I Ed Bootmii As Boot1 And Cant Switch To Boot2 Code To Be

Now boot0 cannot be modified at all, boot1 (which loads boot2) can be changed, but has read-only properties.

Now because boot1 loads boot2, it will also check if boot2 has a proper signature and if it doesnt, the Wii will fail to boot.

I Ed Bootmii As Boot1 And Cant Switch To Boot2 Code To Be

However, on older Wiis, there was a bug in boot1 which allowed boot2 code to be replaced with BootMii code.

Nintendo was aware of this bug before the bug was found by the community though.

So people installed BootMii as boot2 and got the best brick protection because even if the system menu failed, boot2 launches before the system menu so they would be fine.

However, as I said previously, Nintendo was aware of the bug and they released a new model of the Wii that fixes the bug so on those Wiis, without the right RSA keys, BootMiiboot2 cannot be installed.

On these Wiis, you can only install BootMii as an IOS, which gives you absolutely no brick protection alone.

I have downloaded the bootmii files and unzipped them to a blank formatted sdcard and when i power up the wii and load my homebrew channel v 1.01 nothing is showing when it reads the sdcard I renamed the installer.elf to boot.elf as the tutorial says and still nothing Im hoping im missing something obvious because I cant see whats up.

The freshly formatted sdcard is empty totaly except for the bootmii files they are in the root of the card and are not in any folders and I wonder if this is whats up Files are: installer.elf now named boot.elf Im unsure if the following 3 files are needed but they came with the download and i tried with or without them and no difference.

README CREDITS LICENSE I did the twighlight hack on this wii so dont have a banner bomb option and tried this in the homebrew channel I have installed.

I load up the wii with the sd card in the wii and when loaded choose the homebrew channel from the wiis list of channels on opening.

I tried opening a different sd card with my other wii files and its being read in the homebrew channel without a problem i loaded up wad manager 1.4 just to test.

Id apprcaite any thoughts or pointers.

If you arent using loadmii then Make a folder called apps in the root of your SD card.

Inside the apps folder make another folder called Bootmii Installer (or whatever you want to call it) Put the Boot.elf in there.

You dont need the other files.

Bannerbomb will boot any dolelf file that has been renamed to boot.dolboot.elf and placed in the root of the SD card.

Just install bannerbomb on the SD card then place the Bootmii installer.elf (renamed boot.elf) at the root of the SD Card.

It says the current boot1 wont allow a boot2 install and i can only do an IOS install.

Thats so sad Im not sure what my best options are now to make a back up of my NAND for emergencies Do I have any other options Am I just as well to leave things be and hope i dont brick the wii with future updates and cIOSs and wads that are needed.

My wii must be to new huh I may be better looking out for a second hand wii thats a little older Thanks agin guys.

My Wii is Japanese and has system menu 4.0J.

I have no idea if it is moded but it could play Guitar Hero original european version at system menu 3.4J but now it only plays japanese games.

I have followed the bannerbomb instructions and have tried different bannerbomb files (aad), two different sd cards (both checked to be working for storage on the Wii by transferring saved game data from wii to SD) All was done according bannerbomb homepage with private folder in SD root and HackMii installer.elf renamed to boot.elf.

No pop-up when inserting SD card.

All I want to do is be able to play Guitar Hero and Wii Fit original European version.

Anyone can help PS I now it was bad to update to 4.0J but it was mistake.
