So... I have a softmodded wii. I don't download any programs from the homebrew channel. I just install games onto my external hard drive to keep from needing my disc with me at all times..
What is the chances of actually bricking my wii? I sometimes download games from torrents.
@sk8bamsk8 you need homebrew and wadmanager to install wad files that enable your wii to read backups and hdd copies so yes to start the hacking process off.
Using both ur written tut and ur vidz together made it easy mate - many thanks. I decided to add cios247 57 rev20 and updated HBC to get past the 'cios36 isn't es_identify patched' error I was getting trying to install Priiloader.
Bit of a noob question for u tho - when I updated HBC it gave me options to install bootmii and dvdx....I'm thinking there isn't any need install bootmii again when updating HBC - can you confirm please?
Do I have to download manually these updates you list above or are they only for users that have v 4,1 or lower ?
If I have to download these files why do you say: install them in that order shown. Because I really doubt that everyone should download all system menu´s E/U/J - instead they should only download the version they have E/U or J.... ?
The step by step readme is very good thanks for that !
@arnithorri common sense here mate, NO if your wii's already on 4.2, you dont need to download any of the above mentioned files as your already on that firmware, those files are for people on different firmwares from different regions.
Best simply the EASIEST tutorial online. just follow the tutorial in 3parts and make sure you have an internet connection it will definitely work. thanks man ;).
I am up to the part on ur vid 5:56 on my wii, not as i press a it says ' [+] Mounting device, please wait... ERROR! (ret = -1). I restarted it and still the message pops up. I checked and i followed the steps correctly. Please help. My wii is correct model to its 4.2e
GUYS, IF ANY OF YOU ARE ON FIRMWARE 4.3, THERE'S NOW A DISC-LESS EXPLOIT TO RUN THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL AND HACKMII INSTALLER LIKE BANNERBOMB CALLED LETTER-EXPLOIT AND IT'S RUN THROUGH THE MESSAGE BOARD. IT'S STILL BETTER BEING ON 4.2 OR 4.1 FIRMWARES THOUGH.
i followed your guide worked 100% perfect for mme on 4.2u :) now i want to know that how to update my usb loader..... and i want to use wiishop channel but i can't it always ask me to update my system :( so should i updgarde from nintendo???
it'll 100% works :) if u follow his given instruction clearly and don't only focus on his vidoe also give time in reading his given guide ;)(readme.txt) :)
if none of the loaders or HBC is deleted and nothing works, sorry man but you'll have to start from scratch again and mod it by following a 4.3 guide and you also need a certain game to do it. Super smash bros brawl is the preferred game of choice to start the hacking
Thanx man. it worked very nice but, i have a problem. my sister updated the wii from 4.2 to 4.3 but i still have those backup loaders. what do i have to do.
@thephenom180 yeah i succeed,to install,it was my fucking shitty SD CARD problem and it was a normal and new,,and in the end i succeed with my micro sd card and with adapter i heard the wii cant read all micro sd card but i was lucky, and many TNX to this step by step tutorial ^__^
Let this be your only warning. Do NOT softmod your wii. I did it, and now system updates are restricted and about 7 of my games don't work. But don't take my word for it. If you want to softmod your wii and have the behavior of your wii altered forever, go ahead and do it. I just advise against it.
@dtwiiguru6 don't talk drivel mate unless you know what your on about. Nintendo WANT you to update to get rid of all Homebrew and illegal backup channels/loaders. There's no need to UPDATE your Wii at all to anything higher than firmware 4.1. All you need to do is install the ios that is on the 4.3 update. All you need is ios56 and easily downloaded and installed through HBC. ALL games will run fine even on older Wii's running firmware 3.2. LMAO
I recently had my Black Wii hacked and everything worked fine untill my wife updated it , now the usb loader cfg channel will not load the games off my external hard-drive, all I get is a black screen...greatly appreciate some knowledge....
@wontstop818 if its 4.3 firmware you need to hack it again with a certain game. and this tutorial wont help im afraid. I can help u mod a 4.3 wii just as easy tho.
For the life of me I can not figure this out. It keeps saying "This installer can NOT continue" I had the twilight hack on before but formatted the wii and the sd card and did the install just as your direction. Anyone have any suggestions?
@bgreen999 if it says this installer cannot contiue, youve hacked it and put on darkcorp/cioscorp. The hackmii installer wont let you install it unless you install a new ios. You need to install ios35 thro wadmanager and itll then let you run it. search google for the ios35 wad.
@DearLordVoldemort no probs man, glad it worked. Some newer games like COD Bops and We Dare will require newer revisions so if they wont run download and install cios249rev 20+ thro HBC and everything will still work like a charm
First of all, thank you so much for this video as it is very clear!
I just installed the HBC, BootMii & DVDX through BannerBomb, but before i continue to the real softmodding part, I have one question.
As I'm reading the comments, it looks like some files in the tutorial are outdated? You are telling some people to download files like cios249 rev 20 [57], can't you just finish the softmod just by using your files or is downloading newer files absolutely needed? Thanks.
@thephenom180 im kinda confuse.. im already done with your 3 videos and i read from the comments that i need to install cios249 rev 20[57] so that i can play all games .. what is the right way to install it?? sorry of my poor english.. TIA
@ijustlovedogs13 ive posted the file above in another users comment, download it, put the file into WAD folderon SD card and install it using wadmanager thro HBC. Easy.
@thephenom180 go to easiest 4.2 folder and then go to SD folder and then go to WAD folder paste cios249 rev.. And then copy the SD folder in the SD card.. Is that what i need to do?? sorry im so slow and i just want to be sure because i dont want to brick my wii .. THanks for always answering my question I really appreciate it.
@ijustlovedogs13 no, once you modded it and followed everything, delete all the files from the SD card. You wont need them anymore. Then creat two new folders called apps and wad. Download wadmanager 1.7 (google it) and once downloaded, put that folder into the apps folder on the SD card. Then download the cios249 rev 20 [57] file from the above link given to another member and put that wad file into the wad folder on the SD card and istall thro HBC using wadmanager. Simple.
@kelasmaire NO stay on 4.2 or you'll have to buy/rent a certain gasme to start the hacking off. READ description it says for 4.2 versions. 4.2 is the best firmware to be on.
@colummcclelland90 sometimes ios222 and 223 wont be there, check all of the with + and if they arent there, proceed as normal, nothing to worry about. If ever it freezes try again and again
thanks man, i was going by the read me and kinda read t wrong and skipped a step, great tutorial, not the first time ive softmodded with a similar tutorial, but this IS the easiest way :P
@DarkLegionnairer you have to get them by making a nand backup using bootmii. you dont really need these if you follow my tutorial though as its brick free.
@mrgarciaboy123 You can change the wii themes with any that are out made there but ITS VERY DANGEROUS and can BRICK (ruin) your Wii. I don't recommend to install themes at all unless you know what you are doing. For starters, you need brick protection installed. Bootmii as boot2 and also priiloader as newer wii's can't install boomii as boot2 only IOS. If you have either of these and you'd like to try changing themes, hit me up as I now maje my own themes plus I have hundreds all converted.
great tutorial. ihave already ddone it with a 4.2e and works great.THANKS. Now i have a 3.3 one. To install the homebrew chanel with wad manager do i follow all the steps you show in your video part 1? And later how do i install the files to upgrade to 4.2e? iam a new in these and im not sure. thanks
@symewn1 yeah, install HBC with bannerbomb as shown in tutorial, then install IOS70 wad first through wadmanager then system meny 4.2 (make sure you pick the right region or you will brick.) Good luck, let me know how you get on.
@symewn1 Newer wii's especially black and Red ones have a D32- drive chip which makes it physically impossible to read burnt DVD-R's. The only way around this problem is to use USB loading as described in the tutorial or change your drive for an older model. I've stated this to loads of others here too. If your wii's newer than 2009, use USB loading. USB loading is way better than using DVD-rs anyway. Quicker, easier and don't burn up your laser.
HEY!! I NEED A REPLY!!! When I Install The Files Cboot2Download You Said Don't Worry About Error -1 BUT It Shows Can't Find the File on the SD card. And Tries 2 Download Frm The Internet. BUT I DONT HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION TO WII PLZ HELP! can you post the link for Those IOS53 And Something like that?????
@thehhh11 sorry mate you can only get the required files for this particular tutorial through Nintendo's servers which is why you need internet. IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INTERNET at start of tutorial and in description. I will be uploading an updated softmod for all wiis in the next few days. For any wii firmware from 1.0 right up to 4.3 with easy to follow instructions and every method of running homebrew with all exploits.
@thehhh11 no probs mate, glad it worked. enjoy. Just dont upgrade to 4.3 or you'll have to but one of 5 games to rehack it and its longer to do. If you need any help in future let me know and ill try my best for you.
great tutorial. ihave already ddone it with a 4.2e and works great.THANKS. Now i have a 3.3 one. To install the homebrew chanel with wad manager do i follow all the steps you show in your video part 1? And later how do i install the files to upgrade to 4.2e? iam a new in these and im not sure. thanks
thank you very much for this tutorial, after searching thou many many videos and attempting various things, i always came to a stumble, but this worked so incredibly perfect, i recommend this for anyone trying to soft-mod and install the backup loader on a 4.2 U, even if you have tried other ways, just fallow this exact tutorial step by step and you will succeed. Remember to always look at the comments to know if something works, and for this, i give it a thumbs up, thank you
hi thanks for the videos. i install this method in my wii 4.2u and this is the easy way. i have a question for you i will apreciate your answer. i have another wii but the version is 4.1u. can i use this method to hack the 4.1U? if is different, can you tell me the method for 4.1u. thanks again.
@kenshinheart there are methods out there for 4.1 but in my opinion they are longer. You can use this method but you need to update the wii to 4.2u. I have added all the 4.2 system menus in the file description and you also need to download the correct one or you will brick your wii. YOU NEED 4.2U. You also need the IOS70wad. Once you downloaded these from my file description, install IOS70wad first and then system menu 4.2U wad through HBC and once done you will be on 4.2u.then proceed with tut
@thephenom180 thank you very much for the reply, I will do the steps, these days I'll tell you what was the result but coming from you is to be successful.
one thing i cant stand is people not coming back to the video after successfully hacking theirs wiis so they can say "yay it works" or something... i've followed like 50 billion tutorials and none of them have done anything for me and i have no way of knowing if any1 else has got it to work or not cuz they dont say so.
soo.. this is my last try. if my wii doesnt approve of this tutorial, then im gonna have to....PAY.. for my games... how suckish is that? yeah. really suckish.
Im trying to upgrade a 4.1 to a 4.2 firmware. How do I manually upgrade? I have the files on the SD card. Do I just go to the SD channel or I do it from the homebrew channel or... how is it done?
@Mraznkid23 wot ret problem? If you mean uninstalling of the IOS249 stub, just INSTALL it first then immediately UNINSTALL it straight after and carry on with the tutorial.
@mizzeeboy ignore it and carry on with tut. out of date ios's are probably the problem. once modded run a program called pimp my wii to update al your ios's
Recently i have bought wii with 4.2U. I do not have internet connection at the place where I keep my Wii. Can I still do this tutorial without Internet connection?thx
@irishwill2008 4.3 wiis are a bitch to hack. First you will need to install the homebrew Channel (only two ways on 4.3e. YOU NEED ORIGINAL GAME
OF LEGO INDIANA JONES: ORIGINAL ADVENTURES OR YU-GI-OH 5D'S WHEELIE BREAKERS. If you don't own these games, you will have to buy/rent them to get this HBC installed. Once you've donr that, I can help u mod your 4.3 wii or get you back to 4.2e if you prefer my hack. 4.3 is a lot longer and time consuming.
@thephenom180 I also need to know about 4.3 hack. should I downgrade? what risks are there by downgrading? is a 4.3 hack inferior or something like that? is it that hard :S I need to know about hacking 4.3 cuz a friend of mine is asking me to hack his wii. but his got a 4.3... I need ur help man
@666drummerman there are other guides on how to hack 4.3 wiis. You need an original game of Lego:Indiana Jones original adventures Yu Gi Oh 5D's Wheelie Breakers to install HBC. Smash Bros Brawl will work if your Wii is NTSC (U) also.
@Clerks0 no mate, the HBC can be updated to 1.0.8, its a bit different looking but no real difference. Just make sure your on 4.2 before following my hack. If your on anything under 4.2 you will need an IOS70 wad and a 4.2 system menu was to install through HBC which will safely update you to 4.2.
@aciputux23 If you installed Bootmii as boot2 then it will load upcCboot2 as above, if you only installed as an IOS then you need to go back into HBC and press Home to load it.
@MyGeorge5000 if your on 4.2 you dont need to donload these wads as your already on 4.2. this is for people who are under 4.2 to upgrade to that firmware in order to follow this hack. You cant update via nintendo online anymore or else you'll be on 4.3. Cboot2 will only boot up from scratch if you were able to install bootmii as boot2. if you only installed as an IOS you need to hit HOME in HBC (Homebrew Channel) then select bootmii to run it.
Thanks man !!! it's really the easiest way :) , but i have last question can i update the console to 4.3e or not ?

@DearLordVoldemort no probs man, glad it worked. Some newer games like COD Bops and We Dare will require newer revisions so if they wont run download and install cios249rev 20+ thro HBC and everything will still work like a charm
thephenom180 9 months ago
First of all, thank you so much for this video as it is very clear!
I just installed the HBC, BootMii & DVDX through BannerBomb, but before i continue to the real softmodding part, I have one question.
As I'm reading the comments, it looks like some files in the tutorial are outdated? You are telling some people to download files like cios249 rev 20 [57], can't you just finish the softmod just by using your files or is downloading newer files absolutely needed? Thanks.

thank you very much this tutorial is the easiest to follow!! question how can i install cios249 rev 20 [57].. thx!!!!!!!!!!!
ijustlovedogs13 9 months ago
@ijustlovedogs13 you can download cios249 rev 20 [57]from here...
w w w .mediafire. com /?u6i55jitbvieo6j
Just extract it and copy the file into the WAD folder on your SD card and
install the WASD using Wadmanager thro HBC. Simple.
thephenom180 9 months ago
@thephenom180 im kinda confuse.. im already done with your 3 videos and i read from the comments that i need to install cios249 rev 20[57] so that i can play all games .. what is the right way to install it?? sorry of my poor english.. TIA
ijustlovedogs13 9 months ago
@ijustlovedogs13 ive posted the file above in another users comment, download it, put the file into WAD folderon SD card and install it using wadmanager thro HBC. Easy.
thephenom180 9 months ago
@thephenom180 go to easiest 4.2 folder and then go to SD folder and then go to WAD folder paste cios249 rev.. And then copy the SD folder in the SD card.. Is that what i need to do?? sorry im so slow and i just want to be sure because i dont want to brick my wii .. THanks for always answering my question I really appreciate it.
ijustlovedogs13 9 months ago
@ijustlovedogs13 no, once you modded it and followed everything, delete all the files from the SD card. You wont need them anymore. Then creat two new folders called apps and wad. Download wadmanager 1.7 (google it) and once downloaded, put that folder into the apps folder on the SD card. Then download the cios249 rev 20 [57] file from the above link given to another member and put that wad file into the wad folder on the SD card and istall thro HBC using wadmanager. Simple.

@DarkLegionnairer you have to get them by making a nand backup using bootmii. you dont really need these if you follow my tutorial though as its brick free.

how did you exchange the wii theme
mrgarciaboy123 10 months ago
@mrgarciaboy123 You can change the wii themes with any that are out made there but ITS VERY DANGEROUS and can BRICK (ruin) your Wii. I don't recommend to install themes at all unless you know what you are doing. For starters, you need brick protection installed. Bootmii as boot2 and also priiloader as newer wii's can't install boomii as boot2 only IOS. If you have either of these and you'd like to try changing themes, hit me up as I now maje my own themes plus I have hundreds all converted.

i have done it thanks. I also did a black wii 4.2e but it does not load games from dvd only from usb loader. any ideas why do i have this problem?
symewn1 1 year ago
@symewn1 Newer wii's especially black and Red ones have a D32- drive chip which makes it physically impossible to read burnt DVD-R's. The only way around this problem is to use USB loading as described in the tutorial or change your drive for an older model. I've stated this to loads of others here too. If your wii's newer than 2009, use USB loading. USB loading is way better than using DVD-rs anyway. Quicker, easier and don't burn up your laser.

For any wii firmware from 1.0 right up to 4.3 with easy to follow instructions and every method of running homebrew with all exploits.

thank you very much for this tutorial, after searching thou many many videos and attempting various things, i always came to a stumble, but this worked so incredibly perfect, i recommend this for anyone trying to soft-mod and install the backup loader on a 4.2 U, even if you have tried other ways, just fallow this exact tutorial step by step and you will succeed. Remember to always look at the comments to know if something works, and for this, i give it a thumbs up, thank you

kenshinheart 1 year ago
@kenshinheart there are methods out there for 4.1 but in my opinion they are longer. You can use this method but you need to update the wii to 4.2u. I have added all the 4.2 system menus in the file description and you also need to download the correct one or you will brick your wii. YOU NEED 4.2U. You also need the IOS70wad. Once you downloaded these from my file description, install IOS70wad first and then system menu 4.2U wad through HBC and once done you will be on 4.2u.then proceed with tut
thephenom180 1 year ago
@thephenom180 thank you very much for the reply, I will do the steps, these days I'll tell you what was the result but coming from you is to be successful.

one thing i cant stand is people not coming back to the video after successfully hacking theirs wiis so they can say "yay it works" or something... i've followed like 50 billion tutorials and none of them have done anything for me and i have no way of knowing if any1 else has got it to work or not cuz they dont say so.
soo.. this is my last try. if my wii doesnt approve of this tutorial, then im gonna have to....PAY.. for my games... how suckish is that? yeah. really suckish.

irishwill2008 1 year ago
@irishwill2008 4.3 wiis are a bitch to hack. First you will need to install the homebrew Channel (only two ways on 4.3e. YOU NEED ORIGINAL GAME
OF LEGO INDIANA JONES: ORIGINAL ADVENTURES OR YU-GI-OH 5D'S WHEELIE BREAKERS. If you don't own these games, you will have to buy/rent them to get this HBC installed. Once you've donr that, I can help u mod your 4.3 wii or get you back to 4.2e if you prefer my hack. 4.3 is a lot longer and time consuming.
thephenom180 1 year ago
@thephenom180 I also need to know about 4.3 hack. should I downgrade? what risks are there by downgrading? is a 4.3 hack inferior or something like that? is it that hard :S I need to know about hacking 4.3 cuz a friend of mine is asking me to hack his wii. but his got a 4.3... I need ur help man
666drummerman 1 year ago
@666drummerman there are other guides on how to hack 4.3 wiis. You need an original game of Lego:Indiana Jones original adventures Yu Gi Oh 5D's Wheelie Breakers to install HBC. Smash Bros Brawl will work if your Wii is NTSC (U) also.
thephenom180 1 year ago
I just updatet it when it said that i wanted to update to a new homebrew channel version.

Clerks0 1 year ago
@Clerks0 no mate, the HBC can be updated to 1.0.8, its a bit different looking but no real difference. Just make sure your on 4.2 before following my hack. If your on anything under 4.2 you will need an IOS70 wad and a 4.2 system menu was to install through HBC which will safely update you to 4.2.

I keep getting an error when loading cboot2, the black screen keeps scrolling down? Im already on 4.2E, do I have to follw this step.......2
IOS70-v6687 wad and system menu wad -
E -- v482
U -- v481
J -- v480
If so, do I have to install all or just v482?? HELP!!
MyGeorge5000 1 year ago
@MyGeorge5000 if your on 4.2 you dont need to donload these wads as your already on 4.2. this is for people who are under 4.2 to upgrade to that firmware in order to follow this hack. You cant update via nintendo online anymore or else you'll be on 4.3. Cboot2 will only boot up from scratch if you were able to install bootmii as boot2. if you only installed as an IOS you need to hit HOME in HBC (Homebrew Channel) then select bootmii to run it.
