Homebrew 4.1 wninko update

[stickybit]

im on 3.2e and everthing works suberbly
id love to have the option of a bigger mem card and all the other goodies u get with 4.1
BUT im rather scared of updating incase i loose some of the superb features like usb loader, emulators etc or even bricking the wii,
has anyone updated using waninkos update from 3.2 to 4.1? what happend? was the wii ok did everything work?
is it recommended?

Do not use the Waninkoko updater! It WILL Brick your wii! The 4.0/4.1 updater installs a stubbed IOS60. It's been brickware ever since 4.2 came out.

If you want 4.1, use DOP-IOS MOD to install IOS60 v6174, then SM 4.1 for your region. You might want to install the latest version of the IOSes while at it, since they're likely outdated. If you update the IOSes, apply the patches only to IOS36 and IOS60.

i suggest you read xzxero's guide or zektor's 4.2 safe updater

just noticed i jumped in , these 2 are for 4.2 and will update all your ios's and not just your shopping channel and system menu

I'd suggest you simply get a IOS60-64-v6174.wad (NOT v6400) and system menu 4.1 wad (for you region), then install them with wad manager.
You can get these with NUS Downloader (be sure to enable "pack->wad")

Or if you have an internet connection on the Wii, use DOP-IOS MOD.

Thats the fastest and least dangerous way

Nah man, don't worry, just follow these steps. You can skip startpatch if you want.

Yes! I'm sure it will be ok. Waninkoko's rev 14 is ok but it does not hurt to upgrade to rev 17. So do this first.

You should load IOS36 (which should have the Trucha Bug enabled) so fakesign one.

Taken from Arikado's Blog:

"Before going on, you need an IOS with the trucha bug installed. If you do not have one, use the trucha bug restorer to install one. "

If you don't have one you can also use Arikado's Dop-IOS MOD v11.1 to trucha bug IOS36 (instead of running TBR itself), it's got:

"Added code from Trucha Bug Restorer so you can go through a short process to install an IOS (IOS 36) that accepts fakesigning if you need one"

You can also skip all the above by loading Dop-IOS-MOD with IOS249 and install IOS 61, IOS 70, System Menu 4.2 and the latest Shop Channel.

Eazy peazy lemon squeezy

Ow yeah, of course you need an internet connection to download and some free space on your SD card, it's by far the easiest way..

Do not use the Waninkoko updater! It WILL Brick your wii! The 4.0/4.1 updater installs a stubbed IOS60. It's been brickware ever since 4.2 came out.

If you want 4.1, use DOP-IOS MOD to install IOS60 v6174, then SM 4.1 for your region. You might want to install the latest version of the IOSes while at it, since they're likely outdated. If you update the IOSes, apply the patches only to IOS36 and IOS60.

That is not true.
wani 4.1 updater will not run without IOS60 installed. As long as you install proper versiune of IOS60(v6174) first before you run his 4.1 updater you will be OK and will not brick you (it will not download IOS60 again).
DO NOT USE wani's 4.0 updater, that will brick your wii for sure as it will download latest version of IOS60.

i mainly just want to get the sdhc feature was that with the 4.0 or 4.1 update?
plannin on doing it with dopios mod if its as easy as it looks then it should be no prob
can any1 tell me if i will lose any compatability going from 3.2 to 4.1 or 2?
i think i read somewhere i will lose boot2
what programs use boot 2?

sticky bit, u can use this to update to 4.2 if u like

NUS Auto Downloader

and updating to 4.2 VIA NINTENDO ONLY may update your boot2 to boot2v4 (it will only be updated if your boot2 v# is less than 4). If it updates your boot2, it will essentially uninstall bootmii installed as boot2. But you will be able to reinstall bootmii as boot2 (assuming your wii was capable of installing it in the first place... being able to install bootmii as boot2 depends on your boot1, so a boot2 update doesn't affect the ability to have bootmii as boot2)

the 4.2 system menu also deletes older versions of dvdx and the old HAXX homebrew channel, but if u have the new JODI HBC u'll be fine (u can also always use system meny hacks with priiloader or startpatch to prevent these channels from getting deleted, useful if you want to have the haxx-to-jodi forwarder channel)

I don't mean to steal this thread, but I'm on 4.0U and was considering updating to get more up to date IOS's etc. And to see if it will fix my SDHC problems. How should I go about this exactly?

I have bootmii as boot2, cIOS rev 17 and HBC 1.0.6. I do not have Wifi though, but I do have an official LAN Adapter for the Wii.

A little guidance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.
