Hacking Unable to update Wii from 3.2

[Abeerdrinker]

I have a wii that I havent played in over a year. Lets just say I was not here to be able to use it. Now I am I am trying to update the wii to 4.2 but fails everytime

I cant even get to this part

Run bannerbomb by going to the Settings, Data Management, Channels, SD Card & choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf
This runs the Hackmii Installer from which you should install the Homebrew Channel, DVDX [optional], & Bootmii as IOS & boot2 if possible.

It was softmodded back since 2.something so I already have the HBC beta 9 and Wad Manager 1.3 on the dash but for some reason I am not allowed to run wads or Dols without getting errors back. It keeps saying Not a valid Wii application.

I have even tried to use the easy updater but I cant seem to run anything in HBC without getting a error.


Should or how can I reset the wii back to default?
some kind of fix for this?

Thank you to anyone that responds

Beta 9?? Wow...

Update the HBC then cIOS rev14/15/16 then update officially. You can then reinstall the cIOS using IOS250.

[Abeerdrinker]

hmmm has the actual system been updated to system menu 4.2? if not try running the official update and starting from scratch.

What dols are you trying to load? Where are they located on your sd card?

 

[Abeerdrinker]

I am still on 3.2 and I didnt do the offical update.




The dols are located in the apps/folders broken into seperate folders

 

[Hells Guardian]

and they are named boot.dol? try loading this dol from the HBC.

It should work as I just tried it.

+1 on the boot.dol naming

 

[Abeerdrinker]

getting the same error

"This is not a valid Wii application" on the wiisolitare


I also did the offical update and still having the same problem. I cant even get the Boot.dol prompt in SD menu

use bannerbomb v2 for the sd menu. And by the way, install bootmii and do a nand backup before anythign else.

Everyone here should have recommended that BEFORE doing the official 4.2 update, kinda surprised that no one did.

nothing is popping up in the sd menu

 

[ocdetective]

You need the alpha v2 bannerbomb package unzipped to your sd card exactly as it arrives in the unzipped format AND boot.elf of the hackmii installer in the root directory of your sd card. Might be worth re-formatting your sd card initially (storing whatever is in it elsewhere temporarily). That is assuming you are on 4.2 (which only one person recommended you should do)

 

[Abeerdrinker]

Well I really screwed the pooch. I got Bootmii to install via Hackmii but kept getting errors in HBC. So after trying so many options I forgot to copy off bootmii directory and formatted the SD but now not able to rebuild it? I can now load the Dol files from the SD menu but Hackmii is not letting me reinstall HBC and Bootmii but get the blank screen with the flashing Dvd tray

is there some way to reinstall Bootmii or remove it so that I can reinstall it?

 

[ocdetective]

If bootmii is actually installed then you just need to re-download the actual files and put them on a suitable SD card. Check card compatibility here.

Though I would not recommend removal of it - best to backup then overwrite and backup again.
