UPGRADING TO 4.2 WITHOUT HACKMII v0.5

***RISKY! Not recommended by Zektor or Wii soft-mod purists. If it fails, use bannerbomb v2 to get HBC back***

1. Skip #10 (do not install HackMii v0.5) and #13 (do not install IOS60 as Preloader needs it)

2. Update "hacks.ini" for 4.2U from http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/hacks on your SD card

3. Use WAD Manager to install all WADs. After completion, press the "HOME" button on the Wiimote to go back to HBC (HAXX title)

4. Run Preloader v0.29 installer

5. Get within arms reach to your Wii. Restart it and immediately hold the RESET button to get into Preloader.

6. Enable the "Disable HAXX,DVDX,RZDx checks"

7. Restart the Wii again and HBC (HAXX title) should still be installed. Congratulations! You have now bypassed the need for HackMii v0.5 and not yet released Preloader v0.30

Why it works? You are effectively disabling the function (using Preloader) in SM 4.2 that deletes HBC and DVDX before it even has the chance to boot up for the FIRST time. I know its mean! LOL!

NOTES

1. This tutorial should work with SM 4.1 (i.e. 3.1, 3.2, 3.4) and below but Zektor (and the scene) strongly advises you do a dump of the NAND first. If you already had BootMii in the past, you probably already have a NAND backup. Just keep it safe.

2. You can effectively use WAD Batch Installer v0.1 instead of WAD Manager. Move all the WADs from the "wad" folder to a new "installer" folder on the root of the SD card. Be careful and do not move the wads you don't want to install in the "installer" folder (i.e. IOS60, Shopping Channel). UPDATE: this errors out after so many WADs according to SpaceJump.

3. If you are attempting the "UPGRADING TO 4.2 WITHOUT HACKMII v0.5" set, make sure you use WAD Manager so you can return to HBC when completed.

Perhaps a dump question: I noticed when exiting my Homebrew Channel in the right hand corner it says: Home Brew channel 1.05 - IOS61 v19.26
I then see in the guide we are to get the latest IOS61. Is my homebrew channel installed correctly or should I do something before running this guide? I am nervous I am going to loose my Home brew Channel because we are to change IOS61.

NTSC
4.1U
Wiikey v1
Home Brew channel 1.05 - IOS61 v19.26
Bootmii - boot2 (various previous system menu backups)

I did everything in the tutorial (except installing IOS60, what do you mean by installing it as a "stub"?), and now my Wii Fit Plus NTSC isn't loading in disc channel. I patched it with BrickBlocker before burning it, and in System Menu 4.1 (before this upgrade) it loaded in the disc channel. The game itself didn't load (gave me black screen) so I had to boot it through Gecko to load the game..

But now, I'm getting the "unable to load disc" in the disc menu, with the question mark. Still works through Gecko, though!

4.2E

Just a headsup, and a question about the IOS60 ^^ Thanks for the guide, it was swell!

This list of IOS's is all IOS's that will be used when running 4.2? For example: installing the last non-stub version of IOS60 (or others) is totally useless?

And of course thanks for this nice guide!

Currently got a 4.1E wii with d2ckey. Has the HBC, and a few VC games. had the latest shop version on last month, believe it had IOS60 modified too.

Ran something last month to ensure there wasn't a stub IOS (15 maybe?) in order to run a new release last month.

Seen the 4.2 update, read this guide but a bit confused. I've no need for backup disk launcher channels, do I need to do anything other than upgrade bootmii and the HBC? Can I just run the Nintendo installer after that?
