Hacking Wii Update: 3.3U Out

Who wants to take one for the team?

23 October 08: Nintendo has (finally) released an update which blocks fakesigning on all IOSes. As usual, updating is not recommended until further details and implications regarding homebrew are examined.

* This blocks new installations of anything fakesigned, that is, Homebrew Channel (both new installs and updates), unofficial wads (legal and illegal), Starfall, cIOS, BootMii, anything that installs IOSes secretly like AnyRegion Changer or AnyTitle Deleter, xyzzy and DVDX (used for apps which have DVD support). This list is not exhaustive, but please add to it if you think of anything else.
* This also blocks access to /dev/flash in all IOSes but IOS30, IOS31 and IOS37. This means raw nand dumping utilities, for example Yet Another Wii NAND Dumper, no longer work, since by default homebrew uses IOS35
* If something is already installed then it isn't affected, like Homebrew Channel, etc.
* The homebrew developers are already planning how to work around this update.
* You currently need this update to access the Wii Shop Channel.
* If you already have the Homebrew Channel and DVDX, and aren't planning to install anything big that will affect your Wii, then you are most likely unaffected. Normal everyday apps such as Homebrew Browser are completely unaffected as long as you already have the Homebrew Channel.
* It updates all IOSes with the fakesigning bug, and adds IOS51. .

The System Menu is still 3.3

To regain access to the shop channel without updating to the new 3.3, use these installers:

If you updated and have a cIOS, you can try using waninkoko's IOS Downgrader v1.0, to regain the IOSes with the signing bug.

Maybe Nintendo will be nice and re-enable Trucha signed discs.

 

[Midna]

And maybe they'll also include built in backup support too!

 

[GhostSonic]

Maybe they'll include USB HDD support with official ISO loading!

 

[Midna]

How about the ability to emulate ps4 and xbox 3675894578962 games?

Nintendo doesn't seem to post any information about patches, although fixing issues around hacking would either be secretly fixed or under the heading 'Minor security issues fixed.' If they did have a list of specific fixes I would feel compelled to test it out.

official dvd support?

 

[Rock Raiyu]

I think a homebrew enabled Wii should do it. Even if it does something, you can just change your fw back to 3.3 or 3.2 right?

Edit: Oh snap, one of my friends friends updates his Wii. He said is HBC is no longer working

 

[Forcystos]

I'm updating at the moment... stay tuned.

Running 3.2U with The Homebrew Channel installed. No custom IOS of any sort, no DVDx.

 

[GhostSonic]

Not if it blocks the homebrew channel and twilight hack.

 

[PKInferno]

During the update that tried to kill the Twilight hack, I remember the screen detailing the features of the update mentioning "fixed a data corruption problem with Zelda: Twilight Princess save". Why such a wonderful hack would be considered 'corrupt data' is a mystery...

The last update didn't remove already installed Homebrew Channel, so I don't think the update will be a problem
/speculation

 

[chaos_co]

The problem is the update could disable homebrew on the wii, making the update a one way trip.

 

[Midna]

I suppose this will fix "corrupted channels created by modified save data" or something like that if it does anything bad.

 

[acesniper]

If it does disable the HBC, cant we use the twilight hack to reinstall another one?

 

[GhostSonic]

The shop channel is saying that there's an update to the shop channel. And you can't go in with out it. So, who wants to take one for the team?

"A counter-attack against the recent software allowing pirated games to run on the system."
Cool.
