New to Wii updates

I was wondering if someone can help me out. I have a wii with firmware 3.2U and have homebrew and other miscellaneous stuff installed. I want to update the system to current firmware etc because i am unable to do some stuff like wii shop and stuff but I don't know a safe way to go about it. I didn't do the original installation so if somebody could walk me thru an idiot proof way of do this, i'd really appreciate it. I do have the SD card with all the files etc. it was done with the Twilight method.

Thanks

The easiest way to update would be to:

1.) Navigate to the wii settings.
2.) Select the "Update System" option.

Also, this question has been answered 1,000 times before. Try using the search function next time. :)

Edit: Oh, and before you ask "Are you sure this is safe?", let me say that yes, it is safe. You will not brick your wii.

Its also in the FAQ, which people should read.

Thank you - people. I apologize for not browsing around here first. I will attempt to be more thorough in the future and try not to waste anyone's time.

Thanks again!

I'm glad I could help! Sorry if I came off as rude, I didn't mean it. If you have more questions, feel free to ask them.

Will I have to re-install Homebrew etc? afterwards or will everything just stay as is?

If you're using the latest version of the HBC, it will not be deleted when you update.

If you have Boot Mii, it will need to be reinstalled though.

Only if its installed as boot2.

Thanks for everybody's help. I guess the key here is to update the homebrew channel first.

again, all your help is appreciated

I was wondering if someone can help me out. I have a wii with firmware 3.4e (uk) and have homebrew and other miscellaneous stuff installed. I want to update the system to current firmware etc because i am unable to do some stuff like wii shop and bbc iplayer and the sd card update,but I don't know if a 100% safe go a head and update . I did the original installation about a year ago so if somebody could walk me thru an idiot proof way of do this, i'd really appreciate it. I do have the SD card with all the files etc. it was done with the Twilight method.so if i update my homebrew software i can update my wii and all my homebrew stuff will still be on my wii.Do i just update wii ????????

Update the Homebrew Channel to the newest version (if it is not version 1.0.5 or later) and then update.
