is there really a fix already? I just read up here that hackmii v.5 has been released? them guys are fast

Seriously if you want 4.2 it's better to install the newest HBC and DVDx via Hackmii v0.5 first, install the latest Shop Channel with the updated IOS61 second, then use Dop-IOS v8 to update IOS56 and IOS57 (without the fake signing bug) and install IOS70 (with the fake signing bug). After that grab the System Menu 4.2 WAD via NUS Downloader and use Wad Manager to install it.

Volia, You're on 4.2 with Homebrew enabled, and all your cIOSes should be intact.

will this work on 4.2 using indiana pwns?

0.4 isn't even released yet, its only beta right now...

oh wait, 0.5 just released with hbc 1.0.5, bootmii beta 4, and dvdx v2

Unfortunately, since the Homebrew Channel 1.0.5 uses a new title ID, you can't launch it via Preloader.

 

[lightyear]

hackmio 0.5 is, in fact out for public release....

It amazes me every time. So much useless updates to meet, so much bricking to be done...

Did you hear the news?
-no, what´s up?

There´s a system update for Wii directly from Nintendo!
-what is it for?

It´s new, it´s called 4.2!

-what is it for?
the update deletes homebrew on your wii! it overwrites all cios versions with unusable stubs and blocks erases HBC!

-But where is the advantage for me, i use homebrew, why should i kill it?
U can manually hexedit the new IOSes and install HBC again!

-Does updating bring me new features?
No.

-Is it forced by Nintendo?
No.

-Are there new games requiring it?
No.

-Is online gaming blocked without the update?
No.

-Has Nintendo any new services needing it?
No. But maybe in the future!

-There is already a new HBC installer on the way, and a 4.2 safe updater from Waninkoko.
-Shouldn´t we simply wait 1 or 2 days before updating?
No, you have to update NOW!

-Why? No new features, not forced, not required by any software, not required online, killing HBC which i have to reinstall.
-Why should anyone update now, safe updating is only a matter of days?
You HAVE to update NOW!

-why?
Because it has written 4.2 all over it, it´s new!

So true ...

That's a bit dramatic if you ask me. There's workarounds.

Beware: Everything installable with this installer works with every system menu version, you do not have to update to v4.2! We even advise you not to update! On the last article bushing wrote:

The [boot 2 update] code [from Ninty] is so buggy that we decided to write our own for the HackMii installer.

It’s really sad, but that wasn’t exaggerated at all. The first reports about bricks due to this official boot2 update are reported on Nintendo’s forums. Replies, which Ninty doesn’t like, are getting deleted. Anyway, it’s up to you if you want to risk it.

Yeah thanks wanin

Still, doesn't take the problem away for current unmodded 4.2's and future virgin 4.2's.

If I understand correctly, Indiana Pwns makes it possible to install using hackmii 0.5 installer/run HBC so far, but cios can't be installed yet >> no working launchers, usb channels? (please confirm/correct me if im wrong)

 

[King Of Chaos]

I actually feel sorry for the legit customers effected by the update yesterday. They really should of held off on the boot2v4 update. I also feel sorry for the users here up accidentally or inadvertently updated their Wiis to 4.2.

This thread was lava, now its rock.

This thread was lava, now its rock.

It would be a hell of a lot better if all your posts were deleted from it.

cboot2 should be able to install cIOS

 

[panzeroceania]

cboot2 should be able to install cIOS

is there any tutorial for cBoot2 installation? I'm having some trouble with it.

 

[panmusic]

Just 2 quick questions.

1)If I had a 4.1E Wii with HBC 1.05 installed but with absolutely not any custom IOS,is it safe to update?Will the HBC still be present in 4.2?

2)If my Wii is 4.1E with HBC 1.05 installed but with custom IOS(222,223,249),is it safe to update?
Will the HBC still be present and will my Wiiflow work?
