Hello, I had previously helped a friend with a Wii and used IOS58 along with HBC 1.0. Everything was fine and then it suddenly stopped booting homebrew. I updated HBC to 1.1 but still can't boot homebrew. It starts to load and then stops or I just get a blank screen. Any ideas? I haven't followed anything with the Wii in some time so I think I'm out of the loop. Thanks for any help.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71990#msg-71990Mon, 17 Aug 2026 09:46:29 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71996#msg-71996 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71996#msg-71996
Sorry for the trouble and thanks again for the response. I really appreciate it.]]> _mj_ Homebrew GeneralTue, 04 Dec 2012 00:06:57 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71995#msg-71995 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71995#msg-71995those guides. The problem with them is they install a whole host of nonsense only useful to pirates (and I guess legitimate backup users, but the number of pirates greatly outnumbers them sadly), without the person installing (you, in this case) really understanding what they're doing.

It's so much better to learn what stuff actually does and decide for yourself what you want to install. Although I understand that takes time and not everyone wants to spend time doing that.

Anyway, if you go into priiloader and go to settings then system menu hacks, you should see a hack called something like "block online updates" which will be enabled; disable it, then system update should work. After that, try homebrew again.

Also, I want to check: what homebrew are you loading? (Just making sure it isn't something that relies on a cIOS like a backup loader or WAD installer, in which case the "problem" is probably a stubbed IOS249, and we won't really give you any help seeing as we don't support that sort of thing here; if on the other hand you're loading stuff like emulators or WiiMC or homebrew games or whatever, we'll do all we can)]]> SifJar Homebrew GeneralMon, 03 Dec 2012 23:18:18 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71994#msg-71994 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71994#msg-71994
I have also been having some problems with the SD card on my PC, in that when I try to copy and move files it hangs and Windows wants to scan it. Could the SD card be the issue?]]> _mj_ Homebrew GeneralMon, 03 Dec 2012 20:51:13 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71992#msg-71992 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71992#msg-71992
Note that if you have any cIOS or other stuff for "backups", you may experience problems with some of that stuff. Any legit homebrew stuff should be fine.]]> SifJar Homebrew GeneralMon, 03 Dec 2012 19:48:59 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71991#msg-71991 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71991#msg-71991 _mj_ Homebrew GeneralMon, 03 Dec 2012 18:49:04 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71990#msg-71990 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71990,71990#msg-71990
