THE DESCRIPTION HAS BEEN UPDATED. CHECK THE WARNINGS!
EDIT EDIT EDIT Jul6,2010:
I now have BootMii and cIOS, DVDx, if you have any questions about them, you can ask them now.

Once again, Team Twizzers has found a loophole in Wii System Menu 4.2 to install the Homebrew Channel. Update 4.2 kills the Bannerbomb exploit, but Team Twiizers have managed to launch there awesome exploit via the SD Card Menu, so Bannerbomb is still alive! TURN OFF WIICONNECT24 TO REFRAIN A BRICK 100%!

BESURE TO UPDATE THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL ONCE YOU FINISHED INSTALLING IT! ITS GONNA TELL YOU WHEN YOU RUN IT!
THE NEW UPDATE WILL STOP THE FREEZING!! The installer is the same as this one, just repeat the
steps.

---BootMii--- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

BootMii is a program that is installed in the boot2 of the Wii to prevent the Wii from executing the system menu before you power your Wii on. You can immediatly launch The Homebrew Channel from BootMii, and also make a full system backup incase you happen to brick your Wii. It is highly recommended that you install BootMii.

How to install BootMii:

Download the pack below, and place all of the contents into the root of your SD card.
Next, plug in the SD card into the front of your Wii, and open the SD Card Menu
"Load boot.elf/dol?" Should come up. Point the Wiimote to Yes and tap A. Wait for the exploit to load.
The disclaimer should come up wait for it to load, then press 1 when prompted. Check to see if you can install BootMii (can be installed.)
Go down to BootMii on the list, and click on Install as boot2.
(Install as a IOS if possible) Wait to see success and exit the HackMii installer. When your Wii reboots, the BootMii menu should come up! ;D

Controls:
Power button on Wii: Change selection
Reset Button on Wii: Select
Holding Power button: Fully shut down Wii
You may also use a Gamecube controller.

---DVDx---
DVDx is a small hidden channel that allows you to use a DVD-R to be read by the Wii Disk Drive. DOES NOT PLAY WII BACKUPS. You may also play DVD movies on your Wii but a application like WiiMC is required.

How to install DVDx:
Download the pack below, and place all of the contents into the root of your SD card.
Next, plug in the SD card into the front of your Wii, and open the SD Card Menu
"Load boot.elf/dol?" Should come up. Point the Wiimote to Yes and tap A. Wait for the exploit to load.
The disclaimer should come up wait for it to load, then press 1 when prompted. Check to see if you can install BootMii (can be installed.)
Go down to DVDx, and select it. Select "Yes,install" Wait for it to say Success. You now have DVDx installed.


---The Homebrew Channel---

Made by the famous Team Twiizers, The Homebrew Channel is the main thing of Homebrew on the Wii. It will run .dol files that are homebrew apps. When it comes to games and serious Wii hacking, the Homebrew Channel does it all.

How to install the Homebrew Channel:

1. Download the Wii Homebrew Pack
2. Open it and extract the 2 files into the root of your SD Card (Then, delete or move any other files but the 2 you extracted)
3. Go to Wii Options, Wii Settings, Press +, Go to WiiConnect24, click WiiConnect24 again, Then choose OFF!
4. Exit Wii settings then go into the SD Card menu
5. "Load boot.dol/elf?" will show up, press Yes and let it load
6. Wait for the scam notice to finish then press 1 button
7. Ensure it says the homebrew channel can be installed, then click ok, then go up to Install The Homebrew Channel
8. Click Yes, Continue
9. Wait for it to say success then exit the Hackmii Installer.
10. Homebrew Channel will then load and ask you to UPDATE! CLICK YES!
11. Once its done downloading the update the Hackmii installer will run again. Repeat steps 6 - 9.
12. Smack someone whos closest to you and yell, I GOT HOMEBREW ON 4.2 EVERYONE!! You're done.

--WARNINGS---
Do NOT use hacks/cheats on NINTENDO WFC! EXPECIALLY ON MARIO KART WII! This can result into error code 20102, as is WFC Ban and you will not be able to use Nintendo WFC AGAIN, until you call a special number

Do NOT install ANYONE ELSES BootMii backup AT ALL.
ONLY USE YOUR BOOTMII BACKUP! INSTALLING ANYONE ELSES BOOTMII BACKUP WILL FULLY BRICK YOUR WII!

DO NOT LEAVE WIICONNECT24 ON! YOUR WII WILL FREEZE DURRING INSTALLATION OR FREEZE! This CAN cause a brick banner.

-DISCLAIMER-
The Homebrew Channel, BootMii, or DVDx should not render your Wii useless. Please note that this WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY. If your Wii breaks, you will have to pay full price if you want Nintendo to repair it.
Im not responsible if your Wii gets a banner brick due to misuse of the Hackmii v5 installer
and im in no way apart of Team Twizzers and the Homebrew Channel.

Hint- Press 2 on the Wii Mote while in Homebrew Channel!
Its REALLY neat!
