Wierd Boot Problem

Ok, I´ll use the DOP-IOS tonight.

Question: If I need to use the WAD tool , I must to put the .dol file ( the tool) and the .wad file ( the IOS30 downloaded with NUS) in the root of SD card at the same time or:
I must to put first the WAD file, to load it and then to put the .wad file. Could you tell me what is the procedure?

Make a folder called "wad" on the root of your SD card. I think its case sensitive, so don't call it "WAD" or "Wad", or anything like that, just "wad". Put the .wad file that you're using inside the wad folder on your SD card, and then put the wad manager's boot.dol file on the root of your SD card. Does that make sense?

Ok, WaxyPumpkin thanks, for the explanation, I need to do it ´cause I couldn´t to DOP any file.
I installed the dop-ios.elf and then when I tried to use the option "file loaded" it tell me "error reading the file try to install again" and when I used the option "press 1 to load the file" the system only shows "loading file..." I waited for one hour and it do nothing. so I turned off.
I´ll use the wad options now.
Thanks

I think that you may need to have Preloader load loadmii and use loadmii to start Dop-IOS; however, a WAD installation is easier and more likely to work.

Hi jbc007, I´m sorry but I´m a litle dummy, WaxyPumpkin explain us the method for to use wad, but I´m not sure about which "wad" I should ude,
This one . could be [crediar.no-ip.com] .
Tanks.

It does not matter what WAD installer you use. I recomended WAD Import since it is supported by Wiibrew. WAD manager is more popular, but it is usually used for piracy so it is not on Wiibrew and I cannot link to it. However, it is alright to use it to install legal WADs such as IOS and system menu WADs.

Ok, guys.
finally I used the WadImport:
I put the wad (.dol file) on SD root and the .wad files on the "wad" carpet.
First I used the WadImport and this was what I got.

Then I used the wadmanager v1.4 and... I got the same screen. there is a litle difference between Import and manager: manager shows me one menu for to choose which IOS version I must to use. the results... the same thing.
here is the another picture .

So far we haven´t found the magic door, we need to keep trying.
So what can we try now?

what IOS did you choose in WAD Manager?

first I tried with IOS249, and then with IOS60, 30 and 35, always I got the same results.
Thanks

Well, then it is not a problem with the IOS that you chose. Maybe somehow Preloader is having a problem loading the program, although this seems unlikely. Still, you could try using Preloader to load Loadmii and launch Wad Manager with it. You could also test the rest of your IOSs in WAD Manager incase the ones that you used were somehow corrupted.

Its just a shot in the dark, but you could try Pimp My Wii and see if it can install system menu 4.1.

Hello I`ve been trying with Loadmii, but always i get the screen with garbage about the "CODE DUMP" and "STACK DUMP" .

With Pimp My Wii I loaded the boot.dol and one menu shows up
- pass the test and fix the problems.
-pass the test
-Manual Installations.
- Exit.
but the wiimote only blink the four lights when I press some button and do nothing else.
I have a doubt. when I unzipped the PimpMyWii the file was put in I:\pimp_my_wii 1.01\apps\pimp_my_wii. I made a copy and put it on SD root, it was correct??
What else we can try??

Whenever I run loadmii from preloader I also get a code dump, but pressing reset will get past it and start loadmii. I only suggested pimp my wii because it is the last program that I can think of that can install a system menu; I haven't used it myself so I cannot help you with its usage.

The problem that you are having is extremely unusual and I cannot say for sure what is causing it. My guess is that many of your IOSes were corrupted, but I have no way of knowing for sure. If this is the case, your best chance of fixing your wii is to test WAD Manager with all of your IOSes and see it it works.

One final thought, what happens when you run the hackmii installer?

Ok, it´s means, the code dump page is normal.
How long do you need to press the reset button??

Press reset as many times as necessary until loadmii starts, if you press it a few times and it still does not start than there may be another problem that I have never encountered.

Although loadmii may be worth a try, it is likely not to help.

Sure! I pressed the reset and the Loadmii start, I selected the WadImport it loaded and showed the "a exception has ocurred" and a lot of code.
I pressed again the reset and it shows me the menu of Loadmii again.
Then I tryed with Wadmanager, and then did it the same thing.
So I tryed to load the IOS30 and IOS35 but nothing happens, so I pressed "A" button and it comes out.
I´m gonna read all your messages again and I´m gonna try the steps when the "CODE DUMP" shows up the first time.
Do you have any other suggestions??
Thanks for all your help with this shee..!
