You realize how much that covers, don't you? The HBC, bootmii, and any wad are just a few examples.I've never installed Priiloader on any Wii that I own.
Every program that makes permanent changes to your NAND should be used with EXTREME caution.
Every application that changes the system so severe shouldn't leave an option to do things wrong.
If people brick things doing something wrong, you need to ask yourself as creator of the application, how could I have avoided this, instead of blaming people because they did something wrong.
A first step in the process is a clear warning that doing x will cause problems (as this can be done immediatly), and a second one is altering the system in such a way that it becomes nearly impossible
for the users to make that mistake again.
The first reaction of blaming people is however normal human, as you ask yourself, how could they possible think about doing that.
Most programmers forget that people using the application don't have the same in depth understanding about how things work.
I usually won't experiment with things if I don't see a clear recover method. The wii however doesn't leave me much choice.
The recover method requires a nand backup, and to have that, you need to softmod it first?
Maybe there exist an application that can take a nand backup and can be run from a game exploit or the mail bomb exploit?
If such a one exist, I would like to hear about it.
Maybe the program Crediar created to dump a nand for neek could do it, but I don't know if it can run from an exploit?
Luckily, the hackmii installer is very fail safe, and maybe adding an extra step during the installation will just make the procedure unnecessairy more complex for noobs.
I am curious what you folks think about it. Sorry for hijacking this threat, but it was already moving away into that direction.
And you can take a NAND dump immediately after installing HBC and BootMii, before doing anything else.
with any of the exploits available for 4.3, you can run the hackmii installer and install bootmii.... exploits have been available for 4.3 for just about as long as 4.3 has been out.And you can take a NAND dump immediately after installing HBC and BootMii, before doing anything else.
how does one get bootmii running on a 4.3 wii? i thought you could not install it on that firmware.

i had someB HackMii Installer has, I believe, NO reported bricks (which is pretty impressive IMO, especially considering the huge number of reported installs)
That shouldn't have any affect on it. You can't even use the hackmii installer if you have corp installed on any IOS it uses. Quit trying to spread rumors about patched IOS's.i had someB HackMii Installer has, I believe, NO reported bricks (which is pretty impressive IMO, especially considering the huge number of reported installs)
because of cioscrap/darkcrap iirc
holding reset launches priiloader if it's installed (priiloader =/= bootmii).when bootmii is installed on a 4.3 wii is it going in boot2 or is it a custom ios file?
i'm assuming that either way you access the same way (holding reset?) and it has the same brick protection/functionality?
sorry for my ignorance, it seems the more i read about hacking my 4.3 wii the more confused i become!

i like the ideaIt would be great if the hackmii installer would dump the nand keys and add them to the installer.log. No need to have a nand dump, just need the keys.
I consider Priiloader safe, and I don't blame Daco for the full bricks from v0.5 (I blame TT for that, and they still haven't fixed it), but he is a dick. Just a couple weeks ago he was going on about how people who get 003 bricks deserve them, and it was good to update to 4.2+ because it filtered out people who deserved to keep their Wii.this is it...
any application that edits/modify the wii's system software is "dangerous".
its on the user if they want to use it or not...
for me i've been using preloader/priiloader since the day it released..
and i've modified "a lot" of wiis and i have not encountered any brick..
so for me i don't mind any issues about daco.
its on the user side how they brick their asses.

as of today we can do a lot with the wii keys.
SO you told your friend to use priiloader , and it just so happens your uncle fixes wii's ? hmmm I smell a rat ...... just kidding LOLHey guys, my friend just softmodded his wii this morning. Then he asked me what to install so that he won't brick his wii so I told him to install Priiloader. He downloaded Priiloader from wiibrew.org. The downloaded version is 0.7.So he installed Priiloader using MMM. Then after it installed it said about STACK DUMP. So he turned off his Wii then nothing shows up on the screen. Then I told him about my uncle that fixes Wii who also fixed my Wii. He said that some versions of Priiloader can brick a Wii. Is that true?
That is an asshole thing to say, 99% of 003 error wiis have never been softmoded by the end user. They where just ripped off by being sold region changed korean wiis without even knowing the risks.I consider Priiloader safe, and I don't blame Daco for the full bricks from v0.5 (I blame TT for that, and they still haven't fixed it), but he is a dick.
