Hacking Help with cIOS Installer

[superafroboy]

Okay, so I'm new to all of this stuff, but I'm trying to get Wiigator's Backup Launcher v3 gamma running. I've downgraded my Wii from 3.3E to 3.2U, but when I try to run the cIOS Installer that is included, I get a screen prompting me to press 'A' to continue. But nothing happens when I press 'A', or any other buttons, and I have to manually power cycle the Wii.

Any suggestions?

BRICK

no really, you had a 3.3E console in canada?? and you went to 3.2u which is a ntsc firmware...

which method did u use.

 

[superafroboy]

I used the downgrader included in AnyRegion Changer 1.0

EDIT: to be honest, it was probably 3.3U... it makes more sense, I guess. I was just pulling that from memory, it didn't even clue in that the u/e was the region code.

 

[20clarky08]

yer E is Euro, J = Jap and so on...

sounds like you jus killed your console mate...if you didnt even know what the regions codes where wtf was you doing messin with downgrading...

someones else might have a suggestion, but as far as i am concerned..

BRICK

sorry

How did he brick if he said he can still boot the system menu fine?

 

[superafroboy]

Okay, first of all, the system is NOT bricked. I'm not sure if its even relevant that I downgraded or not. Either way, I can't get the cIOS Installer that came with WiiGator's Backup Launcher v3 gamma to install properly. When I press 'A' at the prompt, nothing happens.

DELETE THIS POST

MY BAD, FUCK I NEED TO STOP SMOKIN THIS SHIT...

dude i fort u ment the screen that says Press A to continue

i.e. the health screen

wtf lol


*facepalms self*

 

[superafroboy]

because he cant boot the system menu fool read the post..

the system jus hangs at the health screen...i aint sayin its a total brick..but its definatley fucked now isnt it smart arse.

I don't remember saying this. The console is NOT bricked. I think you had my description of what is happening with the cIOS Installer confused with the Wii startup.

 

[daxtsu]

There's no need to get aggressive, mate. Reread the creator's posts.

 

[superafroboy]

If it helps at all, when I run the hombrew channel and press home it says IOS36 v4.18 in the top right...

 

[daxtsu]

Do you have a wifi/network connection set up, btw? The installer needs a wifi/network connection as far as I know.

 

[superafroboy]

Yes the wifi/network connection is set up. I'm pretty sure it was required in the downgrade process... I've been reading a few other things while waiting for replies, and I saw Starfall mentioned in a step by step guide being installed before the cIOS. Is it related in any way, and should I try installing that first?

 

[ether2802]

install starfall only if you are in 3.2 now, did you run also the IOS Downgrader 1.0..?? and if you really are in 3.2 (I mean IOS Downgrader 1.0 already done) just use Wad Manager (if you know how to) and install the file on my signature...!!!

 

[superafroboy]

I'm having some trouble finding the IOS Downgrader 1.0, all I can seem to find is the Customer IOS downgrader... any help?

 

[daxtsu]

Correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am, but I think they're the same program.

 

[superafroboy]

Okay, i ran IOS Downgrader 1.0, so now I install the file from you sig, then do I run the cIOS v7 installer? or is the file in your sig an alternative?

 

[daxtsu]

It's the same thing as the installer, if I'm not mistaken. Use Wad Manager to install it.

 

[superafroboy]

Alright, I used the WAD manager to install it... is there any way I can easily confirm if it worked?

 

[daxtsu]

Try your backup loader channel/dol.

 

[superafroboy]

i don't have any backups to test it with, when I launch the backup loader, as long as I don't see any errors, can i assume it is installed correctly?
