    I downgraded my Wii to 3.2 and installed Preloader.
    Now sometimes when I go to my system menu it says that it is corrupted. Note: that is only sometimes.
    I don't know what to do to fix this.

    anyone know what to do?

    I'd try reinstalling 3.2 or updating to 4.0

    But before trying anything, install BootMii to boot2 (If you can) and back up your NAND

    Should I update thrue Nintendo or use a homebrew app?
    If I should use a homebrew app which one?

    Do you have to buy BootMii?

    I have hackmii in the apps folder in my SD card but it's not showing up in the homebrew channel...

    Did you rename "installer.elf" to "boot.elf"?

    It goes to your SD card as "NAND.bin"

    I get an errer that has this repeted several times: (it looks like)

    WARNING: ECC failure at page 138
    WARNING: ECC failure at page 139
    WARNING: ECC failu
    But lot's of them...

    and at the end it says this:
    Runtime files will be written, these are required to
    properly boot BootMii.

    Mounting SD card...
    Creating directory '/bootmii'...
    Writing '/bootmii/armboot.bin'...
    Writing '/bootmii/ppcboot.elf'...
    Writing config file...

    Done.

    Erasing NAND block 3
    Writing NAND block 3
    Verifying NAND block 3 to block 0 of BootMii
    Erasing NAND block 4
    Writing NAND block 4
    Verifying NAND block 4 to block 1 of BootMii
    But nothing is on my SD card that says NAND...

    You wont have the nand file on your sd card until you actually make a backup of the nand with bootmii.
    All the above stuff did was install bootmii to boot2 thats why it was erasing/writing/verifying the nand.

    load bootmii and navigate to the settings menu and you will see an option for backing up the nand.

    You have to use the power/reset/eject button on the wii to navigate through the bootmii menu unless you have
    a gamecube controller.
