Hello!!!(1) How do I know I installed BootMii as boot2 and IOS ? I want to make sure I installed them....(kinda obsessive)
(2) Also, How do I make sure I installed the Priiloader ? if the Priiloader menu shows up when you turn on the console, then it means I installed it correctly ?
About priiloader, If you turn your Wii on while pressing reset button and it boots to priiloader before loading System menu, It is correctly installed and can act as a recovery tool right away. You can also try to enable some system menu hacks to verify that it's working correctly.(1) How do I know I installed BootMii as boot2 and IOS ?

Use any exploit for your Wii's version (ex. for 4.3 version of Wii, use LetterBomb, str2hax, or FlashHax)
Once applied the exploit, it will open the Homebrew Channel / BootMii installer.
When you open the installer, wait some seconds until the "Press 1 to continue" message appears. When the "Press 1 to continue" message appears, press 1 button. You will see if the Homebrew Channel and BootMii are installed, as boot2 and/or as an IOS.
bootmii IOS is reported in Syscheck logs as IOS254
if you have bootmii as boot2 installed, it will launch at startup when an sd card with bootmii is inserted in the console
You need an SD card to either check if it boots with Boot2 BootMii, or to run a Syscheck.Is there an easier way to figure out ? Right now I don't have a spare SD card and I have no idea where to check the logs...
Don't worry for that, we are always lurking around to help you herestick around though for when I post the logs...
Yes, you can ask to us and all of GBAtemp if you want to tell us about your questions about Wii hacking, scene, and more!Don't worry for that, we are always lurking around to help you here
Good luck!
Answers:Ok, So please confirm/answer the following questions/statements:
(1) This picture proves that BootMii is installed as boot2.?
(2) This paste proves that Priiloader and BootMii are installed as IOS:? https://pastebin.com/RGZR0Uvc
(3) Is it ok to install BootMii both as boot2 and IOS ?
(4) This picture proves that "Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!" was ticked when I downloaded the LetterBomb exploit on https://please.hackmii.com/ ? The picture is the page that shows up right after running the LetterBomb exploit...
(5) Before exploiting, I made sure that the System Menu Version was 4.3U, but I don't fully remember...Right now it is 4.3U, Does this mean that it was 4.3U before the exploit ? Can the system version menu be upgraded during the softmodding ?
(6) During the BootMii Backup step, as can be seen here, After NAND backup was completed, I skipped the verification step by pressing Eject, Is there a way to verify the NAND backup again ?
Please answer thoroughly ...
Many Thanks

Thanks Alex for making it more understandable for @L3gi0n0fh311. Thank you for this contribution!!!!Hello.
2nd Proof/Verification.
1.Not really a Proof,you can also start BootMii (IOS) from the Homebrew Channel
(press "HOME" on the Wii Motion Controller) if it is installed as IOS.
As @XFlak already explained,with the BootMi Files on the SD Card,the Wii should boot into the BootMii UI.
2. It only confirms it is installed as IOS (254) as @XFlak already said.
3.Yes
4.Yes.
5.Letterbomb only works with System Version 4.3x
6.Yes,with the Tool "nandBinCheck".
Thank you.

5.Letterbomb only works with System Version 4.3x
(6) It cannot be verified again but for ensure that your NAND backup is fully verified for your Wii, you MUST delete your old backup and create a new NAND backup with BootMii but DON'T SKIP ANY STEP of the NAND backuping and verifying.
6.Yes,with the Tool "nandBinCheck".
Hi!I get that picture at boot when I turn my Wii on ... this means it is installed as boot2 ?
You mean if my version was 4.2U then the LetterBomb exploit wouldn't succeed ?
Should I remove the nand backup and back it up again but this time make sure the verification step is done ? if so how to ?
One last re-confirmation(since I am obsessive a bit), The LetterBomb exploit only works with System Version Menu 4.3...yes or no ?
What happens if you try to use LetterBomb on a Wii with System Version Menu 4.2 ?
Also, what happens if I dont delete nand.bin ? and just do a backup ? will it get overwritten ?
Many thanks to you all...
