Hacking Wii Update: 3.3U Out

[RetroVortex]

I'm an idiot...
not only have I removed my cIOS, after "downgrading" to 3.2E, but because I updated in the first place I'm stuck with no WAD installing capabilities at all...
I wonder, if my wii's system says is 3.2E, would updating to the old 3.3E fix my problems?
(I guess that it won't... my guess is that if I put a game in, it wouldn't prompt an update at all... but if so, We would need to find a european game with the 3.3E in it... Curiously enough after I "downgraded" I was prompted to update when I put my brawl disc back in so who knows...)

EDIT: Interestingly enough, out of curiosity I wonder if using the update function in the wii settings would work, and it started to download an update.
Whether it was the new 3.3E or the old one I wasn't sure, as I turned my wii off to stop the potential risk of making everything worse... maybe it could be a possible fix for people in my unique situation, if someone can get the old 3.3E and make a program which will install the old 3.3IOSes it over the current IOSes of the new update.
Knowing me, I'm probably completly wrong....)

it doesnt matter which update you currently have, updating gives you the very latest firm.

but the disc option sounds good. i believe brawl has the update without the IOS patches on it, because it was brought out long before the patches were.

im confused... i ran tona's update (thanks

) but what does the fake signing thing do?
I said yes when it asked me..during the install. just curious though.


ALSO: looks like the wii shop update timed out during the install? how can i restart it? (it still says the wii as it 3.1)
redo the whole thing?????

Wii Homebrew Broswer v9 is out! You can install this with the update.

Now how do I install the cIOS with the update already installed?

QUOTE(FROM_-_The_Homebrew_Channels_README @ Oct 25 2008, 10:15 PM)"A special note about System Updates:
The Homebrew Channel relies on certain security flaws (fakesigned TMD and ticket) that exist in older versions of the Wii's software. The most recent update as of this writing (dated 23 October 2008) was the first update to completely correct these flaws. This version of The Homebrew Channel incorporates a workaround for this (by exploiting a different flaw), and will work with this version of the Wii's software. However, this new flaw may also be fixed in the future. When it is, you may not be able to install this channel for the first time."

This is interesting! Does this mean that this same "new" exploit can be used to install WADs again!?

Updating HBC now. Not going to install the update yet though. I'm gonna hold off until Animal Crossing comes out (if it makes me update). I could use Gecko OS but... eh.

I think I have 3.3v2J and I don't have cIOS37. I have HBC. I have to run cIOS Downgrader 1.0/1.1 since running 1.2 or the normal IOS Downgrader automatically reboots the Wii. I used the alternative PatchMii that installs cIOS36 I believe and now whenever I try to install cIOS rev3 or downgrade it gives me a ticket error. Does this mean I have to wait for a fix to appear or is there already a fix?

I am at 3.2U, so if I install IOS51 and the new shop channel. Will that put my Wii at 3.3U but without all the patchs to the other IOS that break homebrew?

GREAT! It worked perfectly on my PAL Wii 3.3E!

 

[Reiniku]

So I just actually recently found out about the whole homebrew scene for the wii (like an hour ago?), I actually updated to 3.3u when it was released a few days ago and have now installed the homebrew channel with the recently updated files.

What can I do from this point? Should I downgrade back to 3.2 or something to get anything actually running (mostly looking to get VC games / WAD Installer working), or does a working homebrew channel mean I can simply use the latest wad installer to install VC games?

Guiz, do you think if I format my wii I could downgrade? Cuz when I try the downgrader, I pick it, the screen turns black, and goes back to the wii menu.

 

[Arm the Homeless]

Formatting the Wii will not let you downgrade.

It only removes user installed things (channels, Message Board stuff, save data, etc.) it does not revert or change the IOS.

That......is........
Well do you have any other ideas? Because I installed that update like an idiot and I don't know what to do.

You have to wait until a cIOS update which can bypass the current check (like HBC Beta 9) comes out.

IN your blog it said I could just revert to 3.2 via the cIOS downgrader, BUT, I can't use it. So there is nothing I can do?

Read more. I said that you need to have had cIOS previously installed, or else anything cIOS related won't work.
Nothing you can do.

He says it in his blog:
'You can't revert the changes if you didn't have a cIOS installed prior to the update.'
Or something like that. You'll have to wait like everyone else! Unfortunately =(

He beat me to it... =P

Well I installed it I think because I think the backup Launcher needed it. So am I safe? It was like cIOS 249 or something like that.

 

[WiiShizzza]

check with anytitledeleter if you got ios249.
just to make sure, you're really "save"

If AnyTD gives errors at the begining, you possible got the 3.3 update.
which doesnt bother you if you have that ios249
