[felixdaman18]

I try to install preloader, but it says failed to get root I press +

If you didn't have the IOS 60, you couldn't boot the System Menu, as the firmware 4.1 uses it to be loaded. I thought that app was an updater, instead of an installer. Have you tried to run the v0.30 installer from phpgeek & Daco after you've installed the v0.29?

Yup install 0.29 first then install 0.30.

EDIT: Apparently Preloader 0.29 auto patches IOS60 post was changed.

Yup install .29 first then install .30. You'll need a patched IOS 60 installed to install Preloader on 4.0 or 4.1. Sorry no linking to downloads of the patched IOS60 WAD.

Doesn't the original Preloader v0.29 installer ES_Identify patch the IOS 60? As far as I know, it doesn't matter if the IOS is trucha bugged or not...

Guys, I tried to install preloader 0.29, but I got this error “failed to get ROOT, current IOS(36) has the fakesign bug fixed”
I am on ios 61 according to the homebrew channel
could you guys give me a tip and a good link to the preloader 0.29 and 0.30?

use trucha bug restorer then try reinstalling preloader, also, preloader .30 is out, but if u choose to use 0.29, be sure to get the JODI version (assuming u have the new homebrew channel, and if u dont, u really should get it)

if you're on 4.0 or 4.1, any version will work
if you're on 4.2, make sure to use TBR version 1.1 or 1.0 MOD
if on 4.2, be sure to install ios70packedfreethebugs.wad before installing preloader, otherwise you will get a system files corrupted message

system menu IOS still needs to have the ES_Identity bug in preloader 0.30 rev 4. Daco is working on a version that doesn't need it, but the initial release is buggier than preloader 0.30 rev 4, so either wait for a more stable version that doesn't require the ES Patched IOS, or patch it.

****, i installed an ios 60 patch and my wii is bricked. I get a black screen when I turn it on.

 

[XFlak]

let me guess, u used wiiscu 0.21? don't install the latest version of the IOS, its a stub.

why would u install an IOS 60 patch anyways? I never told u to do that, preloader 0.29 auto patches IOS 60, but it needs a trucha bugged IOS36 to do it.

if u dont have bootmii as boot2, or any version of preloader installed, and u r on system menu 4.0 and 4.1 YOU WILL BRICK IF you install IOS60 stub (latest version of the ios). The only way to fix this, is to get a drivekey mod chip and hope u can fix it.

Ive just this minute installed preloader just install .29 then use the the .30 installer and it will update it

 

[XFlak]

yes that will work, and assuming preloader 0.29 was running fine, 0.30 should run fine also. But if you're on sys menu 4.2, be sure to install IOS70patchedfreethebugs.wad first
