Hacking -1017?

[PeregrinFig]

I did try searching before posting, and found nothing about this error code.

I decided to try softmodding my Wii again so I could run WADs, but decided while I'm at it I'd install cIOS 202 so I could load GBA and SNES ROMs off a DVD. First, I followed this guide to restore the Trucha bug, and everything appeared to work perfectly. I successfully installed IOS 249 and 250 with this guide after that. Then I used this guide to try installing cIOS 202. I used 249 to install, and selected base IOS 60. It started to download, but then stopped, and gave me a red error message saying "ES_Decrypted error ret: -1017" (or something very close to that), then another red error further down saying "bad hash". I then tried installing with 250, and got the same result. Then I tried using a different base IOS and got -1017 again. Finally, I attempted to install 222 and got the exact same message. Should I try installing with 36, since 249 is a Waninkoko IOS and these are Hermes? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

install the cios wads from this guide instead of running the installers.

Error 1017: IOS Installation error most likely using an old or incorrect IOS, missing an IOS, or the IOS you're trying to install cannot be installed on top of another.

Q. How do I fix this error?
A. Fix it by installing a newer IOS249 than the one you already have (if don't have it, try installing it). If you still get this error, fix it the same way as Error 2011.

Okay, I'm about to install the newer cIOS versions with WAD manager, and I just want to make sure I understand how to do this so I don't screw anything up. Am I right that what I should do is first uninstall 249 and 250, then install them with 36, then 202, 223, 224 and 225 with 249?

 

[dn_angel000]

NO use DOP-Mii 2 uninstall those IOSs then use the respective installers (Hermes v5.1 + cIOSX rev21) 2 install ur cIOSs!!!

 

[PeregrinFig]

DOP-Mii was what I meant I was using for uninstalling. I find it strange that it lists the versions of 249 and 250 that it installed as stubs. Can I just forget about 249/250 and install the Hermes cIOSes with 36?

 

[dn_angel000]

No cause u need the cIOS249 2 install Hermes!!

 

[PeregrinFig]

This is all so confusing >.< I think I finally have it figured out, first use cIOS Installer Xr20b for 249 and 250 with 36, then use 249 for 202, 222, 223, and 224 with Hermes 5.1, then I can install WADs for channels. Is that right?

 

[dn_angel000]

Yup u got it!! lol But u should head 2 FileTrip and search 4 cIOSx rev21b cause there is a specific base u have 2 install 249 on! I think it might b IOS56 but not sure!

 

[PeregrinFig]

I did some Googling and apparently if you plan to install WADs, 38 is recommended for 249. I don't even own an external HDD so I'm not worried about USB loaders. And, 21b doesn't exist on filetrip, 20b is the latest version.

EDIT: Sorry, One last question (I hope): after installing 249, do I need to do the same thing with 250, or does cIOSx automatically install both?

 

[dn_angel000]

No u have 2 install both seperately!

 

[PeregrinFig]

Ok, then I have two follow-up questions: do I install 250 with 249 or 36 again, and do I use the same base for both? Btw thanks for all the help you've already given me.

Get the cios wads from this guide (cIOS249 250 222 223 224) and install with a wad manager.

 

[dn_angel000]

That guide Riley posted has all the answers 4 u and No prob!! lol

 

[PeregrinFig]

I was going to use that guide to begin with but you specifically told me not to use WAD Manager o.O So far installing through WADs is going smoothly.

EDIT2: Nevermind if you saw the first edit.

 

[dn_angel000]

Ya as in not 2 install cIOSs over STUBBED ones!! lol That's y I mentioned DOP-Mii so u can uninstall 'em 1st!! lol

 

[PeregrinFig]

I did research enough to know I had to delete stubs before installing, and used DOP-Mii for that. I'm trying pretty hard to avoid a brick, even though I do have BootMii with a NAND backup.

 

[dn_angel000]

Awesome! lol

 

[PeregrinFig]

Well all this fiddling with IOSes and wasting time with installers finally paid off, I got a channel WAD installed without bricking my Wii

Thanks, both of you, I'd be stuck still without all the help.

 

[dn_angel000]

O ya another crisis adverted!
