Hacking SNEEK v2

[FenrirWolf]

Det1re will write some instructions throughout the day I'd wager. I could tell you how to do the part after compiling, though..

I wouldn't mind that, since the compiling part is out of the way now.

 

[SanGor]

there is now a precompiled es and fs module at http://code.google.com/p/sneek/downloads/list

 

[crwys]

This all seems extremely confusing. lol

You can change the region of your NAND dump really easily I've found by using ARC 4.1 mod from da_letter_a on your emulated NAND. Just use it to change to the region you want, and then install a WAD of the same region system menu using something like ShowMiiWads. I have a 4.2K wii right now because of it. Cool stuff.

 

[carbonyle]

Hopefully I've the whole thing precompiled

(since...)

I have a nand dump from another Wii. It was a brand new 4.0U Wii, I installed HBC, DVDX and BootmiiIOS.

I used bootmii to create the nand.bin and showmiiwads to extract it into the file structure. This nand dump loads fine with SNEEK. However, when I launch the HBC it shows me the scam warning screen and then loads HBC. However, the cursor is giving me the bird and it doesn't show any of the apps on my SD card. I assume this means that HBC thinks it has been tampered with (I guess because it's from a different Wii).

Is there any way to over come this, how would I reinstall HBC to the SD-NAND?

Thanks.

 

[daxtsu]

Of course it won't show apps on your SD card; it doesn't exist when sneek is running, remember?

 

[ChokeD]

Why not use showmiiwads ??? Just uninstall it or delete it with showmiiwads and reinstall it. maybe ?

boot2.bin where are you ?

ok. heres a little skinny on getting this up and going. this assumes that you have devkitARM & python or the WIIDEV environment already set up.

first grab the 0000000e.app module from IOS60 v6147 and put it in the same folder as the sneek source code.

Spoiler

then open a cmd window and point it to that folder and put this in it...

cd es && make && cd ../fs && make &&cd ../mini-tree-mod && make && cp ./armboot.bin .././armboot.bin && cd ../ && ELFIns\elfins.exe es\esmodule.elf 0000000e.app step1.bin && ELFIns\elfins.exe fs\iosmodule.elf step1.bin step2.bin && boot2me\Boot2Me.exe step2.bin boot2.bin && rm ./step1.bin && rm ./step2.bin

Spoiler

this should leave you with a armboot.bin and a boot2.bin. put the boot2.bin on your sd root and the armboot.bin in the bootmii folder in the sd card. if you got the precompiled elf files from the google code page, you can skip the first part of this command but just make sure the path you enter for the args to the exe files match whatever you named the elf files.

also, i had to make 2 changes to the make to have it use my compiler. change starlet.mk to have this at the top

export WIIDEV=$(DEVKITARM)
ifeq ($(strip $(WIIDEV)),)
$(error "Set WIIDEV in your environment.")
endif

PREFIX = $(WIIDEV)/bin/arm-eabi-

it has 1 line added and the PREFIX line is now different. if you don't have python, it will throw an error, but crediar says that isn't important, so you can remove that from the makefile i guess.

How did you run ARC? From a channel on the Wii? Or is this a PC side operation?

It's working in giantpune's video. That must be through USB gecko, rather than through the SD card then. Shame.

 

[daxtsu]

I ran it from the emulated HBC.

 

[ChokeD]

Seems people that can't compile this on their own are S.O.L because of the ninty code contained in the build EH ???

 

[Hatsu]

I would like to know, what is the Wad manager in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIOoYakHhE

 

[nIxx]

WAD Manager 1.5 with a changed background (and possibly some other small changes to get it working with sneek i guess)

 

[daxtsu]

Just for kicks I decided to try the Format System Memory option in the System Menu and apparently it "bricks" the emulated NAND. So..don't do it.

System updates, on the other hand, work fine.

That's all...

Tried Programmers Notepad with "mini-tree-mod" and "the file cannot be found". I do have devkitPPC, devkitARM and phyton.
The armboot.bin is the only missing thing... :s

 

[T-Error]

could somebody please tell me if I only need Devkit to compile the esmodule.elf, fsmodule.elf or do I need it in general? and another stupid question: where can I get the key.bin which is necessary for NUS-downloader? the keys.bin generated by bootmii isnt correct even if renamed to key.bin

*cough*wiiscrubber*cough*

 

[wilsoff]

I ran [ATD 4.1 MOD] from the emulated HBC.

Do you have to do anything special to do this? I have apps in sd:\apps\appname\boot.dol but HBC shows blank

 

[T-Error]

sorry *cough* thats why i said stupid question. and i think by "wiiscrubber" you're thinking of scrubbing IOS60 from a game, right? but i want to know where i can get the key.bin.
