Hacking Can't install Preloader - used 2 different hacked Wiis

[tubebar]

I had an LU53 and couldn't get Preloader installed, so I returned it and got an LU63 since I have preloader on my other LU63. I get the same error, it's unreadable (screen is small) says something about "IOS 3 somthing bug fix", screen goes back to HBC.

I don't know why I had no problems on my first hack on my first Wii, but now I am unable to do it and am about to give up.

I have IOS16, CIOS249 and CIOS36 installed (it was part of the bath installer hack package I used), could that be a problem? Am I missing something? I also installed IOS60/61 for Wii Shop Channel Update (only after preloader failed) didn't do anything to help preloader.

Since both those systems seem to be newer then my original (since mine came w/ 3.3. fw) I guess it could be a hardware issue, but hoping it's something else? I am guessing that IOS error is looking for something?

The system came w/ 3.4 and I downgraded to 3.2 (haven't tried upgrading to 4.0 yet as I am afraid nothing will work). I guess I could wipe the system clean, bannerbomb and upgrade to 4.0 and start from there...but prefer to stay on 3.

What version of Pre Loader are you trying to install??
Preloader ver 29 is the newest...I think.

IOS60 and 61 is for System Menu 4.0, "I'm preaty sure" that may hurt a 3.2 system menu?..
Have you installed cIOS rev 10?

Good Luck
and be carefull.

IOS60/61 shouldn't hurt a 3.2 Wii. IOS61 is used to access the Shop channel without updating, and IOS60 isn't needed at all (by the System Menu). So things, that aren't used won't interfere.

@tubebar: The error is really "IOS 3 somthing bug fix"?

His IOS36 is bug fixed.

Preloader uses IOS36, and both his new Wiis came with 3.4 installed, so his IOS36 is too new, and therefore not still bugged. He needs to use IOS downgrader to get the old version of IOS36 installed, and then Preloader will install fine.

That makes sense. So the error could have been "IOS 36 is bug fixed".

Upgrading to 4.0 won't help you either. Your IOS36 is bug fixed, which started with 3.4. You need to run IOS downgrader to obtain the old IOS36, then Preloader will install just fine.

Correct.

I want to give special thanks afif95 (who found me the downgrader and first suggested it on my other system) and of course imapterodactyl too. That was the problem and it's solved now

This is exactly the problem I'm having, but I'm on a (cBoot2 modded) LU64++ and paranoid that I'll brick somehow if I downgrade any system IOS. Can anybody confirm that I can safely do this?
