Hi all,

I just purchased a 2nd hand Wii model: RVL-001(UAE) and I am looking for some advice on this matter, I have done loads of research this past week on reddit / youtube / google.... and before I begin, I would like some confirmation that I am on the right path.

  • Is the below link the most up to date guide on getting the HBC and backing up the nand via BootMii?

    (Just realized that I cant paste links because I am a new member, anyways the link I was referring to is the Complete Softmod Guide)
  • If so, my next concern is that the Wii's firmware version 3.1U and as mentioned before, it is a Wii model RVL-001(UAE).
    I would like to update it to 4.3U.
    I am aware of the Korea .003 brick and I am worried that I may brick this Wii on the off-chance that it is a repackaged Korean Wii in another enclosure (I have seen people online mention this).

    My question is: on firmware version 3.1U, can I install HBC and do the Nand backup before updating as a security measure in case it gets bricked?

    If not, What are my other options for backing up before updating to version 4.3U?


Thanks for any help that I can get!

Hello and welcome to GBAtemp.
  • The easiest method is just using ModMii. It will ask you a bunch of questions, download everything you need and prepare a guide for you.
  • The "Wilbrand" Exploit works for System Menu starting with 3.0 up to the latest version 4.3. So: Yes, you can install the HBC (and BootMii for NAND backups) before updating (which is done automatically on some point of ModMii).
  • A Wii modded with ModMii will not get a "003 brick"
Next time better ask your question(s) in the Wii - Hacking subforum. You will get more and faster replies. Simple questions go to the NOOB PARADISE.
