I was looking inside a Wii iso and inside the update partition I saw an update for boot2. Is it possible to replace that wad file with a patched wad file with bootmii boot2 in it. This way it could work on every Wii!
0M39A said:as far as my understanding goes (which could be wrong, hopefully someone will correct me if i am), boot2 is writeable on any wii, but new boot2v4 wii's wont load bootmii, as the fakesign bug has been fixed in boot1 (ie. brick)
DeadlyFoez said:I think the OP might be onto something. Even the new wii's with the new boot1 still do have an upgradable boot2. Although I don't have a full understanding of the wii's internal workings, but why would it not be possible to exchange the code on an update to make it so it can install bootmii on the new wii's? Obviously nintendo has their key and unlock code to be able to edit the boot2, whats the holdup of someone discovering it and using it to get full access? There's enough hackers who are smart enough to dump everything and reverse engineer it.
I'm sure if that idea was possible someone would have already tried it by now.

of the WAD? How would this help? It isn't as though it holds the private key or something. If it was really as easy as you think, I'm sure someone would have figured all of this out by now.DeadlyFoez said:Someone should do a full reverse engineer of the updater for boot2 and find the key that way.

I think it's 16 bytes, so it's 256^16 different possible keys, good luck trying them all.

Correct if I'm wrong. I'm not coder in anyway except a little bit HTML.
