Hacking How To Hack Wii Console For Dummies /Easy Installer

[BIG MOE]

I seem to be having problems at just about every step of this installation, so I hope I haven't broken anything...
The Zelda hack/HBC install went fine, then, when attempting to run Wad Manager 1.3, all I got was a black screen. I tried it a few times, then tried letting it sit for about 10 minutes. I looked around and found another version of Wad Manager 1.3 that worked.

Using that version of 1.3, I installed the first wad pack fine. Then, I had error -1305 installing the fix. I attempted to use AnyTitleDeleter, and had an error ("Ticket delete failed (No ticket?) -102 -Deleting title file /blah blah blah.... Error ! ISFS_Delete(ret =-102)"). I decided to try cIOS unstallers, and both of them just black screen as the original Wad Manager 1.3 did... My wii firmware is 3.4U, if that matters, and I'm fairly stuck.

ok first of all when using WMv1.3 you should install IOS16 not a Wad Pack ???? and after that to install cIOS_Fix you chould use CustomWadManager referred to it as CWM and it should install the cIOS_Fix , to have no errors please read the instructions thoroughly so you will not have problems to blame it on the installer , and I hope you haven't broken anything as you wished

, so try CWM and install cIOS_Fix and post the results back please

Sorry if I was unclear, I was trying to run cIOS fix in the CWM when I got the -1035 error. I just tried it again and get the same error: >> Installing title... ERROR! (ret = -1035).

It was in attempts to fix this error that I'd tried AnyTitleDeleter/cIOS Uninstallers (v1.1 & 1.0).

that's ok buddy , just try it a few times each and alternate in between it till one of it work , this is a Wii bug in 3.4 system menu and still no solid way to fix it but trying this method , and the problem it only applies on a few Wii systems that we encountered so far and unfortunately yours is one of those systems

Trying alternating between which? the delete/uninstallers, or between CWN and something else?

Also, would formatting my Wii at this point give me a clear shot at an install, or would the custom IOSes stick around?

alternate between all choices , and formatting is a good option

You can't (yet) as 4.0 won't allow installation of HBC via TPH. Therefore, you can't presently downgrade a 4.0 without having a cIOS previously installed. See what the big dogs have to say in this thread for more info.

[BIG MOE]

ok here is some info ( and my advice is don't update yet - DON'T UPDATE - to 4.0 ) some tests I've tried so far shows a various results on 4 Wiis I have here , upgrading from a hack free system to 4.0 will block all abilities for homebrew and backup loading since TPH and HBC are not installing

, however updating from 3.2 or 3.3v2 with softmods gave various results as I said , TPH is gone but HBC still there !! WadManagerv1.3 and USB2.0 still running including Softchip and Gamma channels even playing backups from DC no problem ,however IOSDowngrader worked on one but not the other though cIOSDowngrader worked on both back to 3.2 so further tests I'm doing now and I'll keep you updated , peace

I'm having a bit of a hard time with the Wiishop Channel.I searched this thread and couldn't find anyone who had the same thing happen to them, so unfortunately I'm going to have to bother you with this BigMoe....
I loaded the IOS51 and the WiiShop Installer and everything seemed to go fine. But when I clicked on the WiiShop Channel, it would tell me to go into system settings and upgrade. So I went through the two installation procedures again and now when I click on the WiiShop Channel it brings me back to the Wii menu...

I installed the Installer V3 and everything else is working great....just this one little glitch...

Any ideas?

 

[crystalklear64]

Having the same issue as you tpyke.

Click Shop Channel, transitions to the black and grey "tv" loading screen, then straight back to the Wii Menu.

 

[dkmaster]

Big Moe thank you for your effort and your answer to my pm. Keep up the good work.

 

[BIG MOE]

you welcome buddy , and for the WiiShop channel there is another update after SM4.0 so this will be resolved in v4 coming to release soon , sorry been very busy between work and all the testing on the new great releases for the past week

Thank you Big Moe for the v3 installer. Just after going through the whole install and it went perfect. The only step that was different was when you install the IOS51, there was no options, rather than yes, yes, no as per your guide!!

 

[viperlogic]

as above ive used your v3 installer. im looking now to install the usb loader v1.1 and the tutorial http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144349 says to install IOS36-64-v1042.wad. Will this mess up the v3 installation in anyway? still new to this!

Hi,
Excellent guide and excellent advice.
I have read the whole thread so far and I could do with some advice before I carry on.
My Wii is a PAL machine with 3.4E firmware.

I previously followed Wii Softmodding for Dummies v2.2:

I installed the Zelda Hack and Homebrew channel, used WAD Manager 1.3 to install IOS16.WAD and then restarted Wii
Used Wad Manager for IOS16 to install CIOS_249.WAD and the Backchannel.WAD
Reset Wii and this time used Wad Manager 1.3 again to install Geckos OS with 002 Fix.WAD, IOS38-64-v3609.wad, IOS53-64-v4113.wad and IOS55-64-v4633.wad and reset the Wii again.

I use GeckOS to launch to PAL backups works fine and gives me no problems but it sounds like downgrading to 3.2E and installing starfall is a good idea, especially as I have as done the above for a couple of my non-techie friends and I am afraid they might brick they machine.

I think all I need to do is run the CIOS Downgrader to get to 3.2E and then install Starfall but can someone confirm that is that case before I continue.
Do I still need to install the IOS downgrader or I can I do straight to the CISO Downgrader?
Once I downgrade to 3.2E will I need to reinstall my existing WADs, like the Geckos or my VC games?

Sorry if the above are silly questions. I only got into the Wii homebrew scene two weeks ago so I am playing catch up really. I don't mind taking risks with my own Wii but I want to be sure before I do anything on my friends machines.
Thanks in advance.

this option was fixed and the installer does that for you

you mean installing cIOS36_rev9 from IOS36-64-v1042.wad , if that is the case it's alright

I will try that tonight on my Wii and test it for a few days before doing it on my friends machine. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks Big Moe :-)
