IOS versions 0xffff?

No, In order to replace it I had him use WAD Manager to run of IOS250 (it was a cIOS) because IOS249 (also cIOS) was broken, and that was able to install the normal IOS34 and let him use the HackMii installer.

Jus as a side-note, cIOS has higher NAND permissions. That's why it can overwrite thes 0xfff IOSes.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's a good thing the cIOS was there

If he did not have a cIOS couldn't he have used the beta 8 installer since that uses the fake sign bug and then just have the homebrew channel update itself to 1.0.3?

When the homebrew channel updates itself, it just downloads and runs the HackMii Installer.

Oh

Although it does not matter because he already had a cIOS installed, the old homebrew channel could have been used to launch the cIOS installer, right? Or would that not work with the messed up IOSes?

I am not trying to defend cIOScorp, I do agree that it is a really bad program. I am just curious about whether his wii could have been fixed without a cIOS already installed.

I think that would have worked. However, I think I have found out the best way to remove cIOScorp - cIOScorp is basically just a batch WAD installer, it installs all the WADs in its WAD folder. You just replace every WAD in its WAD folder with original versions downloaded with NUSD. You just need to get EVERY WAD installed by cIOScorp from NUSD, rename them the same, optionally patch trucha into them with a PC app, then overwrite the cIOScorp WADs with the new ones. Then just run the cIOScorp installer again. After that, run AnyTitle Deleter and delete IOS201 and DVDX, then reinstall DVDX with HackMii Installer. That should (I think) rid you of all traces of cIOScorp.

Does the cIOScorp installer run on cIOS? Otherwise, if I understand it correctly, this should mean that this method will not work since it is installing IOSes with lower version numbers than the ones already installed. In any case, I would rather not attempt this until after installing bootmii incase it causes a brick.

What about those of us with macs that cant use NUSD? :P

Yes i believe that would work but... wouldn't it just be easier to run AnyRegion Changer? Then just re-update?

Possibly, but downgrade is fail and dangerous, WILL brick new wiis, so its best not to recommend it. Yes it will work for many, but now that cIOScorp has a "LU64 fix", some people who can install cIOScorp can't downgrade without bricking. For that reason, we should not give that as a recommended method of getting rid of cIOScrap.

Ahhhh... ok thanks for the heads up.

If I had to uninstall cIOSCORP, I would download WADs for every IOS that had been patched and then install them with WAD Manager, but that's because I'd rather rely on myself then the cIOSCORP Installer.

Where would he get the beta 8 installer?

that would only work if WAD Manager is running off of a cIOS

And with the trucha bug in every IOS, it's fairly easy to get a cIOS.

Yeah I suppose.. but for some reason IOS249 didn't work for that guy
