Stop giving this kind of advice....there's no BRICK protection in Wanin's Wad-Manager. There is however in MMM and YAWM.
When modding a Wii with Wadmanager 1.7 is NOT recommended!

 

[PE06MCG]

I have worked my way through all the usual modding guides then was referred to this modmii guide.

What a revelation.

It really is impressive.

From the v4.3E white Wii I originally had, I now have a 4.3 Wii without limitations. Thank you for the straightforward guide and flawless processing that produced my requirements.

The problem for most of us is that exploring the more poweful tools like Drop Mii etc. in combination with NUS Loader can be daunting to put it mildly, however I still intend to learn the more advanced tools but realise it will be a steep learning curve.

In the meantime I have the best start I could ever hope for with this magnificent tutorial / program / printoff resume.

Thank you again.

OK this is pissing me off. I have been out of things for over a year. I was running old Wii gator but wanted to try some new games. I have not turned on my Wii for at least 15 months. So I decided to try the ModMii.

Wiped clean the memory on my wii.
Ran the ModWii
Added all files to SD
Run BannerBomb v1 by going to Settings, Data Management, Channels, SD Card and choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf
Pop up happens. Confirm YES
Screen changed with warning about IF YOU BOUGHT THIS.....
Pop up say press A and it sticks. Nothing. Wii remote does not power off, but it will not accept the A press to continue.

I am on 3.2U firmware. Any ideas.

 

[XFlak]

I believe the message says to press "1", not "A"

edit: u should read more carefully... if you are overlooking things like that, then who knows what else u could overlook. Just be careful, just like they say to measure twice and cut once, u should read twice and do once

 

[Jgel]

I believe the message says to press "1", not "A"

edit: u should read more carefully... if you are overlooking things like that, then who knows what else u could overlook. Just be careful, just like they say to measure twice and cut once, u should read twice and do once

I know I just typed the wrong thing. It does say 1 but it does not work. That was just s type error on my part. The problem is I read 20 times and still can't cut once

So when I press 1 nothing happens.

edit: Just tried a different card and still the same thing. The lights are on the wiiMote, but it won't take the 1 press

edit 2: I am going to re-run the wizard and re-download the files to make sure they are good.

edit 3: OK redownloaded the files. Put them on SD card. Same as above, but this time when it gets to the screen "this software should not be sold..." the Wii Remote just starts vibrating and won't stop until I take the battery out???? It says press 1 to continue but still nothing.

 

[XFlak]

if u are getting that far, the problem isn't the SD card. Are the lights on the wiimote flashing, or is it synced as first player? In either case, try this: after launching the hackmii installer, do not press ANY buttons on the wiimote until you see the "press 1" message, if u press it before, u could screw up the wiimote sync. Before the "press 1" message appears, you will even be able to see the wiimote light blink off, then back on 1 second later, that is normal.

If you still are unable to get past that screen, the hackmii installer could be having some issues with w/e is left over from your previous soft mod (ie. darkcorp). If what I suggested above doesn't get it working, try running ModMii's Hackmii Solutions Feature before following the ModMii Wizard guide. That will install a clean IOS58 and hopefully allow the hackmii installer to continue (if its truly freezing up, its likely due to the fact that the hackmii installer v1.07 and above installs bootmii as IOS during it's disclaimer warning and your prior darkcorp or cioscorp installation is somehow interfering with it)

OK thanks, I will try that now. Took a day off work to get this damn thing to work. I got a donation for you when I get this to work. I will report back. Oh and thumbs up to you guy, how nice are you to take time helping other people.

thumbs up right back at ya!

oh yea, since ur wii was already modified, u likely already have a working cIOS249/250. If you end up trying the "hackmii solutions" solution, during the step where u r using MMM to install a non-fakesigned IOS58, instead u can try loading one of your cIOSs (249/250) from within MMM (it should be the last option in MMM's main menu) and then u can install all the wads that the "ModMii Wizard" saved to your WAD folder. This will overwrite/uninstall darkcorp if its installed, and should allow the hackmii installer to perform properly (installing IOS58 alone should be enough to allow it to run properly, but your chances of success are increased if u overwrite all 'corped IOSs with the original non-fakesigned IOSs... so why not!)

 

[Fox888]

well i will just say thank you so much for your great app, help me a lot with building sneek and stuff. so really great work man
and if i could i will donate to you for this great app, but i can´t (sorry)

really a great tool and very much appreciate

...Keep up your very good work and thank you so much.....

 

[XFlak]

You're very welcome! And don't worry about not being able to donate... I totally understand not everyone is in a position to send cash. The only ppl I personally think should donate no matter what, are the ppl who are making money performing softmods using ModMii, and even then I hope those ppl are at least telling their customers/friends that they could use ModMii themselves for free if they wish. Besides, I didn't build ModMii for money or for fame, I wrote it because I enjoy helping people optimize their Wii's! Seriously, my involvement in the wii scene just snowballed, but I started out just like anybody else, reading the stickies... and there's no shame in that, everybody has to start somewhere!

Man oh man you are good. Must have been something left over that was messing it up. Ran through everything fine after that fist fix. I tested a backup that ran fine. No issues. I like the red look too. I loaded your Neogamma channel and it works like a charm. My last question is what are all the other channel for? I'm sure I can do more with this than just play backups. Where would you recommend?

Oh and where can I send a donation. Thanks for the help.

 

[XFlak]

Well, I'm assuming you told the ModMii wizard to set up a usb-loader? If not, you can run the usb-loader set up guide from ModMii's main menu to help you get that working (usb-loading is much more convenient and faster than backup disc loading, so I highly recommend it). Other than that, you can download some or all of the "Just for Fun" apps on ModMii's download page 2 (these include emulators for older consoles like nes and snes and WiiMC- a Wii Media Player, and more). I'm not sure what other channels you're referring to... my USB-Loader forwarder channel is the only channel ModMii will download (as a part of extra brick protection), for it to actually do anything u need to have a usb-loader saved to your SD card or hard drive (or another app saved to the usb-loader folder). If you are looking at my "top channels" thread, then those are all forwarder channels that forward to the apps in ModMii's "Just for Fun" downloads.

Donations can be sent via paypal to:

[email protected]

If you send a donation, you can expect a response from me either via email or gbatemp thanking you and informing you of ModMii's functional easter egg... and I guarantee that everyone who ever has and ever will be informed of the easter egg will take advantage of it each and every time they use ModMii!

 

[riv425]

Hi, I've never even tried tampering with my wii before and I decided to learn the other day. I found this thread which has been infinitely helpful, and it seems like it's worked for a lot of people. I do have a problem though, it's probably due to the fact that I've never done this before and have most likely screwed up somehow along the way (even though i've carefully read through all the info and instructions and applied it to the best of my ability)
I ran the Wizard and it generated my custom ModMii guide (see spoiler below)

1) INSTALLING THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL (HBC) AND BOOTMII
=================================================


Note: if this Wii was previously modified, and it has either the HBC, BootMii as Boot2, or a Forwarder Channel installed, you can use that instead of an exploit (as it does not require physically owning a specific game).

If using BootMii as Boot2 to install the HBC, copy the 'BootMii' folder from your previous BootMii install to the root of your SD Card (or download it using ModMii). Then boot your wii, BootMii will load, go To the SD menu, load bootmini.elf. This will load the Hackmii Installer allowing you to reinstall the HBC.

If using a Forwarder Channel, just save the boot.elf/dol from the app you want to load (ie. SD:\apps\hackmii_installer\boot.elf or SD:\apps\MMM\boot.dol) to the location used by your SPECIFIC Forwarder Channel (ie. SD:\apps\usbloader\boot.dol). Then start the channel and the Hackmii Installer will load allowing you to reinstall the HBC. Note, if your forwarder channel only loads dol's and not elf's, launch MMM's boot.dol, then use its "App Manager" to load the Hackmii Installer.


BATHAXX EXPLOIT
---------------

REQUIREMENTS: * A copy of "LEGO Batman"
* SD card (not SHDC) formatted as FAT16 or FAT32

A. Load the LEGO Batman game at least once
(otherwise you won't be able to copy over the hack).

B. Backup your personal LEGO Batman save file before copying the files to your SD Card (if applicable):

a) Put your SD card in your Wii and turn it on.
b) Go into Wii Options - Data Management - Save Data - Wii
c) Find your LEGO Batman save, click on it, click "Copy", and click Yes. Now erase the save file from the Wii.
d) Put your SD card in your computer, and copy the "private" folder from the card to a safe place. Alternatively you can temporarily rename it.

C. Copy the files from the COPY_TO_SD to the root of your SD card (if you haven’t already) and insert it into your Wii

D. Go into Wii Options - Data Management - Save Data - Wii - SD Card
then copy over the "LEGO Batman" save that corresponds to your region.

E. Start the LEGO Batman game. Load the new save file.

You are now in the batcave, take the elevator on the right side.
Then in the trophy room, go to the upper corner and go through the door
to the "Wayne Manor". Now you can select a character.
Choose the last enabled character in the lowest row to launch the exploit.


This runs the Hackmii Installer (and silently/automatically installs BootMii as IOS). Use the installer to install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii as Boot2 if possible. If you cannot install BootMii as Boot2, you also need to 'prepare an SD Card' for BootMii (as the 'BootMii' folder is required to launch BootMii as IOS or Boot2).

Note: If you get a 'no vulnerable IOS' error message, run ModMii again and this time select the 'Hackmii Solutions' option instead of 'ModMii Wizard' and follow the new instructions before continuing this guide.

After you exit the hackmii installer, you will be taken to the HBC.
Hit the home button. In the top right corner you will see the IOS used by the HBC.

If the HBC is using an IOS other than IOS58 or your homebrew channel is upside-down, make a note of it as it applies later in the guide (you will have to reinstall the HBC).

If it is using IOS58 and your HBC is not upside-down, you can skip the Reinstall The Homebrew Channel step when you get to it.




2) MAKING A NAND BACKUP
====================

While inside the Homebrew Channel, load BootMii by pressing home and clicking Launch Bootmii.
Press the power button on the wii 3 times to get to the last option, then press the reset button. [You can also navigate with a Gamecube controller]

Press reset to choose the first option, then follow the directions on the screen to make your NAND backup. [Bad blocks are no problem.]

Backup the Bootmii folder, NAND.bin, and keys.bin elsewhere and erase from the sd card (or rename it). You'll need these in case of emergencies, so don't lose them.
Go back to The Homebrew Channel.

Note: if Bootmii was installed as boot2, then it will show up as soon as the Wii is turned on AS LONG AS it finds the bootmii folder (mentioned above) on the root of the SD card.




3) INSTALL A PATCHED IOS236
========================

Start the Homebrew Channel.

VERY IMPORTANT!
In the Homebrew channel, if you do not have a working internet connection already set up, you will see an icon flashing in the bottom right corner of the screen indicating its inability to initialize the network. You MUST wait for the icon to stop flashing OR let it flash for 30-60 seconds before proceeding otherwise these apps will error shortly after being launched. If you encounter this harmless error, power off the Wii and repeat this step from the beginning. To increase your chances of success, add a working internet connection to your Wii via the official Wii Settings Menu, but be sure to say "No" when asked to perform an update.


You only need to perform ONE of the below methods.


Method A: Using IOS236 Installer
--------------------------------

After waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, launch "IOS236 Installer v5 MOD".
Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly.

It should say "IOS236 installation is complete!" and return to The Homebrew Channel.

If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work.
If you continue to experience errors you can try using Simple IOS Patcher instead.
Once either method successfully installs IOS236, you can move onto the next step.


Method B: Using Simple IOS Patcher
----------------------------------

After waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, launch "IOS236 Installer".
Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly.

Choose "IOS36" (already selected by default) and push A,
Select "Install IOS to slot" and choose 236,
Select "Install patched IOS36" leaving the 4 patches set to "yes" and press A,
Choose "Load IOS from SD card".

Confirm your choice with the A button,
When prompted, push A to continue the installation.
When the installation is over you'll be back at the Main Menu,
Then push B button to exit.

If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work.
If you continue to experience errors you can try using IOS236 Installer instead.
Once either method successfully installs IOS236, you can move onto the next step.




4) INSTALL PRIILOADER
==================

Launch "Priiloader 236" via the Homebrew Channel

After the Priiloader Installer loads, press + to install it.

You may get an error for "loader.ini" and/or "password.txt" simply ignore these.

After successfully installing Priiloader, access it by powering off the Wii,
then powering it back on while holding reset until you see the Priiloader menu.

You should install some system menu hacks now (by going to System Menu hacks option).

RECOMMENDED HACKS: Block Disc Updates, Block Online Updates, Replace Health Screen, Auto-Press A at Health Screen, Region-Free Everything, remove no copy save file protection, and Move Disc Channel.

The priiloader menu is white by default, you can change it to black in the Priiloader settings if you prefer.

One of the special functions of Priiloader is that it can autoboot any app/file instead of the system menu. Some apps (like crazyIntro) can't be used without it.
For details on how to do so, visit www.sites.google.com/site/completesg/system-hacks/priiloader




5) INSTALL WADS
============

Load Multi-Mod Manager (MMM) via the HomeBrew Channel.
If IOS236 is not already loaded, select "Load another IOS", then select IOS236

Note: If this step fails with error -ret 2011 or other, you may need to retry patching IOS236. If the Wii was previously softmodded, you can try loading cIOS250 (or others like 202,222,223,224,236,249)

In Multi-Mod Manager's main menu, go down to select "WAD Manager".

Install the following WADs from the WAD folder (this list of WADs is unique to how you answered the Wizard's questions).

Be careful not to install any additional wads that may have been previously saved in this folder (they may be safe, but I cannot say for sure).

Hold + for 2 seconds to select all the WADs in the folder. Then Press A twice to install them all.
If any files fail to install properly, they will remain marked for installation, so just retry installing those files.


Your unique list of wads to install are as follows:

* IOS11v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS20v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS30v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS50v14889(IOS50v4889[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS60v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS70v16687(IOS70v6687[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS80v6944[FS-ES-NP]
* cIOS202[57]-v5
* cIOS223[37-38]-v4
* cIOS222[38]-v5
* cIOS224[57]-v5
* cIOS249[56]-v21d2x2
* cIOS250[57]-v21d2x2
* RVL-cmios-v4_WiiGator_GCBL_v0.2
* Mii-Channel-NUS-v6
* Photo-Channel-1.1-NUS-v3
* Shopping-Channel-NUS-v20
* Opera-Internet-Channel-NUS
* Weather-Channel-NUS-v7
* NEWS-Channel-NUS-v7
* Wii-Speak-Channel-NUS
* IOS56-64-v5662
* IOS58-64-v6176
* USBLoader(s)-ahbprot58-SD-USB-v8b-IDCL
This is a forwarder channel that will load the first file it finds from the following list:
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\usb-loader\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usb-loader\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_cfg\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_cfg\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\WiiFlow\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\WiiFlow\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_gx\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_gx\boot.elf
Notes: IOS58 is required to launch apps from an SD Card and hard drives formatted as
FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 and ext4. It also supports meta.xml arguments
and is able to launch apps with direct hardware access.
You should always have at least one forwarder channel installed on your Wii,
that way, in the event of accidental update, you will be able to rehack your Wii without relying on a disc based exploit




6) REINSTALL THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL (if applicable)
==============================================

Earlier you should have checked what IOS is used by the Homebrew Channel (HBC). If the IOS used by your HBC is IOS58 and your HBC is not upside-down, you can skip this step.

If the HBC is using an IOS other than IOS58 or your HBC is upside-down, you should reinstall the HBC.

Launch the HackMii_Installer via the HBC.
Use the Hackmii Installer to fix/re-install the HBC. Once you've successfully reinstalled the HBC, you can move onto the next step of the guide.

If the HBC is failing to load the HackMii_Installer (just blackscreens), instead launch the Hackmii Installer using the method described in the First Step




================================================================================
======
THE REST OF THE GUIDE IS PERFORMED ON YOUR COMPUTER IN ORDER TO SET UP YOUR USB-LOADER
================================================================================
======



7) FORMAT THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE (if applicable)
==============================================

First check if your drive needs to be formatted by checking the current Format\File-System of the drive.
Open 'My Computer', right-click the external hard drive you want to use, then select 'properties'.
Make note of the Drive Letter of the external hard drive as this will be important later.
If the 'File-System' is already FAT32, you can skip this step.

If you have anything saved on the hard drive, you should back it up now as all the data will be lost once you format it.

Launch FAT32_GUI_Formatter.exe saved here:
COPY_TO_USB\FAT32_GUI_Formatter\FAT32_GUI_Formatter.exe

Make sure you select the drive letter corresponding to your external hard drive.
You may optionally uncheck the 'Quick Format' box, then click start.




8) COPY FILES TO HARD DRIVE
========================

Copy everything inside the COPY_TO_USB folder to the root of your FAT32 hard-drive\partition.



9) MANAGE WII BACKUPS USING WII BACKUP MANAGER (OPTIONAL)
======================================================

Launch WiiBackupManager.exe saved here:
COPY_TO_USB\WiiBackupManager\WiiBackupManager.exe

You can use this program to manage/transfer your electronic backups of Wii Games.
It is very simple to use, but a detailed tutorial on using Wii Backup Manager can be found here:
www.sites.google.com/site/completesg/backup-launchers/iso/wbfs-managers/wii-backup-manager

Note: Original Wii Disc's cannot be read/copied by using a computer (unless you have one of the rare LG Drives that is capable of doing so)

To copy ORIGINAL Wii Disc's, insert the disc into your Wii and...
- Launch Configurable USB-Loader, and hit the plus sign '+'.




10) CONFIGURE/CUSTOMIZE CONFIGURABLE USB-LOADER (OPTIONAL)
======================================================

To Configure/Customize your USB-Loader, use the Configurator for Configurable USB-Loader found here:
COPY_TO_USB\usb-loader\CfgLoaderConfigurator.exe

Optional: additional themes can be found here:
<a href="http://wii.spiffy360.com/themes.php" target="_blank">http://wii.spiffy360.com/themes.php</a>

* IMPORTANT NOTES ON DEFAULT SETTINGS:
------------------------------------

Two potentially dangerous features have been locked:
1) The ability to remove/delete games
2) the ability to format a hard drive.

To unlock these features, while in the configurable USB-Loader menu, hold '1' for 5 seconds, then enter the password to unlock these features. The password is 'AAAA', you can change the password/settings by using the Configurator for Configurable USB-Loader. Hold '1' again for 5 seconds to lock the USB-Loader again (or it will lock automatically again once you exit the USB-Loader).



11) AFTER MODDING
=============

After you are done modding your Wii, you can optionally delete any unnecesarry files
by using ModMii's "File Cleanup" Feature.

At this point you're practically done.
Now you should be downloading the latest homebrew applications and setting them up on
your SD Card (or FAT32 USB Hard Drive) so they can be launched via the HBC.

For downloading applications, you should:
* Check out ModMii's batch download pages as it has many popular apps available for download.
* Download Homebrew Browser via ModMii to get many popular apps, but this is an online only Wii application (www.sites.google.com/site/completesg/how-to-use/hbb)
* For those without internet on their Wii, check out this list of Homebrew applications (wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_all_homebrew).
Another great resource is webrewwii.blogspot.com

After getting whatever apps you want, you should get a boot.dol file and possibly a icon.png and meta.xml.
For HBC to read your SD/USB correctly, your card must be structured SD:/apps/application name/boot.dol
If you have a *.dol not named boot.dol, rename it boot.dol, otherwise it will not be recognized by the HBC.
(optional: the icon.png and meta.xml should be saved in the same place as the boot.dol)

I followed the guide by copying my COPY_TO_SD files over to my card, inserting into Wii, and used Bathaxx save game exactly as the instructions indicate to load Wayne Manor & selected the character to bring up the installer for HBC.
The screen, at this point, goes to black w/white text (looks like all is good) and shows Copyright info, license info, font and graphics credits etc.
Immediately after credits it loads the following:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Cleaning up environment... OK.
SD Card not present? (-1056964576)
SD card not found (-1056964576)
USBGecko not found
No code found to load, hanging.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So clearly it's not picking up my SD card. But why might it be doing this? I haven't removed the card, and the Wii obviously detected it in order for me to move my Bathaxx save file over and load it.

I have tried restarting the Wii to try again (doesn't work), removing the card, re-formatting it as FAT32 and re-doing the whole process from the beinng (this also doesn't work.)
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? Sorry, I hope I don't sound too much like a noob (the bad kind)!

Any input is appreciated. Thanks so much!

1st off, I appreciate your very well written error report. It's helpful for me (and anyone really) to help you without bugging you for more info! So thx!
But now to the real issue, just because your SD card is compatable from the system menu to copy over the same does not mean it is compatible with the game\exploit. Your 4.3 system menu runs off IOS80 which supports SDHC cards, and the LEGO Batman game runs off another IOS which does not (I'm not sure which IOS it uses off the top of my head). You never mentioned what SD card you are currently using, but I'm guessing its SDHC or an uncommon brand name. So basically, it should work if you use a different SD card, non-SDHC, under 2GBs. I recommend the 2gb Sandisk SD card, it is compatible with everything Wii related. Good luck!

@riv425, XFlak:

Agree with XFlak, I have tested two of exploits about 4.3.
All of Them can't compatible with SDHC!!
Hope this can help you...

I used a San Disk 4Mg SD card with the Lego Batman exploit.
Admittadly before I ran the Modmii (I found this later) but it does work with the card I have mentioned.

maybe you have rare non sdhc 4gb card?

Hey.

Some times like Sims 3 when it gets to the game's main menu it just resets the wii to the wii menu?

Is there something I must install?

Thanks!
