ok.. but the issue is that I never installed or even used starfall..I went (for my wii) directly to preloader 0.28^^

so when you tell me:

"to uninstall starfall you select the already installed hacks"
I don't understand sorry ^^ :98:

and, when you advise me that:

"choose Uninstall with the left or right arrows on your wii controller."
you probably want me to uninstall it with wad installer..?!

so, if I understand correctly, to uninstall starfall (from the nand..let's be clear on that)
You just need to run the uninstall like any other channel or wad..,?

thanks again, I did look thoroughly on the board..but nothing as a tip :(

Starfall is your system menu.

And the rescue menu activated by starfall is (I'm going to surprise you!) an official menu created by Nintendo, so no use removing it, it won't change anything since it's already present but hidden via a button combination (up + left + down + right on a disassembled Gamecube controller.)...

Tgames, why do you need to disassemble a Gamecube controller I don't understand :?:

Because you can't press left, right, up and down at the same time on the Gamecube controller so you need to disassemble the Gamecube controller and sand down the part supporting the buttons. This technique is very useful for someone who has bricked their wii without installing starfall!!

well thanks to you all..
everything went well my friend isn't part of the 9% of people who suffered a brick..a severe one..

so, now I'll know that starfall just "serves" to activate a hidden bigN function...

interesting.. there must be others..^^

hello everyone I installed starfall successfully because when I press power with y I do get a black screen with version 3.2 E but then the tutorial says this?

What to do if my Wii is bricked?

- Put your SD card into your computer.
- Delete everything on your SD card.
- Copy/paste to the root of your SD card the "boot.dol" file which is in the "cIOS Downgrader" folder
- Put the SD card into your Wii.
But when you have a black screen you don't have access to the homebrew channel desktop so how do you launch the boot.dol also we see zelda images ?I copied the zelda exploit onto the console who could be more precise on the tutorial thanks

To debrick with starfall, you need: the twilight hack save on the wii.
then you insert zelda into the wii and while holding the y button you'll be able to launch zelda and load the hacked save to run the boot.dol at the root of your SD.

If you're on 3.2 and you installed the preloader, that's normal it can't find your system menu.
Because the preloader moves it ;)

Bravo for this wonderful tutorial

I just followed this tutorial and everything works perfectly

I do have a few questions though

I carefully checked the messages and if I understand correctly

In case of a brick I erase the content of my sd card and install on this card

The boot.dol

I put in the zelda disc, plug in a GC controller, and press the Y button while holding it, the zelda save runs and executes the downgrade program

Did I understand correctly??

Now my question, since I'm worried about updates, my Internet connection is always disabled

How will the downgrade be executed if the console doesn't connect to the wireless access point

If that's indeed the case starfall won't be able to work

Thanks for telling me if I'm mistaken???

Yes. But you're not forced to remove everything, you just need to have the boot.dol properly at the root ;)

You plug in your GC controller, turn on the wii while holding Y on the GC Pad, as soon as you see your firmware written at the bottom right, you put in your Zelda game, load the save as usual etc... and it loads your dol ;)

You need internet, otherwise you won't be able to downgrade.
Worst case you can manually install the right WADs, but that's very dangerous..

Thanks Tgame so I had understood correctly the connection must always be active because if a brick happens with wifi disabled I'm screwed

so the connection must be activated and properly configured

because there's no way to change the settings with starfall

Thank you for this great site and all your software

Hi everyone!
I'm new here and not very good with computers, but I installed the homebrew channel, launch manager gamma, or something like that. But when I tried to install Starfall, at the point where there's the error "press B+2" when it's actually B+1. So I press B+1, and then this shows up:
Failed
Exiting...

Or maybe it was the other way around...Can anyone help me?

well I think you're right =p.
But it seems to me you can disable updates with starfall.
