I tried cboot2, but I cannot get it to load in bootmii IOS mode (run through the HBC). It does load through bootmii on boot2 tho. What gives?
QUOTE(Oirish @ Oct 1 2009, 11:36 AM) Ok, downloaded cboot2, extracted it to the root of my SD card and replaced the bootmii folder with the new one but I can't find anywhere to run cboot2
I know I'm being a pain in the ass lads but believe me, my 7 year old daughter and I thank you.
ok, basically you both need to have had the latest bootmii installed, which means you had the latest homebrew homebrew installer and selected "prepare SD Card" and installed bootmii as both boot2 and as IOS just to be thorough
then you need to store the "bootmii" folder from your SD card on your PC and delete it off of your SD Card. Then move the cBoot2 files over to the sd card which should be
boot.dol
startup.elf
and a folder called "bootmii"
those 3 items go on the root of your SD card.
once you have done that, EVERYTIME you start up your wii with that SD card in it, it should automatically start cBoot2 all by itself and it will excecute whatever is in the boot.dol file, meaning if you have the WAD Manager one, it will start that.
you also need a copy of IOS249.wad in your "wad" folder on the root of your sd card. That way when WAD Manager starts you can select IOS249 to remove it from your Wii.
You are doing this because Nintendo stubbed IOS249 and you are removing that stub so that you can replace it with your own custom IOS249
after you have removed it you have to get the cIOS Installer "boot.dol" for use with cBoot2, the links SHOULD be at the beginning of this thread
once you have that you swap it out with the previous "boot.dol" file you had on the root of your SD Card and now when you boot up your wii it will automatically start cIOS Installer instead of WAD Manager, now you have to press left all the way till it gives you don't reload any IOS option
then just go through the instructions and select network install and it should install your cIOS revision 14
after that your backup loaders and USB loaders should work.
if you are interested in preloader at this time I WOULD NOT TOUCH IT WITH A 10 FOOT POLE.
I only say that because they aren't very compatible right now, but everything else should work fine.
any other cIOS you need to install now can like Hermes IOS222 can be done via the homebrew channel now and through IOS249 because you have replaced it so now it doesn't block things anymore.
don't forget to remove the boot.dol startup.elf and bootmii folder from your SD card and put the real proper bootmii folder back on, and you should be done.
