Hi there, guide worked kind of good for me. I am having all sorts of issues however.
I cannot load any backups through a usb loader. My DVD drive on my Wii is super dead so I can't test them out that way. Using some games that work for a friend who has a same gen wii and did the same steps as me.
I'm getting "A problem has occured..." so and so (not the 002 bug) any time trying to load them.
Also, this is probably unrelated, but I am getting a stack dump each time I try to load anything off of my USB external harddrive, which is unrelated to the prior issue.
Thanks.

why does my sd card suddenly display as a question mark? it didnt at first but then it did. I reformatted it and it worked fine in the pc, but the wii reports it as a question mark for no apparent reason. There was nothing about this in either this guide or the noob section.

Gah, is the Wii bitchy about what kinda card you insert?

In my own Wii, I used a SanDisk 8GB SDHC-card without a problem.

Friend of mine is using a 4GB SDHC-card, and when he's entering the Wii settings - channels - SD, it says "the device inserted in the SD-slot cannot be used"
He's on 4.2E

The card read just fine with other stuff on it.. He's using the latest bannerbomb, could this problem be caused by the SD-slot itself, or something else?
It's also formatted to FAT

Cheers!

Do you safe remove your memory devices. I noticed a difference with the Wii you can't but If I took the SD card out of the Wii with the Home Brew channel running my PC wouldn't read it. Do you have your folder options to show hidden files, and folders. It sounds stupid, but blow on it sometimes a little condensation helps.

I will explain this a bit better. When I load hackmii from the SD card in the main menu, it runs fine and looks just as it does in the tutorial. HBC can be installed, DVDX can be installed, and Bootmii can only be installed as an IOS. since the first step is to install HBC I do that and it gives me this.

also if i uninstall homebrew has my wii returned to its original state? im thinking maybe not and thats why it wont read that data on the card.
because i can load save games off the sd card fine, it just doesnt recognize the homebrew files like it did before. How can i get my wii back to exactly as it was before i messed with this stuff? so i can try again on a fresh system????????????

Ok so I'm one of the lucky people who got the "There is no known vulnerable IOS installed on this Wii." error. I read through a good amount of the thread and found the solutions to fix this error but it just wont work.
Ok so I had my Wii hacked but one of my dumbshit friends borrowed it and accidentally updated it to 4.2, my back up loader and my HBC were still there but of course it wouldn't boot games from the disc channel. So I had cIOScorp 3.4 on it and tried to uninstall it but I would run it and a black screen would come up. Then i tried dopIOS and did the same thing. I ran the Restore Trucha Bug but I would get an error every time. So if anyone could help me I would really really appreciate it.

Thanks for this great Guide!

I have run into a snag. I am trying to upgrade from 4.0U with home brew and Bootmi already installed as boot2. In step one, after installing IOS70-64-v6687.wad, I go to install the System Menu-NUS-v480.wad (for ntsc) however on part #09 it gives me a ret - 1022 error. when rebooting I get no output from my wii of any sort, tv show no source. I can boot into Bootmi and restore my nand backup but when trying again I get the same error and have to redo the backup.

Any help would be much appreciated.

First off I wanna say thanks for the great guide! I've read over it a few times and I think I'm ready to put it to use tonight after work.

I do have a pretty straight forward queston thought. A lot of the information I've read talks about people having trouble updating the LU64+ Wiis. I know at the beginning of this guide it states that this works for ALL wiis except for Korean. I just want to make sure that this will work on my LU64 no problem, is that correct? Thanks in advance!

don't worry do this if ever your HBC will be upside down: http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/other-stuff/fix-hbc

edit: btw just don't patch the ios used by HBC to avoid this.

maybe you should relate the specifics on what you have done so far so that a more concrete suggestion will be shared to you not only by me but also by others who know the solution to your issue.
