Very handy this tuto, because a lot of people who start out in Wii hacking don't always understand this trick!

Great work as always Mister Wantose! ;)

What should people with version 3.4 do then?
That's my case and the tuto doesn't work for my version.

Hi, I wanted to know at what point during the flashing installation the wii risks getting bricked on version 3.4E and whether it's possible to know beforehand if it's going to brick?
And just in case, how to unbrick it??

Very very little chance of it bricking, the only time you can brick your Wii is during the downgrade if you did it wrong, so well...

Hello,
I followed the instructions given by this tutorial but the console crashes telling me it can't find the Boot.ele file
I'm on V3.2 not downgraded
Thanks for shedding some light for me, my lantern is running out of oil :lol:
