Just to let you know xzxero, the link for 4.2 (newmod.rar) is wrong in the email. Can i get the correct link from you?

3] Run Dop-IOS MOD
Choose IOS249 and press A.
Press right until you see IOS60.
Press - to select then press yes to install and Sig Hash Check.
Press right until you see IOS61.
Press A to select then press yes to install and no for Sig Hash Check.
Press home to return to HBC.
I have the new mod.rar for 3.x-4.1 NTSC modding.

When I start Dop-IOS MOD, it asks "Which IOS would you like to use to install other IOSs?"
To which I respond with IOS249.

It then says "IOS succesfully loaded" and takes me to a screen that says "Are you sure you want to install IOS36 v3351?"
Your instructions do not mention this part, and I do not want to assume anything. Could you please clear this up?

btw, I've been looking through previous posts, and I haven't seen a clear answer yet.

ok looks like im ready to softmod my wii..
quick question before I do.
1) I don't have an SDHC memory card on me right.. can I instead use a "Mirco SD adapter" which has 2gb space?
2) The guide mentions that it will update the wii to 4.2?.. currently 4.0u will it have any effect? cause I know fw 4.2 wipes HB

I have a 4.2u wii that I need to get downgraded. I unpacked the newmod.rar to SD and when trying to do the Bannerbomb exploit, I dont get the "would you like to boot load.dol", I get no screen and a "?" as one of the available selections.

Any thoughts?

1.turn on wii
2.press a
3.point wiimote at SD card icon at bottom of menu. u know the one on the bottom left.
4. press a
5.insert your SD card the SD card with banner bomb on it.
6.when you see "would you like to boot load.dol" select yes
7. follow on screen directions after that


I figured out what I was doing wrong. Before this, I was trying to access the boot.dol in the channels menu and not thru the quick launch from the main screen.

Worked like a charm! I am back up and running again! MUCH THANKS!

now the question is that I don't have bootmii or anything installed
I should first install hackmii then move onto 1A?
