[TUTORIAL] Install BootMii!

Post by TheCoCo8 »

Automatically translated from French.

Image unavailable (removed by its host) Here is a tutorial explaining how to install BootMii to let your Wii survive in case of a brick. IMPORTANT: Neither I nor the Tgames forum can be held responsible for problems resulting from the use of this tutorial. So know that you use it at your own risk.

Required equipment:
  • An SD card
  • A way to read your SD card via your computer
  • The pack to download


File to download:
This content is for members only. Log in or register for free to see it.
UPDATE: HackMii Installer v0.5

Official Site:BootMii.org

  1. Once you've got the pack, you need to extract it to the root of your SD card.
  2. You put your SD card into your Wii and you launch the program using the Homebrew channel. You'll get this:

  3. Press the " 1 " key, and you'll get this page:
    Image unavailable (removed by its host)
  4. Press the " A " key to continue, and access the HackMii installer Menu, where you'll be able to choose to install:
    • The Homebrew channel
    • DVDx
    • BootMii
    Image unavailable (removed by its host)
  5. For those who already have the Homebrew Channel installed on your Wii, first choose " Uninstall The Homebrew Channel " (this step isn't essential, you can directly install the channel "over" the one you have. But I'd still advise uninstalling it first, it only takes a few seconds...).
  6. Once that's done, install the channel by confirming " Install The Homebrew Channel ". This will let you update the channel, to 1.02.
    Image unavailable (removed by its host)
  7. (Optional) Afterwards if you want to install DVDx, when you're on the installer's Menu, select " DVDx ", then press " A " to continue the installation:

  8. Then, you can finally install BootMii! still by selecting " BootMii... " from the Menu, you'll get to this page:
    Image unavailable (removed by its host)
  9. By relying on this Topic, choose an installation on the Boot2 or else on an IOS.
    Let yourself be guided by the instructions the installer gives you...
    And there you go! BootMii is installed on your Wii!
  10. Now, you need to prepare your SD card, and for that nothing simpler! Go back to the installer's Menu, then to " BootMii...", and choose " Prepare a SD card "
  11. You're finally ready to use this famous program that is BootMii! ;)

Here's a video by Baordeur (Thank you ;) ) showing the installation of BootMii! In this video you'll notice that he installs DVDx (optional) and BootMii both in Boot2 and also in IOS! (which isn't mandatory, either one is enough)

Great tutorial (I was about to make one myself xD) but however I think this step is optional (the one where you uninstall the homebrew channel) because I installed homebrew channel 1.0.2 with all the fuss without uninstalling it and then I go back to the homebrew channel and bam I'm on 1.0.2 ;)

Perfect, and don't worry about the spelling, it's spot on! (I found two mistakes, and that's really looking hard ^^)

Thanks for the tutorial!

Well I've got nothing to say, you could leave me some Dosce :93:
Otherwise I might be wrong but I keep finding a conjugation mistake on this forum: "Neither me, nor the Tgames forum will be abLE"
Shouldn't that in principle be first person plural and not third? Which would give us "be able to".

@Sylux: Yes about the spelling mistake you're right, I rushed a bit at the end, and that part, I did a copy/paste from another TUTORIAL... Anyway the important thing is that it's fixed! Thanks guys ;)

@Jeanluc60: for your bricked wii, if you have no way to access the homebrew channel you won't be able to install BootMii. Otherwise, I don't see what would stop you. ;)

Great tutorial Thecoco8 ;)

But I think it would have been good to add the bit about bad sectors not being a big deal because otherwise there are going to be plenty of people who -like me- will ask the question, right? :roll:

@Jeanluc60: like thecoco8 I don't think there will be a problem with the installation, however I don't see the point if it's semi bricked because if you don't have a copy of your nand from when it was in good condition it won't be of any use to you. ;)

Anyway, if it's a semi-brick and if you have the homebrew channel installed, you can always downgrade normally by launching the necessary homebrews through the homebrew channel.

This tutorial doesn't cover using bootMii but it would be important to mention that those who later want to make a backup of their nand will find their SD formatted by bootMii before the backup operation. :o

Thanks for this tutorial :74:

Great Thanks Boardeur! I just edited my first post! ;)

I might ask you to make one on using BootMii, but I'll let you know more precisely about that later! I've got an oral exam to prepare for tomorrow... :o

EDIT:
@ s.julien7: It all depends on what you mean by "crack" because that's not exactly the right term... Do you want to be able to launch backups, without a chip, from the disc channel? from an external hard drive? Install the Homebrew Channel? Install a homebrew that lets you play US and JAP games? or all of that at once? ^^
