Basically, I read somewhere that it was safe to update to 4.2, since the new bannerbomb was released. So I did so thinking that I would just be able to follow the 4.2 simplistic mod to get everything up and running. However, when i go to the sd card menu, its starts to load bannerbomb, then it goes to a screen saying "that Hackmii can not install, there are no vulnerable ios, blah blah blah...". I saw that one solution is to install ios36 via mad manager. But what if I cant access my wad manager because i no longer have the homebrew channel. Am i screwed? Or can i try the indiana pwns method? or does this too require ios36? any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys!

I quote from zektor 'Use DOP-IOS and download/install IOS30 with NO patching and try again.' You can run the DOP-IOS boot.dol with bannerbomb instead of the Hackmii one I believe

wow, you guys are quick. i am now googling for info on the DOP-IOS. im confused though when you say "You can run the DOP-IOS boot.dol with bannerbomb instead of the Hackmii one I believe", does that mean that i would choose dop-ios from the sd card menu? if anyone can link me to the right page for this, that would be cool. however, like i said, i'm looking around.

bannerbomb works like this.

Wii starts, you run the SD Card menu and Bannerbomb is loaded.

Bannerbomber looks for boot.dol in sd card root.
So you can have ANY homebrew renamed to boot.dol (if they are dol file) and they will boot so yes it will work =)

wow, i'm frustrated. guys, i hate to ask. i've been reading everything i can find since my last post. my eyes feel like theyre gonna bleed. once i load up dop ios, what is it that i am trying to accomplish. there are so many options... i have no idea what to pick. there is very limited info on this subject. at least in the way it pertains to me.

So yeah. Basically once DOP-IOS is working, scroll to the left til you find IOS30, download and reintall it and do NOT patch it.

when i try to do that it says something along the lines of "1/15 downloading.... (SD card) Bad hash" and it'll send me back to the system menu. am i supposed to have something else on the sd card that its trying to read?? this really sucks. i've got a hard drive with over 300gb of games, and no way to get to them. my kids are DRIVING ME INSANE!

Just 2 cents, in my case restoring a clean IOS30 wasn't enough (it froze on "this software is not for sale" screen)
I had to reinstall a clean IOS34 and then all went fine. (yes, 34)
Later,

lol... i agree vetta. hash is like pizza... no matter how bad, its still pretty damn good.

on a side note, i did try applying the sig hash, and the patch, all to no avail.
