So I have found my Nintendo Wii I have bought back in 2014. The Wii I bought from someone had the Homebrew Channel and the USB Loader GX.
I was checking some channels and I remembered that I had Super Mario downloaded so I went on the Wii Shop to download it back. Before I entered the Shop I turned on WiiConnect24, after i turned on the Shop it asked me to System Update even if the System Menu is already 4.3E. I can update the Wii without any errors but what worries me is the Homebrew channel. Before the update it says that it will remove all unauthorised modification, and that has a possibility to brick my Wii. I don't know what the update does will it destroy my console or will it just update the Shop Channel. Thanks!
(I am kinda new to modding and I don't know how to remove the HBC or the USB Loader GX).

If your wii was not originally Korean and poorly region changed, an official update isn't that risky (just risk of power failure at a crucial moment)

Or u can just use modmii, it works fine even under the poor region change scenario
Thank you for replying and no my my wii was not originally from Korea and the region didn't change it stayed european. I will try the offical way.

i think the update is expected to include the following:

* Change cIOS to a stub and make cIOS non-functional
* Removes older versions of the HBC(titleID is "HAXX"). It does not affect recent HBC.(titleID is "LULZ")
*Update channels that are included from the beginning (e.g. Mii channel)

Therefore, it is unlikely that the update will brick the Wii, but if you have installed cIOS, you may need to install it again.
