softmod 3.2u

I just installed cIOSORP v3.4

put in beatles rockband .. wanted to update.. blacked screen


preloader doesnt show up when i turn on the system

is there anything i can do?
still under warranty.. what would happen if i sent it to nintendo? are they going to see the homebrew stuff?


i know i'm probably out of luck but any and all help/advice is much appreciated
thanks for your time

So you had preloader, cIOScorp, and anything??

Did you hold reset to try the preloader menu??



I had the new gamma, homebrew. I had preloader as an application under homebrew. I guess that means it was just reading it off the SD card.

I have tried holding reset while powering on the wii and also after powering it on. Neither seems to do anything.


edit :: preloader used to come on when the system booted , but thats before installing cios
thanks for replying.

3.2 have you ever updated to 4.0\4.2 then downgraded before sounds like you had a stubed IOS50 installed Beatles RockBand contains a 3.4 update, So it sounds like a full brick to me,
Sill under Warranty you might need to send it to Nintendo wait and see what others say



Good Luck

Yes I updated to 4.0 via homebrew app. Then went back to 3.2u

QUOTE(illinialex24 @ Oct 5 2009, 04:42 AM) Oh so you never actually installed preloader?? You never ran the Homebrew installer??


I did but that was before I downgraded from 4.0 to 3.2 and ran cioscorp

Ok I think you had IOS50 stubbed and so when you updated, it saw a newer version installed and when it went to 3.4U (guessing its the IOS for the system menu), it didn't update over it.

Do you have access to Homebrew?? Did you have bootmii installed?

When I turn it on. All I see is a black screen. Cant get into homebrew :-/ i had bootmii but that was also before the downgrade and cioscorp3.4 (cioscorp3.4 seemed to clear the preloader out as well)

Ok cool, so you installed it as a boot2 replacement cause you will still have it then.

So just make sure you have the proper files on the root of your SD card and I can help you. If you need to get them, I can PM them to you.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
