Hacking d2x v8 install failing (network problem?)

[shinkodachi]

Trying to get USB Loader GX working on a Wii. System Menu 4.3E installed, HBC 1.1.2 installed through LetterBomb exploit, using d2x-cios-installer 3.1 and v8 final. Trying install with base IOS 56 on 249, but the end result is one of the following:

1. "net_init failed" (usually trying again in a few minutes this goes away)
2. "net_gethostbyname failed: -6" repeatedly on the screen
3. It looks like tmd.5661 starts downloading and installation happens, but then fails and I'm back to the slot selection

My Wii has a consistent network connection and I tried resetting my router: no problems there. Since I use a Mac, I can't use NUS Downloader and the guides I found to get it to work on Mac by recompiling were incomplete and outdated. So I can't download the necessary WADs for offline install (i.e. IOS56-64-v5661.wad and IOS57-64-v5918.wad).

What are my options?

You can get those cios wads from modmii look for beta section in cios section.

ModMii installer? Downloads as an .EXE which I can't run on Mac. Or am I missing something?

EDIT: And I'm trying the WAD method now... we'll see how it goes

You should have hbc 1.1.0 installed to a wii, not hbc 1.1.2.

look here and download the previous version - v1.0, it's in small print right under the description for the v1.2

I don't understand how this relates to my problem, can you please elaborate? In the changelog I didn't notice anything significant http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel#1.1.2. AFAIK HBC affects IOS58 anyway, but for installation IOS36/IOS236 is required and that could be key to why the d2x installation is failing. I don't have a patched IOS236 installed.

Right now I'm trying another method, getting the WADs off my Wii using bluedump. Most of the utilities I've found are for Windows only that would make this much easier (ModMii, NUS Downloader, etc.). Let's see how it goes.

Some wii homebrew may need an update to run correctly with the homebrew channel v1.1.2. I cannot say for sure that the d2x cIOS installer needs an update to work correctly with hbc 1.1.2, but you are having problems with it, and the only way to know if the hbc is the problem is to install the hbc version that the app was coded to work with. On another note, some people had problems with the network install of the d2x cIOS installer (even before hbc 1.1.2 was released), so you may need an alternate method of acquiring the ios wads for a wad install.

Just can't get nothing to work. bluedump 0.4a crashed and I have no WAD method yet.

Here's the thing, I have used this same setup previously to install d2x v6 on IOS249 with base IOS37. And I tried that method again, overwriting the IOS249 slot. It doesn't work either. So I can't install v8 or v6. What did I do wrong?

try this version of the bluedump

All HBC version since 1.0.7 are working fine, as long as it's compatible with AHB access.
1.1.2 is not needed, but you can install it on wii without problem.

There's nothing like "specific homebrew for 1.1.2".
Do you have any link to such homebrew so I can learn and help other users better next time?

That's the one I tried after 0.4a.

So here's the situation: the same files on the same SD card aren't working anymore. d2x-cios-installer won't even install v6 on IOS249 with base IOS37 as I had initially. Now I want IOS249 with base IOS56 and IOS250 with base IOS57 for better compatibility, but as it stands my I can't get ANY cIOS on my Wii. I'm out of luck.

 

[stomp_442]

sounds bad. I would copy everything from the SD card and re-format it, also re-download the apps that aren't working and install fresh apps. Surely you have IOS236 installed to your Wii, maybe reinstalling that may help, and make sure you are using IOS236 to run bluedump and the d2x installer. Maybe posting a syscheck may help.

It's been so long since I've seen it, I have read somewhere once that somethings that work on a wii with hbc 1.1.0 will not work with hbc 1.1.2, what was included I cannot say since I cannot remember.

edit - the first time I got a code dump on the hbc screen with hbc 1.1.2 installed was the last time I used hbc 1.1.2 on my regular wii.

FIXED THE ISSUE.

For some reason I had removed the meta.xml file of the d2x-cios-installer. That caused these problems.

I wonder if changing something in the meta.xml would have allowed it to work for you.

Removing the meta.xml, I'll have to remember that one, good to see you got it to work.

 

[dannyhighfill123]

I'm having some trouble same problem. I have all files meta.xml file also when i download gives error

1. "net_init failed" (usually trying again in a few minutes this goes away)
2. "net_gethostbyname failed: -6" repeatedly on the screen
3. It looks like tmd.5661 starts downloading and installation happens, but then fails and I'm back to the slot selection

Use the updated installer, or use modmii to build the cios in wad form and install using a wad manager
