I read here that someone made a dump of their nand with 0.6 and got an error message on installation saying it's not their nand (key)

If you're referring to me Oops, I made a stupid mistake :shock:

- I had hackmii installer v0.3 but bootmii wasn't installed,
- I upgraded HBC and divix with v0.6 and then I installed bootmii but I didn't change the hackmii file because I had the old version of bootmii (visible in the info in the bootmii menu obviously :98: )
- So I reinstalled bootmii,
- Re-dumped my NanD and tried reinstalling it again which finally worked :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: (with a few bad blocks anyway...)

ps: sorry for the recurring "re"s but it's to properly show that I struggled for nothing basically, because of an old mistake :93:

Hello, to back up your NAND on a 1 gb SD card, does the SD card need to be empty.

Let me explain: I accidentally backed up my NAND onto the hack SD card (used to boot the wii, and with all the basic utilities on it, also 1 GB). My finger stayed a bit too long on the confirm button of the GC controller, which meant I couldn't switch SD card during the operation :accord: .
The NAND was copied successfully and there's still 400 MB left.

Do I need to start over with a blank SD card?

Thanks and well done for all the work.

It's preferable to do it with a freshly formatted SD, but if you let bootmii do the file check and it didn't find any errors, it should be fine ;)

Hello,

During installation, I don't have the choice between boot 2 and IOS, it only offers me IOS.
How do I get the choice for Boot 2

If I install it in IOS do I need a preloader, if so which version?

Thanks in advance

you don't have a choice, you install in ios, it's better than nothing, then as for the preloader you need to know your wii's firmware to match it with the right version, the right version of hacks.ini.

OK thanks

maybe it's stuck because of some software blocking the version check.
When I do the tutorial my wii isn't connected to internet but apparently there's no need
If anyone has an idea

nah no better... hmm your SD wouldn't happen to be a 4GB or more, SDHC, would it!! that can cause issues but I doubt it here.

Ah ok because I can't do boot2, I don't have that option.
But in IOS to back up my NAND how do I launch the boot mii menu.

OK thanks a lot

One more small question, apparently with the preloader I can launch the HBC without needing to go through the SM first, if so how do I do that?

Hi, to start off thanks for this great tutorial, but before putting it into practice I'd like to know if the cioscorp could install automatically with pimp my wii (I know it sounds surprising but I'd rather ask) and also is there a way to know whether it's installed or not. So thanks in advance for your answers gamers
