hold on, are u saying u updated to 4.2 via nintendo, then ran hackmii installer v0.6 using bannerbomv v2, and you are getting a no vulnerable IOS message?
The no vulnerable IOS message, is typically the result of installing cIOSCORP. The solution for this is to run dopIOS to install a sane IOS (IOS30 v1040 works). Now you should be able to run the installer.
However, if what you're saying is true, and you didn't install cIOSCORP, it doesn't make sense for you to be getting this error. Are you sure this is this the first time you tried modding the wii? ie, is this a virgin 4.2 wii?

make sure u've installed IOS70patchedfreethebugs.wad, then go ahead and install preloader 0.29 JODI or preloader 0.30 (this is still in the beta stages, so unless u have bootmii installed as boot2, hold off on the new preloader). You also need IOS36 to be patched, but presumably u've already done that by following xzxero's guide and using TBR

I had homebrew I updated to 4.2 then formated the wii I thought that would give me a chance to start from scratch but looks like i stil get the no vulnerable IOS
I don't have nand backup that is what I was going to creak this time around
preloader not working after update
and same with bootmii

Let this be a lesson to all the cIOSCORP users out there, cIOSCORP screws people up!
-well, i hate the bring the bearer of bad news, but without bootmii, preloader or homebrew, there is no way (as far as I know) to install a sane IOS via wad manager or dopIOS.
-what confuses me is that updating to 4.2 did not replace your IOSs (and effectively remove cIOSCORP). I would try updating again (if possible), it should update your IOSs, allowing you to run hackmii installer. If you can't update via nintendo because ur already at 4.2.... u may have to wait until a 4.3 update to remove cIOSCORP and rehack ur wii. The only other solution would be getting a mod chip... but ew... who wants a mod chip?
Again, these are my thoughts, not facts, but i'm confident in them... so good luck.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
-
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
