[align=center]This Tutorial is just as good for a black wii 4.2E as for a white one.[/align][/color]

Disclaimer:
Warning: everything you do can be dangerous for your WII
neither me nor the forum administrator nor anyone from the TGAMES forum
will be 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,
before Hacking your wii you are now on 4.2E
No panic, Softmod for 4.2E exists by performing simple steps.

HACK WII 4.2

SD Preparation

1- Starting the HACK
Spoiler
Format your card (recommended minimum 1Go) in FAT!
avoid SDHC.
Download the 4.2e pack (write a message to unlock the message)
Complete HACK WII 4.2E v.7 Pack
Hidden message

[align=center]Homebrew Channel Installation[/align]

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

You'll get this image. Validate with A on the YES proposal.
Image unavailable (removed by its host)

Validate with "1" on the wii remote.

You'll have 3 choices:
- Homebrew channel installation
- DVDX installation
- BOOTMII installation in BOOT2 as shown in the image or in IOS (in this 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 especially Bootmii according to the proposed choice.(boot2 or ios)
Don't forget to create the bootmii files on the SD card.
*** if your wii freezes at this step try all the alternative bannerbombs. ***
only replace the private folder of your SD.
alternative bannerbombs

PS: it's useless to put Bootmii in ios if you installed it in boot2 as 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 perform a crucial step, to protect against bad surprises.(brick)
If you're at this step it's because you installed Bootmii in boot2 or in ios.
We're going to do a DUMP (backup) of the Nand together.

What is the NAND??
it's the internal memory of the wii, 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.
In a figurative way you 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 other stuff... will be from the moment of THE BACKUP.

For that look at the illustrated tutorial by Xav91
Perform a Dump (backup) of your NAND of the console with Bootmii.

Important information
* Boot2 being impossible to install on the new Wii... (white and black)
* Leave a minimum of 528mb free on the SD card.
* I would recommend a 1go or 2go SD max non-SDHC formatted in FAT to perform 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 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 will arrive at this image.(the background should be green, if it's red you're in Restore mode)

you're now ready to perform the NAND copy.
Press the RESET button.

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

verifying 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 carefully on your Computer.
It will be used if the WII ever bricks!
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 1.12
The wii must be connected to the internet.
otherwise faster and safer for those who might have connection problems...
you need at the root of the SD the following files:
(available on NUS)
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 homebrew 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 possibilities to YES
so the new option ES verify
(not available on the photo, new photos coming soon )

WARNING don't forget this step of the tutorial...
make sure you have checked all the possibilities to YES with the directional pad of the wii remote.
otherwise you won't be able to install cios 249
and thus 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 succeeded! move on to the next step.
Tutorial by Oops.

IOS STUB 249

After many tests by our friend Mamule
proved to us that this step was optional.
so next step...
Spoiler
D - Erasing the 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'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 effect,
simply press "A" to skip them).

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

4 - Now that you've deleted IOS 249
press the "HOME" button of the controller.
so that the Wii restarts under 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 had already installed cios249 rev14 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 file IOS38-64-v3867.wad at the root of your SD
with the arrows of the wii remote set "Wad Installation" then A.
(.wad to download via NUS downloader)
then choose to install it withIOS36
Then confirm with "A", the installation starts... the wii's light turns 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 IOS installation difficult. If your Wiimote freezes during the rev17 installation, it's because either ios15 or ios36 was badly installed. Start over at step 2-A.

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

Or that you should stop the illicit substances!!
PS: thanks Shunite for this fun bit!

you've reached the halfway point of the hack...
rest up watching a few funny videos, others less so ...

Patch ios70

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

A) Get Pimp My Wii v1.32
B) Install it in the apps folder of the SD
SD: apps/pimpmywii/boot.dol (provided 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) Then follows a list of all the ios with the possible changes to make.
By default, Installation is set to 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 set to 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 the preloader you can upgrade to priiloader rev81 fr
(thanks to safirion for the translation of this one)
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 by DVD etc..
For installation PRESS "+" on the wii remote.
if you launch priiloader for the first time the messages:
1- priiloader's settings could not be deleted error 106
2- priiloader's password could not be deleted error 106
are perfectly normal!

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 it's installing a boot.dol forwarder so that the wii starts directly on 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 what you want....
don't forget to save your changes.

[Disable HAXX,DVDX,RZDx checks]

[Block game updates]
*avoid the DVD update.

[Disable copy protection]

[Move the disc channel]
*allows you to 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 check]

[Disable health warning]

[Reload IOS249]
*to avoid

[Disable GC game region]

[Disable channel region]

[Black screen when loading system menu!]
your priiloader launches when the wii starts up? 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 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 that software, I won't talk about it.
you can install whichever you want as long as the program and 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 the 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 were an original.
Warning check your wii serial number and run the test to know
if your wii drive is compatible.
*Where is the serial number?

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

If the test is conclusive 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.
DARKCORP

Advice

Spoiler
From now on, you can congratulate yourself!
you have completely finished Hacking your wii.
now you can breathe because the best is yet to come.
you can write on the forum that you succeeded.

WARNING: My last piece of advice is Avoid any future update to 4.3
**For wii NOT connected to the internet: No problem...
If you decide later to connect it to the internet
Nintendo will necessarily offer you an update, simply refuse!
**for wii connected to the internet:
( Nintendo sometimes sends you a message to encourage you to update your wii
via internet, simply refuse and delete this message, you never know your kids etc...).
Also avoid any Downgrade you don't master (brick),
Never Format otherwise Brick.

AND one last thing keep your NAND carefully and make a copy on your computer...
you are now on 4.2E softmod which allows you to launch...

[align=center]WIIFLOW[/align]

But everyone talks about wiiflow... but what is it?
a video to give you a taste...

wiiflow starnight theme by Shunite... Oops... and Jiiwah from the forum!
I had great pleasure being a Beta-Tester on this theme!
Official WIIFLOW Topic

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

Yes, it's possible to transfer your " games.ISO " 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 to H.D.D.
however you'll absolutely need a compatible hard drive
I recommend getting a 2.5 hard drive (self-powered).

To understand how to use WBFS Manager perfectly,
Formatting your hard drive, installing 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 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 "+" 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 simply press B.

Spoiler
External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies.
to get this result we're going to use 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 anyone can give me 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

[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 dol of the homebrew (or a forwarder) into an ISO.

So here's a centralization of ISOs

Tutorial by Jiiwah.
[align=center]DVD/DIVX on wii[/align]
Spoiler
WiiMC (Wii Media Center) is a modified Video player for Nintendo wii:
Image unavailable (removed by its host)
This homebrew lets you, among other things, watch videos directly from the SD card and the USB port (fat or ntfs) or the wii's dvd drive (not compatible with new drives),
play photos, music, radio and video streaming...
it's the most complete software right now and now translated into French.

External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies.

*to install the channel included in my hackwii pack:
Simply launch wiimc channel installer from the homebrew channel , click INSTAL,
wait for the loading to finish... you'll have on the wii system the new (beautiful) WIIMC forwarder channel.

To get the files needed for the channel source.
