Hi. About a few months ago I successfully installed Homebrew on my Nintendo Wii using the Bannerbomb exploit. However a few weeks ago Nintendo wanted an update in order for me to play New Super Mario Bros Wii, and, thinking I had no other choice, decided to do the update. But, first I decided to go to my wii channels menu and delete the homebrew channel as well as formatting my SD card so that my wii wouldn't crash/brick. Then I got the update and everything was fine, only I didn't have Homebrew. Well, I though it would be as simple as getting the latest versions of everything and doing it all over again. I'm pretty sure I have Wii system menu 4.2, which means I'd need to latest Hackmii and Bannerbomb, to which I got both. However since trying to reinstall homebrew, I haven't been able to successfully get my wii to load boot.elf, instead it just freezes and I shut it down. I tried different things, and getting older versions, but I still could not get it to load boot.elf. So now I'm thinking the problem may have something to do with what I did in deleting Homebrew off my channels. Maybe my Wii still has boot.elf loaded and is getting confused. Though I have no knowledge in this area, and would really appreciate help in understanding my situation so that I can get Homebrew back up again.

Thanks very much for the help, the site is easy to use, I just made an error and didn't read that 4.2 required a different install ^^; Homebrew's back up again!]]> Zomgzilla Getting StartedSat, 12 Dec 2009 22:05:17 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44204#msg-44204 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44204#msg-44204 WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedSat, 12 Dec 2009 22:00:58 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44202#msg-44202 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44202#msg-44202 Zomgzilla Getting StartedSat, 12 Dec 2009 21:50:50 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44201#msg-44201 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44201#msg-44201
Thanks for the help, so you're saying that when I deleted the Homebrew channel I didn't screw myself out of getting it again? Will it ask about boot.elf again?]]> Zomgzilla Getting StartedSat, 12 Dec 2009 21:48:22 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44200#msg-44200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44200#msg-44200 Crisco Getting StartedSat, 12 Dec 2009 21:40:13 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44199#msg-44199 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,44199,44199#msg-44199
