Good and complete tutorial :74:

However, I have 2 suggestions:

- It's really super long! Wouldn't it be better to make links to the tutorials that already exist?
With something like "I'm assuming the homebrew channel is installed, if that's not the case, see here". Because otherwise, it's going to be unbearable for those not already familiar with it!

- Wouldn't it be better to talk about installing the homebrew channel before talking about the downgrade?

Otherwise, bravo Tgames ;)

close to 20/20 => 19.5 :accord:
more precise, there's no such thing! :bravo:
but I do have a small question:
- Turn off your Wii.
- Plug in your Gamecube controller.
- Turn on your Wii while holding down the "Y" button on the controller.
- A black screen shows up displaying "3.2E".
- The installation of your Wii's brick protection is complete.
if we don't do this step and stop at
- In this menu, select the last 3 options and press "A" on each of them so it shows "Install".
- Once the last 3 options have been applied, press "2".
is the protection installed anyway?

xav91: I believe yes the protection is installed but that this step is there to check (it doesn't take long and it's safer.) ;)

normally there's a cioscorp folder located in the app folder, with the boot.dol (and with the icon.png and meta.xml files) you start it from the hbc, but beforehand you also need to have a cioscorp folder located at the root (base) of your sd, this folder must contain the 21 wads (patched ios actually)

actually the icon.png and meta.xml files are not in the cioscorp installer folder (which is in apps), there's only the boot.dol
could you tell me if that's the cause of my error and if so where these files are located...

thanks.

these two files you're talking about are not mandatory (it's just for decoration, lol it's true on top of that!) so we didn't include them ;)

Hi everyone

so I have a big problem my console is american and I managed to go from 3.4u to 3.3u but I'd like to go down to 3.2u to put starfall the problem is that (I have the homebrew channel installed and backup launcher gamma) when I use wadmanager 1.3 to install IOS16-64-v257-prod I get a 1017 error even though before I uninstall with ciosuninstaller it finds ios249 for me, I uninstall and still the same error

my question is can I use ciosdowngrader directly or do I have to use wadmanager 1.3 for IOS16-64-v257-prod and wadmanagerios16 for ciosfix and then ciosdwongrader

Help me

thanks

hi everyone
first of all thanks for the tutorial ^^
so I have a question I followed the site's tutorial to downgrade my wii 3.3v1 to 3.2, so that worked perfectly and then I told myself I'm going to install "that" (the tutorial to read backups from the disc chain without a chip) but while following the tutorial I notice that at step 2 you have to install cios rev 7 and so it seems to me that to do the downgrade from the tutorial "below firmware 3.3v2" you have to install this cios rev 7
so my question is do I also need to install the one from the rtu pack or are they the same so no need?
thanks for answering me ^^

Great tutorial, a bit long but very well made :D

Otherwise I'd like to add that installing the 21 wads with cioscorp worked perfectly while manually it didn't. And all my problems with Mplayer and SDgecko have been solved since I installed the 21 wads :D

I don't understand this sentence in the tutorial: I
II) Installing your Wii's brick protection. (Optional, only for Wiis on 3.2E [You must have the Twilight Hack save, otherwise you won't be able to recover your Wii in case of a brick])
?
thanks for your answers

Actually, " You must have the Twilight Hack save " means you need to have the Twilight Hack save on your Wii (not on the SD), which means you can't have your own Zelda save (which is annoying if you play it).

By keeping this save on your Wii, in case of a brick, all you'll have to do is launch the Zelda game with Starfall then launch the hacked save! (something you can't do if you haven't put the save on your Wii)

And no unfortunately, the two can't coexist...
But there's also the preloader which can let you debrick your Wii (without using the hacked save), I don't really know how good it is because I haven't installed it but a lot of people have installed it so it must be reliable!

After that, there's going to be BootMii which will be very effective against bricks! But we're waiting for its release.
