Yes Bootmii is Boot2 (had no choice, purple line)

And yes it's the preloader that I see, one time out of 2..or the HBC (the content)

For info if I launch an Original game via Wii Gator 0.3 it launches perfectly.
But a copy doesn't work.

with the homebrew SignCheck
available here

you launch it and press reset several times!

at the end you'll have a .txt file on your sd
there you go

show me the result here!

edit: for info you have bootmii installed in ios there! no boot2 on the new wiis!

I won't throw stones at you, I had the same trick happen to me: you need to set in the "Settings" menu the "Autoboot" option to "System menu" (rather than "Disabled")

To go back to the Preloader afterward, Hold the console's Reset button for 5 seconds.

Hirogens wrote:Hello,

I've tried a ton of tutorials..and nothing works...

I just followed this tutorial for the 4.2E..

it doesn't work better than before...even worse...

I no longer have the channels, it boots straight to the text menu or to the HBC.
(I'm going to try a solution found on this site)

and above all I still have my error 342..

And of course since I'm a total idiot, I didn't make a NAND backup before all these steps

White Wii bought on 12/22/2009 serial: LEH27978

OS 4.0E originally, updated by me to 4.2E

If someone can help me...
The "boot on a text menu" is very likely the preloader's default boot. Set in "Settings" the "autoboot" to "system menu" and you'll find the default system menu at startup again (hold the console's "Reset" button for 5 seconds to go back to the autoboot)

If it doesn't want to boot to the system menu then the system menu is dead and you need to reinstall it:
for that copy Wadmanager into \Apps\Wadmanager on the SD and get the 4.2E system menu ("RVL-WiiSystemmenu-v482.wad") to copy into a \WAD folder at the root of the SD, this Wad file can easily be retrieved with NUSD (https://www.mediafire.com/?nqjdzmzzjmk)
Note: The system menu will be reinstalled but the preloader will be removed. The hacks set to "true" stored in the NAND (the Wii's memory) will remain active

Given that we have roughly the same setup, have you managed to launch copies of your games?
It's in my signature: I launch games with USBLOADER_GX from a 3.5 external hard drive. It's fast, nice-looking (usbloader downloads the 3D covers of the games and I put stickers on the DVDs that spin when you launch a game. The presentation makes you think of scrolling through albums on an ipod to give you an idea.
On the other hand it seems impossible to launch copies of games via the DVD drive, it's physical with the new Wiis. physically swapping with an "old" DVD drive from an older Wii shows that it instantly becomes possible again

I wanted to go straight to 4.2 (a path that isn't the easiest for hacking) in anticipation of updating other consoles in the family. at least now I know how to do it.

that's the leftover from a ciospack! lool* or if you didn't put it it's a stub
(but no big deal we don't use it!)

otherwise your wii is well set up you have the flaws in the right place....

you already have everything you need!! now for your preloader startup problem
the solution was added to my tutorial or given just above!
otherwise well done you even installed hermes's cios! :74:

edit: does your preloader launch at wii startup? that's normal ...
to fix that go to the "setting" menu
then set the options:
"Autoboot": to "system menu" as well as
"return to": to "system menu"
save. and exit!
To go back to the Preloader afterward,
Turn on the console while holding RESET!!! there you go

For darkscad:

About the preloader:
I set "Block game updates" to "Enabled" in the Hacks, saved, turned off the console.
Inserting the original DVD of "Wii Sport Resort" keeps offering me an update

Note: I also enabled the "Disable Health warning" hack but launching any game still starts with the "Use the wrist strap ..." screen.
Are the hacks from the hacks.ini of the 4.2 package inactive?

Ok Thanks everyone, preloader problem is solved.

But now, so why can't I launch my Backups?
Isn't it possible with the new Wiis, as I read all over the place?

are we forced to go through an external hard drive?

no it NORMALLY shouldn't offer you the update...
try reinstalling the preloader ... but first remove all the hacks! (disable)
then try again ...
that's weird 00
