Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

[icebrg5]

Just get pre/priiloader or startpatch and use the hack to block disc updates.The new mario game only has 4.1 update on it anyway so all it would do is update your ios files that are outdated it wouldn't brick your wii at all.There are no games that contain a 4.2 update on disc yet.

Here are the detailed steps of what I did.

I updated my wii to 4.2u through nintendo before trying to mod it.
So I went to the Modify 4.2 section.
Put modify.zip on my 2GB Fat32 formatted SD card.
Installed HBC, DVDX & set Bootmii as IOS.
Made a NAND backup. Then put Bootmii, NAND.bin, & keys.bin on my PC.
Then I erased these three from the SD Card as the instruction state. ( Is this part right?)
Next I try to restore the Trucha Bug
Went to HBC & ran DOP-IOS MOD v10.
Selected an IOS that accepts fakesigning.
Pressed B to choose no IOS reload
Chose Downgrade IOS15
(Here it said preparing downgrade of IOS15 from revision: 523 to: 257 getting IOS15 rev 523.... Load from sd card>)
I pushed the A button it it ran and said getting IOS15 rev527.... Load from sd card>
I pushed A again and it ran and said it was returning to the loader and said to select IOS36 when you return. Press A to exit
So I exited and went back into DOP-I0S MOD. Got to the IOS36 menu and selected the settings the directions called for and
selected to install the patched IOS36
It said Getting IOS36 revision 351... Load IOS from SD card>
So I pressed A
after it loaded it said prepartions complete Installing.....
Then it said ES and Titlestart returned -2011 you need to use an IOS with Trucha bug. Thats what the ISO15 downgrade is good for... IOS36 installation failed Press A to return to loader.


In the directions on restoring the trucha bug it said after the dowgrade IOS15 and load IOS from SD to Choose IOS15 & press A. (important) Wait till it says Press 1 the press it.
I never got the message to press 1

I know I am a super newb.

Thanks in advance for any help

I tried to softmod my wii with firmware 4.0E.
Few weeks ago i softmodded a black wii with good results!

But now i'm stuck at the first step.
The bannerbomb...
I downloaded almost all versions (v108) on the website. http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/index.old.php
Nothing works.

Put the downloaded files with the boot.elf onto the SD.
When i go to the SD menu, the wii freezes.

What version do i have to use ??

If you are using the files found in this guide, the bannerbomb is for use with 4.2 only. Just connect the wii to the net, and choose update. If you really wanna stick with 4.0 then you need to download the old bannerbomb. There is a link to the old one in USBLoaderGX's Readmii if you can't find it anywhere else.

I tought it was better not to...

check here for info on bannerbomb http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/exploits/bannerbomb. i cannot see any advantage on 4.2 update other than being at the latest system menu version. 4.2 has no added feature to 4.1 other than block homebrew.

I've been contemplating modding my wii for a long time now, and i've just done so after following this guide! Brilliant guide - and many posts were really helpful at times

A quick question i'd like to ask though:

When installing the cIOS's, i installed the disc recommended wads - I'd like to be able to play disc backups but also usb backups, would this still be possible?
I presume aslong as i have the correct software? (neogamma and a usb bootloader?)

Is there any recommendations on bootloaders?



Thanks for the help

Ps. I'm going to try be active on this site from now on! I'm always on here just don't post much :$

 

[longtom1]

If you installed IOS202, 222 and 223 you'll be able to use Usbloaders if your looking for usbloaders here you go http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showforum=190 backup loaders section has lots to choose from

 

[naythan]

Cheers,

I've installed them

I've looked on there this week aswell and I was lost - there seemed to be so many loaders!
I'll have a good look tomorrow now I have more of an understanding

Problem Installing cIOS & Patching the System Menu IOS

When I run the Wad Manager I get error ret= -1035 when trying to install the following wads:
cIOS222[38+37]-v4.wad
cIOS223[38]-v4.wad
cIOS249-v15.wad
cIOS249-v16.wad

I was able to install the other wads in the directions.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hi all,

just about to use this excellent guide to mod my son's 4.2E hardmodded Wii. Can't imagine I'll have any problems but there is one question I wasn't sure of the answer to before I start.

Assuming all goes well and I install NeoGamma for disk and USB loading, will I still be able to load backup disks via the Disc Channel, or will I have to load everything via NeoGamma?

I assume my retail discs will still work fine through Disc Channel.

Thanks for any and all advice.

Since using this new guide and files for the first time, I cannot get Neogamma to work anymore (R8 B7) and no discs are recognised. The wii was on 4.1 before upgrading. USB loader is working ok though and original discs are playing through neogamma. Is it possible that the wii has one of the new non-dvdr drives?

Its okay, I got it sorted. Neogamma was using ios249-16. which its incompatible with. I couldn't uninstall 249 or 250 with wadmanager so I used any title deleter to do this then reinstalled 249-14 and 250-14 (no 15 or 16) and working now. USB Loader also still works as well.

stupid question for a mate who is on 4.1 but is having trouble playing VC games on his Wii.

Does he just need to run the Trucha Bug restorer step or should he just go ahead and go through the whole thing ?

he probably needs a patched IOS60

 

[AdamBrunt]

following this guide would give him that as well right ?

Or could he patch IOS60 using DOP-IOS ?

following this guide would get him to 4.2 and 4.2 uses IOS70
You can use dop-ios to patch IOS60
