Hacking Priiloader on outdated system

[OcZi]

Goodnight.
I have an outdated wii with Priiloader that works correctly, but I want to update the console to version 4.3u.
Can my console suffer some brick by Priiloader?

my wii was on 4.3 prior to the softmod. now it is on 4.1e. but everything works fine. also wiishop worked for me.

AFAIK reinstalling/updating the system menu wipes priiloader, although make sure to disable update protection if the official update is still live (don't know if it's related to the shop channel).

Anything involving system updates has the potential to brick although I haven't heard of one where priiloader was the cause on the original Wii.

What system menu are you on and do you have bootmii as boot2? AFAIK 4.2/4.3 didn't add anything beneficial which couldn't be done by updating ios files/channels.

Use modmii to install a new system menu and reinstall priiloader

Actually, you can update from Wii Settings just fine even with updates blocked. It just disables Disc Channel updates.

Looking at the list of hacks, there are separate blocks for disc and online updates.

Right you are, I forgot about that. I don't think I ever used Block Online Updates on my own Wii, didn't have much need for it.
