Hacking talk of a new hackmii

Get cios 36 rev 10 and install it from hbc. Then get wiigator's backup loader channel with the 002 fix. Install that with wad manager from hbc and you can start playing you backups. I would also suggest installing preloader .29 for brick protection if your going to be messing around with wads. There are other methods for launching backups but if your going to be burning discs this is the easiest way.

clicked install preloader, went through warning screen. and i got one line of text with the word failed in it. did i do it right?

When trying to install cIOS, I get a ticket error (as i sort of expected).

Now, I have read from other threads that it is a little possible to downgrade to 3.4 if your Wii came with it. Now, I believe, since our Wii got the message from Nintendo saying the "4.0 update is now available" and it did prompt us to update, would that mean that ours came with 3.4? If that is the case, how would i go about trying to downgrade it?

Also, you won't need the gamma with 002 error fix since cIOS fixes the 002 error from Rev8 upwards.

what is cios 36 rev 10 and why do i need it?
im scared

 

[FenrirWolf]

You need it if you plan on playing any kind of game backup or installing wad files. It can't possibly brick your Wii because it installs independently of your Wii's firmware.

The thing is, the bug that Wad Manager uses to work is fixed in System Menu 4.0. Fortunately there's an app out there that uses a closed-source exploit to downgrade IOS35 to a version affected by what's called the Trucha bug, which is what lets Wad Manager work. So you use this app, tell Wad Manager to run off of IOS35, then use it to install a cIOS Wad. After that, you install a patched IOS60 so your installed wads can run from the SD Menu and you're home free. Search for a 4.0 downgrade guide for more info on this:

But NOTE: Some LU65 Wii's are "unsoftmoddable." That is to say that downgraded IOS's don't work with them, meaning you won't be able to install cIOS with this method (and you run the risk of making IOS35 not work if your Wii doesn't like it). I think that WiiGator's cboot2 will eventually get around this problem if it hasn't already.

i really am not feeling a downgrade on my brand new wii... the bricking risk is there.

do you think if i just stay put and waited eventually the scene will get a way for me to use the WAD manager without going through the painful downgrading process :/ i like waiting it out :////

 

[FenrirWolf]

You won't need to fully downgrade the Wii, just IOS35. If you find that IOS35 doesn't work I'd imagine that forcing a system update would put it back to normal.

I guess you could wait if you don't want to take the chance. Like I said I think cboot2 will be a good solution if it isn't already.

so your saying. all i have to do is run DowngraderIOS35.dol
then run wadmanager1.4 in order to install all my wad channels to my wii??????

or are you saying i should use hb to install DowngraderIOS35.dol
then once that is installed i should run cIOS36_rev10-Installer then once thats good and installed i should wad manager then ill get the channels onto my wii?????



or am i just completely wrong and bound to brick my wii

You can't downgrade the newest Wiis via the downgrader. You can try it though, but I doubt it'll work.


P.S. Stop being so damn paranoid about bricking your Wii. It's not as easy as you're making it out to be.

fine.

but seriously i have a homebrew channeled wii. and an IOS downloader that i have yet to use. and a completely untouched foulder of wad files and a wad manager 1.3.

[sylux92]

Just boot wad manager using hbc and install the wads by pressing plus on the remote to install the selected wads.

ahhhhhh omg i never actually tried that... do i dare?
can someone tell me if this is going to fuck up my system or not???

 

[Mark McDonut]

there is always a certain degree of risk with anything unofficial. if you aren't willing to take a risk, don't do something you feel uncertain about or win one off gaminglagoon and sell it and use the money for an old wii off ebay

error 2011

hmmmm This sounds familiar... you should read this!

Should get you completely up and running. Although I recommend using cIOS36_rev10 instead, and installing IOS files 37, 38, 53, 55, 60, 61 after you're done.

Also, NeoGamma > Gamma Backup Launcher 0.3

EDIT: In case you haven't already, you need to install BootMii and Preloader. Use BootMii to make a NAND backup asap and you'll pretty much be safe even in worst case scenarios.

 

[FenrirWolf]

Since he's on a LU65 wii he probably shouldn't follow a full downgrade guide.

I really suggest you wait for the results to come in for cboot2.
