how many times have ppl bricked their wii over this exact same situation? I swear I've seen like 10 cases over the past few months (installed ios60bf, found preloader saying corrupt, uninstalled ios60)

isn't there some sticky telling people not do do this?

Maybe perloader should give a better error message to avoid this situation. Something like:

Wrong IOS version detected (version xxxf), install version xxxd.
Do not remove IOS or system will be bricked.

Or people could start reading all notes saying DON'T EVER UNINSTALL IOS other than cIOS249.

Exactly. Only every backup-launcher/SoftMii/CORP thread ever has seen this. No offense, dude, but in the future, use my golden rules:

1) Install BootMii FIRST. ALWAYS.
2) Preloader next, for hacks and that extra warm blanket of protection.
3) Whatever you were intending on doing.

I have never done anything with preloader or cioscorp but I can definitely see why this keeps happening as other people have mentioned.

Even if I know that 60 is the system menu (and some people don't) unless someone told me otherwise I would almost definitely be under the impression that if I installed a custom 60 then my original 60 would be safe.

I might think to myself, I installed custom 60, original 60 should still be there, so it shouldn't hurt me if I just remove the custom 60 to make my system work again.

And it isn't as explicit like it would be in Anytitledeleter "IOS60"
It's just, remove wad? (cios60bf) or whatever

there is no other way i could think of so just send it to nintendo and say you tried to play punch-out or something and then your screen turned black. It worked for me.
