Hacking New problem

[mariobros1]

I just today got a new wii from ebay and have noticed it has homebrew installed,
The homebrew channel version is beta 9 the wii system menu is at 3.2e,
I was wondering if it would be safe to just start xzxero's guide now and get all the latest stuff and updated to 4.2e,
Please reply.

There's no necessary to upgrade your Wii cause 3.2 version is fine.

 

[mariobros1]

But What about the homebrew channel

 

[DKAngel]

meh just use the guide and update to 4.2 then atleast u dont have to go and install random ios's to get new games to work =]

the guide is perfectly safe for you to use

 

[mariobros1]

What about the homebrew channel I already have,
Would it be appropriate to remove it and then proceed to the soft modding guide?.

 

[mariobros1]

Bump because I really need help here.

If you upgrade to 4.2 the HBC will be removed.

 

[mariobros1]

I will be using this guide to update and get the new HBC installed,
But what do I do with my old HBC.

 

[Dmon84]

If you update your HBC before updating it wont be removed. So just run Hackmii Installer before you follow the guide.

 

[mariobros1]

Can I just remove the HBC now and then use the guide from the beginning?

 

[Dmon84]

Of course you can, if you update the Systemmenu, the old HBC will be removed anyway. So just follow the guide to get a virgin Wii or install the new version of HBC before updating the Systemmenu. So you dont have to reinstall it later.
Its your choice!

thats what I did to mine. updated to 4.2 then installed everything

 

[mariobros1]

Yeah
,
The problem is that I already have an old HBC installed and I don't know if I should delete it then update and mod using the guide http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=171901.

 

[Dmon84]

I already answered your question. If you dont remove in manually it will be removed by the update. And no that isnt a problem.

 

[mariobros1]

Ok thanks for the info I think I got it sorted now,

I don't recommend you to upgrade your Wii if you're planning to use USB Loaders instead of DVD Launchers.

 

[mariobros1]

Too late,
I did it and I have 4.2 all working homebrew

1 minor problem: my homebrew channel is upside down

Your recommendation is a good one, but not necessary. It's perfectly fine to upgrade these days, as 4.2 is fully hacked.

HBC does that when you enable fakesigning on its support IOS. Simply re-install HBC via the HackMii installer, same process you did before. It will not upset any of your other hacks, it will just fix HBC.

make sure your ios61 is NOT patched before (or after) reinstalling the HBC, this will make sure it is not upsidedown

That's not entirely necessary. You should have at least one non-patched IOS, but it doesn't have to be IOS61. For example, on my Wii it's IOS35. My HomeBrew Channel is supported by IOS35 as identified by pressing the home button while in the HomeBrew Channel.
