Hacking BootMii - Failed (-1)

[Dunst]

I'm having the worst luck modding this Wii. I've modded a wii before and didn't have any problems. However, here is where I'm struggling. When I load the first set of files:

Apps
Config
Private
Wad
boot.elf
boot_wadmanager.dol
cIOS38.rev14-Installer.dol
database.txt

And I'm able to install HBC no problem. As soon as i attempt to install BootMii as an IOS, I get the error message listed int he title. I get this no matter what set of files I use (I've tried several different sites and their 4.2 methods (all using the bannerbomb method).

Any idea why I'm getting this failed (-1) message? I can't seem to find anything on this. Thanks so much for any help!

All it says after I select, "Install as an IOS" is....

Mounting SD Card....

FAILED (-1).

Is the SD card more than 1GB? Is the SD cards' lock on?

I'd say sd card is incompatible with bootmii

It's a 4GB SDHC card / Kingston SD4

Tried both locked and unlocked.

I used a sandisk last time but I assumed this sd card would work. Perhaps not?

Ya, I'm pretty sure any cards past 2GB will cause several problems with softmodding your wii.

Unless you're on SM4.0 and above.

The system menu version you have doesn't mean a thing when it comes to which apps can or can't read SDHC cards. Remember that homebrew was compatible with SDHC half a year before 4.0 came out.

Is there a way to fix this or no???

I would guess that switching to a smaller SD (under 2GB) would help.

 

[pokeral]

i did that but it did not work

Make sure it's formatted as fat32, and if you have an SD lock switch make sure it's disabled. Try various cards, doesn't necessarily need to be 2GB or less
