Hacking BANNERBOMB RELEASED?

i know this is a stupid question, but what can i actually achieve from using Bannerbomb
im on a virgin 4.0E, and though i understand it will run .dol files.....im not entirely sure what they are, and since it cant install homebrew channel, what exactly can i do with this release?

A dol is an executable homebrew file. Normally the homebrew channel will show a list of all dol files on sd and then you can pick one to run. With this bannerbomb, it will just load 1 dol located in the root. So grab any piece of homebrew you want to try, rename its dol to boot.dol and try it

ah right, cool, cheers man.
so that means i could run, say, USB loader and play some of my backups??
would this work with a downgrade?
and whats the risk of bricking your wii executing a .dol like this?

The backup loader requires the installation of a so-called Custom Ios. At this moment, I think that's still impossible on 4.0.
This BannerBomb will just load a dol, it's not a solution to the other security fixes nintendo has put in place.
The same thing applies to downgrading, that too will need a Custom Ios installed.
But you can run normal dol files to try it out. An emulator for example, I think that should work. There is no risk in running such files, as they only run in memory and do not affect the wii in any permanent way. If it crashes, just reboot.

ah right, but bootmii will sort out these security fixes wont it? making virgin 4.0's totally hackable?

Yes, bootmii should be able to do that. Although Nintendo has changed something on new Wii's that will limit bootmii's possibilites on them. Don't know the exact details. Also check out that link in the post below my previous post. If you don't understand what that topic's about, don't even attempt it. It might brick you if you do it wrong

So, who wants to make the Downgrade virgin 4.0 tutorial?

 

[Adr990]

Anyone know what happens if you copy BannerBomb channel to your Wii?
(If you have the Title ID installed already, so you can copy.)

Sorry I'm so noob..

this is not directly related to fixing bricked wiis. This is a channel which allows homebrew to be run off of the sd card root.

I'm pretty sure you just need to follow this guide, but load each DOL though BannerBomb instead of via HBC:

Virgin Wii with 4.0 now has the hombrew channel on it and downgraded bk to 3.2 using cios

Install dvdx34

Install homebrew wad
then use cioscorps to install the system menu 3.2 ios s

Job done




Big thanks to Comex,Delta


Mate you was right

BTW I FOUND THAT YOU CAN INSTALL THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL, USING OPERA INTERNET CHANNEL ON 4.0 VIRGIN


Comex BB is so much better tho

Uhhh, I get a black screen when I try to install the third option on the first option... for the CMDVDX34. Is that supposed to happen?

 

[thebobinc]

Quick 4.0 virgin downgrade guide (firmware downgrager + cios249)
======================

tell me if im wrong.


1. Load BannerBomb on SD
2. Load cios36 rev10 installer with banner bomb
3. Load Firmware Downgrader 1.11 with banner bomb

... DONE? lol

No, because you can't install cIOS on a virgin 4.0 console using this method. There's another thread that tells you how to downgrade certain files to non-patched versions so that you can downgrade 4.0 though.
