Try with

put both on your SD card, rename the .dol/.elf file in the hackmii installer to boot.dol/.elf (whichever one it was originally) and go to your channel option from save data management in your wii and hit yes. This *should* work, as it worked for me.

If not, i really don't know maybe someone else could be of help :)

i did that already... along with trying to use teilight... but i guess 4.0U isnt compatible with twilight i dunno... but ive done that i appreciate it... should i downgrade?

No need to downgrade. Bannerbomb is the only one that works with 4.0 at the moment.

Don't use the SD menu, go to settings -> wii channels -> sd card

EDIT: Also, don't even consider downgrading at this point. I can almost guarantee you would brick your wii.

just booted boot.elf from

The Homebrew Channel: Can be installed
DVDX: Can be installed
BootMii: Can only be installed as an IOS
the installed boot1 version prevents a boot2 version install (-2)

>continue

UMMM

EDIT: i installed Homebrew and was sucessful.... installed DVDX was sucessful....
is there anyway to get boot2? or is the fact that my Wii is so new i can only install as IOS?

something i just found out... when i boot with my 256 MB SD Kodak card the install goes through to the screen telling me HBC, and DVDX can be installed

but the same 2 files on my Wii 2GD SD card freezes
and i dont want to install as IOS so any ideas?

Ive already opend an account at gamefly.com and got 2 games via mail, twilight and olympics

if i install as IOS can i keep from gettin bricked by turning off updates?

You're making this way too complicated. You installed the Homebrew Channel, congratulations. Gamefly games will work with any Wii of their region, which is always the region you rented them from.

That means: Server issues, try again later.

HBC installed from 256 MB SD BootMii loads to screen then wiimote turns off.... anyone know what that is? am i supposed to be able to acess the other options that i san see? also i need to make a nand backup.

Can that be backed up to my 2GB Wii SD Card? and if so do i have to have the boot.elf and private folder on that SD also?
My Wii card loads the files up but freezes with all versions ... maybe my Wii Card is faulty?

thanx everybody for your input

Wii remotes don't work in the BootMii menu, use either a gamecube controller or the power, reset, and eject buttons on the Wii.

2GB is more than enough space for a backup. You just need the BootMii files so it can load on startup.

Could we make a sticky about the Hackmii Installer with lots of bold, italicized, underlined, and colorized (don't know how to do that :-P) as an FAQ for how to get started, addressing the basics about how to run all this stuff? Or would it not be worth the hassle?

Whats wrong with the current FAQ? ( [forum.wiibrew.org] )

Absolutely nothing is wrong with it, but I think it could use an update to reflect BaNNeRBoMB and the Hackmii Installer since we've been seeing quite a few people around making silly mistakes about the SD menu and other bannerbomb related 'whoops' factors.

Then edit the mirror of the FAQ on the wiki here: [www.wiibrew.org] and I'll incorporate your changes into the stickied forum version.
