Hacking Firmware Updater 4.0

[cthg]

Not much you can do then besides trying savemefrii... Do a search for it. Savemii might also work.

This is the #1 reason why nobody should be touching this update for now untill we have a SAFE install.

I don't have a mod chip though so would I be able to do anything i.e. run a custom made autoboot disk?

Wait so SaveMii lets you boot an official disk and install a clean version of official firmware?

I used this earlier today and got a few surprises . THIS PATCHES TRUCHA IN ALL YOUR OLD IOS FILES , hence multigames discs and gh customs or any trucha signed stuff that need a low numbered IOS wont work .
I went back to 3.2 and still had no trucha ...

I got my 3.2 working properly again with trucha after applying waninkokos Cios downgrader .

3.2 for me until a proper installer shows up

could someone who is still on 4.0 and has the trucha problem try to install cios downgrader while on 4 ?
that might be enough to get trucha back for gh customs and multigame discs while on 4.0

the updater 4.0 does NOT patch trucha in old IOS, all it does is install the IOS needed for 4.0 system menu -- 60, 61, 4.0 sys menu, a patched IOS 60 will allow you to pass the error messages in the disc channel when you insert a trucha signed disc. ONCE AGAIN I CAN PERFECTLY PLAY CUSTOM GH DISCS on my chipped wii.

The reason your backups load through disc channel is because you have a chipped Wii softmodded wii can't load backups through disc channel anymore.

Hi Guys.

Since my Wii have the Wiikey modchip, I'm not worried with Backup Launchers (I dont have none), but still, I have some questions.

My Wii have the following settings:
- Wiikey installed;
- HomeBrew Channel Installed;
- Firmware 3.3E modded (something about the Shop Channel);
- None Wads installed or costume Channels but HBC;

1- It's safe to update using this Updater by Waninkoko?

2- If I update using this firmware, I'm still going to have the 002 problem?! I use Gecko OS to boot this games, but it will be cool to boot them directly from Disc Channel.

3- If my last question answear is YES, what should I do to resolve this problem?

4- Everything should work right?! I'm talking about HBC apps, Disc Channel, System Menu, etc ...

5- With this Updater, could Nintendo update automatically my Wii?! I've read about this on the update before 4.0.

Thanks for the attention

what are the cons of this besides besides killing starfall/preloader

is dvdx killed as well?
and what of the pirated channels we already have installed?

 

[koji2009]

Dvdx is fine if it's already installed on your wii. You can't install dvdx after 4.0

Pirated channels will work on the wii, but won't work through SD unless you patch IOS 60


DarkLG: Actually you can already load through disc channel if you use waninko's menupatcher, but it's a program you'd have to run each time you start your wii. There will probably be a more permanent fix like cIOScorps in a few days.

I always get

Downloading "System Menu 4.0U", please wait...
>> Downloading content #12... ERROR! (ret = -1)

ALWAYS

ALWAYS

Me too, except the content # changes (It's usually when downloading IOS38, though. I heard that it may be because you don't have enough free system memory, so try deleting some VC/Wiiware games. I have about 500 free blocks and I still keep getting the ret = -1 error.

EDIT: I've tried it every day for the last few days and I keep getting this error. Does anyone know why? I've probably tried at least 50 times by now, and it's exceedingly frustrating.

noob Q.
if i install 4.0 and i have a modchip
will my wii brick?

 

[silentdan]

Hey everyone!
I upgraded my console which i previously used the twilight hack and downgraded to 3.2u.Today i used waninkokos uprgrader 4.0 and the patched IOS60.wad.
Everything went smooth and i had the SD card icon in my system menu.Then tried to boot in to pre loader but it was not working.So i downloaded preloader 0.29 and installed it and also copied the the hacks.ini for 4.0 on the root of the sd card.
I was able to get in pre loader now and activate the options for blocking updates and such.
My official and unofficial wads work strait from the SD card which i love by the way.The only problem i have is some of my backup games i have show up in the disc channel but when i run them i get a message telling my to eject the disc and restart the wii.This happens with some of the backups,the others work fine with disc channel.The ones that dont run in disk channel i have to play them with backup loader.

Does anyone have an idea why is this happening?When i was on 3.2u with twilight hack every backup game i have was working fine with disc channel.

Cheers!
