What is it for?
Bootmini is used to install the hbc without going through exploits such as (indian pwins, smash attack, banner bomb, twilight hack), only if you have bootmii in boot2.

Indeed!!

This could be interesting in case even if bootmii doesn't access HBC, the ability to launch a .dol is still offered!!

This could avoid having to reinject the NAND!!

I hadn't thought of that at all!! :bravo: :bravo:

Well, for those who only have bootmii in IOS, that's still pretty risky.

No? Then how do you launch bootmii without an exploit?
Yes? Well what's it for then? Besides reinstalling the HBC? Well why? I have the HBC but upside down...

Choose whichever answers suit you barman47 :D
:accord: That's a good start for a mini tutorial proposal.... :93: I propose, you propose, he proposes... :93:

ps: I corrected two words out of five... please make an effort with your writing ;)
Well, I could possibly correct the mistakes since spelling is my thing!!

@Barman: Install the hbc without an exploit? you're getting a bit ahead of yourself.. during an official update, Boot2 gets replaced: Goodbye bootmii, goodbye your technique..

that I knew :| but no more need for waninkoko's custom firmware to move to 4.3

I'm talking about installing ios 80 then system menu 4.3. all that's left is a soft to wait for to install the new ios

if twizzers managed to launch a dol from his menu there are certainly others that can be launched

moreover this soft comes from the most serious team who let us move forward so let's stop criticizing a bit or you won't have preloader anymore and your wiis will be doomed

Sorry if you bought a wii too late no boot 2 for you.
