Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking? Hello, I'm new to homebrew, but I am familiar enough with computers to follow a guide on how to bannerbomb a wii so I did. I also have bootmii on my wii. Well here's my question. I can't get the wii shop channel or the nintendo channel to work because it asks me for the update. I've tried updating officially but I just brick my wii and have to use bootmii to get back.

Have you installed cIOScorp? If not, have you trucha-patched your IOS?

If the answer to either of these is yes, that is why the update isnt working. HackMii Installer will not use a patched IOS (including the ones installed by cIOScorp), because it does not know what exploits will work on them and how stable they are. If it tries to install using an IOS that turns out unstable, it could potentially brick your Wii.

You need nothing on your SD card to perform the update. The ONLY reason HackMii Installer is failing is because of the patched IOS. To rectify the problem, download dop-IOS MODv7. Run it, and select to run on IOS36. Then install EVERY IOS without any patches. Install IOS36 last, overwriting all other IOS first.

Sorry about the triple post. So what about this one [wiibrew.org] it says that version 8 is the latest. Can I use 8? Or how do I download version 7?]]> bentomo Getting StartedSat, 10 Oct 2009 17:16:31 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37404#msg-37404 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37404#msg-37404 bentomo Getting StartedSat, 10 Oct 2009 17:07:15 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37403#msg-37403 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37403#msg-37403 bentomo Getting StartedSat, 10 Oct 2009 17:02:03 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37383#msg-37383 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37383#msg-37383

Make sure its in the apps folder and the directory looks like this:
ROOT:/apps/the_app_you're_using/boot.dol

Is that how you have it set up? If so, then it will load in the HBC. Good luck! :)]]> WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedFri, 09 Oct 2009 02:29:42 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37197#msg-37197 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37197#msg-37197
Is that it? Then just run it on the homebrew channel?

P.S. Will this also fix the nintendo channel?]]> bentomo Getting StartedFri, 09 Oct 2009 02:23:27 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37050#msg-37050 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37050#msg-37050

WiiBrew.org is a pretty good place to download homebrew...

Or did you mean IOS61 and Shop Channel? If the later, you run the homebrew and it uses your Wii's WiFi to download them, you dont have to manually download them.]]> SifJar Getting StartedWed, 07 Oct 2009 23:05:44 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37041#msg-37041 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,37041#msg-37041 bentomo Getting StartedWed, 07 Oct 2009 22:50:10 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36947#msg-36947 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36947#msg-36947 WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedWed, 07 Oct 2009 06:31:55 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36905#msg-36905 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36905#msg-36905 bentomo Getting StartedWed, 07 Oct 2009 01:08:46 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36855#msg-36855 Re: Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36855#msg-36855Wii Shop and IOS61 Installer to get the shop channel back.]]> gameboy13 Getting StartedTue, 06 Oct 2009 14:53:35 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36854#msg-36854 Can I update my wii to 4.2 without bricking?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,36854,36854#msg-36854

I've tried updating officially but I just brick my wii and have to use bootmii to get back.

My wii is currently 4.0u]]> bentomo Getting StartedTue, 06 Oct 2009 14:17:34 +0200
