From v1 versions of bannerbomb i have downloaded two zip files 1-hackmii_installer_v0.6 2-aad1f_v108.zip As there is no file named installer.elf (described in step 3 of hackmii_installer_v0.6 download page:”Go download the HackMii installer. Copy installer.elf to the root of the SD card, and rename it to boot.elf.”)so i have copied all other file in hackmii_installer_v0.6 to the root of sd card although it has file boot.elf. Now i copied the private folder from aad1f_v108.zip to the root of sd card and followed the instruction as suggested by u but it gives a freezed screen •. Hi I am stuck on Step 4. I just bought a new Wii today and System Menu is 4.2U. I followed your instructions to step 4.

The screen shows “Nothing is inserted in the SD Card Slot.” and I inserted the SD card and it froze. I also tried “bannerbomb alpha – v2” on this link: In this case, it didn’t freeze but showed an SD icon with question mark (?) and three options on the bottom (Copy, Move, and Erase).

I have tried many file PACKs and they either freezes or shows SD icon (? Songs Of Bidai Serial Star Plus. ). Never got asked to load “boot.elf” or not.

Does my Wii have newer protection or was I doing something wrong? Hello, Excellent guide btw. I’m just having a little trouble. This is my first time doing any modding and I was doing fine until step 21. I can’t find the Bootmii config. App Idk what i’m doing wrong but when I click the Homebrew channel there’s just the bubbles in the background.

And when I click home on the Wiimote and go to the Launch Bootmii I get lost. So if you could tell me how to find that that’d be awesome, thanks. Additional info: I’m was able to download Boot 2 and the IOS thingy as well as DVDX and the HBC (of course) I’m using the 3.3 – 4.1 version. And uhh, when I was backing up the NAND thing it said there was a faculty bad block at 973 if that’s of any importance And I did skip it when it was double checking the NAND thing again Thanks again for your help dude •.

Hello adewii! Before anything, thanks for these amazing guides. I just soft modded my 4.2E and everything worked like a charm. Could install Homebrew, Bottmii as IOS and priiloader without problems.

My question is very simple: may i activate WiiConnect24 again after the installation (because of the Weather and News Channels), or this is something i just have to leave without? And where can i find a list of supported USB devices and games to play from backup, as the links in your guide give a 500 error? Thanks a lot for the support!

Hey, got a little story: I love hacking consoles – I’ve done the twilight hack, no problem.

A friend recently gave me a 4.0u to hack and the bannerbomb does nothing. I have the files on the SD, going to Channels >SD but I get absolutely nothing – just a bunch of blank blocks. Two different SD cards that did work with Twilight. I’ve used every ‘variation’ of bannerbomb available.

All I get is blank blocks. Verified the 4.0u again, checked the switch on the SD card, verified files were right. Man, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks -dz nutz •. Ok i have a 4.2 wii with homebrew channel on it from bannerbomb but when i click on it everything is running great now tho i have my apps and wad files on my sd card and wen im in homebrew channel and click to load the apps file to install it takes me to the screen but then when it says press a my wii remote wont work anymore!!!! Like i tried a classic controller also and that wont work!!! Now this is my issue my wii remote wont work to finish installing i have full baterries in them im so lost please help •.

Hi adewii, I need your advice. I have a wii 3.3E. I installed hbc with twilight hack, everything went fine.

Now I’d like to play backup games, but I’m stuck. I tried to install the backup loader but it gave me an error message, it would need a cIOS installed and it’d go to the Internet but I don’t want to connect my wii to the internet Then I tried neoGamma yesterday and it everything went black, I had to reboot. Then I tried to install bootmii and it got a grey screen with 3 icons and never would leave from there Thanks in advance, Kathy •. Tanks for everytink adewii now i have hbc and uloader installed all the steps was so clear for me and i speec spanish now i will donwnload ff cb and will see if it work now my problem is than i had go to uloader for see if it work and i has press B for go out and nothink happenet the i pressed home and in the screnn apeared DSI esepcion i turned off and desconeted it and try to turn it on again but i just got a black screen i repit the prosses and it has ran normal but i am scary of enter again can i enter or it is dangerous tanks Pd: wao my english is horrible •. I am able to install bootmii boot2 successfully, however when I reboot my wii it just goes to the system menu like normal.

I remember seeing someone say that they tried a different (nintendo certified) SD card and that got some part of bootmii to work for them that wasn’t before. I’m using a pretty generic 2 gb SD (not HC) card, should I buy a nintendo certified card to see if that works (or better yet, do you know of any kind of compatibility list?), or do you think its something else? My wii has 4.2U.

Hey Adewii, Watched your vids on utube, the ones where you did your m8’s 3.1e, I too am on a virgin 3.1e, and wanted to follow your vid as a guide, but now it seems it is no longer available. Could you tell me the main differences between your vids then, and what software has changed, Don’t know if i’m right, but there seems no point in going to 4.2, if 4.2 is only a protection update. Would really appreciate a little help. Will you be doing anymore vids, as there about the best i’ve seen so far. Ttfn sadsack •. I am having a bit of a problem with the bootmii configurator it wont load but gives me a DSI error. System is 4.2e Steps taken Installed HBC Installed DVDx Installed Boot2 Installed Bootmii as ios Created Nand Backup Launched bootmii configurator from HBC get the DSI errors.

I have tried both an SDHC card (original card to do all above steps) and also a SD card I copied all the files over from the SDHC card. Both cards boot the wii into the grey screen where you use the front panel buttons ot navigate. Bootwii configurator works with neither. Thanks in advance •. I was launching it from the HBC accessed from the Bootmii screen, but having seen your reply tried from going to the wii main menu then the hbc. This seemed to work, I say seemed as on repeating the procedure it gave me a DSI error again.

Playing around I found that if i go to the HBC channel from the main wii menu not bootmii it seems to work 50% of the time. However I also then tried using the homebrew browswer, and had got DSI exception errors occasionally with this. So the big question now is why am i gettint these, has something gone wrong with the soft mod? Should i start over? Is it even possible to start over?

Thanks for the info, I reinstalled bootmii again, and I was able to exit back to main menu, without any problems this time. I hit the reset button, but on reboot, it loaded up to the main menu, no grey screen with 4 icons.So, I shut down the Wii, and turn it back on again, this time I saw 4 icons for about 2 seconds, then it loaded to the main menu. So, I am unable to get to these icons to back up to the SD card, so is there another way to do a backup, because I am unable to get to this backup to SD card option.

I have a quick question. I have homebrew and uloader up and working flawlessly on my wii. However i softmoded a friends wii and after i got it all installed i was checking to make sure everything was working properly.

When i went to the homebrew browser his was picking up alot more games and stuff in it than mine. So i thought that it had done some sort of update on the browser. So i went back to mine and still the same as it was before. The only thing i cam figure out is that i got my homebrew and browser from another download site, not your. So im thinking that some of the download on mine is not correct.

Im wondreing if there is anyway to remove the download of homebrew and browser without bricking my wii and or loosing everything ive done like the uloader? I pretty much kinda got my stuff on my wii from here and there before i found your site and much prefere you stuff better. I would really like to switch mine over to all your stuff. But i want to make sure i do it properly and not brick. So i bought a new wii a few weeks ago upgraded it to 4.2U. Im stuck on step 7 when it freezes. The step 5 download for 4.2 and abd6a_v200.zip makes it freeze after i press 1 to continue.

Installing A2billing On Ubuntu. I downloaded hackmii and there wasnt a installer.elf just a boot.elf so i used that. With abd69_v200.zip and abd6b_v200.zip it will freeze as its loading the sd card before the “run boot.dol/elf?” pops up. I tried two of the “other?” and its just shows up as a question mark on the wii and says i can load these files or what not. When im trying these the only files on my sd card are: Apps, Private, Privateold, and boot.elf. Let me know what i did wrong please. Wiiconnect is off. 1gig sd card.

Im not sure what more info you would need. I figured out my own problem.

Adewii: i think a part of your guide is confusing, or for me it was. After you load the sd card and its hangs for that 10 seconds you have to press 1 to continue which makes me think 1 is the main “continue to the next screen” button. But i found out once you get to the install screen the “A” button is used as the “continue to the next screen” button. This got me and i wouldn’t of figured it out unless i got frustrated and started pressing buttons lol. I think this is the problem people have with it freezing cause they think they need to press 1 not A to continue. Appreciate you going to all this effort to help people – I’m just trying to play DVDs (only) as I don’t have a DVD player, downsizing my loungeroom due to toddlers fingers!!

I’m having same error as this op. HBC and DVDx install fine. Error on bootmii. Have reformatted SD card, tried again – same problem. Seems I can’t/shouldn’t bypass the bootmii step either. And I’ve read a bit about this “nand” thing, and the wisdom in backing up properly to help resolve future problems if the Wii gets bricked. Any other workarounds you know of for the “Unable to mount” problem, and bootmii failed install?

Failed to provide relevant info – Wii system v4.2E, was using a Panasonic 4GB SDHC that was previously used in a Camcorder (but formatted to FAT32). Subsequently went and bought a 2GB Kingston(?) SDHC. Formatted to FAT32. Unzipped the 4.2 version of package as directed, and it’s all installed fine – including boot2. Now I’m one step away from getting DVDs to play. I understood this would have installed DVDx.2 but can’t get Mplayer CE v.076 to play DVDs. I think this is one for another forum, so I’ll keep looking.

But for other users, if at first this process fails – just do as the man says, try a new/different SD card. Hi Wii was on 3.4e but the DVD drive is non functional. I installed using guides from here to run uLoader etc to run from USB drive. This was partially successful. But sometimes apps from Homebrew Channel would produce black screen, sometimes they would work. Backups from USB drive would sometimes work and sometimes not. So I did an official update to 4.2e Re-installed bootmii, homebrew and dvdx (as per guide for version 4.2) Bootmii was to boot2 I now cannot run Homebrew Channel from either bootmii screen or Wii main menu When I run it there is only a black screen.

Is there a way to clean everything out so I start back at a clean Wii on 4.2e Thanks David •. Ok this is driving me insane now, can someone help please? I bought a new Wii last night and used the update util to update, So i assume that i am on 4.2. The confusion im getting is about installing homebrew. 1, i read that prior to installing Homebrew i should install Priiloader and patch IOS36.

Guide says go to and follow 2,3 and 4. 2, step 2 is “Power on your Wii and go into the Homebrew Channel.” but i cant go in to a homebrew channel because it isn’t installed. Because i have to install Priipatch first. Basicly all i want to do is backup/play games from and external hard drive.

Could anyone help me pleeease!:)) ty in advance •. I have Wii version 4.2 and im getting the same errors as most people when installing DvDx, i can assure you that i have the right installer as there are only 2 to choose from, DvDx 3.2 installer and DvDx installer. I have the later.

I try to do the basic install and i get the normal error, I click advanced install and i go threw all of the IOS#’s and everyone of them does not work so i dont see how im supposed to be able to install this. If you dont know how to get this to install then is there any other way to watch DvDs on the wii?

Thanks and this is a great walkthrough btw, i used it all the way through the install.

Here is a little tutorial. - make a folder called 'wad' - put your 'wad' programs in there ( a wad-program always ends with '.wad' note: WAD-installer ain't a '.wad' file!!! You have to put wad-installer.

Elf or.dol in the root of your sd card It depends on what firmware you have on your WII!!! - use wad-installer.elf if you have firmware 3.3 - use wad-installer.dol if you have firmware 3.4 - Now change the name from 'wad-installer.elf to 'boot.elf'(only when you have firmware 3.3!!!) - or change 'wad-installer.dol' to 'boot.dol' ( only if you hav firmware 3.4 or higher. You also have to use twilight hack to start wad-installer!!! To use twilight hack you need: - twilight hack (go to ) you need 'twilight hack v0.1 -beta1' if you have firmware 3.3 on your wii for firmare 3.4 or higher you need 'twilight hack v.0.1 -beta2' - to use twilight hack watch this video: I hope i did help you with this.
