I'm going to try this tutorial I hope it'll work

Post by **mozemaster** » Thu 11 Mar 2010 14:12

hi everyone I could use some enlightenment on a few points

I used this tutorial to crack my wii, but I'm running into a small problem
I installed usb loader GX rev 919, but when I launch it it doesn't recognize my ext drive connected to the wii (formatted in wbfs, games already transferred), it shows me a little icon with a 30 sec countdown saying it's waiting for slow usb peripherals...

what should I do to be able to access my games and play them?

my ext drive is a seagate free agent desk 500go 3.5"
one primary wbfs partition, and another left in ntfs.

Post by **Oops** » Thu 11 Mar 2010 15:22

did you try with the other USB port? the one at the bottom when the wii is lying flat. it's possible that the position of the wbfs partition is also causing a problem.

Post by **mozemaster** » Thu 11 Mar 2010 18:08

yes, my wii is standing up, and it's plugged into the far right usb port
what do I need to do with my partition in that case?

Post by **Oops** » Thu 11 Mar 2010 18:38

reverse your partitions... which means, starting everything over from the beginning

the order must be FAT32/NTFS/WBSF and only primary partitions. the FAT32 partition (optional) lets you store applications for the wii and a dump of your nand for triiforce and sneek for example.

HEY, the part of the tutorial about patching ios 70 isn't quite accurate, because you also need the trucha box set to YES, otherwise it crashes on booting the system menu so autoboot to preloader and hbc gets uninstalled.

Disclaimer:
Warning: everything you do can be dangerous for your WII
neither I nor the forum administrator nor any member of the TGAMES forum
will be responsible for what you do.
For those who don't have two left hands but have a brain that works!!!

You gave in to NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII,
or you gave in to the internet update, your finger slipped putting I agree to do it...
before Hacking your wii you are now on 4.2E
Don't panic Softmod for 4.2E exists by doing simple steps.

WII 4.2 HACK

SD Preparation

1- Starting the HACK
Spoiler
Format your card (recommended minimum 1Go) as FAT!
avoid SDHC.
Download the 4.2e pack (write a message to unlock the message)
Complete WII 4.2E HACK Pack v.4
Hidden message

[align=center]Installing the Homebrews channel[/align]

Spoiler
Now that you've properly prepared your SD
Go to the SD card icon

You'll get this image. Confirm with A the YES option.
Image unavailable (removed by its host)

Confirm with "1" on the wii remote.

You'll have 3 choices:
- Install homebrew channel
- Install DVDX
- Install BOOTMII as BOOT2 like in the image or as IOS (in that case the line will be purple)
Image unavailable (removed by its host)
Install all 3 choices.
Press [continue] => [install the homebrew channel] => [yes,continue] => [continue]
Do the same with DVDX.
And most importantly Bootmii according to the option offered (boot2 or ios)
Don't forget to create the bootmii files on the SD card.

External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies.
PS: it's not necessary to install Bootmii as ios if you installed it as boot2 as in the video.

Tutorial by webs modified by me

[align=center]BOOTMII?[/align]
[align=center]Nand backup[/align]
Warning Important
Spoiler
Now we're going to carry out a crucial step, to protect against nasty surprises.(brick)
If you're at this step it's because you've installed Bootmii as boot2 or as ios.
We're going to do a DUMP (backup) of the Nand together.

What is the NAND??
it's the wii's internal memory it contains all the information of your wii,
such as your game saves, VC games (virtual console) and Wiiware ones as well as all the IOS or Cios built into the system.
To picture it we could compare the Nand backup to a TIMECAPSULE created at a given moment T.
In case of trouble (brick), we reinject the Nand via bootmii and we find ourselves back at that moment T.
So the saves and everything else... will be from the moment of THE BACKUP.

For that check out Xav91's illustrated tutorial
Do a Dump (backup) of your NAND of the console with Bootmii.

Important information
* Boot2 being impossible to install on the new Wiis... (white and black)
* Leave at least 528mo free on the SD card.
* I'd recommend a 1go or 2go max non-SDHC SD card formatted as FAT to do the nand dump.
*SD compatible with BOOTMII

Spoiler

The wiimote isn't recognized in the BootMII menu
To navigate the BootMII menu using the front buttons
- Power button to move (to the right)
- Reset button to confirm

or with the Gamecube controller
- directional pad for movement
- A to confirm

To start go to this icon with POWER then confirm with RESET.

*NAND backup*
confirm again on this icon with RESET.

you'll arrive at this image.(the background should be green, if it's red you're in Restore mode)

you're now ready to make the copy of the NAND.
Press the RESET key.

Copying the NAND to the SD (it's normal to find Bad blocks)

checking the NAND.

Check OK, press any button to exit.

Well done you succeeded
make a backup of the NAND file and the Bootmii folder as well as the .key file
Keep these files safe on your Computer.
It will be useful if the WII bricks one day!
I recommend making another backup at the end of the tutorial!
That way you'll have 2 Nands. (before and after Hack!)

[align=center]TRUCHA BUG[/align][/color]

2 - Restoring the Trucha Bug
Downgrade with Trucha bug restorer 1.11
The wii must be connected to the internet.
otherwise faster and safer for those who might have connection issues...
you need at the root of the SD the following files:
(available on the forum)
Warning, when patching ios 36 the third option (patch nand permission)
must be enabled to be able to continue the tutorial.

* IOS15-64-v257.wad
* IOS15-64-v266.wad
* IOS15-64-v523.wad
* IOS36-64-v3094.wad
* IOS36-64-v3351.wad

All the .wad files are available HERE

Spoiler
1. launch Trucha Bug Restorer 1.11 mod with the homebrews channel.
2. press B
3. wait then press 1
4. Select "Downgrade IOS15"
5. press A (getting IOS15 rev 523)
6. press A (getting IOS15 rev 257)

9. press A to exit
10. restart
11. select ios15 with left on the wiimote then press A
12. wait then press 1
13. select "IOS36 menu"
14. check every option to YES

WARNING don't forget this step of the tutorial...
make sure you have checked every option to YES with the wii remote's directional pad.
otherwise you won't be able to install cios 249
and therefore continue the tutorial!
15. press A (getting rev 3351)
16. press A to install (Installing.... done)
17. press A to exit
18. restart
19. press A (default IOS36)
20. wait then press 1
21. select "Restore IOS15"
22. press A (getting IOS15 rev 523)

Other Tutorial by xav91.

IOS STUB 249

D - Erasing ios 249 (stub)
an IOS STUB: It's an empty ios created by NINTENDO to prevent the installation of custom IOS.

Tona's software modified by Redsquirell
AnyTitleDeleter mod6b

Warning very dangerous software!
Advice: Go slowly, take your time, deleting a useful IOS could brick
your wii. Only delete the ios 249
It is very important to prepare your SD card ahead of time.

Spoiler
the wii must be connected to the internet.

1 - Now you're going to launch "AnyTitleDeleter" in the Homebrew channel
Selectios36 then confirm with "A".

2 - Select the "System Titles" menu and confirm with "A"
(errors -1017 and -116 may appear, they have no impact,
just press "A" to skip them).

3 - Find IOS249 in the list and press "A" to delete it
then "A" again to confirm the deletion.

4 - Now that you've deleted IOS 249
press the "HOME" button on the remote.
so the Wii restarts into the Homebrew Channel.

Now move on to the next step
directly without leaving the homebrew channel:
Installing cios 249 rev17

Waninkoko's Cios rev 17
*if you had already installed cios249 rev14 don't delete it just do another install,
the cios will be automatically replaced by rev17.(overwritten)

3- Installing Cios 249 rev 17
(required for Wiiflow ... and many hacks...)
rev 17 is compatible with Neogamma... (well )

* Installation without internet:
Place the IOS38-64-v3867.wad file at the root of your SD
with the wii remote's arrows set to "Wad Installation" then A.
(.wad included in the hackwii 4.2 pack)
then choose to install it withIOS36
Then confirm with "A", the installation starts... the wii's light comes on and a 'rock' melody plays!

* Installation with internet: choose "internet installation" then confirm with A
the installation starts with a nice blue light on the wii! etc...

at the end you'll get a [SUCCESS] message!
there you go you succeeded
Press any key... to exit.

Warning:
- The D3/D2nothing (new wii drive) makes installing IOS difficult. If your Wiimote freezes during the rev17 installation, it's because either ios15 or ios36 is badly installed. Start over from step 2-A.

WARNING
If you get this image...
it means you've messed up the Flash of your WII

Or you need to stop the DRUGS!!
PS: thanks Shunite for that laugh!

ios70 patch

5- It seems a new problem has appeared with the latest consoles on 4.2,
which prevents installing preloader and other priiloader etc...
To fix this and avoid this error we're going to patch ios70
(used by preloader on 4.2)

A) Get Pimp My Wii v1.32
B) Install it in the apps folder of the SD
SD: apps/pimpmywii/boot.dol (included in the hackwii pack)

C) Launch PimpMyWii v1.32 from the Homebrew Channel
D) Use the Manual Installation option
E) Accept network initialization
F) A list follows of all the ios with any changes to make.
By default, Installation is on No, so that if you press A,
you move to the next Ios without anything being installed.
G) Skip all the Ios until you reach ios 70, where you'll need to set installation to Yes,
and ES_Identifier to Yes as well, the rest should be on No.
Then press A.
H) Skip all the other Ios, the installation of the patched ios 70 with the ES_Identifier starts.
When it's done, exit.

Tutorial by Pando.

Priiloader
*if you already have preloader you can update to priiloader rev46
warning: no DVD IN THE WII and DISABLE all the system's hacks.ini.

5- Installing Priiloader rev46 + hacks.ini in FR
HACKS.INI ONLY FOR 4.2E
To avoid updates via DVD etc..
To install PRESS "+" on the wii remote.
To launch the Priiloader menu press the "RESET" button and start the WII.

video by jiiwah...
don't worry about the last FILES installation...
for the curious it's installing a boot.dol forwarder so that the wii boots directly into WIIFLOW.

What the Hacks. of the 4.2E hacks.ini file mean
Warning I recommend not enabling a Hack without knowing what it corresponds to.

Spoiler
Click on "System Menu Hack" and enable/disable what you want....
don't forget to save your changes.

[Disable HAXX,DVDX,RZDx verif.]

[Block game updates]
*avoid updates via DVD.

[Disable the anti-copy protection]

[Move the disc channel]
*lets you move the disc channel.

[Disable background music]

[No system menu sound at all]

[Recovery mode (RIGHT GC pad on port 4)]

[Standard recovery mode]

[No diagnostic disc verif.]

[Disable the health warning]

[Reload IOS249]
*to be avoided

[Disable GC game region]

[Disable channel region]

[Black screen when loading the system menu!]
your priiloader launches when the wii starts? that's normal...
Spoiler
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 Priiloader afterwards,
Turn on the console by pressing RESET!!! there you go
There are other protections besides prerloader..., priiloader, startpatch...
but not knowing that software, I won't talk about it.
you can install whichever one you want as long as the program and the hacks.ini are for 4.2E
** preloader, priiloader and starpatch are incompatible with each other **

[align=center]Ciospack[/align]

Now look at your wii's serial number and do the test to find out
if your wii drive is the GC2-D3 which can't use Ciospack 3.5,
so recent black or white wii forget it!!!
Do the test HERE by Jiiwah and Oops.

otherwise you could launch your Backups (burned games) directly from the disc channel
thanks to CIOSPACK 3.5 but first to avoid having the homebrew channel upside down
Here's a tutorial explaining how to change the IOS
used by the homebrew channel to IOS 61. So as, among other things, to keep the channel the right way up.
This tutorial is very useful for Ciospack users for example. Because you'll be able to use all the CIOS while keeping the homebrew channel the right way up!

Advice

Spoiler
From now on, you can congratulate yourself!
you've fully completed the Hack of your wii.
now you can breathe because the best is yet to come.
you can post on the forum that you succeeded.

WARNING: My last piece of advice is Avoid any future update
**For wiis NOT connected to the internet:
If you decide to connect it Nintendo will necessarily offer you an update!
just refuse it!
**for wiis connected to the internet:
( Nintendo sometimes sends you a message to encourage you to update your wii
via the internet, just refuse and delete this message you never know your kids etc...).
Also avoid any Downgrade that you don't master (brick),
Never Format otherwise Brick.

AND one last thing keep your NAND safe make a copy on your computer...
you are now on 4.2E softmod which lets you run...

Created by Shunite... Oops... and Jiiwah from the forum!
I had great pleasure being a Tester on this theme!

Wiiflow tutorial by Oops!

For OpenWiiflow: revival of wiiflow it's here Tutorial by Jiiwah!

Question:
If I understood correctly no reading of non-original games is possible from the DVD drive,
but launching non-original games copied via a PC onto a Hard Drive is possible or not?

Yes, it's possible to transfer your " iso games " directly from the PC to a hard drive
with the software "WBFS Manager", thanks to this free software you can use everything you need to format and transfer your games onto H.D.D.
on the other hand you'll necessarily need a compatible hard drive
I'd recommend getting a 2.5 (self-powered) hard drive.

To understand how to use WBFS Manager perfectly,
Format your hard drive, Install games etc...
check out Pocchami's tutorials!!!
WBFS Manager 1 and WBFS Manager 2
with that you have no more excuses!

Bonus Forwarder channel
Spoiler
Image unavailable (removed by its host) your wii desktop is empty?
fill it with the wadmanager software and .wad channels as forwarders
(which use the files present on the SD card)

to use it create a "wad" folder at the root of the SD such as
SD: /wad/channelname.wad

and wadmanager's boot.dol such as
SD: /apps/wadmanager/boot.dol

then launch the Homebrew Channel and launch the Wadmanager software.
to install a channel "+" on the remote then "A" to confirm.
wait for the writing to finish... then "HOME" to go back to the Homebrew channel.

to delete a channel "-" on the remote then "A" to confirm.
wait for the writing to finish... then "HOME" to go back to the Homebrew channel.
to cancel just press B.

to get this result we're going to use the files already present on the memory card.

Warning it's recommended to have bootmii as boot2 to do this tutorial,
because it's not without risk.

1- launch the homebrew channel
2- launch the homebrew mymenuify
3- the software asks you for the file, it's located in the "csm" folder at the root of the card
4- press "A" to confirm
5- select the DarkWii42e file * (tested and compiled by murigny64 )
there are 3 different versions for you to test! if someone can give me some screenshots that would be cool!
6- press "A" to confirm.
7- then EXIT!
8- once on the Homebrew channel press "HOME"
9- then turn off the wii. (reloading the system menu leads to a brick)
10- and restart and admire the result....
11- to go back to the original the file is sysmenu4.2e.app
*This file is only for 4.2E

Would you like to launch the homebrew channel, a homebrew, a WiiWare
or a Virtual Console from your USB Loader?? (wiiflow or other...)

It's now possible!!

How does it work??
You need to inject the homebrew's dol (or a forwarder) into an ISO.

So here's a centralization of ISOs
