Hacking 3.3 or 4.0

[DrFiishy]

ok so what is the best option here....stay on 3.3v2....or update it to 4.0
yes i already have homebrew and the ios60 and Cios 10 thingy's (is there something missing just tell me)

if your feeling dangerous downgrade to 3.2 (not reccomended) or safe update to 4.0

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

if you're on 3.3 then do this (IT WONT BRICK YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME lol)

have HBC Installed
cIOS_rev9 or higher installed (since you have 10 you're fine)
update via nintendo! (yes, that way no IOS is missed out)
install preloader 0.29 (patches IOS60 for you so you can play unofficial channels through SD Menu)

and if you want backup games through disc channel, install the latest cIOSCORP before you install preloader. and you can also install mios Xi for backup cube games, but you can install that whenever you want

if anyone says it's dangerous they are a n00b.


and could some one just tell me, does downgrader 1.11 not install IOS60 when using it to upgade from a lower firmware?

3.3v2 is a pain because of all that IOS16 crap.

I'm on v1. But I mean.. why do you want to update? I never intend to; I like my system menu as it is, and I can just install the IOS of the new versions. The only reason I'd upgrade is for faster SD writing.

well i saw a guide on yafaze.com/4.0updateguide
and i did followed that guide and came in contact with one of the members in this forum and he told me you dont have to instal preloader and cIOSCORP

EDIT: i forgot to say this but i have a modchip

 

[DrFiishy]

so anyways...preloader and cIOSCORP are only usefull if you dont have a modchip?

cIOSCORP yes, preloader no it's system menu hacks system is very flexible and allows some usefull features for modchip and corp users (mainly region free and blocking updates), and even if your chip supports region free discs, it won't help with channels.

hmm ok but as ive seen on the forum i can instal preloader when im already on 4.0.....correct?

 

[georgecoat]

So if I understand well I need to be sure that I have HomeBrew Channel and CIOS rev7 or higher already installed.
Then install IOS60 (I do not know why) and let Wii do 4.0 update using the internet connection test in the Wii system settings (as an alternative I can use Waninkoko's 4.0 updatater).
I can also install cIOSCORP (I do not know why) and preloader 0.29 (to replace Starfall).
I can run now DVD backups on gamma loader (002fixed) as well as isos from 500GB USB HD through USB loader.
Is the mentioned upgrade to 4.0 any danger to the mentioned current ability to load DVD backups and iso-through-USB backups?

 

[DrFiishy]

dont think its any danger....but hey what do i know xD but about the instal thing i think thats about all you need...

update via nintendo! (yes, that way no IOS is missed out)

You're better off updating with Waninkoko's 4.0 updater. Updating through Nintendo is never recommended, and you will not miss ANYTHING with Waninkoko's tool.

 

[wiiman123]

Im all for 3.2.

4.0 is fine if you upgrade the waninkoko way.

 

[wiistarter]

I went the nintendo way and everything is fine...

No one said that updating through Nintendo means screwing up. But Waninkoko's updater is much, much safer, thus is better suited for our... special interests

 

[DrFiishy]

ive seen the ultimate guide but isnt there a diffrent way to update with the waninkoko's when you ahve a modchip in it?

EDIT: is it also if you instal waninkoko's update you also will be able to go to the orginal nintendo update?
