I am also getting an error -2011 during the tbr 36 patch process. If I continue with the steps and attemp to remove stubs, each stub removal fails. If I continue to add the new cios from the wad manager it gives me another -2011 ticket error. I can still run backups from USB but wouldd really like to add new cios for rockband, etc. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

Also getting the error the few people above mentioned. The guide appears wrong.

I am modifying a 4.2u Wii.

The problem is in the "RESTORING THE TRUCHA BUG" section. The steps are incorrect after you choose "downgrade IOS15" and then "load ISO from SD". You don't get an option to "press 1" or "choose IOS36 menu" or to change any settings. None of these options appear while using DOP-IOS Mod. Come on guys.

Thats the link to version 1 (the oldest)
the previous version (before the recent change) is http://completesg.freeforums.org/simplistic-mod-t133.html
well, actually not really, cause I had to reconstruct it myself, but you get the point

it still has the download "codes" (not links), but you should know what to do with those codes to get the links

Okay I found the fact that this guide was wrong/incomplete most annoying. Lucky so far it hasn't caused people to brick. Moderators should remove this guide until fixed. Please.

Longtom1 the link you posted includes several steps that aren't on 2 other guides that I have read. Not sure what to do now.

Here are the steps from this new link that I haven't done yet:

Code:
Run Any Title Deleter DB
Choose IOS 36 and press A.
Go to System Titles and press A.
Select IOS 222 and press A to delete.
Select IOS 223 and press A to delete.
Select IOS 249 and press A to delete.
Select IOS 250 and press A to delete.
*If any IOS listed above is not there, do not worry about it and move along with the guide.

3] Run Custom IOS38 Installer
Choose IOS36 and press A.
Choose WAD install and press A.

4a] Run cIOS 222/223 installer v4
Choose IOS 249 for installation.
Install Custom IOS 202 and select IOS38 merged with IOS60.

4b] Run cIOS 222/223 installer v4
Choose IOS 249 for installation.
Install Custom IOS 222 and select IOS38.

4c] Run cIOS 222/223 installer v4
Choose IOS 249 for installation.
Install Custom IOS 223 and select IOS38 merged with IOS37.

5] Run Wad Manager
When it opens choose use IOS249. (it is probably already set to that)
Press A to leave NAND emulator disabled
Press A to open from SD slot.
Install IOS70-64-v6687 [Patched][FreeTheBug].wad and exit.


Basically what I have done when it came to cIOS is follow the guide that xzxero posted. I plan on installing cIOScorp3.6 at the end to make it simple for the kiddies to load disks:

Code:
Installing cIOS & Patching the System Menu IOS
Run WAD Manager 1.5
Press + on whatever cIOS's you want installed.


I recommend the following for disc loading:
cIOS202[38+60]-v4.wad
cIOS222[38+37]-v4.wad
cIOS223[38]-v4.wad
cIOS249-v14.wad
cIOS250-v14.wad
IOS70-64-v6687[TB+ES_diV+NAND].wad

Whatever you choose, press 1 to install the cIOS's.
Press home to exit.

Right now when I try installing cIOScorp all I get is a black screen and nothing happens. I assume this is happening because I don't have cIOS249?

Thanks much for your help!

use dop-ios using IOS36 if you patched it and follow the rest of the guide

Code:
Proceed to choose IOS36 back on the first menu.
Press A to start the stub removal process.
Press home to head back to the Homebrew Channel.

Installing cIOS & Patching the System Menu IOS
Run WAD Manager 1.5
Press + on whatever cIOS's you want installed.


I recommend the following for disc loading:

Please assure me that i was done everything right !

Recently I modded some wii's of my friends. I'm not sure that the steps where right but all the wii's are working properly even with DVD's backup's.

So there are the steps:
1.Run the bombanner from the sd card and install the hbc and dvdx (no bootmii because I herd that remain in the memory and if you need future warranty interventions it;s visible)
2.TBR (V 1.0 for versions 3.3-3.4 or TBR V1.1 for 4.0-4.1-4.2) and enter without loading any IOS>>>downgrade IOS15>>>exit
3.TBR (V 1.0 for versions 3.3-3.4 or TBR V1.1 for 4.0-4.1-4.2) and choose IOS15>>>>install patched IOS36 with all options ON
4.TBR (V 1.0 for versions 3.3-3.4 or TBR V1.1 for 4.0-4.1-4.2) and choose IOS36>>>>restore IOS15
5.Any Tytle Deleter to ceck IOSs 202;222;223;249;250 and delet it if there was resident in memory
6.Wad Manager 1.5 and install IOSs 202.222.223.249.250 plus Back-up launcher, wiivare, wiiflow and mplayer CE

These are the right steps? The manner I modded those wii's is safe?

Oh i forget to add that in some cases I was using the V4.2 safe frimware updater wich was helped me very mutch in some cases.

Please someone reply to me.

P.S. Excuse my sloppy english.

all looks good but you'll need a IOS70 from the pack if you want to play wiiware from sd card

Sorry man but you lost me. Follow the rest of which guide? The new link or the guide at the start of this thread? This is where it gets really messy and confusing.

Let me repost the exact steps I have done:

- installed bootmii, HBC, and made a NAND backup. (bootmii wouldn't install in boot2 because I assume I am on system menu 4.2?)

Did the following 2 steps from different guides:

Code:
2. Run Trucha Bug restorer. You will see a screen with a lot of text. Wait for the small message to appear at the bottom and press 1. (Don't press it before that!)

2a) Time to downgrade IOS15

* Leave the option at IOS36 and press B (no IOS reload).
* In the next menu, choose Downgrade IOS15.
* It will ask where to load the IOS from, choose Download IOS from NUS (if you follow the Offline guide, choose Load IOS from NUS).

It will go back to the HBC when finished. Run TBR again, wait for the text and press 1.
2b) Change the IOS to IOS15 and press A (NOT B).

* Now go in the IOS36 menu.
* Leave the top option to 36 and change all other things to yes.
* Once you did this, go to Install patched IOS and press A.
* It will again ask where to load the IOS from, so say Download IOS from NUS (if you follow the Offline guide, choose Load IOS from NUS).

It will go back to the HBC again so run TBR, wait for the text and press 1.
2c) Change the IOS back to IOS36 (if its not set to that) and press A.

* This time, choose Restore IOS15.
* If it asks you where to load the IOS from, you should know what to do by now.





CODEInstalling cIOS & Patching the System Menu IOS

Run WAD Manager 1.5

Press + on whatever cIOS's you want installed.
I recommend the following for disc loading:
cIOS202[38+60]-v4.wad
cIOS222[38+37]-v4.wad
cIOS223[38]-v4.wad
cIOS249-v14.wad
cIOS250-v14.wad
IOS70-64-v6687[TB+ES_diV+NAND].wad

Whatever you choose, press 1 to install the cIOS's.
Press home to exit.

- final step is I installed priiloader rev30


Thanks for your assistance. I have never softmodded a 4.2 Wii before (I keep my personal Wii at 3.2u)

I assume that this is the relevant explanation from the README:
QUOTERelies on a vulnerability in boot1 that was fixed mid-2008; if your Wii is newer than this, the HackMii Installer will not allow you to install this form of BootMii

yes but if more people read the readme files that come with apps it'll explain almost everything they'll need to know and they wont have to ask
