Hi all, i recently installed 4.0 softmod on my brothers wii using the pack from Yafaze website, now i have just done another wii using a "Wii softmodding for dummies v4.1" which was so much easier to install and it also installed sd/usb launcher which my brothers hasnt got and having tryed to install it seperatly on my brothers wii but having no luck, my question is can i just run the "Wii softmodding for dummies v4.1" pack just the same way i would do on a virgin wii on my brothers wii? Sorry hope this makes sense to someone.
Cheers
Sorry another question i forgot to ask was can i install BootMii after i have softmodded a wii or should i have done it before?
I'm not sure what that guide is, but I think it's an older guide that still uses the IOS35 downgrade method, which will kill IOS35 on newer Wii's. Yafaze has a newer guide that uses the Trucha Bug Restorer as should be done on any Wii now.

Yes, bootmii can be installed at any time, and a NAND backup can be made at any time (think of it as a system restore point). You can't do a boot2 install of bootmii on all Wii's though. If you bought your Wii after about mid 2008 then it probably won't be able to give you any brick protection, as you would only be able to install it as an IOS, which can only be loaded through the HBC and not on boot.

HElllllloooo
Im currently siting on 3.2E everything installed, i think its starting too be time too move to 4.1E just too be on top of things how do i do it ?
Anyone help me ?
Run dop-IOS first to install the most recent IOS60 with sig hash check and then run Waninkoko's 4.1 updater. I believe it will give you an error if there isn't already some IOS60 there to begin with.
QUOTE(curdstar @ Aug 2 2009, 09:12 AM) Just a couple of questions:
I have managed to install Bootmiii via Boot2 install, and will be doing a NAND backup before any other tinkering. Is it vital to also install pre-loader in order to ensure 100% brick protection or will the NAND backup do the job?
I had Starfall in my system before, and as a result was able to play NTSC games and skip updates etc. Now however with Starfall being killed by my update to 4.1(everything else works fine) is pre-loader the answer?
Having updated to 4.1 and installing neogamma6 with IOS60patched wad, I am seeing my backups appear in the disc channel. Is it okay to boot from the disc channel now? All my backups are Wiiscrubbed and BrickBlocker patched. Even Wii Sports Resort appears in the disc channel as well as an NTSC converted to PAL version of No More Heroes(the version with blood).
Do I need to downgrade from 4.1, run any region changer and update to 4.1 with IOS60patched.wad again if I were looking to install Pre-Loader?
Thanks in advance. This thread is a fantastic resource!
Bootmii installed to boot2 with a working NAND backup (test if you can restore it after you make it as well) is 100% brick protection. Preloader is not necessary, but won't hurt and can make fixing certain types of bricks a bit easier since you can autoboot straight into .dol's if the HBC isn't working or something and have a chance to fix it without having to resort to restoring the old NAND. Preloader will also be able to replace starfall with better system menu hacks.
You can see the games because of the patched IOS60, but you shouldn't be able to play them from there unless you have CIOSCORP or something. You don't need to downgrade to install preloader. All it needs is a patched IOS36. If you haven't already, Run the Trucha Bug Restorer off of IOS36 and downgrade IOS15, run it again off of IOS15 this time and go to the IOS36 menu and install to IOS36 and say yes to the trucha bug and ES_Identify patch. Then run it again off of IOS36 and restore IOS15. Then you should be able to run the preloader install fine. Don't forget to also get the correct hacks.ini for your region and firmware.
