off topic:
lol for me no exams this year! :P

on topic:

So we forgot to answer our new friend s.julien7. So let's recap:

-you want to install all the hacks to read backups.

well to start I'd recommend putting your wii on 3.2 if it isn't already (see here if that one doesn't suit you pick another one listed right at the top ;) )

Then you need to install the homebrew channel: here

Once you've done that install the ciospack: here (start from the big 2)

After that all you have left to do is update cios 36 or 38 I forget which, you'll find the latest version on the forum! ;)

But before anything I recommend installing bootmii by following the tutorial in the 1st post, it'll protect you in case of error ;)

Hors sujet
For your help on the Iphone, that could interest me but not right away. I'm waiting for Apple's WWDC conference, to see what new things they offer :D

Little info. It was implied but the nand contains the game saves so if you restore your nand that means deleting the game saves you created between the backup and the restore. Just so we're clear...

Hiya! Well I've got a little issue installing bootmii (yeah I'm only getting to it now!):

wii config= 4.0E+Cios Rev13b.

I don't have the "launch Bootmii" button in the Homebrew channel when I press the home button (I'm on version 1.0.3)... Yet I did properly uninstall then reinstall the HC! Then dvdx, then bott2 and finally prepare SD did generate the "bootmii" file at the root.

PS: How do I get the Bootmii menu when starting up the wii console? Only through preloader?? or do I need to install via bannerbomb??

There you go! Thanks for your help!

the presence of the bootmii button in hbc only applies to people who have bootmii as a cios. you must have done the installation as boot2 which is the best solution. Now to get the bootmii menu, in order to make a backup of your nand for example, you need to have the bootmii folder at the root of the sd and turn on your wii. to avoid starting on the bootmii menu you rename the folder to bootmii_old for example.

Edit:In bootmii installer v0.2 you should have a "prepare the sd" function which installs the bootmii folder at the root of your sd

Ok, thanks for the reply Oops 8-) Actually I do have the "bootmii" folder at the root with 3 files inside:

- armboot.bin
- bootmii.ini
- ppcboot.elf

The boot2 install went fine (I did the bootmii_check.elf test...it's ok!). Yet when I restart the wii no boot2 to the bootmii menu!? :?

ah ok thanks plus it's mentioned above I hadn't seen it ^^ so you need a bootmii folder at the root and inside it the 3 files ^^ ok thanks.


Atupac => format your sd with SD Formater V.2 and copy the bootmii folder to the root and tell us if it works ;)

hi everyone!
I'd like to know, I installed the cios pack 3.4dmm, preloader 0.29, V14. :|

My wii is on 3.2E my homebrew channel is an old version
(update via internet impossible).

I want to install Bootmii as boot2...
what should I do?

I'm scared of messing something up because the ciospack and the preloader are already installed....

:o

great TUTORIAL, just one thing, when I install Bootmi, I don't get a choice to put it on boot2

I get a message at the start: can only be installed as an IOS
the installed boot1 version prevents a boot2 install (-2)

how come...

HELP ME???

TUTORIAL file updated with the new HackMii Installer v0.5!

@lightning: Try the new HackMii Installer v0.5 if that wasn't already the case. Or else you're one of the "few" people who have a Wii that's not compatible with installing BootMii to Boot2...

Ah yes! double post... :D

For any issue regarding installing BootMii etc... I invite you to come to this TUTORIAL much more detailed and precise than this one, made by Xav21.

I'm locking this one and I'll move it to the Trash by the end of the day!
