Hacking Bringing my Wii back to life

Prince Valmont · Feb 7, 2010

Ok, small story short: I used to frequent this board, use to mod my wii way back when. But since August, I've strayed away and I want to get it back to tip top hacked shape, and I need your help.

First off, here are my current specs:

Firmware: 3.2U
HBC: Version 1.0.1 installed
Softmod: cIOSCORP (old old version, which will cause a problem I'm sure)
Preloader v0.28
IOS v30
Sysmenu v289
cIOS38 rev14

Now the first step I tried taking was to update the HBC to v. 1.0.6, which gave me the following message:

HackMii v.0.6
This installer can NOT continue!
"...no known vulnerable IOS installed..."

Upon researching www.hackmii.org, I found out it's most likely caused by my install of an early version of cIOSCORP.

What I want to do is remove this old version of cIOSCORP.
Then I want to update my HBC
Then update my system menu to 4.1 (which I believe causes less problems than 4.2; correct if wrong)
Install a safeguard (like Priiloader & BootMii)
Install the newer, more stable release of cIOSCORP (what are we up to now, 3.6?).

How plausible could this be? I'm sure once I get the hang of things, I'll be a quick learner. The first step I want to do: Remove the old cIOSCORP. How can I go about doing this without bricking my system?

removing cIOSCorp is easy,get the 3.6 version,then install it(or uninstall the old one,not sure if there is an option for this,but find the way to uninstall) then run the Hackmii installer,once you got Bootmii(FIRST!)and everything up,go 4.2 or 4.1,your choice.If your gonna use the System Update,IOS wont be a problem,but if your gonna install the System Menu via WAD Manager,install IOS 70 for 4.2 and 60 for 4.1 first

Sounds fine to me.

I would put your wii online, use dop-ios-mod v11.5 with ios249
Install ios34 without patches, install ios60 with patches
Then run the hackmii installer v0.6 and install HBC, Bootmii as boot2 if you can, ios if you can't, DVDx if you like not sure if it is updated or not.

Then run the cIOSCORP 3x uninstaller
Update to 4.1, use dop-ios-mod or the safe updater, be sure to install ios60 with patches first
Then install cIOSCORP 3.6

After that install priiloader and perhaps cios38-r17

Or if you want to virginize your Wii then re-hack it, just update online to 4.2, then follow one of the many, many tutorials available.

Ok, using dop-ios-mod, I've installed ios249. Now, using the same program, I'm attempting to install ios34 without patches. Under the DOP-IOS menu, I've selected IOS, then scrolled to IOS34 and tried to install the latest v3348 of IOS34, but it's not asking me if I want patches or not. Am I supposed to be using the DOP-IOS to install IOS34 & IOS60? And will I be prompted to install patches or not?

You just deleted your cIOS by installing IOS249 with DOP-IOS MOD. The IOS249 on Nintendo's server is a stub, it doesn't do anything.

That's impossible (or should be anyway). DOP-IOS MOD doesn't let you install stubs...if he really installed it with DOP-IOS MOD, there's a bug that needs squashing.

Prince Valmont · Feb 7, 2010

Well when the program first starts up, it asks me which IOS I would like to use to install other IOSes?, I selected IOS: 249 and then hit A. That's all I did with this program so far.

You told it to run using IOS249, not install it. That's what you're supposed to do.

Yes you are. You should install IOS61 as well. You'll need it for the HBC and the shop channel.

What DOP-IOS are you running? You should use DOP-IOS MOD 11.5.

It should ask about the patches. You should say NO them for IOS34 and IOS61, and YES to them for IOS60. If it doesn't ask, I have no clue why.

Prince Valmont · Feb 7, 2010

It is indeed 11.5.
So to progress forward, I tell it to run under IOS249, then select IOSs, scroll left to select IOS34. Then I have some different options:
(A) Install latest v3348 of IOS34
or
(-)/GV

L): Install old v1039 of IOS34

techboy · Feb 7, 2010

Install the latest version of IOS34 and IOS61.

When you get to IOS60, it's only going to offer the "old" v6174. Just install the v6174.

Prince Valmont · Feb 7, 2010

Alright, techboy, it's working like a dream now.

Another question, and this one is just me being picky.

I installed bootmii as Boot2, but is there anyway to disable it popping up every time I turn on the wii? Just having to get up to the system to push reset each time to load the system menu causes a slight annoyance. There's a way to load it from HBC, isn't there?

FenrirWolf · Feb 7, 2010

Get the bootmii configuration editor from wiibrew. You can use it to skip the bootmii screen or autoboot the system menu or HBC after a few seconds of inaction.

There is, but bootmii needs to also be installed as an IOS for it to work.

To add on to that, even if it is installed as IOS you'll still have it installed as boot2, and you'll still get the BootMii menu at boot.

But, as FenrirWolf said, the bootmii configuration editor is a great tool.

Prince Valmont · Feb 7, 2010

Alright, took your advice, did the configuration tool. Perfect. Thank you.

Prince Valmont · Feb 10, 2010

Now for IOS61. Using DOP-IOS, do I want to install using the FakeSign patch?

techboy · Feb 10, 2010

Don't apply any patches to IOS61.

Doing so on IOS61 can make your HBC appear upside down, and causes issues with the shop channel.

While you're in DOP-IOS MOD, install the latest shop channel as well. Old versions nag you to update when you run them.

Prince Valmont · Feb 10, 2010

Yeah, that's why I went for IOS61. As always, Thanks again for the advice!
