Hello,

Here is the situation. I got a Wii and installed homebrew channel. So far so good. I updated to 4.0 through Nintendo. Bad move, but heh I was able to reverse it using the guide I found elsewhere in the forums. So I am running the downgrader and I select 3.2e instead of 3.2u. I then follow the guide on the forums to go back to 4.0 and install cioscorps. Install preloader 0.29. Everything works. Yeah. Except when I go to play the original Zelda. It starts and goes to a black screen. So does my backup. I figure out that I loaded the wrong region and am trying to put things back to "working". Almost every app I run now comes back with this error, (ret = -1017). For instance I am trying to run Anytitle eleter and I get this message (just one example):
Identifying as SU...Error! ES_Indentify (ret = -1017)

I cant find anything searching the forums or Google.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug
 
Ok. I ran iosdowngrader v1.1 and to my understanding fixed that problem. That got me through getting that app to work, however whenever I now try to install cIOS36 rev10 using WAD install mode I get the same error. ANy more help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug
 
It may be you SD card, some SD card has problems installing some .Wads.

Also if you have a GC memory card in the Wii or a USB drive hooked up remove them and try again..

I'm kinda new at this but this but trying a different SD card help me with a few wads..

GOOD LUCK.
 
Thanks Guys, however I get thae same error no matter if I use neywork or wad. I have tried to install severeal different cios revs and get that exact error.
 
seriously try a different sd. I have 4 sd cards in varying sizes and not one works everytime. I have to try to install with all of them n see which one works
