My Wii was modded by a friend a year ago and I wanted to upgrade from 3.2 to 4.2
I tried to use the stickied guide on this site to upgrade but I was only able to install IOS70-64-v6687.wad & (I think, it was a couple of weeks ago) System Menu-NUS-v481.wad [NTSC-J = v480; PAL = v482]

Now:
-HBC channel is blank
-Official discs prompt for update
-Wii shop still says I need to update
-system says it's running 4.2U (there's the SD card icon)

Tried to redo HBC running bannerbomb for 4.2.
Once I get to the hackmii menu, it does a system check and says:
- I'm Running IOS34 4.15
- wii system menu version 481 (v30 USA) installed and that HBC has only been tested with Wii Sys Menu version 354 (V22).
I accept at my own risk and nothing happens.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get my wii working again? Someone suggested using priiloader, but I can't do that without HBC.

Thanks

What version of the hackmii installer are u using? Somehow I think it is outdated (the latest version is v0.6).
The older standalone HBC installers gave that message IIRC. He isn't even using hackmii installer.



Grab Hackmii Installer 0.6 from Bootmii.org. The stuff you're currently using is HORRIBLY outdated.
 
redownload it, I think u somehow screwed up. There's noway the hackmii installer v0.6 is giving a warning saying that its only been tested with 3.3 Wii's, no way, not when v0.6 was released specifically to counter the 4.2 update
 
I downloaded v0.6 again and got the same result. It also says that it's HBC installer v 1.0.1 if that sheds any light on anything.

Remember, I tried to upgrade to 4.2 from 3.2 previously and it didn't work. I think it might have been my WAD manager because it didn't let me install all of the files in the update package at one time. Could this be screwing things up? Or, is there something else that might be in my SD card that it's reading instead?

So, I may have figured this out on my own. There was another, older, dol on the SD card. I removed it and now I'm getting the "no vulnerable IOS" message. I'll try the fix suggested on my previously mentioned set of instructions...
 
XFlax (or anyone else):

I'm using your guide to get around the "no vulnerable IOS" error. The readme doc says to "Run Wad Manager. Choose IOS36 (if that doesn't work try IOS250) to use with the application, leave nand emulation disabled and open your SD card, then install IOS34 and IOS61"

How do I choose IOS36 to use the application? I have a screen that lists all of my wads and it looks like I can only mark and (un)install files. Does this mean that I only need to install the IOS34 and 61 now?

Thanks
 
what guide are u following?

u should have something like this (and nowhere in this do I say to select IOS36)

THIS PACKAGE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, NEITHER STATED NOR IMPLIED.
NO ONE BUT YOURSELF IS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THIS MAY CAUSE TO YOUR NINTENDO WII CONSOLE!
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!




IMPORTANT NOTES:

*This guide does NOT require a Wifi connection on your Wii.
*An SD card formatted to FAT(32) required (Best results are with non-SDHC cards, SDHC will only work on 4.0 or above).
*If you get errors during any of the steps reformat your SD card as FAT or FAT32
*Turn off WiiConnect24 and take out all gamecube memory cards/controllers when modding the Wii (unless instructed otherwise).
*If your Wii ever freezes, hold the power button on the Wii for 5 seconds to power it off then try again.
*Don’t ever accept a new Nintendo update without first googling to see if it’s safe. The last update (to 4.3) was released in late June 2010 and is NOT safe to accept. If you accept an official Nintendo update after modding the Wii, you may lose some or all of your modifications.
*Updates via homebrew or homebrew apps are safe to accept
*Never uninstall a system menu or IOS
*Do not install untested wads/themes without Bootmii or Priiloader installed.
*This custom guide is great start, but Wii modding is always evolving. Check for updates online, and remember, google is your friend.

1) LAUNCH Multi-Mod Manager (MMM)

Start the HBC and load Multi-Mod Manager (MMM). Once you've loaded MMM, move onto the next step.

If you are missing the HBC or it is failing to load any apps (just blackscreens), launch MMM via bannerbomb.

Run BannerBomb v2 by selecting the SD Card Button on the main system menu screen and choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf
Note: If it doesn't work for you, visit http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/ for more variations of either version of bannerbomb.



2) INSTALL IOS34 AND IOS61 USING Multi-Mod Manager (MMM)

In Multi-Manager Mod's main menu, Go down to select "WAD Manager".

Now install IOS34v3348 and IOS61v5661.
Navigate to each wad and hit A twice to install the IOSs individually.

Be careful not to install any additional wads that may have been previously saved in this folder (they may be safe, but I cannot say for sure).

Make sure both the files install properly.
If any failed, make a note of which ones and retry installing them.
Move onto the next step after successfully installing both wads, but do NOT exit MMM.



3) INSTALL THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL (HBC)

In MMM's main menu, select 'App Manager' and then select the HackMii_Installer.
Use the Hackmii Installer to fix/re-install the HBC. If you haven't done so already, you should also install DVDx and BootMii as IOS and as Boot2 (if possible).
Once you've successfully reinstalled the HBC, you are finished with this guide.

If you already exited MMM, you can load the HackMii_Installer from the Homebrew Channel.

If the HBC is failing to load any apps (just blackscreens), instead launch MMM using Bannerbomb (described in Step 1), then in MMM's main menu, select 'App Manager' and then select the HackMii_Installer.

This will launch the HackMii Installer, use it to reinstall your Homebrew Channel.

anyways, u can install a non-fakesigned IOS34 and 61 using any IOS, so installing those 2 files should solve your problem
