Hacking CIOSCORP"theory that could save bricks"

[funnystory]

I really want to get cioscorp.But im scared of the cios60 because ive heard it bricks wiis.So i came up with a solution.I will install all cios EXCEPT for 60.Then using preloader i will tell it to run the system menu from ios249.Would this work?

Install Preloader, then cIOSCOrp, including the 60BF. Then reinstall Preloader and the brick will be fixed.

Install Preloader - install cios60bf - install Preloader again. It will work and unbrick you Wii if it bricks during the process.
You might also be able to run the SysMenu from IOS249, but if I'm correct, you'll need the "IOS Reload" hack to play games through the disc channel.


edit: Golfman560 was just to fast. :/

I def thought that said something about shitting bricks.

yer you need to reinstall preloader after you install cios60, but dont ask the softmii team about this they will tell you its not doable until softmii 3.0 and ban you lol

:-p

What is the 60BF ios exactly? Is that something for softmods or preloader or something like that?

it would work, but you'll end up loosing the abbility of sdhc in the system menu. as several times said before install preloader and then install cios60bf and then reinstall preloader... that would fix everything...

It's the CIOS CORP for firmware 4.0. It is able to reenable Backup-reading in the disc channel if you had installed CIOS CORP in v3.2.
BF = Backup Fix

yea i just dont like the idea of the slim chance that something stupid could happen.Id feel more comfortable with the softmii 3.0 guide.Also what is the reason it bricks?I dont get it.Why does installing cios60bf semi-brick the wii?

 

[danash]

would cioscorp 3.2 benefit me in any way even though i have a modchip?

IOS60 has to be patched for preloader to be able to load system menu 4.0 and preloader only patches ios60 when it is installed. Since cios60bf hasn't been patched by preloader, the system menu won't run. Reinstalling preloader causes it to patch cios60bf, allowing the system menu to work normally.

 

[Golfman560]

It semi-bricks the Wii because IOS60 is the what the systemmenu is based on in firmware 4.0

Also, the SoftMii 3.0 guide will have you do the same thing. Unless Prelaoder .30 comes out and they use that in the guide.

No. Definitly.

 

[funnystory]

well how come in 3.2 softmii didnt brick wiis

Of course. Don't ask the mod with close to 300 posts in both help sections combined. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Regardless, this was answered above. Just in case Imissed it while skimming, use preloader .29, not .28.
