I'm entering the right numbers for the DNS server, and I my internet test says 8ts working but I get error 52131.

I'm also entering the right numbers for the DNS server and my internet connection is good but I'm getting error 52131

Hello.

I'm entering the right numbers for the DNS server, and I my internet test says 8ts working but I get error 52131.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I'm also entering the right numbers for the DNS server and my internet connection is good but I'm getting error 52131

I tried it too but for me it stays on the Wii Shop/WiiConnect Screen:

6. Back out to the Internet panel and choose User Agreements. Select Yes to the question about the Wii Shop Channel/WiiConnect24.

The Wii Motion Controller works (I can press HOME but no Return possible).
I have tried it 7-8 Times in a Row,I have patiently waited up to 10 Minutes,the Internet connection works,Test passed.

Thank you.

@Fullmetal5 i need help

Hello.

Thank you for this Exploit.
I tried it a moment ago and it still works.

Thank you.

make sure to not have an sd card in the wii, because that will make it not work.

I'm not sure that's true. If I recall correctly it will try to load the payload from the SD card first, if not present, then it will download the hackmii installer.

Just checking up on a few things.

For right now it prioritizes the http loader mainly due to the fact the the DNS resetting code is still in http loader. Unfortunately these are separate stages so the options are either:
A. Port the DNS resetting code into the savezelda minimal environment (with no libogc)
B. Rip out the sd card/usb gecko code out of savezelda and re implement them in the http loader.
I chose to do option A however the final step in resetting the DNS servers is to reload IOS which involved doing ES IPC requests for which I didn't have time to figure out/rip out of libogc to port to savezelda.
I'll look into it more tomorrow and see which option will end up being more complicated but for now sd card/usb gecko loading takes a back seat so that people don't end up with their DNS settings broken and not realize it. (Something I REALLY want to avoid.)

Is there confirmed support for loading sd:\boot.elf first in priority sequence? Or not yet?

It depends on what version of the EULA "app" that firmware has. I'm not sure when they updated the app so I'm not really sure what versions it works on.

Do we know yet the full list of which firmwares this works on?

Hm, you are right, I tried converting a DOL to an ELF, with a few changes to the converter to fix some obviously missing parts, but it still doesn't work for some reason. As soon as all the writeups and code are released and I can recompile and test everything I might try adding DOL support (if there is enough space).

Any hope / space left over for dol support?

Bump
Thx

It's on my to-do-list, somewhere. Together with a bunch of other stuff I wanted to look at. No idea when I'll get to that.

 

[Lewi]

I've waited on the pony screen a few times now with no luck just freezing any ideas guys?

 

[NigelL12]

how do I fix this?

 

[XFlak]

Do u have a working internet connection? Ideally in the first slot and no other connections just in case?

Alternatively, if you have an SD card there are many other offline exploits you can use. Modmii will make that process painless if that's the road u decide to go down

 

[Nisei]

I get passed the pony screen but then the last line of text says "Cleaning up environment..." and it's stuck.
Tried many times now but always the same
Bought this recently and formatted system memory & updated to 4.3E right before trying the mod.

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

Try FlashHax or Letterbomb

 

[MainShane]

It's not showing up the EULA pony screen, instead it shows the actual EULA. Any ideas?

I entered the Auto-DNS, No, correct numbers for both, connection test was successful, no to update, then User Agreement. Wii version 4.3U. No other internet connections setup, the single wireless one works. No SD card inside.

 

[Nisei]

Perhaps your router overrules the DNS entries?
Check you router's setup and enter the DNS addresses there.

 

[Mike2M]

Im kinda having the same thing as MainShane there. Im on the ver 2.2U.

Kind of a noob here and not sure how to do whst Nisei says.

Please help. Thank you.

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

How
The
Fuck
Are
You
Still
In
2.2U

iirc this exploit only works on 4.3 so yeah

 

[Mike2M]

Lol.

Bought it not long after it was released and havent touched it again ever since.
Opened it again recently for my wife to play.

Anyway i updated through the wii updater and installed homebrew channel already.

Thanks.

Hey, I've been trying to self-host this exploit on a rpi3 running hostapd and dnsmasq and the webserver part seems to be working fine but I'm having issues with the payload.

When I try to compile libogc so that I can build the Network Loader for the payload as you said:

You MUST change the Makefile line "include $(DEVKITPPC)/wii_rules" to a location where you have built libogc with -Os.

$ make -Os

I just end up getting errors:

make: *** unknown output-sync type 's'.  Stop.

I'm pretty stuck now as I don't know what to do to be able to build the Network Loader small enough.

I also tried to compile just the elf loader in the 'elf_loader' directory, as that is all that I really need as most of the other files will be on an sd card, but when I try and run the output elf on my Wii tells me that it's not a valid application.

Edit: Solved
