Use Wanikoko's Firmware Update 4.0, Update to 4.0 and CIOS36REV8 installed before.
But when installed Preloader 0.28, WII bricked.

I can hold RESET into the Preloder system and load HBC, can I use ARC to flash 3.2U menu?

Not unless you have a modchip or know someone with a chipped drive that they'll let you swap into your wii for a while...
Why d'ya do it?! Preloader is ONLY for 3.2

i could feel sorry for you, but with the amount of threads saying PRELOADER NOT WORKING ON 4.0, i'll just say pray and learn to read next time

Does preloader itself still boot? (hold reset while powering on)
Then you could start HBC I guess and then use wad manager to reinstall a system menu wad

As preloader is so amazing (it has not bricked you) Its just not for sysmenu 4.0
To recover Turn on Wii HOLD Reset to boot into preloader and than load HBC and reinstall 3.2 and than WAIT for correct preloader 4.0

Crediar make all possible to WARN people, use "password" (like the mario bruzza) or a disclaimer to read like in starfall but people manage to brick their wii using a 3.2E/U tool on newer firmware.
Ho sad to brick with an anti-brick HB. but it can happend to everyone....

Can you acces the Preloader Menu?
So:
Turn your Wii complety off.
Turn it on and hold reset!

Maybe you can acces the Preloader Menu and start HBC->Wad Manager->Reinstall Systemmenu

If not:
Savemii/Savemiifrii and a game which has an update higher than 4.0

Or:
You used Waninkokos Updater. So Trucha should be enabled in all of your IOS Versions.
You need a Modchip and an autoboot Disk (wad manager).
Then (maybe insert Savemii or use Savemiifrii) and get into recovery mode.
Insert Autobot Disk and load Wad Manager->Install new Systemmenu.


But i think you can acces the recovery menu.
Remember the first Preloader relase (think was a leak...).
Many bricked Wiis. But they could recover.
I think you can that too.

Plz post the results.
If you cant acces the recovery Menu, i would prefer the Modchip and Savemii solution.

Why that reinstalled the menu can'd wrap-out preloader?
Anyway, I can access to WIFI, and can I just waitting for Preloader 0.29 and let it update itself?

hey this may be a very noobish question, but... what are the chances of preloader bricking your wii on sysmem 3.2 with starfall installed?

erm... i'm gonna say 0% chance?

i dont really now because i never had starfall. but most of the people here did at somepoint, then everyone managed to get preloader installed with no problems.

leads me to believe there is no problem installing preloader.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
