Just to make it easier for anyone who wants Infos about the Update and Modchips I try to summarize everything we know here:
- removed by shaunj66 -
*******
Following Disc Dont work anymore:
original Action Replay for WII v1.14b
action replay version 1.05 NTSC does not work on a NTSC wii
action replay version 1.14b PAL does not boot on a PAL Wii directly or with gcos
freeloader version 1.06b PAL also does not work on a PAL wii
WIIKEY Setup Disc -> New version released!!! Working now!
Cyclowiz Update Disc
SD Media Launcher (not confirmed)
WiiFree update disc
[/b]
NEW: There is a homebrew disc maker for 3.0 See here:
http://psx-scene.com/forums/nintendo-wii-n...g-bootdisk.html
From Kotaku Comments:
-there are reports that the update "detects" the WiiKey setup disc, and prevents it from running. a modder from Australia has confirmed this on 4 different consoles. everything else works, and even lets you load the WiiKey disc, but it displays an error as soon as you launch it from the menu.
nintendo can't detect hardware that's been added to the wii, so they flagged the setup disc via firmware update. the WiiKey disc name would be the same all over the world.
- It's seems that the WIIKEY and the WIIFREE Setup Disc are also not working, but someone found this:

4. Future Updates:
After you updated to 3.0 if you click on update there is a Message that tells you that the update may brick ur modded WII.
But no new Update (3.3 some claim) is confirmed yet!!!
PLEASE JUST WRITE IN THIS THREAD TO CONFIRM OTHER CONFIGS:
PAL/NTSC - (if known CHipset) - Modchip - Older Firmware Number - Working/not working, Backups, Wiiconnect, Setup discs!
Edit: Just now saw the Virus warning, I live in a different TimeZone, so i was sleeping
Updated the Faq with any new Infos I could find!
Cheers
QUOTE said:Update Features
Channels:
-Digital Clock added to the Wii Menu right under the channel bar
-Forecast Channel now displays the current condition (cloudy, raining, etc.) directly in the Wii Menu in the Forecast Channel box
-News Channel can now show 2 scrolling headlines at a time in the Wii Menu, 3 when you click on the button
-Message Board now has the “Today’s Accomplishments” message as a white message which allows it to stand out from other messages
-Address Book entries can now be shifted around using A+B but only to empty spaces. Not too convenient.
-Calendar in Message Board no longer shows “Today’s Accomplishment” only days as having messages
-Scrolling messages in the Message Board now uses a different sound
Wii Shop Channel Overhauled (Visual aesthetic is the same, changes made to organization and browsing methods mostly)

1. Confirmed working
Chips working:
WIIkey Pal/NTSC
WIInja V1,V2, Deluxe
WiiFree 2.45
Cyclowiz 3.0 3.5
YAOSM 1.7
CHiip 0.91 Edit5 working 1 not working)
OpenWii 2.2 - 4 working and 1 guy claims 2.2b doesnt work, more infos at openwii.org
Someone confirmed 2.2b but with removing the chip before the update
Edit: WiiD NTSC and PAL working!
Edit: WIIMod works!!
To Sum up: Currently no Problems with the Update, there are some story of "bricks" but most are not proven, so it's pretty save to update. If you are doubfull, wait a week, to see how it turns out!
- I updated my Wii (NTSC-U, DMS) with OpenWii 2.2B, but removed the chip from it's socket prior to updating. Everything works perfectly (including games).
- No problems with a PAL wii with Wiinja deluxe
- Everything works like before, so Wiinja v1 confirmed working. (suprise suprise..)-
- NTSC US Wii, Wiinja V2. updated to V3. and all runs fine no problems. backups and weather, shop etc
- I've tried a few games from RE4, CoD3, Prince of Persia, Mario Striker Charged, all load fines with WiiKey on 3.0U. I've yet to try online play.
- Updated my Wii (purchased on release day) to 3.0U with WiiKey installed with wires. No problems, No warning screen.
To clarify, I went to the settings to update it.
-Updated to 3.0E and no warning screen, i've got a wiifree/yaosm.
-well updated my europe wii, now 3.0E. Didnt have this message, with "be carefull". Everything is fine hereCycloWiz User
- Just updated my PAL wii to 3.0E, no further updates were available, but when going to settings -> system update
I recieved the warning message about modchips I tried a couple of discs too, Wiikey = not working, ssx blur = working
- US Wii with Wiinja Deluxe Tested one Gamecube backup, one Wii backup; both work
-Hmm, updated cause I wanted to connect to the Shop channel. Wii was previously 2.2E with both US and JP Super Paper Mario "updates" run. Chip is a homemade Chiip 0.9.1. Internet disconnected once during the update, but I just turned off and on and it resumed fine, I think.
Well, it seems to work fine. Wii recognized PAL-backup of "The Godfather" (didn't try to play though) and currently runs backup US-Pokémon Battle Revolution patched to PAL and Update remove'd. Tried the Shop channel too, worked fine. Only thing that was strange was when I was in the main menu of the Wii, PBR inserted, and went away for about a minute to get new batteries for my Wiimote. When I returned, the Wii displayed a message stating that the "Wii System files are corrupted." No idea what that means, I just turned off and on again and it works fine (as I said, it's currently running PBR).
-i just updated my wii at first it gave me an error(didn't recognize Mario strikers)
but after i restarted my wii everything worked
also i have a cyclowiz v3.5
BTW i have a problem with Mario strikers (when i add FCs i cant connect to them (i can play ranked matches ) )
-Im running a Wiikey, updated, and everythings fine.
-PAL DMS with Chiip 0.9.1
After the 3.0 update wii backups did not work.
Updated the Chiip to use Openwii 2.2 and all is good again.
Online:
- I just played online with a version 3 pal wii, no booting out of the game. Looks like its safe.
- i have a problem with Mario strikers (when i add FCs i cant connect to them (i can play ranked matches ) )
- Played a game of Strikers online with the 3.0U for whoever was asking. Then it dropped, I bet that it's just Nintendo's servers getting slammed from the update traffic.
2. Possible Brick
a) Not Confirmed:
2 Guy's on the Maxconsoleforum (they are from Thailand and have US Consoles) say they can't be in the MainMenu for more than 2 seconds or it crashes!
-> US COnsole with WIIKEY
b) This is not confirmed yet, very unlikely cause he/she doesnt post anymore, just once, we think it is false:
PAL DMS Wii with Openwii 2.2b, and now NO discs are working - not even retail ones.
c) There seem to be some Japan and US Consoles which stopped working:
Wii Japan 2.2J + Wiikey update to 3.0J

3. Problems
Edit: THE DISC CLAIMED TO BE NEW WIIKEY SETUP WORKING WITH 3.0 Update CONTAINS A VIRUS!!!
QUOTEOfficial Statement:
nfo from Wiikey.cn concerning firmware 3 and bricking
[07.08.08] Wii firmware 3.0 issues
Nintendo has released firmware 3.0 via online updates. It will NOT brick or disable Wiikey; however, base and config discs will not load 'natively', neither will any other GC disc with El Torito standard header format. WiiNewz have reported that there are already tools available for building bootable config and setup discs, as well as other discs with applications and emulators. We are currently researching why the El Torito format no longer works. Once this is completed new versions of the config and base system disc will be made available.
