Hacking Everything's connected, now what?

[Sharkface]

I'm at a loss.

Everything is plugged in, but the readme makes no sense to me.

===============================
d2pro v1.3 update - 15/19 wires
===============================

This software is provided as-is, with no warranties of any kind.
If you use this software, you do so at your own risk!

=======
WARNING
=======

*** Do not update installed chips with diode shorted! ***

The diode prevents current from d2prog from flowing to the d2c chip.
If the diode has been shorted the d2c chipmay be permanently damaged.

There is no need to short the diode. If shorting the diode "solved" any problems
you are most likely using too long and/or too thin wires for 3v3 and GND.

Thank you for using d2pro!


=====
Fixes
=====

- Fixed a media detection bug that caused certain pressed discs not to
load properly

- Fixed a bug that caused the drive to sometimes reset on eject, making it
difficult to eject discs

============
Instructions
============

1. If the d2pro chip is already installed in a Wii console then
disconnect the power cable.

2. Disconnect d2prog from the USB cable.

3. Connect the flat flexible cable to d2prog (and to d2pro if you have
not done so already).


Be VERY CAREFUL when connecting the cable and make sure that is in

place properly. If the cable is misaligned and the Vcc (power) and

ground lines are shorted d2pro or d2prog could be damaged.


4. Connect the USB cable to d2prog.

5. Run the updater software. It can be run without parameters for

fully interactive mode, or with the following switches:


usage: ./d2prog [-v] [-n] [-y] [-f ]

-v verify only

-n flash only, don't verify

-y start flashing immediately

-f select firmware


Run without parameters for fully interactive mode.


-h brings up the help.


6. Disconnect USB cable and then d2prog. (done!)

Where do the drivers go, and what the hell do I do next? The updater flashes a window for a split second and nothing happens.

Help. > >

Do you have to open the Wii up every time you want to update the chip?

Do you have to open the Wii up every time you want to update the chip?

Yep.

 

[fischju]

Run > cmd (opens command prompt)
Follow my motto, and put all of the update files on C:
In the command promt, type 'cd ..' without quotations until you reach C:
Run the updater by typing in the name, with extension

Yep.

Nope. You could leave the flat cable attched to the d2pro and route it to the outside of the case. Then when you need to update just connect the end of the flat cable to the d2prog and the d2prog to the pc.

Nothing happens when I do that.

I run d2prog and it just... sorta doesn't do anything else.

Try it on a different pc. Also make sure when you plug in the d2prog to the pc don't let windows detect the driver. Use the appropriate driver from d2pro's site.

Okay... I got the d2prog menu and all
and I started to work everything in.
But, I keep getting a verify error.
It erased and flashed something... then it stopped at verify and told me there was an error.

And I know the update didn't work, because eject error wasn't fixed.

And the chips data comes up with unknown firmware (which is probably because I haven't updated the firmware from time of purchase. > >)

> > Yeah, I tried again, and the verify just won't go.

D2pro's website gives no help, either.
