Hacking Cios Downgrader won't continue.( ret = -116)

[mslugx]

I've bang my head against the wall all night, can't figure it out. Can anybody shed me some light on what's going on here?

I have a 3.1U system, i installed HBC, and CIOS 37 rev3.

I installed everything until the time i need to run Cios downgrader 1.2. It keeps saying Network Initiazing... and return with an error code ret= - 116, I check the

websites on why it's happening. Some people said internet not being turned on, or not properly setup. But i ran the connection test, and it's successful, so i have no

idea anymore. Can anybody tell me what i've done wrong? or is there any way to upgrade it to 3.2U so i can install starfall? Thank you very much, and have a

great day.

It looks like it's having problems accessing the internet. Check your connection and then try running it a few more times.

 

[mslugx]

i ran the test 10-20 times, i just don't seem to get it to work.

i don't remember but an system menu update in wad form doesn't use internet, right?

You could try using any region changer and see if it gets stuck also but you need the internet.

Man... I had this same problem the other day.. crazy thing...
I had PMed everyone I knew that could possibly make sense of this.

My Opera Channel, Homebrew browser, online game play worked perfect.

But when I tried using some patchmii workarounds for the shop channel, mii channel, etc. I couldn't get it to access the network... I got the same message..."error -116 could not find network".

Solution?

For 2 days off and on I tried to load these .dol's to get them to work properly.

1. Try resetting your router. I have a Verizon FIOS router.. you have to hold in the the reset button on the back of the router/modem for atleast 30 seconds. Let go and it should reset your router. Even with some of Comcast's this works.

2. Make sure that you are now connected again with your Wii. Go into your Wii console settings and test the connection. (Without updating..duh?!)

3. Now go to Homebrew Channel and make sure that the very far bottom right icon stays white instead of off or blinking.

4. Try the app now.

5. Update to the new homebrew channel that was just released today because it fixes some networking issues plus ALOT of other enhancements!

the funny thing is i am using verizon fios router too. I would be so pissed if that's what happened.

also i am suspecious about any region changer. they said there is a chance u will brick your wii.

 

[EmperorOfCanada]

Yes it IS the router... I think I even submitted error 116 to the Error pdf that kitt has floating around. Guess you should have asked me

Yes, everyone says it's dangerous.

Didn't hurt my wii.

Yea.. and the thing is... I was just playing around with this new homebrew and it still has some network issues... so unless we bring it up to marcan... it may be overlooked again... if you really need to get it working... I think the easiest solution, atm is to just reset your router and try again. We have to remember that these new wifi's out are still kind of in a beta state and so the firmware for them is as well if you think about it. Yet, I don't trust using some other firmware to my router because if Verizon can detect this somehow it may cause some fuss I would imagine. And I am not about that kind of drama. I already have enough problems paying for all this wonderfulness.

 

[nutta_nic]

did that solve your issue, if not try going to you system settings go going to connect24 and accepting the terms and conditions then try again, this fixed my error but cant remember what the code was

 

[IronMask]

Not so because I have been connected to connect24 for about a week now just to see what difference it made and to see what would happen..

I still think it's the router as well.

To fix the problem with your routers get an after market one...
Then take an ethernet cord from an open port on the fios router and hook it up to the internet/wan port of the after market one...

Yo will have to configure the router to the correct domain and set it up for dhcp.... you may have to change it's default ip to another one so no conflicts on the system when you try to access it...

Now setup your Wii to connect to the after market router.... you should be good...
Did this at my friends house the other day.... And no more connection issues... Also you may have to try different wireless channels 3,6,11 to get the best connection to your Wii....
Hope this helps!!!

Mine is a Verizon FIOS router made by ActionTec M1424-WR Rev. C. I don't see the point in having to do that when there has to be something else out there that can fix it. Marcan is actually looking for someone with this issue that has a USB Ethernet adapter AND a USB Gecko. I don't have the Gecko or I would be running over. So I think it is just a matter of time.. for now I guess I can handle my homebrew not always working for the meantime... because it seems to play online games just fine.

Hey Guys.......Thanks a lot of your replies.....I just got fixed error -116........I just accept agreement and did make sure that the very far bottom right icon stays white instead of off or blinking........I think key is icon should be white.....keep clicking on icon till it is not white and then give a try for downgrade......atleast mine is working fine.....

Thanks

I had the same issue. Then, I changed wireless channel from 6 to 3. Everything works perfectly now. Thanks

i've had same issue with a d-link wireless N router, i was able to use nintendo's update from 3.X(3 i think) to 3.4 and then all my wads were able to connect to download, after i downgraded to 3.2 the connection stopped again =/ so ended up using an offline version of the cios installer and then walla
