Run Trucha Bug Restorer
Choose IOS15 & press A. (Important)
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Choose IOS36 menu. In there use these settings:

on this step everytime i hit A it code dumps, help?

how many times have you tried?
restart the wii by powering it off to the red light and keep on trying.

Usually install the cios files, tbr if i have to first then use a safe method to update to 4.2, i tried it this way though and about shit bricks here.....

"*Really important stuff here! Do not skip or alter steps in any way!*
IOS70-64-v6687.wad
& System Menu-NUS-v481.wad [NTSC-J = v480; PAL = v482]
Then proceed to install the remaining 36 different IOS files & Shopping Channel-NUS-v18.wad
*End.*"

I was worried about missing one of those 36 IOSs and messing shit up. Also didn't want to accidentally install 6887 again, don't know if that'll mess with anything. Wish there was an easier way to do that. Otherwise this guide is amazing thanks.

I e-mailed "[email protected]" about 5 days ago for the required files, and received nothing.

Anyone point me in the right direction to get them elsewhere?

Thanks.

I get the same problem as someone a few pages previous where I have upgraded my system menu to 4.2e but when I go to data management/channels and then click on the SD card, the screen just freezes. I have noticed that I wtill have homebrew channel installed from when it was system menu 3.4e and 4.1e.

Why is the SD card screen freezing. I have re-formatted the SD card (2gb) and installed the files onto the card again but it still won't load?

Worked that out a short while after posting. Doh. Must read the instructions thoroughly.

Got the files. Thanks a lot guys.

I'm almost there now.
I have a problem though.

I am redoing a Wii that previously had HBC + Neogamma installed.
My friend's kid then accepted a Nintendo System Update. It's now on 4.2.

I have got the HBC and Neogamma installed, but when I put a back up disc in, it says "Error 001 unauthorized device has been detected".

The only thing I couldn't follow on the guide was "Deleting stub ios's" there wasn't any of the listed ones to delete.
Reading again,it seems like it is no longer possible to run back ups from the neogamma channel as before, but only from the SD card?

QUOTEFor playing your disc backups, you should either:
1] Download NeoGamma & set it up on your SD card.
2] Download Softchip & set it up on your SD card.
3] Download cIOSCorp 3.5 for playing games directly through the disc channel. [read the goddamn readme first!]

If so, how do I put Neogamma on the SD card, as what I have is a wad file?

I have LU64 with 3.4U system menu. I had installed CIOS and got the black screen then got LU64.rar that fixed it (installed IOS16.wad and did the same for LU64.wad).
This allowed me to run USB loader.

Can I apply the procedure in the OP to my LU64 although it was previously softmoded? Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

Did you install cIOS v15 by any chance?

I have NeoGamma v7 installed as a channel and when I installed cIOS v15 I got the same 001 error. I then installed cIOS v14 and the error went away.

Also if you don't have the IOS 2xx to delete then dont worry about it. I think you only delete them if you have them already. As they get installed later in the guide.

Im going to install NeoGamma r8 to try and get NSMB working now.

Hope that helps.

It sure did help!

I must be blind, but I can't see where it says to install the Cios v15/14 in the guide.
Added it now, and up and running again.

Thanks all that helped.

Fantastic guide. It worked perfectly for me and it was actually quite simple. I've always been confused about this whole softmodding thing.

j_internet · Nov 29, 2009

Can any one help??

I am new to this as you can see!

Going through the steps I am at 4.2u never had Homebrew / Bootmii till now. I want to go back to 4.1U as my brother updated!!!

All it good on the Midify 4.2 section then
Well running on to some issues. I get to part one of the Trucha Bug and then when I do the 2nd Part "Choose the IOS15 Press A" I get a Exception Stack / Code dump.. Cant get to the Press 1 or IOS36??

Well I am kind of stuck there..

Any help would be great!!!

***************
Update

After rebooting 5 times and retrying like it says I was finally able to get it working!!

All is good!!

Thanks Guys!!!!

Just keep trying, and this is offline install. IDK if it matters because I was online with all of the other installs around the web. I was up for two days. This install tutorial is the only one that matters. Done 15min I have to pinch myself.

Clark Kent · Nov 29, 2009

Thanks!

Retrievil · Nov 29, 2009

Another perfect mod, thanks xzxero.

First time I've done this 4.2 mod on a virgin Wii.

Went off without a hitch.

I have a wii 4.2u, in this guide it says to skip it if you're not on 4.2 yet, but when I read through the update to 4.2 section it says there is a part that requires installing the homebrew channel and bootmii that is needed in part 2 "Modify 4.2" can you set me straight how does my current unmodded wii already have homebrew channel and bootmii on it if I have not updated anything other than the internal 4.2u update direct from Wii?

The first part of that tutorial mentions downgrading... I know the tutorial is probably quite easy after that part but want to make sure I don't miss any early steps or confuse anything. With 4.2u am I really supposed to just go to the 2nd part "Modify 4.2" ? Really?

Click to expand...

Will this get answered or is it considered a stupid question?
Based on how the texts are worded, I don't think this is out of line.... it's not really explained either.

I'm being thorough.

If you are on 4.2U then u just skip to the "Modify 4.2" as the homebrew channel and bootmii have to be reinstalled to dodge upside down homebrew channels etc. The guide only works on 4.2 wii's thats why the update is there so if your on 4.2 then u dont have to update.

Posts merged

@xzxero =P. The guide updates to 4.2 then tells u to install cioscorp v3.5 but the readme of cioscorp says to install corp then update ^.^ contradictions are for the lose. Althought i think ill wait for scioscore before i install something like that anyways.

Was upgrading from 3.x (don't even remember now.. 3.2?) and once I got up to the Modify 4.2 part, it fails to install the homebrew channel.
