Help and advice. Hi, I've finally got round to hacking my wii. Some basic info regarding the wii. It is running system menu 4.0e and is currently a virgin console. I bought it in November '08, but it was a refurb (so I have no idea how old it is exactly but the serial code on the bottom begins "LEH2". I am planning to use the BannerBomb exploit, I have all the files ready to go and I will be using a 4gb SDHC card: [www.amazon.co.uk] I will be following the guide on the wiibrew website. Is there anything I need to know, any tips to make it a smooth and easy process? I've read a good few tutorials, seen a load of youtube videos and it all seems pretty simple. Also, I would like to know how to backup my NAND using bootmii, IE how do you get into the menu and how is it navigated (I do not have a gamecube controller). Just incase anything happens to be safe. Thanks. I also find it pretty ironic how one of the ads just above the post, for me links to a site which makes you pay for the exploit and is also for backups :Phttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19452#msg-19452Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:33:17 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19822#msg-19822 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19822#msg-19822

Disregard the stuff I said earlier about it being made in 2006, turns out that was just when the stuff inside it was copyrighted. Looks lime will have to use the bootmii chacker thing.]]> ParrotBoy Getting StartedSun, 07 Jun 2009 02:48:59 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19609#msg-19609 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19609#msg-19609 WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedSun, 07 Jun 2009 02:37:58 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19608#msg-19608 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19608#msg-19608
This is the first console I've modded so I'm being a safety freak and making sure every little thing is right and backed up haha.]]> ParrotBoy Getting StartedSun, 07 Jun 2009 02:30:46 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19605#msg-19605 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19605#msg-19605 WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedSun, 07 Jun 2009 02:14:36 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19603#msg-19603 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19603#msg-19603
But I still need to know, what buttons on the console do what in bootmii. Thanks.]]> ParrotBoy Getting StartedSun, 07 Jun 2009 01:40:22 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19512#msg-19512 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19512#msg-19512

LU is America, LEH seems to be Europe (or at least UK).
LEH1 here, with boot2 bootmii. You may be in luck, but can't say either way.

Alright, thanks. Only reason I have been putting this off is because my SD card is yet to arrive from amazon...If It had come earlier I would have done it straight away.]]> ParrotBoy Getting StartedSat, 06 Jun 2009 11:37:38 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19471#msg-19471 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19471#msg-19471LEH1 here, with boot2 bootmii.

The installer will tell you if you can't use it as boot2.

Ah, Thanks for that.]]> ParrotBoy Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 23:23:24 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19467#msg-19467 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19467#msg-19467 Kage52124 Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 23:20:59 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19465#msg-19465 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19465#msg-19465 ParrotBoy Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 23:15:20 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19464#msg-19464 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19464#msg-19464

I will try to research my serial code to see if I can get any dates.
Just look and see if your serial code has LU64.]]> Arikado Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 23:09:29 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19463#msg-19463 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19463#msg-19463 WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 23:09:00 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19461#msg-19461 Re: Help and advice.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19452,19461#msg-19461
