Hacking Still prompting me to update, on 4.2...

Clearly something went wrong, I'm not just going to ignore it.

O that, yea I definitely did that step.

I'm out of ideas, should I restore 4.0 with NAND?

You can restore and then try the safe updater. I have a feeling you missed a step in the guide somewhere, but at least with the safe updater you can just sit back and let it do its thing.

Thanks mate, so there's no issue with downgrading with a NAND backup?

You have the same boot1 and boot2, your fine.

I do? I installed BootMii to boot2, that's all I know. Really sorry

Yes I know, but say there's an IOS that actually needs to be installed for a game, I will have to disable blocking in preloader, the game won't detected 4.2 being installed, so instead of just installing the one IOS, it will reinstall the official 4.2 update.

No necessarily. The latest gecko OS can detect what IOS the game uses, and if it isn't installed, Gecko OS will read (from the games update partition) only the IOS the game needs, and install that IOS before running the game.

So, the easiest way to fix your problem is to install preloader, along with a hacks.ini for your system menu, enable the "Block Disc Updates" hack, and if a game doesn't work, just run it through the latest Gecko OS.

Once Gecko has installed the needed IOS, the game can boot through normal Disc Channel? Thus never needing to update from 4.0 etc?
