Hacking HELP!!

[gamerjr]

Ok basically i havent done anything with IOS's for awhile but today when i went to go boot USB loader it wont boot, then i tried again and again and then other programs but anything i try just ends up with a black screen, ive tried unplugging and everything i can think of, retail copies still run and i can access HBC, Bootmii, and the Wii menu but thats about it. And i really dont want to recover from back in July for the 3rd time... Any ideas?

Did you update to 4.2?

 

[gamerjr]

Yeah, awhile ago.

[edit]

I hope you ment the safe way not by Ninty

 

[jazvdb]

Then you have stubbed IOS now search, since you're not a noob...

 

[gamerjr]

Its not that, unless someone ran something they shouldn't have. Ill go check.

 

[jazvdb]

Updating to 4.2 will cause you to have stubbed IOSs

 

[gamerjr]

I updated a long time ago and had no problems til today.

Is there a way to fix it w/o restoring the NAND? there is just 2 save files i really want to keep and i cant copy them over due to WiFi.

 

[longtom1]

just copy the saves to the sd card and restore your nand all you have to do is play the game once and and then delete from the wii and then copy from sd card

Naruto and SSBB wont copy over due to the WiFi capabilities.

 

[longtom1]

do you not have pre/priiloader and the copy protection hack

 

[gamerjr]

never got around to priiloader after 4.2

 

[longtom1]

did you update the shop channel recently

 

[gamerjr]

Um through the 4.2 safe update way i believe.

 

[longtom1]

only thing i could say to try is running dop-ios mod v9gp via HBC or try bannerbomb and check your ios's make sure to check the version numbers of 249, 222 and 223

 

[gamerjr]

Ok, i got bannerbomb to run, ill just start back at 3.2 where i know how to get to 4.2.

 

[gamerjr]

Nvm, i tried running DOP ios, and Any Region Changer and all i got was a black screen, but for some reason when i first did it WAD manager ran... how can i use this to my advantage?

[edit]

ok apparently it was only that version or something that runs because i ran 1.5 and it didnt work at all. and i threw away the old one.

 

[gamerjr]

Ok, well i have this idea of making a current NAND backup extracting it and then putting in my saves, 2 questions though, can this be done? And where are the saves at?
