Hehe. Got backups running from Disc Channel again with cIOScorp v2. Shop Channel still works and runs off the new IOS61(?) which enables SDHC, so it can download purchases directly to my SD-card which System Menu 3.2E in turn can't read yet. =)

ok here is some info ( and my advice is don't update yet - DON'T UPDATE - to 4.0 ) some tests I've tried so far shows a various results on 4 Wiis I have here , upgrading from a hack free system to 4.0 will block all abilities for homebrew and backup loading since TPH and HBC are not installing

, however updating from 3.2 or 3.3v2 with softmods gave various results as I said , TPH is gone but HBC still there !! WadManagerv1.3 and USB2.0 still running including Softchip and Gamma channels even playing backups from DC no problem ,however IOSDowngrader worked on one but not the other though cIOSDowngrader worked on both back to 3.2 so further tests I'm doing now and I'll keep you updated , peace

Just a quick question, I am running firmware 3.4U..does this update automatically update itself or would I have to press something in order to update..someone had told me before that 3.4 will automatically update to a newer version so I just wanna be sure..I don't want to update to 3.5 since I've read about all the issues people are having

Will Preloader / starfall be blocked by this either?

Congrats TT for TP hack... 1 year... how awesome!

Good job Nintendo on the piracy block. I heard it even gave a error if you launch a Wad installed VC/WW to SD game via the "SD card" which is the NAND... 0_o

There is no auto updating feature in 3.4 so you're safe

so if you upgrade by accident you will be able to downgrade? so can we put waninkokos rev 8 in to the new ios to make backups work?
If you have cIOS I think you're ok. I was able to downgrade my IOS files after installing this pretty easy, so it should work to downgrade if you so wish. Also, to the other guy, Starfall ONLY works on 3.2u or 3.2e. Anything else and you'll risk bricking (assuming starfall doesn't check). Wait and see if a new preloader comes out with codes supporting the new menu.

To anyone who has successfully reverted from 4.0 can you confirm if you have been able to maintain the ability to access the Shop Channel, thanks. Sorry, I've been poking around and I haven't seen this directly asked or confirmed yet and if it has shame on me.

ok read my previous post when I said DON'T UPDATE how clear do you want me to phrase it for you , we are doing this tests on the behalf of the community cause we have the ability to revise our work and in my case I have 4 consoles for Dev and a personal to play with in my living room so why did you update smarty and if some one with no experience told you it's safe to jump from the roof would you do it out of a high rise
wink.gif
, when I'm done here with all the over whelming new stuff I'll see what can we do for you , for the time been give me a detailed info on what you had before the update in your console (TPH , HBC , what SM ? , Starfall Y/N ? , ......... ) what's working for you after updating

So, for the new features, are we going to attempt to modify the IOSs on 4.0 enough to make 4.0 our new 3.2? Or is there no hope in that? I'm hoping that it will kind of be like the PSP Firmware Modding...well..I guess they are completely different...but I really do look forward to those nice SD features. =]

Wii is not a Psp !!! what Dax relied on to make the CFW with was leaked tools and files from $ony which we don't have here !!!! 4.0 System Menu just got released today and we might be working on Crackalacking it but we don't do miracles in seconds !!! so for the time being DON'T UPDATE, thanks

Well, I was meaning function wise. xD I know how they both work.

I was meaning that we'd hack it IOS wise. v.v If I had more Wiis, I'd try to help too. =\ But I don't.

I wish you all the best of luck. =]

god bless them all they are the best ) back in the days and with the tools we had things were charming and sweet , here it's more work with less tools and lot's of creations

BIG MOE work on your posting ego. Not every word of every post you make has to be in bold. I understand you want people to read what you type but so does everyone. I'm actually not reading them because of the lack of capitalization and punctuation combined with the boldness. If it was two out of those three, maybe.

I still have trucha signed stuff so.. well, not updating yet.
