Hacking Wii system 4.0?

[Kurisuellegarden]

I have no problems with his "bold" ways!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH... Sorry, very poor joke. xD Well, Hopefully we shall come across some Wii tools...but Nintendo seems to do a good job at locking up their things. They tried to hide "Mother" from us too! v.v I was thinking about making some apps for the Wii buttt...I couldn't test my work as often as I wanted too because of the Wii's horrible internet connection in my house so...I'd have to swap the SD into the Wii and then our and it got annoying fast. I was just going to make a text RPG to test too but all I got was a sentence before I got irritated. v.v xD

I updated. Previously I had a 3.2E soft modded wii. Everything but booting discs from the disc channel (backups) works, installing wads, downgrading, backup launcher and so on.

Preloader certainly won't work, it'll install, but it'll brick your wii, forcing you to downgrade.

Hi folks

Can someone please explain to me, how to downgrate from 4.0e, i am a newbie, have cIOSDowngrader v1.0 - 1.2

Is it like this, make a folder on your SD cart, called "apps" in that folder make a new folder called "1. cIOSDowngrader_v1.2" and put it in your wii..!!

I got bit by that IOS30 stub bigtime. I thought it was still functional, and installed only the system menu 3.2 wad, without the IOS30 whatever previous version wad, not knowing that IOS30 was only a stub in 4.0 update, resulting a full unfixable (without bootmii, which can only be installed by a nand programmer at this point.) brick.

I too would like to know how to downgrade to 3.2e from 4.0e. I have tried the guide on here for downgrading from 3.4e or 3.3e but it fails at the step using the Custom WM to install 'cios_fix.wad' resulting in an Error! (ret = -1035). Obviously I have the Home Brew Channel installed. I upgraded to 4.0e thinking I was upgrading to 3.4e (as I didn't know 4.0e was released)

well so far 2 games dont work, hbc not working... backup channel neither..., dammit any wad's i installed did'nt work too i HAD preloader installed

oh i also had tph on it...of course...

so guess why i,m doing this!

the Custom WM uses IOS16 to install CIOS which is then itself used to run the downgrade process
HOWEVER, IOS16 has the signature bug FIXED since the last update that came with system menu 4.0 and therefore can NOT install CIOS anymore

if you don't have CIOS (ios249) previously installed, you can not downgrade this way sorry

this contradicts all the report so far so I bet YOU have done something wrong
what means "not working" ? black screen ?
btw, preloader disappeared when system menu 4.0 got copied on your wii... puff

I am a relative noobie at this... but I think I have previously installed CIOS (ios249) as I got part way through instructions a softmod install for 3.4e when I got a '-2011' but the step before this error was :

"~ Launch the normal "WAD Manager" and select the SD card and source, then install IOS16-64-v257.wad (select it with the D-Pad and hit the + key). Once installed hit the "Home" button to exit

~ Go back into the Homebrew Channel and load the "Wad ManagerIOS16" App, with this version of the Wad Manager you want to install "07-cIOS249-v7_waninkokoFULL-nw7.wad" from the SD card as above. Again when finished installing hit the "Home" button to exit.
"

Assuming I do have ios249 what do I do to downgrade? Thanks in advance.

Anyone tried this yet?
I'm tempted, but seen no reports on anyone else trying it

Having a look around another user (ephumuris) had the same error (-1035) when trying to do the cios_fix. He ignored this (posts 4, 10, 15, 17 in http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=119216&st=0 ) and carried on with the downgrade. His machine was a 3.3e

I was just about to risk this too on 4.0e... but then bottled it. What are the risks of me trying to do the IOSDowngrader and CIOSDowngrader? Can I brick it? How can I see if I have ios249 previously installed? Thanks.

EDIT : I have now loaded the cios_fix using the WAD Manager instead of the Custom WM (having found a fourm entry for someone else solving the -1035 error this way). It ran through okay without any errors. But should I be okay running the downgraders now? I am okay if it just fails but not okay if it bricks the Wii.

[Jacobeian]
