Ok, here it goes. I normally have no problems when it comes to techie things, but I absolutely can NOT get the HBC to install using the Bannerbomb exploit. I have read as much as I can about installing, and I am positive I have followed the directions to a 'T'. Here's what is going on.......
I have Version 4.1U of the Wii System Menu. Using the bannerbomb file and the boot.elf file, loaded onto a 2GB Sandisk SD card that is marketed for the Wii, nothing happens. And when I mean nothing, I mean nothing. The Wii acknowledges that I have an SD card inserted into the slot, but nothing pops up on the SD section of the Channels Menu. My Wii will not freeze, load, or read anything(on that menu). I could put games in and play, save to the SD card, basically I can do whatever I want with the SD card inserted, and it changes nothing. I have tried every version of the bannerbomb exploit that is on the site, but nothing seems to work. I also reformatted the card between a couple versions of the bannerbomb to see if that would help, which it didn't. And before anyone asks, I have also tried this with a Lexar 2GB SD Premium card as well.
So, any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated, I'm losing my mind over here!!!!!1!

Make sure the files on your SD card look like this:
ROOT:/private/wii/title/aktn/content.bin
ROOT:/boot.elf
Navigate to data management and launch the boot.elf.
If that still doesn't work, then maybe you could try a different boot file.(? :P) Download a random application from wiibrew, and take the boot.elf/dol from the folder you download, put it on the root of your SD card, and then try launching it. Make sure you get rid of the boot.elf thats already on the root of your SD card, though.

Well......I have tried it with and without the title folder. Doesn't make a difference if I have it in there or not. I have also tried a couple different boot.elf/dol files, and they don't do anything either. Im going to try to do another rundown of all the bannerbomb files, just in case I missed one or something. Do you know of anyone else who has not been able to get any of the bannerbomb files to work?

and you said you are following this part to a T?:
# Do NOT insert your SD card into the console yet
# Power on your Wii and enter the Wii Settings menu
# Go to "Data Management" then select "Channels" and then "SD Card"
# Insert your SD card into the slot found in the front of your Wii console
# A window should appear "Load Boot.dol/elf?" Click "Yes"
What about this step:
Get a SD card. If it has a private directory, rename it temporarily, e.g. to "privateold". Having other saved channels on the same card will screw it up.

To clarify what mdbrim said, if you have a private folder on your SD card before you tried running bannerbomb, it will mess it up. You have to rename the one that you previously had on your SD card to privateold.Quote

If you didn't already have a private folder, nevermind. :P

yeah, sorry... what he said :D
It probably won't apply to you if you were doing all of this with a new fresh SD card that didn't have any saves on it...

I have tried this with two different SD cards that were fresh out of the packaging. Nothing was saved on them before I tried to do the HBC install.
And yes, I have followed that part to a 'T' every time I have tried to do this. I have also tried doing it without turning the Wii off in between each try. The "Load Boot.elf/dol?" window NEVER comes up for me. Also, my Wii NEVER freezes.

Ok try every version of bannerbomb. It should look like this:
/Private/title/atkn/content.bin (this folder is bannerbomb)
/boot.dol (this should be the hackmii isntaller)
I had my SD card in the wii, turned it on, went to data management, channels, SD card.
It should pop up asking to boot the .dol/.elf
/Private/title/atkn/content.bin (this folder is bannerbomb)
/boot.dol (this should be the hackmii isntaller)

Mine goes:
/private/wii/title/aktn/content.bin
/boot.elf
The file I get in the newest version of the Hackmii installer is .elf
