Hacking BootMii NOT WORKING! Doesnt work...for me

[nabster92]

same here,

already saw few wii's where i could only install as IOS,
all of them the POWER/RESET/EJECT are not working for bootmii ...

so able to move around with a GC controller, but unable to start the nand dump because start=eject

The face buttons don't work in the IOS version, but if you have a GC controller you should be able to do everything...did you not try pressing start on the gc controller? It should never REQUIRE you to press something on the wii.

Mmm, [banging my head to the wall] I'm lame..

yip, that start button on the GC does actually works..

thanks for shaking my brain up

Hmm... same problem here.
IOS version installed, no WiiMote sync and no Power/Reset buttons working.
Since I don't have a GC controller, am I cursed ??? I mean, is the BootMii completelly useless for me?
Any help or extra explanation on this issue will be appreciated.
Thansk a lot.

sorry to bump though, but ive been going through the same problem. i have a 1gb sandisk non sdhc card and its been working for me before, until few days ago, it just automatically goes into preloader without booting into bootmii first. ive already have the newest hbc, btw. also, i have one of the older wiis which was able to install bootmii as both methods, as ios and as boot2

I'm confused...you say you have the same problem as the OP, but from what you write, it seems like your bootmii was already installed correctly and worked before now.

If so...is your bootmii folder still in the root of the SD card? And if so...how does your SD:\bootmii\bootmii.ini look like?

(it should look a bit like this:

# BootMii config file
# Created by bootmii config editor

# Video mode, possible settings:
# NTSC, PAL50, PAL60, PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO=NTSC

# Autoboot, possible settings:
# SYSMENU, HBC
#AUTOBOOT=OFF
BOOTDELAY=5
)


Oh, and just to be sure: you didn't recently updated your firmware or messed around with sneek, did you? (both can cause effects on bootmii's working)

 

[wiimanizer]

yes, bootmii in root of sd with the following files: bootmii.ini, ppcboot.elf, armboot.bin.
my ini looks like this:
# BootMii config file

# Video mode, possible settings:
# NTSC, PAL50, PAL60, PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO=PROGRESSIVE

# Autoboot, possible settings:
# SYSMENU, HBC
#AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU

# Autoboot delay, in seconds:
# Default is 5
#BOOTDELAY=5

i updated my firmware a little while back, but still on 4.2U and no, i dont have SNEEK.

edit: actually, come to think of it, to make bootmii boot up first, should autoboot be turned off?

 

[nabster92]

If you updated your firmware officially to 4.2, you lost bootmii and have to reinstall it again if you want it back. And that # sign before the autoboot line means its commented out and is ignored. So its not autobooting.

 

[Taleweaver]

IIRC, if you remove the # in the "autoboot" line, it'll boot directly into the system menu. It's probably best to remove the "#" in the bootdelay line as well (the '5' is the amount of seconds it displays if you don't press a button). That way, you should at least be able to glance the bootmii GUI if it's still there.

actually, all i did was changed the autoboot from sysmenu to off and everything seemed fine. thanks anyway, just figured my own problem. =)
