Hacking What's wrong is with my Wii

[Gagarin]

Recently I was playing installing new cios but now I don't know what I did.
Some homebrew work, some don't.
here's what's on it

I have no idea what to do with it (I tried Hermes and Wanikoko cios installer)

"SignCheck 0.3b aka loveSexWii build report"
"Wii region", Usa
"Wii unique device id", 114680900

I would appreciate some good advices.

start from the beginning of the one of the top3 hacking guides (IMHO)

in no particular order:
1) NUS Auto Downloader
2) Complete softmod guide
3) Simplistic Mod (Mod any Wii 4.2 and below)

 

[techboy]

Start over with the "Mod any Wii 4.2 and below" guide at the top. It's been the most successful.

EDIT: Argh, forgot to refresh...just saw XFlak's post.

You should probably use a different base for ios249-r19, or install r17. Your issue is probably related to which base you used. You can tell it is jacked up by the failed signcheck on ios250 and 249. Use ios222 or 202, then reinstall cios249- r17

 

[Gagarin]

I did NUS automated installation, and now it's about the same (can't install wads in older managers, and Mario Backup can not be read

 

[XFlak]

What you are describing is normal, old wad managers cannot use cIOSs with a non-IOS38 base.

When you say Mario, I'm assuming you mean New Super Mario Bros Wii, and to get around that game's protection, you are required to have certain patches saved to your SD card or HDD (unless you already patched your original disc/image). Most usbloaders have this fix embedded, for more info on getting this game to work, read this (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=189802)

So in summation, your wii is most likely successfully modified, but you need to use new wad managers (like Wad Manager 1.6 Update2, or YAWMM, or MMM) and you probably need to update your usb loader to get NSMB wii working (but read the above link to be sure u are doing everything correctly)

PS. you are really terrible at describing your problem. If you had said what problems u were having from the start, I would've given u this advice right away instead of telling u to re-hack your wii from square 1.

Make sure ios35 has trucha bug a lot of homebrew use it

 

[XFlak]

Make sure ios35 has trucha bug a lot of homebrew use it

ummmm, no... IOS36 is what you meant

and u only really need to have it patched long enough to install cIOS249 (in fact, the TBR can even install a patched IOS36 to slot 236 so you can avoid patched IOS36 alltogether if you wish), but I prefer leaving IOS36 patched (u never know when it will come in handy! lol)

 

[Gagarin]

Sorry, I'm really terrible with describing. I appreciate your help.
So I know that NSMB is protected, but before NUS installation I played it normally.
On top of that my other wii works perfectly with all type of old managers and NSMB game.
Both Wii's are chipped, but my second is a troublemaker

So I just need to make it the same.
Will it help if I would make sign check of both?

 

[XFlak]

what cIOS are u using to launch it (i'm assuming u are using a usb loader)

I'm pretty sure I couldn't launch it with cIOS222v5, but 222v4 worked, and so did 249v19base57

anyways, try launching it with different IOSs and see which one works for u

 

[Gagarin]

No, I was trying to launch it via disc channel and does not work. I played it yesterday.
Is there any homebrew to tell you exactly what is wrong with it?
If you want, I can sign check both Wii's.

 

[XFlak]

lol, wow, very sad, very very sad... that's all i'm gonna say...


u want to install darkcorp (formerly known as cioscorp), this is, and has always been, the only way to play backup discs via the disc channel on a softmodded wii (doesn't work on new wii's that have the new D3-2 dvd drive)

if u had darkcorp installed, almost everything in your list above would be "enabled"

edit: again, if u had said the key words "backup loading from disc channel", i would've given u this answer a long time ago... but its all good, I hope you are learning though!

edit2: if u insist on backup disc loading instead of using a usb loader (which is a million times better), u can also just use neogamma instead of the disc channel (and u wouldn't need to install anything else), search for my topic on Neogamma's Autoboot mod, or the original neogamma which is always being improved upon

 

[Gagarin]

Ok, so how to reinstall it?

 

[ocdetective]

You didn't happen to recently update your Wii firmware too did you? (I can see you must be on 4.2 now)
I notice you mention your Wii's are chipped hence the ability to run from the disc channel. If you had updated from say 4.1 to 4.2 you would no longer be able to play back up games via the disc channel which were from a different region than your Wii.

 

[XFlak]

He said earlier he did "Nus automated installation", I'm assuming he used my program, which would have updated all of his active ios's (no stubs), but he must've used ios249 to install the wads because a patched IOS36 cannot overwrite/"downgrade" darkcorp ios's (not unless he used the recently released Trucha bug restorer 1.12 or MMM v13.2 to patch IOS36).

So that would explain why he lost darkcorp

I swear, i feel like a detective.. go re-read this post and see how little info I had to work with to figure this out, lol

edit:
@OP, I almost forgot to answer your question, to reinstall darkcorp, download darkcorp (google it, it will be the 1st thing on the list), read the instructions and warnings, put it on your SD Card, put it in the wii, run the damn thing and install it

 

[ocdetective]

X-Flak - Any reason why you think he had cios/darkcorp (do you think him mentioning chipped is purely a soft rather than hard mod)?

 

[XFlak]

lol, well i could be wrong about having cioscorp, but u even said yourself that updating to 4.2 messes up how some hardmods play discs, so even updating safely using the offline method coulda removed his ability to play backup discs from the disc channel (albeit temporarily)

if it is chipped, and being on 4.2 is the problem, the OP could always use NUSAD, or dop mii or w/e to downgrade back to 4.1 and that may fix it. But (re)installing darkcorp is a sure thing (since we already know this isn't one of the new D3-2 drives)

 

[Gagarin]

What do you mean "little information"...

I put a whole sign check print out!
Well, I wiill let you know soon if it worked.
Regards!

The only thing i can find that uses ios36 on mine is DVDx all my other hombrew installed channels use ios35

 

[Gagarin]

nope! still no NSMB from disc channel. I installed and uninstalled darkcorp and no difference at all.
So what to do to start over from a virgin Wii?
Is there any diagnose homebrew that would give you more information what the problem is?
