Need help downgrading wii 4.0u to 3.2u.

*I think this is the wrong section*

Im in need of help downgrading wii. I updated to 4.0 before i got homebrew channel. I've tried all guides to downgrade my wii but all i get are errors. I looked for threads around here but i dont think i ever found any with downgrading wii after updated. If anyone can help give me a guide to downgrade my wii, I would really appreciate it. Or a link of a topic i was looking for.

Downgrade = FAIL
You don't need to downgrade to use the homebrew channel

You don't need to downgrade for any type of homebrew AFAIK. Why do you think you need to downgrade?

Also, you should be careful with what you're doing. Most of these "guides" are infamous for bricking wiis...

Well, there are a couple of homebrew which work better on 3.2, such as Gecko OS (being able to use hooks), and also, if you're on 4.0, I don't think you could have trucha bug enabled IOSes (Is that the correct plural of IOS? I always refer to it as that, but I'm not sure if that's right) unless you upgraded in a certain way, which he didn't, so he can't use the likes of preloader. However, there MAY be ways of getting them working without downgrading, I dunno

Yes, you can have trucha enabled IOSs on (virgin) 4.0s Its fairly easy to do.

This is NOT an endorsement, but this comes from the forum that handles GeckoOS: Link Removed - Contains Unsupported Software. This may be the best guide out there, but as always you must do so with extreme caution. Also ask yourself, "Is it worth the risk of bricking my Wii? Should I install Bootmii as boot2 and do a NAND backup?" If you can't do the backup, I wouldn't recommend trying the downgrade.

I'm not going to remove that link, as there's nothing illegal in it. But I don't totally agree with some of it. Like Kage says, use at your own risk.
Redacted. I didn't originally see there was an archive being distributed with it. It contains tons of WiiBrew-condemned software. Link Removed.

Sorry Arikado, hope I didn't offend...

I used the link and successfully downgraded a while ago. If you do end up doing it, if it doesn't work the first time, you just have to keep trying until you have success. The IOS downgrader takes a long time to work, just keep trying until it works.
