I had preloader blocking updates and it never worked, I did both skip update on and off and nothing changed.AquaGod said:Hey thanks alot! But do you have a link that you can give me that I can download the Neogamma r9 and the cIOS update?
(I'm running a back-up btw)
Go to the "Wii Discussions > Backup Loaders Section" and you'll see the NeoGamma thread there..!!
antispam246 said:Hi, brand new here
Awhile ago I came across this GUIDE. After reading, I decided to turn it into a new project, I want to do this. We have a wii already and I set about researching further. That lead me to here, this forum seems to have a wealth of useful information. However, adept as I'd like to think I am, at times, I feel incredibly overwhelmed by it all.
I've read through the stickies and other threads and other info elsewhere and I feel I'm now ready to start asking the noob questions to get me on the way.
Basically, I want to do exactly what is in that guide I posted. I want to be able to rip my games to an external HDD and play them from there without the need to keep changing discs. i'm fairly certain that's what that guide is for ultimately. However, I'm very thorough and I know it's never that straight forward. So I have various questions and will definately have alot more as this progresses.
After researching I found there is no viable way to completely transfer your data from one wii to another, I didn't want to risk my original wii and it's data as it's a family console. I bought another wii.
Serial starts LEH and the firmware on it is v3.3E. I figure this won't cause any problems as I can always move forwards or backwards. I'm just not entirely sure where to start from.
Ok so with all that in mind, here are my questions.
1) I like to always play safe , I noticed there are a few methods of making your wii unbrickable (reportedly). Would it be safe for me to start here? Before I go into the depths of the above guide, should I follow one of the methods to make my wii solid? Which method is best recommended?
2) With the guide above and the first question in mind, how does my current firmware leave me? Should I be looking to downgrade or upgrade or leave it as it is?
3) In the guide I won't to follow posted above, is it in anyway outdated? It was written in April i believe, but would anyone here say it's outdated or is there a better method to reach want i want to achieve? Is any of the software required for this outdated and would it be ok to simply substitute the latest version of any outdated software into that guide?
4) By doing what I want to achieve, what will I no longer be able to do as normal on my wii? This refers to things like system updates and channels? Can I still purchase from the shopping channel (I've skimmed some problems with this). What if i update my system firmware when it's been hacked to perform the above operations? Will this cause problems?
I think that's all for now. I'm literally ready and set up to go and will be proceeding with this as soon as I get responses. My new wii is turned on and functioning, to repeat it's currently firmware 3.3E. I'm going to setup the wireless right now and then disable the wii connect 24. After that, well that's on your recommendation
Any help appreciated, I'm sure to become an avid fan of this site.
EDIT: Ok, so I need to install the Homebrew channel before anything else, I have the guide infront of me. My question covers this and any update. Should I upgrade my firmware to 4.0 (latest?) or leave it as it is 3.3E or should I be using another firmware. What's the all round ideal firmware to use with everything above in mind?
1) Well to do anything that is post here, you need to start by installing the HBC (Homebrew Channel) and BootMii as boot2 if possible, after that do a Backup of your NAND and that is what is going to give you the safety fallback to go back to this point
2) Well if you can install bootmii as boot2 then you can downgrade to 3.2 and install preloader to enable certain hacks (not very usefull now hence USB Loaders tho), if boot2 is repaired by Nintendo and you can't install bootmii there, then go to 4.0 and install preloader, NOTE: before down/upgrading, make sure you install any Waninkoko's cIOS, the Firmware Downgrader (tool to go up or down) needs it
3) I refuse to read a guidebut to use any USB loader you only need to install a cIOS, have a HDD (duh) and a SD card, the files needed can/can't be outdated, but you really want cIOS_r9/r10 if not USB instruments for Rockband are going to be used, and cIOS_13/r13b if they are, depending on the cIOS installed, your HDD has to be connected in the upper or lower USB slot
, and to have the latest revision of certain USB loader just go to the Loaders section and grab the latest compiled loader of your choice
4) There are no problems found as of today by updating thru Wii's Settings, and you centainly need to update to have acces to the WiiShop channel, but as in the iPhone, "there's an app for that too" (hope no one charges me for using that phrase) is called WiiSCU (Wii Shop Channel Updater) and it will install the latest WiiShop in your Wii, without the need to upgrade the entire SysMenu, and no one recomends to update cause if by god's willing "N" block the IOS where the cIOS is (IOS249), then all the apps hanging from that IOS would become unusable (USB/SD/DVD backup loaders, up/downgraders, etc etc etc...)

I don't have cioscorp, and rebooting with hooks never worked either.
I did try usbloadergx after this with an old 80GB hard drive I found, and the game works perfectly so it was the dvds, thank you for your help!
I've never had a problem with the dvds though damn wii.
Oh well.
Figured I'd reply to show the next person with a similar problem what worked for me. Thanks again.
titiln said:hey i'm going to try and keep this short and simple:
i'm on a 4.0u (updated through nintendo) launch wii with the wiikey modchip and homebrew channel installed. i did what this guide said in order to get tueidj's superdumper to work. my wii worked just fine after dumping a couple games, but suddenly it just doesn't read backups anymore. it's like the wiikey isn't there anymore. could the custom ios be conflicting with the modchip? is this supposed to happen? is there a way to revert all the ioses to nintendo's defaults?
any help is much appreciated
The cIOS has nothing to do with your ModChip, doing an official ninty update can give you all the IOSes, but it wont delete your cIOS (wich is good), I am guessing it is your media, or your dumps aren't good at all, I wont read the guide, but did you installed anything else besides the cIOS..??
Is the fakesigning bug the same thing as the Trucha Bug?antispam246 said:Just to update on my progress so far I have successfully,
1) Run the bomberban test
2) Installed bomberban aad1f_v108
3) Installed the hackmii_installer_beta2
4) Installed cIOS36_rev-10
5) Installed WAD-manager v1.4
6) Installed Loader Forwarder Channel (usb-loader) using WAD manager 1.4
7) Copied USB Loader GX 1.0 to my SD card ready to run
So I have my homebrew channel setup and understand the concept of running the apps (.dols) through it.
I understand the usb-loader is basically a shortcut for my usb loader GX 1.0
I tested USB Loader GX 1.0 and it runs
So far everything seems to be working fine with no problems yet
8) Installed WBFS Manager 3.0.1 on my PC
So I'm now about to prep my HDD. I'm going to be trying it with an external 1TB Toshiba HDD. The actual HDD inside is WD WD10EAVS 8MB 5400-7200RPM. I can't find any info on whether it's compatible so I'm just going to try and see what happens.
If there's anything else anyone can suggest, anything at all, be it installing additional things etc.. One thing I'd like to look back on is the Bootmii program or any alternative method for helping with a brick, should it occur.
EDIT: Ok I successfully partioning my HDD, it's recognized in the usb loader GX 1.0. However I have a problem. After unlocking, I went to click + and then clicked "Yes" to rip a game and then received a black screen with white text giving me a "Exception (DSI) occurred!
Any ideas?
EDIT1: Started reading through the incredibly long GX thread and have updated to the latest revision, I'm currently ripping my first game 6 minute left
FINAL EDIT: Everything works!
Tested first ripped game, works perfectly, proceeding to back up all my other games now. What a wonderful program.
Had a problem with running the forwarder but after taking a look in the SD card folder structure I realised it was reading from it's own usb-loader folder and the default .dol was a different loader, so simply moved GX to that folder and hey presto.
Still interested in any tips for a noob. This is day 1 for me so I know there's plenty more to learn.
Well if you are interested to learn then give it a read at wiibrew.org, if you were able to achieve all this by yourself, then I guess you really don't need any other advice but to read read read read read....... !!
ANY cIOS will work on 3.3, the question is: can it be installed just by using the installer..?? or will you need the IOS16 and the Custom Wad Manager to achieve this..??SilverJWii said:

IchigoNoTenshi said:Heh, noob paradise. I feel REALLY inexperienced now. But I probably am.
Anyway, here's my problem;
I just installed Homebrew Channel and DVDx from the HackMii installer package via Bannerbomb. Now, whenever I try to boot HBC, the screen will go black, stay black for a few seconds, then go back to the Wii Menu. Two questions.
1. WTF MATE!!?!
2. What's the problem, and how do I fix it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
You lack of the IOSes 60-61, use bannerbomb to load WiiSCU and let it do its job...!!
I've tried to make heads or tails, so apologies if I'm asking something that's been asked a thousand times before.raiderscrusade said:Hello.
What is the difference between:
THIS GUIDE
And,
THIS OTHER ONE
I was going to use the first one, but after seeing the GBAtemp guide I became confused.
Well one is from yafaze and we have some post about how reading and following a yafaze guide, lead them to the full brick (I WONT READ ANY GUIDE CAUSE I'M TOO LAZY)...!!

I believe you are on FW 3.3v2, 3.4 or 4.0, so you need to have a cIOS installer, but I'm not sure if Wad Installer use it, so better to found and use Wad Manager 1.4...!!

I've got a 3.3U Wii with Wiikey1 installed. I have the Homebrew channel installed (to access Virtual Games).
I'd like to play some of the newer games (like Punch Out) and use the USB loader.
The guides that are written are very clear, but I'm not sure whether the audience is softmod users or people with modchips (like the Wiikey).
Should I follow the steps in this guide?:
or is that overkill? Is there a guide for USB Loader as well? Found the site, but didn't find a guide to use.
Any help is *greatly* appreciated.
yeah, i suspected those files shouldn't conflict with modchips whatsoever, but it's just weird. i only did what that guide said (installed cios249 and downgraded a handful of ioses). i also installed rawksd, but i already asked and wiikey users can use it just fine (which is to be expected). i already uninstalled the cios and updated the ioses to the latest nintendo versions (which i was fine with), but the modchip is still not working.ether2802 said:The cIOS has nothing to do with your ModChip, doing an official ninty update can give you all the IOSes, but it wont delete your cIOS (wich is good), I am guessing it is your media, or your dumps aren't good at all, I wont read the guide, but did you installed anything else besides the cIOS..??
