[OUTDATED] Launch backups on a non-chipped Wii from A to Z

Post by **caro** » Tue 11 Nov 2008 17:13

Hello everyone

I'm going step by step to set up version 3.2 but I have a problem, it tells me to do this: Copy/paste the "boot.elf" file located in the "[Channel] Hombrew Channel 9" folder to the root of your SD card.
But I don't have a "boot.elf" file, only a "boot.dol" file?????

please help me thanks

so I also spent half my night on this Cios which I can't manage to install... I tried the method with the file to extract from mario kart and at the end it gives me ERROR (ret -2011).

If I use the method in this topic's tutorial do I have to use starfall?? (I don't have a gamecube controller)

another question, since I went back to 3.2e, when I launch mario kart it asks me for an update .. should I do it?? or is there a way to block the update??

thanks for the tutorial and thanks for your replies

so I tried with the forum tutorial that is cios 0.3 and it's still the same error 2011!! my downgrade must be fine because when I put in mario kart it asks me to update!!!!

nobody's had this experience, I'm searching but I can't find anything!!

thanks for your replies

Ok who can help me??

Does this mean we won't be able to play mario kart and others anymore???? oh noooo

Here Caro, I converted the boot.dol file to boot.elf for you
You just need to follow the tutorial now!

Post by **caro** » Tue 11 Nov 2008 19:54

oh great that's so nice of you thanks thecoco8!! I'll follow the tutorial tonight

I hope I'll manage it

Post by **Wantose** » Tue 11 Nov 2008 20:01

I made a mistake.

The file was named boot.dol and not boot.elf, I fixed it in my tutorial

Let me explain, you're not required to install Starfall but it's strongly recommended! (Using the controller is useless otherwise, it's just to be able to launch starfall in case of a brick, if your wii bricks you'll buy a controller I think it's worth it if it's to fix your Wii ...) and if you want to block updates install Starfall, that prevents you from doing updates

And if it gives you an error installing cIOS 0.3, are you sure you have internet on your Wii?

ah okkkkkkkkkkkk lol ^^ ok so I'll put boot.dol then!! thanks and see you very soon!!

kisses have a good evening

Hello everyone!!

I'm doing the steps in this tutorial!! I'm at phase III, do I need to do them all?? even the optional ones?

What should I leave on the SD card for the games to work??

Thanks for answering me friends and see you soon kisses

Post by **TheCoCo8** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 09:57

The Optional parts, as the name suggests, aren't mandatory for the Backup Launcher to work. Afterward it's advisable to do them, especially Starfall, because in case the Wii bricks, it can save it! But you don't have to install it right away, you can do this step later if you want!

And what you should leave on your SD card is written in step 4! (well it's what you can remove but it amounts to the same thing)

Post by **caro** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 10:01

yeah indeed I just read level IV

and I just did it!!! for starfall I just did it too!! but how do I know 100% that it's installed? so I pressed Y on startup and it does say 3.2E and then I released the Y button so the wii would start up to the menu, is that right?? because if I keep holding Y the whole time nothing happens except a black screen with 3.2E written in the bottom right corner!!

please clarify this for me

Post by **TheCoCo8** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 10:12

In case of a brick (= no more access at all to the Wii menu), Starfall is used to boot Zelda and thus use the exploit to be able to launch a Downgrade homebrew ==> which restores the Wii!
This black screen with "3.2e" written on the bottom left, is the screen where Starfall will boot the Zelda game in case of a brick!

If you get this screen, that means you installed Starfall correctly!

Post by **caro** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 10:44

ah ok! when I released the Y button, did zelda launch? maybe because I left the game in the wii??

also is it good, did I install it right or not?

Post by **caro** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 10:48

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh oh my god I launch an original game here "mario kart" and when I want to go back to home it won't go there, the game relaunches

is my wii bricked?? what should I do

Post by **TheCoCo8** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 11:01

Did you try turning your Wii off and back on?

Post by **caro** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 11:10

yes and I have the WII menu there!! ah it's fine I launched the game and I can go back to the menu phew

Ok now I need to test a game on dvd but I don't have one yet lol^^ hope it'll work

kisses and thanks a lot thecoco8 for helping me throughout my whole wii journey!!

have a good day see you very soon

As Thecoc8 said very well, it's not mandatory but certain steps are strongly recommended like Starfall!

Also, it's normal for it to display 3.2 and launch Zelda, that's the point!

Because if your Wii is bricked, you launch Starfall by holding Y, you put in Zelda and on your SD you place cIOS Downgrader, you downgrade your Wii and everything's perfect

!

Otherwise, now that you've installed Starfall, this lets you block updates, it's very handy!

Post by **caro** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 12:14

However when I go to the shop channel it asks me to do an update

???? what should I do???

Post by **Wantose** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 15:11

Whatever you do, don't do it!

Otherwise, you won't be able to put modified files on your Wii anymore. For now don't access the Wii shop.

Post by **caro** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 15:28

Ok wantose thanks

anyway I hardly ever go to the wii shop

see you soon kisss

Post by **Wantose** » Wed 12 Nov 2008 16:22

You're welcome

There's a cIOS that lets you access the shop channel, but it seems pretty complicated to install!

I'm waiting for more answers on that and I'll make you a tutorial, promise!

Thanks wantose for the 3.3 v1 to 3.2 downgrade ^^ but a problem with starfall, when I start the Wii in unbrick mode with the Y button
the 3.2 image is ok and when I launch the zelda TP game the 3.2 disappears but nothing, black screen .... and yet I do have the SAV from twilight hack but the 3.3 version of twilight hack

Post by **slashman75** » Tue 18 Nov 2008 09:11

hi,

first thanks for the pack

my wii is on 3.3E v1 (so all good), but I'd like to downgrade it to 3.2 to be able to install starfall to avoid bricking my console.

I read the tutorial carefully, but the problem is I just moved and I no longer have an internet connection, so my question is "is there an alternative to do the downgrade without internet?"

thanks in advance for your replies

Post by **Crayer** » Tue 18 Nov 2008 16:41

ha no starfall works but actually it was the boot of my zelda that wasn't working... when I start the game via starfall and via disc channel a black screen ... except with backup
so I put any region changer and there was VIDEO MODE: NTSC -_-
so I put PAL and it worked ^^

there you go thanks ^^

Post by **Wantose** » Tue 18 Nov 2008 16:43

Okay for Crayer, since that got sorted out that's cool

As for Slashman75, I'm sorry but no, you do need internet on your Wii to do the downgrade.
