Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

[studisc]

Ok guys I have to send in my wii to Nintendo. Is there a way to get rid of all the homebrew and stuff before I do it?

Hi,

have successfully used the previous version of the guide to mod my son's (previously virgin) 4.2E Wii, thanks again for that.

Can I just jump into the amended modify process at the WAD Manager step and install the new cIOS's?

Equally, I have 2 NAND backups of my Wii - 1 immediately after the very first install of BootMii and one of the Wii as it is at present. Does this latest version include everything I have done to the Wii up to this point and could therefore be used as a restore point if any of the latest updates should (for whatever reason) fail, or do NAND backups only have a copy of the Wii state at the very base level and not any of the later cIOS installs, etc?

Thanks again.

All replies very much appreciated.

A NAND backup is copy of everything in the wii, yes that includes cIOS's etc., everything. If you're just looking to update your cIOS's then follow this guide: http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/cios/waninkoko for 249 and 250, and http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/cios/hermes-cios for hermes cIOS's.

I have an issue that maybe someone can help me with. I recently installed the VC game Ironclad, but each time I try to run the game I simply get black screen. I can hear the audio fine. The reason I'm posting here is because the last thing I did before this problem was update some of the cIOS files to the latest versions listed on the first page. I've never seen this problem before. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong?

Evil-Popeye,

thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the advice but is there any reason, given that I've already got the latest wads on my SD card based on the updated modify zip, that I can't just jump into the process at the WAD Manager install section. My understanding is that the new cIOS's will overwrite the originals.

Am I also correct in thinking I don't need to repeat the TBR or the removal of stubbed IOS's

Thanks again

Hey,
I'm having an issue being able to hack 4.2U. I updated to it perfectly fine. I put the modify.zip files onto my SD card and went to the sd card menu in data management -> channels -> sd to launch bannerbomb, but every time I do so my Wii freezes and I have to reset it. What's the deal? I've tried it 5 times in a row and no luck.

Does this work for the black wiis?

I know there was an issue not to long ago and haven't been on the forum for about a month.

Thanks peeps

yes, black wii's can still be hacked, the color of wii (ie. if its black) just guarantee's that its new (and cant have bootmii as boot2 and cant play DVD backups)

Choose the SD card symbol from the bottom left of the main screen rather than going into data management. That'll do the trick.

I followed this guide to the letter on my 4.0U already softmodded wii, and it worked just fine.

Thank you OP.

I just got a brand new LU74 wii. I had a LU56 with the liveing crap moded out of it and then sold it. I remember back hearing something about wiis over LU64 being harder to mod or something. Has that changed or is there some more steps I have to do. My wii right now is compleatly Virgin to any kind of hacks/mods right now.

 

[C.S.I.]

Nope, no harder to mod than any other Wii.

Although you wont be able to install bootmii as boot2 (the best Brick protection)

xzxero, my friend.


Update your guide, you still talk about cIOSCORP. It is DARKCORP nao

EDIT: figured out

For someone who just wants to hack thier Wii just for Emulation/Playing Backups, would it be better (And easier) to just use this? Or go with the Complete Softmod Guide. (Im a first time Wii hacker)

This isn't working for me...
I keep getting this message when I try to put the files on my PNY SDHC

This is no longer located in C:/users/al Verify the items location and try again.

Hey, im farely well traversed in modding game consoles, but i think this is a lil llame...

"It works, you know where you get the files, if you know what you're doing, go for it."

I dont know where to get the files and on the net there like hundred different "packs", some of them sure to be outdated. It would be rather swell with some unique name or other way of identifying what kind of "pack" you are reffering to.

Someone throw me a bone here.

 

[C.S.I.]

Read closer, then send an email to the address provided. You will get a reply with a download link =)

Thats ALL the files you will need.

Now, go get that bone.



Edit: In case you cant smell.

Right I solved the SD card problem, but when I try to install IOS70 on Yet Another Wad Manager it only goes up to IOS35
