. I wouldn't remove cIOSs, though. They're not hurting anything and you shouldn't muck about with the NAND needlessly. They won't even be accessed unless the next user deliberately softmods the Wii again.

Alright, thank you guys! I think I'll just ask him if he want the softmod and if he doesn't I'll remove the channels.

Thanks again.
