Hacking ULTIMATE System Menu 4.0 Guide

dazzi · Apr 4, 2009

Hey guys I really need some help now been struggling with this for many hours and im on the verge of skipping step 2 (Install 3.2) Firstly I already have 3.2E, but when i try to downgrade with CIOS downgrader 1.2 it just stays on Initialazing Network.. Please wait and nothing changes then when i push some buttons on the controler as its doing it comes up with a code dump screen saying exception (DSI) occured!.
So i thought id give a for any region changer, everything goes fine but then at the end i start getting errors which then go back to any region changers menu and at the top in red it states "Area/Sys menu region mistmatch or something but i have tried both Europe and Australia and im 100% sure both of those should be working. Please guys?

I had the exact same problem dazzi, starting from step 2 (downgrader) the downgrader and every other program would crash with "exception (DSI)"
The problem occurs after installing "Custom IOS Installer (v36 rev 09)"
I managed to install everything by removing the CIOS v36 rev09 using the tools needed to install Backup Launcher Gamma, which fixed the other waninkoko programs crashing. since CIOS seemed to be the problem, I started from scratch following this order:

1 - CIOS downgrader
2 - firmware updater 4.0
3 - IOS60 updater
4 - preloader 0.29
5 - CIOS Custom Installer Rev9

Everything went well and is working as expected, except I get the "exception (DSI)" error if I use the downgrader. this is only a minor problem since to fix this and downgrade at a later time I can always remove CIOS rev9.

I suspect when CIOS v36 rev9 is installed it prevents the homebrew programs to connect to the "network card" of the Wii, because it messes with USB.
I use the official LAN adapter (ethernet/USB adapter), are you using the LAN adapter too?

Zorglub I forgot what app i can downgrade V9 with :S?

dazzi · Apr 4, 2009

Ok so i remove the cios using any tittle deleter a reply would be nice so i can assure im doing the right thing?

if i only use
http://www.teknoconsolas.tv/wanin/Firmware-Updater_4.0.zip
will my wii be on 4.0 with HBC, but none of that softchip stuff (i have a modchip)

zorglub07 · Apr 4, 2009

I was testing on the Wii, it takes time.

What fixed it was using Wad Manager 1.3 to install "CIOS_fix.wad", both are part of the tools needed to install Backup Launcher Gamma, you can find them on google, and probably in some installation packs for the Backup Launcher Gamma. after installing CIOS_fix the downgrader should work, so you can resume the steps from there, finishing with CIOSCustomInstallerRev9.
I hope it works out for you and that it can help others in the same situation as a temporary solution before a real fix...

Oh

I got rid of Cios36 from any title deleter and now i cant install it through twiligh hack i get an error.

zorglub07 · Apr 4, 2009

Do you still have access to the Homebrew Channel? if so you don't need to use the Twilight Hack to instal CIOS36 you can use WadManager to install an old CIOS36 wad and that should do it.

dazzi · Apr 4, 2009

No no access when i click it it loads then just goes back to wii menu like i did nothing.

zorglub07 · Apr 4, 2009

At this point I would try reinstalling the HomeBrew Channel from Zelda TP/Twilight Hack, or from the HomeBrew Channel installation dvd if you have a modchip. If you haven't updated to 4.0 yet it should work.

dazzi · Apr 4, 2009

Thanks Zorglub it worked great and so did using cios fix wad but i guess its not my wii without constant issues

, now the issue is that Waninkoko's firmware 4.0 downloads everything fine then gets up to DOwnloading wii system menu 4.0E and it gets an error there and just says push any key to restart wii its really annoying this far in anyone got any idea how to fix this issue up?

oligore · Apr 4, 2009

I've run the 4.0 updater successfully but I can't get the IOS60 updater to load over the network in the homebrew channel (wii SD slot is stuffed). What does the installer in step 4 do exactly, do I need it and is there some other program that will do the same?
EDIT: it enables channels from SD only so there is no point

dajavax · Apr 4, 2009

Strangely it worked on my wii but when I did it on my friend's, after the Waninoko's Updater, I get the: "The system files are corrupted. Please refer to the Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting." With his Starfall not working anymore, so I guess it's bricked. Or do you guys know of some way to solve it? I guess it was just bad luck, but still, beware.

Jay84Jay · Apr 4, 2009

Hey guys just a heads up

Code:

3) Run the 4.0 Updater

4) Run the IOS60 updater
say NO to install IOS61
say YES to install IOS60
say YES to patch IOS60
say NO to install the shop channel

shouldnt it be "run the ios60 updater" THEN "run the 4.0 updater"

because wanikoko's updater doesn't verify ios60 is installed before installing system menu 4.0

so if something goes wrong with the ios60 download, you get a brick

me and zborg from irc were talking about it..

EDIT - You could do step 4 then 3 then 4 again (doing step 4 before 3 acts as a safety precaution) then run 4 one more time.

So i think i messed up. My wii updated to 4.0, but i didn't have any cios installed first. I have the homebrew channel installed though and a wiikey. What I'm asking here is whether I can still install a Cios or downgrade now?

Please help me out here!

if you updated using wanikoko's updater, you might be able to use a wadmanager based off of ios16 (as ios16 is still vulnerable)
