cIOS installation problem

Post by yanouil »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello,

Well, first off I should mention it's been 3 days that I've been stuck on this problem, and I feel like I'm drowning in all this :)

So, I had a wii on 3.4. I installed the homebrew channel via the TP hack with no problem. Then I had problems installing the cios.
So I downgraded my wii from 3.4 to 3.2 via this site's tutorial (good tutorial by the way, thanks). Then I tried to install the famous cios, BUT, I still get the same error: ret = -2011 and cios won't install.

I tried with waninkoko's cios rev 7 over the network. The download went fine, but it won't install.

Oh right, I forgot, after downgrading to 3.2, WiiFit wouldn't start without an update. So I redid that update, the game works again, and I'm still on 3.2...

So, anyway, what can I do to fix this problem, do I need to go back to ios 16, 32 or I don't know what... I admit I tried to understand, but I end up totally lost.....

for me:
if you're on 3.2 everything's fine for now, get a program that removes the already installed cios!
then try installing it again!
if that's possible, it's simply an already installed or badly installed cios that's blocking it.

but well I'm no expert either! ^^

well I'm on 3.2 but it doesn't work...

I used cios uninstaller and there was indeed a cios installed. However, when I wanted to install cios rev07 well, it's still the same, doesn't work... I still get the same error: ret = -2011

I don't see it there!

personally what I would have done is remove everything related to wii hacking except the homebrew launcher
and update my wii!
and redo everything from scratch!

3.4E ==> downgrade properly
3.2 install cios rev7 and BCK launcher gamma 0,3

now it's up to you to see and do more research

How do I remove everything related to the wii hack? I just have the homebrew channel installed... nothing else, or nothing visible... I have no other channels, not even the homebrew launcher, I was planning to use backup loader via the homebrew channel (idea being to install as little as possible).

I want to (I'm going to) start over, but how do I "remove everything related to the wii hack"?

you remove your save if you put it back,
you delete every installed wad,
every installed cios
you just leave the homebrew channel (that's what I meant earlier)
and you update your wii

and you follow all of tgame.fr's tutorials

personally I made myself a channel with the iso loader gamma 0.3

for the save you never know, there are dummies who put it back afterwards ^^
anyway you delete them from your sd card ^^

then go do the update and test it (that's not to say it will get better afterwards it's just what I would do!)

now I won't be able to help you anymore because my computer's going to the repair shop because of a serious bios problem sorry! but the others will help you too!

ps: only get the rtu packs (ready to use) from here

well, I actually redid everything from scratch and it's good, now it works...

However I still have a question... What will happen if I update my Wii?

1- Nothing ok that's cool...
2- I won't be able to launch my backups anymore?
3- The wii will get blocked?

Actually I can't play Wiifit anymore which requires an update and so... it's pointless to be able to play with your backups to protect your originals, but if you can't even play with the originals anymore lol...

Anyway thanks for your (your) help, just if you could answer this last question... thanks in advance

no worries ^^

already to not be bothered anymore by the UPDATE on wiiFit install STARFALL (it's here on the forum I think) it's a homebrew that protects against that and the risk of bricking!!

if you do a Nintendo UPDATE well what will happen is you'll have to downgrade again but that won't brick your console! the UPDATE (so far) will leave the Homebrew channel but will block WAD installation and probably launching backups!

Use StarFall: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=383

indeed, the update doesn't change anything, I can still launch my backups...

Well, I didn't push it to 3.4. That, suits me fine...

As for starfall, well I don't have a gamecube controller...

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING...

see you at the next game that wants an update = or > than 3.4 lol ;)

you're not required to have a gamecube controller ^^!

I advise you to stay on 3.2 and install starfall:
I installed it myself by downloading it, putting it on my sd then I launched homebrew channel and there I installed it! no bug or anything!
