Hacking virgin 4.2k homebrew install help

[FenrirWolf]

Yup, install anything you can.

I saw in your first post that you wanna change it to English now... You might not want to do that since installing the 4.2 firmware for any other region WILL brick your console. 4.1 or below should work, but if you ever updated to 4.2u/e/j or beyond you'd get to kiss your console goodbye.

the homebrew channel - can be installed
DVDX - can be installed
bootMii - can only be installed as an IOS

so install HB now yes?
also what about bootMii should i also install it as an IOS?

weve hit the jackpot
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

no luck with neogamma dvd read error 1101
about to try geckoOS

 

[FenrirWolf]

No luck with NeoGamma? Could you detail what happened?

 

[TroyTheZombie]

um, either i missed a part, or he never installed a cIOS.

Kinda would stop backup launchers from working.

Looks like that's the problem right there. XD

So yeah, do the steps here and THEN try running NeoGamma:

If it still doesn't work, then the problem could be that you've got the new disc drive that doesn't read DVDs. USB loading should still work, though.

emailing off now for the cIOSCorp
will install and update once done

also thanks a bunch for all your help

 

[FenrirWolf]

I wouldn't jump into cioscorp quite yet, though I guess you can install that if you really want to. It'd be good to be sure you've got NeoGamma fully functional before going in that direction. After all, cioscorp won't do you a bit of good if you really do have the disc drive without DVD reading capabilities.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

cIOScorp?

uh oh. I smell a brick coming.

smells like death. and cupcakes.

my advice? take it one step at a time. install cIOS rev14.

[peyote]

so dont touch cIOScorp then? cIOScorp bad ok cool

should i install wanins rev14 or 15?

 

[TroyTheZombie]

14.

15 has a HUGE bug.

 

[FenrirWolf]

Start off with rev14 since 15 and NeoGamma don't get along too well right now.

 

[peyote]

trying it now with rev14

 

[peyote]

the installer loads ok
but when i select ios 36 or 249 either via online or network install it errors

reading "IOS38-64-v3610.wad", please wait...
ERROR! (ret = -1)

 

[TroyTheZombie]

1 sec, check your PM in a minute, i'm sending you a link.

 

[FenrirWolf]

Follow the directions here to get the IOS from NUS Downloader like before...

Just grab v3610 instead of v3867. Put the compiled wad in the root of your SD Card and make sure it's named IOS38-64-v3610.wad

Be sure you're running the installer from IOS36 as well!

 

[peyote]

i just tried with v3610 all went well (installed with IOS36)
then at the end it says install error! (ret - 2011)

if your wii got the latest drive "d3-2" your out of luck. you cannot play backup on disc. but you can play your backup on wbfs drives. just use a USB loader. And even if your drive is the old D3, you'll still need to region change that korean shit. even if you have a backup loader.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

hmm, your IOS36 isn't trucha bugged most likely.

Try using truchabug restorer

he would still need a cIOS installed.

 

[FenrirWolf]

So he has to do a region change before a loader will work? Why's that?

Also, he already TBR'd the thing a while back, so I'm not sure if that's the issue.
