Hacking Wii Update: 3.3U Out

[DJPlace]

what is this cios thing you guys talking about? and i'm not updateing to the issue gets resovled.

Taken from Wiibrew.org:

Updated all IOSes, and IOS51

Released: 23rd October 2008

This blocks new installations of anything fakesigned, that is, Homebrew Channel, wads (legal and illegal), Starfall, cIOS, anything that installs IOSes secretly like AnyRegion Changer or AnyTitle Deleter, xyzzy and DVDX (used for apps which have DVD support). The homebrew developers are already planning how they could work against this. If something is already installed then it isn't affected, like Homebrew Channel, etc. You currently need this update to access the Wii Shop Channel. It updates all IOSes with the fakesigning bug, and adds IOS51.

Personally, i'd recommend not updating just yet. Wait for a workround to come out (if possible).

The cios wad you had to install with the backup loader or maybe some other HB apps. I didn't uninstall it when I did the update. On my Wii everything works fine except now no Region Free.
Wad installs, Backup, Emulators, and I can still shop in Wii store.

What you need to do is use the AnyTitleDeleter and delete all system files. Then install the cios. All will be ok after that.

I'll try that.

This sounds extraordinarily dangerous.

How would this resolve anything for a 3.4 (really 3.3 incremental) wii?

I thought that AnyTitle Deleter was not installing anything and so won't suffer from this update, am I wrong ?

Technically, you could smply delete IOS taht are important (like the ones used by Twilight and the HBC) and reinstall them using Updates from legit gamedisc ?

First, ypu can not delete ALL system files
Second, you can not install CIOS when you have no more way to do the installation, you first need to get back older versions of what you previosuly erased

Very interesting... which IOS would these be? I'd be willing to test this out if I find out what IOS to remove using AnyTitle and find a suitable disc with updates.

has it been confirmed to be safe or not?

Zelda uses IOS9
HBC (Beta8) uses IOS21

 

[Hideous]

It's not safe, no.

I'm guessing BootMii will prove to be very useful now.

I'll be back with updates

UPDATE: AnyTitle isn't able to delete them.

Back to the drawing board.

I hope you know what you are doing... there is no proof that this is safe and even that it will works

I dunno if a deleted IOS can be reinstalled via a disc update

UPDATE: after looking at the code, it won't even work
the User identification required for accessing stuff is using a fake signature

 

[idunnoilikends]

so we can't access the shop channel
i have 1900 legit points...
and i guess they want me to turn to piracy cause im not getting rid of my homenrew

you have the homebrew channel ? then you can still use homebrew
either wait for a fix or update and spend your points, there is nothing there to (apparently) arm you unless you are installing pirated stuff

It's beginning to a look a little dire for updated Wiis without any homebrew channel on them.

Isn't it possible to make a wad from the new shop channel and install that instead of updating? People who have updated could easily make a nand backup and make a wad from it so others don't need to update...

 

[Ghork]

I updated today but now I can't install wads, wich I where testing to inject and then I accidently removed all homebrew channels except the "Hombrew channel" with the unistall wad thingy (I thought I could choose wich to uninstall)

 

[fuuuuuu]

They add all this but there is no YouTube support? I say crazy man!

Not sure if this was already mentioned as i havent read the 20 pages yet but.....Youtube works with the opera browser anyway so....? Whats the deal?

Probably meant something like a channel or better wii-controls for youtube (does it matter...?)

Can someone change the title of this thread to "23 Oct update" or similar, instead of 3.4?
