__________________________________________________ ___________
Please do not do these things.
Never....ever, ever:
Never uninstall your system menu
Your wii will not work very well without a system menu.
Never uninstall your system menu ios
Ios30, Ios50, Ios60, Ios70
Never uninstall any ios less the 200.
Ios files under 200 are important to the wii, it is very important you will brick. Never ever uninstall.
Remove Stubbed System IOS files
Stubbed ios files are installed by Nintendo durring system update. If a wii is ever downgraded with these stubbed ios in place the wii will brick.
IOS30-v2816, IOS50-v5120, IOS60-v6400, IOS70-v6912, these are stubbes
You can remove them by installing:
cIOS30-v6174.zip cIOS50-v4889.zip cIOS60-v6174.zip cIOS70-v6174.zip
Example: Down from 4.0 to 3.2, then up to 3.4 = brick with IOS50-v5120 installed
Example: Down from 4.2 to 3.2, then up to 4.1 = brick with IOS60-v6400 installed
Example: Down from 4.3 to 4.1, then up to 4.2 = brick with IOS70-v6912 installed
Never Update online
Updating online will remove all softmods, bootmii included, and could brick your wii.
Don't do this unless you're instructed to do so by a forum mod.
Never update from disk
Updating from disk can brick or semi-brick your wii. It is almost never necessary, even when the disk say's otherwise.
Don't do this unless you're instructed to do so by a forum mod.
Never downgrade system menu of newer wii's
System menu's less then 3.4 do not support newer wii hardware. Downgrading a newer wii will result in a brick.
Example- Downgrading a newer wii to 3.2 could brick it.
Never downgrade ios files of newer wii's
Newer wii's will not function with many downgraded ios files. Downgrading your ios files to enable trucha bug could cause many black screens or worse, brick your wii.
Example- Downgrading Ios36 to Ios36-v1042 will cause most Homebrew to load to black screens on newer wii's
Use TBR, or Dop-Ios-Mod to enable trucha bug instead
Never install wads of unknown origin.
Bad wads can bannerbrick your wii, or worse, brick your wii. There have been some malicious wads in circulation, that when installed can brick your wii. Only download and install from a reputable source, one with good feedback. Always read the comments.
Never install System menu themes
Without bootmii install as boot2. System menu themes have a bad habit of bricking wii's. Usually because they are not compatible with your current system menu, and other issues. Installing them will remove your preloader, so if you don't have bootmii installed as boot2, there is very litle you can do to recover. Having a theme is not worth the risks. Don't do it, or be prepared to pay the price.
Never format your wii
Formatting your wii will not remove all of your softmods, and it could brick your wii.
Never update a region changed Korean wii.
If you have a region changed Korean wii, updating will result in a brick.
You will receive error 003, which is currently unfix-able. Korean wii's have a LKM######### serial number. If you have one of these, do not update your wii. Also region changed Korean wii's should install cIOS70-v6174.zip, which may prevent "error 003" should you update by mistake. Don't update. SM 4.3 is out, install cIOS80-v6174.zip to prevent any issue. Remember, never update.
Never format a semi-bricked wii
If your wii is semi-bricked from an out of region disk update and you are unable to enter the system settings, never format.
Formatting a semi-bricked wii, with Nintendo's Recovery disk or other method will result in a bigger brick.
Never listen to youtube
Youtube guides are a nice idea, but they FAIL all to often. Stay on this guide. Many guides become out dated, and will brick wii's.
Never rush
Most bricks happen from careless actions. Slow down, read the forums, and be sure to ask questions.
Why Hack your Wii.
Well there's many reasons:
Run Backups of your legally copied games.
Watch animes with MPlayer
Run Apps
Get free WiiWare or VC games
Play imported Wii games
And much more...
Please if your going to run Backups... Buy the Original Game first and then make a Backup.
But if you live in a place where people donŽt care about piracy (like Ecuador) then run backups like crazy.
If you want the guide in Spanish IŽll gladly give it to you.
If you need any help, then please contact me.
This guide was basically from messie but I added a little more to it.
Note: I have not programmed or been part of any of these programs, credits all go to them! Team Twiizers, Bootmii and Hackmii guys, comex for his bannerbomb, and all the others that created the various apps for the Wii!!
