Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

Patrick444 · Jun 19, 2010

I tried a few options in Config usb loader but no luck. I cant even get the external wbfs drive to mount. I have used it before on an older wii of mine and it worked (My 1st Wii broke

). I'm just trying to get gamma to mount the drive first.

I fixed the pal thing with cfg, sorry for the trouble. Thanks anyway Riley for taking the time to care.

Thanks so much for such an easy guide! Quick question, I'll obviously want to make sure to keep up with the latest and most compatible cIOS and whatnot, how would I go about finding this information out and installing it? Thanks~

Hi I am completely new to all this and had a few questions. I just got a brand new black wii and updated it to Version 4.2U will this guide work for that? It says 4.2 in the title does the letter matter?

Are there any major risks to doing this as far as bricking my Wii?

Thanks.

Patrick444 · Jun 20, 2010

Yes you can darkhunter, I just did this with a new Black Wii

Read the Wii Hacking forum regularly, someone usually makes a new post when a new cIOS is about to be released.

Yes it will work.

Any unauthorised software carries the risk of bricking your Wii, but this guide has been used by thousands and thousands of people, and as long as you follow the guide to the letter, you'll be safe.

hi i have thanked god for finding this post.
And i will definitely follow this guide once i acquire the files.

I just needs some clarifications though. I have been modding psps since it darkalex's time and mind you modding a wii is way too much different. so here s what i need to clarify

*i aquired a modified japan wii with hbc bootmii usbloader mplayer on it but my ubber sister updated it to 4.2j
*bootmii still works (i tried running bet never went on changing its settings)
*mplayer works (watched several movies using a usb drive)
*usbloader failed to work i said it needs cios??

*im going to follow this guide from root to top (how will it affect the previous modification?)
*whats the best way to get an unrecoverable brick?? (wanted to avoid that)
*will i be able to change the region and language settings after i apply this mod?? or even just change the laguage and not the region?? if i can can you shoot me a link to that guide?

I really appreciate every help.

P.S. i work in a very big software company (mcrsft)

and to all contributors i would give a very nifty hack that would save you dollars.

Just start over with the guide, it'll overwrite whatever was done before.

As for region changing, you can do that with AnyRegion Changer, though that is a VERY dangerous app to use.

There is no way to have a "perfect" unbrickable wii. The closest you'll get is installing BootMii as Boot2, but that doesn't work on newer Wiis.

Try delete the private folder off your sd card.

TYVM i lost all my channels saved on my sd card, but at least its not hanging my sysmenu anymore.

QUOTE(bigboss50 @ Jun 19 2010, 01:41 PM) Hi guys I followed this guide a long time ago and after Nintendo's E3 I thought it was time to dust off the wii. I've gone back to it and found that someone downloaded some wii channels like BBC iplayer and some other everyone votes type stuff. However when I check the system info its still at 4.2 and has the Homebrew channel still installed, what I wanted to know is if all the stuff that I did earlier such as putting on the IOS and stuff are still intact and can I still use the usb loader and other apps or do I have to put all the IOS files on the wii again?
btw I still have the NAND files if that makes any difference and would this hard drive work with USB loading?

Hey, When i e-mailed the bot for all the .zip files (update, modify), I got a cIOS pack, what is that for? -- I'm sorry I'm such a n00b at soft-modding >.

burritoboy9984 · Jun 22, 2010

Plaston, check this out and make sure you are trying to run the game with the correct settings.

nitrodude, the cios pack is in case you want to install different cios's in different slots other than the default... For the basics, you don't really need to worry about it.

find a program that can format your drive to FAT32 on a MAC
then try using wine software with wii backup manager on your MAC

WeeBabyDoll · Jun 22, 2010

I am looking to re-mod my wii, I have done this tutorial before and am on 4.2 now thanks to it. But to re-mod is it okay to do the whole tutorial, including updating to wipe out the mods I already have?

ByteMunch · Jun 22, 2010

Do NOT update now! Follow the update guide in the first post, updating through nintendo now disables alot of stuff.

Loving the video guides!

Rankio · Jun 22, 2010

I have a 4.2U Wii and when I place the update.zip contents onto an SD card and try to load I just get a question mark. I tried downloading bannerbomb from http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/index.new.php and it would ask me if I wanted to load the file but it would freeze when I did.

Any ideas or suggestions?
