Hello averyone. I've got a problam with a virgin 4.0e wii.
I managed to install the HBC using BannerBomb, but I've got a problem downgrading to 3.2e. At first I thought that it would pe possible to run backups on system menu 4.0e wth HBC and GeckoOS, but I get an ERROR NO DVD... I figured, that I would have to downgrade, so I fired up PatchMii IOS Downgrader and started downloading and trucha patching IOS. The problem is that some IOS won't install... the ones that have a version (IOS11 v10 for example). What might be the problem?
Oh, and one more thing- I started AnyTitleDeleter to see what IOS I got on the system. It gave me a few errors, but I was able to get to the System Titles screen and those are the IOS on my wii:



And the second page:



It says that I have IOS30 (as you can see), which is necessary for system menu 3.2, but when I tried to install it using PatchMii IOS Downgrader or from a wad file, I got an error. Could it be because it's already installed on my Wii? If so, is it safe to downgrade to 3.2e using PatchMii? Or this IOS is not downgraded or something?

P.S. Sorry for my bad engilsh, and if I'm asking any stupid questions (I'm new to this stuff). Oh, and thanks in advance for the help!

1. Gecko OS isn't for launching backups
2. Downgraded IOS won't run backups
3. If your Wii is one of the LU64+, downgrading will brick your Wii
4. About the problem installing/downgrading that IOS, i don't know. But there are a lot of people with the same issue

1.+2.+3. ==> It's very clear that you didn't read anything on this forum. Spend 1 day reading stuff before you proceed, it's for your own good.

Do you like to brick the Wiis from other people? Don't try to help people while you don't know what you are talking about. Even with BootMii installed as boot2, you would need a nand backup to recover from the brick you get following your adivse to delete the system menu. Oh and i don't know another way to recover from that brick.

I read through the Ultimate System 4.0 thread. I didn't find anything, sorry.
Wii's serial number starts with LEH, so that's not the problem.
When I run cIOS downgrade or uninstaller it just resets the console. I downloaded IOS60 with PatchMii and trucha patched it, after that I downloaded 4.0 again... nothing happened.
My question is if it would be fine to downgrade since I have IOS30 (see the picture above) on the system?
