I'm a newbie I'd like some details about bootmii and the Bootmii nand backup step
I read you can't do bootmii in boot 2 on black wiis so I install it in ios? and what is that boot 2 iso (boot 2 could mean there's another way to boot your wii but ios...)

to start the wii it goes through several steps boot1, boot2, system menu. Bootmii on the earlier consoles replaced boot2 with a modified version. today that's no longer possible, however there's still the possibility of installing bootmii in IOS (the wii is full of them

) and that's still better than nothing.

So here's the latest news:

Bootmii installed in IOS :'( I backed up the nand on a separate sd, everything went fine but when I wanted to restore it to test it wouldn't work......I still took the risk of continuing....

Then 2nd problem and following the deletion of ios249, well I didn't manage to install ios 249 rev 14, it doesn't appear in the selection list..... I still continued by selecting ios 36......

3rd problem: Preloader installed OK: but impossible to access the hacked System menu, indeed I get an error message saying it's impossible to find the hacks.ini file (which is however right at the root of my SD).

despite all that usb loader gx works and the games too, but I don't dare play because since the preloader isn't activated to block updates....

So there, I reread everything carefully and I don't think I forgot any steps, I'm asking for your help to properly finish the procedure, and play safely without the knot in my stomach from wrecking my wii that's only a few hours old...

Thank you very much to everyone for your help and how quickly you replied.

to restore with bootmii you need a Game Cube pad but you don't need to do it, your wii is fine

For your 2nd problem you did as needed

for the preloader try with this hacks.ini

4th, no worries, there are no updates on your HDD. you can play without fear but

I'd rather recommend Wiiflow 1.1 instead of GX. Plus there's a really nice channel

Post by **djnatoo** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 21:02

That's not slow at all!

so for the boot mii I did indeed see that I could force the install with a game cube pad but I didn't dare take that step.... so this message seems normal then. good thing!

For the hack ini file, I'll try it right away.

and for wii flow won't it risk conflicting with usb loader gx? why do I keep seeing several times people against this usb loader? I've never had a problem, very fast game installs, and I love the aesthetics.

Well I'll keep you posted but my girlfriend put herself in front of the tv I'm going to have to negotiate ^^

Well then negotiation update: it's dead, I have to wait for the end of "the mummy" lol

so in the files do I replace hack.ini and also the preloader's boot.dol?

for now they're identical, we'll see when I can try

We have nothing against GX but once you've tried wiiflow, downloaded the covers, tested the themes from the full pack and the different coverflows (press 1 several times) you'll find GX's aesthetics rather average in comparison

Post by **djnatoo** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 21:16

Well there's everything the same on GX according to the wiiflow youtube video.
the channel, the covers, I even have the game descriptions, the dvd labels, the themes, the different game displays.....
but I'll try it anyway

if wiiflow works it means you installed cios 249 perfectly.

Bad news I just tried during the commercial break the hacks ini file you posted for me but nothing works no change at all....

Post by **Oops** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 21:54

Are you really on 4.2!!?? in the preloader, settings, you should have:

- systemmenu
- systemmenu
- off for all the others
- IOS70 for the last one

and I was wondering... would you happen to have a 4GB SD or more!!??

Post by **djnatoo** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 22:00

Yes I have an 8GB SD... shouldn't I have? yet the same card worked with the preloader on white wii on 4.2E

For the setting I'll check and let you know

Post by **djnatoo** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 22:03

Even with your settings it doesn't work... only the first 2 parameters were different.

Post by **Oops** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 22:07

maybe there's a compatibility problem with your SD and this version of the preloader

Anyway SDHC remains problematic because some homebrew doesn't support them at all. Nothing beats a good old 2GB

Post by **djnatoo** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 22:09

Ok...... and otherwise wouldn't preloader 0.30 be better?

Post by **cici1905** » Sun 27 Dec 2009 22:33

uhm ok I'm starting

Post by **Phil-ippe** » Mon 28 Dec 2009 00:21

Thanks, works wonderfully

Post by **Pando** » Mon 28 Dec 2009 00:44

Say, small question out of curiosity, I saw that the principle of Bannerbomb was to exploit a flaw in the channel loading to execute code and install Bootmii/HBC/DVDX. Is that why the wii crashes now every time I try to open the Data Management/Channel/SD Card menu? Or else do I have something left on my sd card that it really doesn't like? xD

Post by **yumiki** » Mon 28 Dec 2009 00:47

another issue

do I need 2 sd cards? (well I have 2 but I use them for other things...)
does the 2nd sd need to be formatted beforehand?

One SD was enough for the entire tutorial for me, as long as the backup of your nand created by Hackmii (nand.bin file which weighs around 500 Mb) + all your apps for the Homebrew channel fit on it, it shouldn't be a problem

That implies as said in the tutorial a 1 Go SD to be safe!

I don't know what made you think you needed 2 SDs

A little clarification on a point that intrigued me the first time and that might have (maybe) made you think that:

Regarding the lines that talk about "Prepare the SD", it's just referring to choices in the menus that add files to your SD (config/settings files) so that the Homebrews present on your card work correctly. That's the case with Hackmii which asks for a Prepare SD Card option.
