Disclaimer:
Warning: everything you do can be dangerous for your WII
neither I, nor the forum administrator, nor anyone on the TGAMES forum
will be held responsible for what you do.
To be done if you don't have two left hands but a brain that works!!!

You've fallen for NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII,
or you fell for the update over the internet, your finger slipped and hit "I agree" to do it...
before Hacking your wii you are now on 4.2E
Don't panic, the Softmod for 4.2E exists by doing some simple steps.

HACK WII 4.2

SD Preparation

1- Starting the HACK
Spoiler
Format your card (minimum 1GB recommended) in FAT!
avoid SDHC.
Download the 4.2e pack (write a message to unlock the message)
Complete HACK WII 4.2E pack v.6
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 on 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 in BOOT2 like on the image or in 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 above all 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: there's no point putting Bootmii in ios if you installed it in boot2 as shown in the video.

Tutorial from webs modified by me

[align=center]BOOTMII?[/align]
[align=center]Nand backup[/align]
Important Warning
Spoiler
Now we're going to carry out a crucial step, to protect yourself against unpleasant surprises (brick).
If you're at this step it means you installed Bootmii in boot2 or in ios.
Together we're going to make a DUMP (backup) of the Nand.

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

For that, check out the illustrated tutorial by Xav91
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 528MB free on the SD card.
* I'd recommend a 1GB or 2GB max non-SDHC SD card formatted in 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 panel buttons
- Power button to move (to the right)
- Reset button to confirm

or with the Gamecube controller
- directional pad to move
- 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 must 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 button.

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 did it
make a backup of the NAND file and the Bootmii folder as well as the .key file
Keep these files carefully on your Computer.
It will be useful if the WII bricks one day!
I recommend doing 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 1.12
The wii must be connected to the internet.
otherwise it's faster and safer for those who might have connection problems...
you need the following files at the root of the SD:
(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

Spoiler
1. launch Trucha Bug Restorer 1.12 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)
7. press A for step 1
8. press A for step 2
9. press A to exit
10. relaunch
11. select ios15 with left on the wiimote then press A
12. wait then press 1
13. select "IOS36 menu"
14. check all options to YES
so the new option ES verify
(not shown in the photo, new photos coming soon)

WARNING don't forget this step of the tutorial...
make sure you've checked all the options to YES using the wii remote's directional cross.
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. relaunch
19. press A (IOS36 by default)
20. wait then press 1
21. select "Restore IOS15"
22. press A (getting IOS15 rev 523)
23. press A to install (Installing.... done)
24. press A to exit

there you go, you did it! move on to the next step.

Other Tutorial by xav91.

IOS STUB 249

After many tests by our friend Mamule
it has been proven that this step is optional.
so next step...
Spoiler
D - Deleting ios 249 (stub)
an IOS STUB: it's an empty ios created by NINTENDO to prevent the installation of custom IOS.

The software by Tona modified by Redsquirell
AnyTitleDeleter mod6b

Warning, very dangerous software!
Advice: take it slow, take your time, deleting a useful IOS could brick
your wii. Only delete the ios 249
It's very important to prepare your SD card in advance.

the wii must be connected to the internet.

1 - Now you're going to launch "AnyTitleDeleter" in Homebrew channel
Select theios36 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 past them).

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

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

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

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

3- Installing Cios 249 rev 17
(mandatory 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
using the wii remote's arrows select "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 did it
Press any button... 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 wasn't installed properly. Start over from step 2-A.

WARNING
If you get this image...
it means you missed the Flash of your WII

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

Patch ios70

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 the 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 the network initialization
F) There follows a list of all the ios with the possible modifications to make.
By default, Installation is set to No, so that if you press A,
you move on to the next Ios without anything being installed.
G) Skip all the Ios until you get to ios 70, where you'll need to set installation to Yes,
and ES_Identifier to Yes as well, the rest must stay on No.
Then press A.
H) Skip all the other Ios, the installation of the patched ios 70 with ES_Identifier starts.
When it's finished, exit.

Tutorial by Pando.

Priiloader
*if you already have preloader you can update to priiloader rev81 fr
(thanks to safirion for translating it)
Warning: no DVD IN THE WII and DISABLE all the system's hacks.ini.

5- Installing Priiloader rev81 + 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 pay attention to the last FILES installation...
for the curious ones, he's installing a boot.dol forwarder so the wii starts directly into WIIFLOW.

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

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

[Disable HAXX, DVDX, RZDx checks]

[Block game updates]
*avoid the update via DVD.

[Disable 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 on GC pad in port 4)]

[Standard recovery mode]

[No diagnostic disc check]

[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 up? that's normal ...
Spoiler
to fix that go to the "settings" menu
then set the options:

"Autoboot": to "system menu"
as well as
"return to": to "system menu"

save and quit!
To go back to the Priiloader afterwards,
Turn on the console while pressing RESET!!! there you go
There are other protections besides preloader..., priiloader, startpatch...
but not knowing this 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]DARKCORP*[/align]
*Ciospack is now called Darkcorp. (long live dark )

IF YOU HAVE A CHIP = NO DARKCORP
What's it for?
darkcorp lets you launch backups (burned dvd) of your games directly from the disc channel as if it was an original.
Warning, check your wii serial number and do the test to find out
if your wii drive is compatible.
*Where is the serial number located?

If the drive is GC2-D3, avoid the installation because it could cause reading problems or other issues,
so recent black or white wii, forget it!!!
If in doubt, do the TEST HERE
thanks to Jiiwah and Oops.

If the test is successful you can launch your Backups (burned games) directly from the disc channel thanks to DARKCORP.
for the installation, a very very detailed tutorial by Baordeur.

Advice

Spoiler
From now on, you can congratulate yourself!
you've completely finished Hacking 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!
simply refuse!
**for wiis connected to the internet:
(Nintendo sometimes sends you a message to encourage you to update your wii
via the internet, simply refuse and delete this message, you never know with your kids etc...).
Also avoid any Downgrade you don't master (brick),
Never Format otherwise Brick.

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

[align=center]WIIFLOW[/align]

But everyone's talking about wiiflow... but what is it?
a video to whet your appetite...

WIIFLOW STARNIGHT

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

Wiiflow tutorial by Oops!

For the continuation of Wiiflow 1.1 it's here... Tutorial by Jiiwah!

Question:
If I understood correctly, no non-original games can be read from the DVD drive,
but launching non-original games copied by 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 needed to format and transfer your games onto a H.D.D.
however you'll necessarily need a compatible hard drive
I recommend getting a 2.5" hard drive (self-powered).

To understand how to perfectly use WBFS Manager,
Formatting your hard drive, installing games etc...
watch 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) is your wii desktop empty?
fill it up 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 press "+" 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 press "-" 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.

Spoiler
External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies.
to get this result we're going to use the files already present on the memory card.

Warning it's recommended to have bootmii in 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 file DarkWii42e * (tested and compiled by murigny64 )
there are 3 different versions for you to test! if someone could give me some screenshots that would be cool!
6- press "A" to confirm.
7- afterwards 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

file tested by Clioman.
[align=center]ISO Forwarder[/align]

Spoiler
Image unavailable (removed by its host)

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
