Have you not installed cIOS on your system yet? If you haven't you have not sufficiently hacked your Wii to play any backup games at all yet and need to install cios rev 9 or higher before anything will work. All revisions of Waninkoko's cIOS install to IOS249 so that 249 thing you mentioned may just be saying you don't have cIOS installed. Also note that with certain cIOS revisions like cIOS rev12 and above, the usb device you are running games off of has to be plugged in the outer port I believe and other devices need to be in the inner port. (By inner and outer I mean outer is the port closer to the edge of the Wii and inner is more towards the middle of the Wii.)

I'm assuming you have not installed any cIOS to begin with however so use the Trucha Bug Restorer since you're on 4.0 now to downgrade IOS15, then use IOS15 to install an IOS36 with the trucha bug to IOS36, then restore IOS15 to normal, then run the cIOS rev 13a installer and have it use IOS36 to install and do a network installation.

Pretty much yes. But you still need to run the cIOS rev13a installer after doing that and use IOS36 to do a network install.

The video only shows how to use the Trucha Bug Restorer, but doesn't actually have you install the cIOS.

 

Now another problem,

Extract Error ret(-1)?

 

i get the error both ways...

 

can you install it through the wad channel?

i already downgraded the IOS with TBR, thats what the last guy did, now im having trouble downloading the cIOS,i get errors while extracting. Wii hacking is tough stuff.

 

Well, he downgraded IOS36 right? He is trying to install cIOS 249 rev13 which uses IOS38 so shouldn't he try installing rev10 first since it uses IOS36 and then using his 249 to install rev13?

 

When i open up homebrew channel and click the "home" button on the wii mote, it says IOS61, does that help at all?

EDIT: i tried installing cIOS36 rev10, another error pops up during the network installation.

 

No if the first thing that shows up in the installer is IOS249 then use that and it should work. You must've installed the trucha patched IOS36 to IOS249 in the TBR instead of IOS36. Regardless of what you did if IOS249 shows up at all then you should use that.

And to old8oy no he does not have to use rev10 first. What IOS it is based off of has nothing to do with this. The IOS you select for it to use just needs to be something that has the trucha bug intact. Whatever IOS you choose it will still use the same IOS that it is based off of and patch it with the dip module and install to IOS249. And installing a trucha bugged IOS16 does not work on 4.0 anymore. That worked on lower firmwares then 4.0 needed the IOS35 downgrade to install the trucha bugged IOS35 then LU64 Wii's needed cboot2 or TBR to get the trucha bug and those last two will work on any Wii so those should be used for anything for now.

 

Then maybe you just installed a normal IOS36 to IOS249 or something... you must've done something wrong in the Trucha Bug Restorer if that doesn't work as there shouldn't have been an IOS249 to begin with. Do it again and make sure you set everything to exactly as shown in the video and use IOS36 again.

 

He's got a launch wii. So wazeer23, if you can't get nabster92's method to work for you then try IOS Downgrader. And nabster92, before you flame me for suggesting that again, I bought my Wii at the same time he did, I did a legit 4.0 update before hacking my Wii, I ran IOS Downgrader, and everything works beautifully. I wouldn't suggest it if I felt there was a brick risk.
