i know i have to grab the cIOScorp from the softmii package as i cant find it anywhere else but when would be the best time to install it. likewise with preloader and if i would like the option to recover from possible future bricks would i need to take a whole nand backup?
thanks.

isnt that what preloader is for? to recover from bricks that is.
preloader is able to load itself before the system menu loads, so thats how it can recover the wii from a brick (brick = unable to use system menu, or part of it)corbs132 said:i have installed cIOS and cIOSCORP a long time ago (around january i think)
i want to be able to do all the usbloader stuff
will i be able to install rev 9 over the currently installed version?
newer cIOS versions will overwrite older ones with no problem, so give it a try

i havent downloaded and installed it yet so am not too sure what it does. does it restore your wii without the need to make a abckup of the nand?

It allows you to boot the Homebrew channel directly so you can do everything to unbrick it
Creating a backup of the NAND is not needed (you can find the files online too), but its always usefull
Maybe try wad installation?corbs132 said:When i tried updating my preloader from .25 to .29
the update says "filename 0000000043.app
HTTP/1.1 404 not found.
is it still hosted?
why not try the preloader 0.29 installer?

QUOTE(mastergatuno @ Apr 6 2009, 07:27 PM) cIOS36 rev9 can only be installed on Wii 4.0?
I try installing it on my 3.2U Wii but I receive Error=-1 on the #07 patch. It doesn't even download it.
