Should I update to 4.2?
February 15, 2010 12:05AM
Hey guys I am running system menu 4.1 with the homebrew channel and Bootmii installed. I have preformed a nand backup and everything is running fine :). I want to update to 4.2 but I have heard numerous reports of it bricking wiis so I just have a few questions....

Will bootmii still be installed as boot2 after I update?
If my wii gets bricked updating to 4.2 will I be able to restore it to its previous state?
If everything else fails will nintendo give me a new wii or will I have to send the broken one back?

Thanks for the help :)

I'll answer your questions in the order you posted them: :)
Yes, as long as you're using the latest version of bootmii.

You're wii won't brick when you update.

Again, you won't brick your wii by updating, so you don't need to worry about sending it in.

Hope that helps. If you have more questions feel free to ask. :)

Also, it's safe to update as long as you don't turn off your wii during the process. If you turn it off in the middle of the update, you will brick your wii... So just don't turn it off. :)

Bootmii as boot2 will be uninstalled by the update, regardless of its version. However, you can reinstall it after updating.
