Hacking Preloader 2.9 and SM 4.0 problem

[CapeCrusader]

OK here is my problem. I was at system Menu 3.2U on a non LU64/65 Wii. I followed the online directions from the Ultimate System Menu 4.0 guide. Everything installed great and I was at system Menu 4.0. I powered off the wii to make adjustments to pre-loader 2.9. I held the reset button and pre-loader did not start and the Wii went directly to the regular menu. I started Homebrew from the system menu and loaded in pre-loader. When I reset the Wii I get the pre-loader menu and I made all the necessary adjustments but when I went to load the Wii system Menu I get a black screen with just 4.0U on the bottom right of the screen. I went back to pre-loader and reinstalled everything from System menu 3.2 to the 4.0 upgrade and again pre-loader does not function. when I tried to reinstall pre-loader it I get the black screen again. Everything works fine in system menu 4.0 but I can not launch out of area games and I am no longer protected from bricking. What am I missing. Is there a way to install pre-loader once System 4.0 is installed without getting a blank screen. The FAQ's do not address this issue:

Will this work with Starfall? Preloader 0.28?

No. You MUST use Preloader 0.29. Starfall hacks wont work on 4.0. Use the latest preloader hacks.ini

Do original discs work with/without CIOSCORP?

Yes. CIOSCORP and CIOS60 only affect Backup Discs

How do I fix the error when installing preloader "current IOS(36) has the fakesign bug fixed"?

Install "IOS36-64-v1042.wad" which can be found on a disc or using the Offline Pack

How do I uninstall preloader?

Downgrade with cIOS Downgrader and run Waninkokos Updater again

If preloader does not work with System Menu 4.0 what are you using?

Thanks

OK I am not sure if this is the problem or not. Do I need to do steps 8 - 14 if I did the online updates?

8) If you do not have cIOS installed yet Run WAD-Manager_v1.4 choose IOS35 and install cios_fix.wad then restart

9) Run cIOS36_rev10-Installer and choose WAD Installation

10) Run WAD-Manager_v1.4 again. Choose IOS249 and install WADs 01-18. If WAD Manager freezes during installation just try again from the WAD it froze on.

11) While still in WAD Manager install SystemMenuv###.wad

12) Run preloaderv0.29-cred and press 1 to install

13) Hold reset while powering on to access preloader and set preloader settings. In preloader hacks enable "Skip disc update check"

14) If you installed the Homebrew Channel using a WAD run the HomebrewChannel Installer to fix the installation
