Re: downloading home brew - 17 years ago
QuoteKintaBoBright so tried the SD card in my Wii but it just freezes i tried all 4 private folders and it still just freezes can someone tell me what im doing wrong please Thank you When does it freeze? After the dialog? If after, I think you may be some of the unlucky few that this does not work for. Some tips: Please note that Bannerbomb does not work for everyone at this time.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: downloading home brew - 17 years ago
QuoteKintaBoBis there a brick fix just incase it bricked it Yes, there is fixes but they may not always work. Installing hombrew cannot hurt your wii. If you really are unsure, once you do install homebrew do a NAND backup using bootmii, if anything does go wrong that can help fix it. But most likely nothing will go wrong. Once you have homebrew, install a little app called " homebrew browser"by ParrotBoy - Getting Started

QuoteArikadoQuoteParrotBoyIf it's brand new you probably can't use the exploit. Look on the underside of the console. Post the first 4 digits of the serial code. If it's Lu64 or higher. Running the exploit will brick your wii.Where the hell did you hear that? BTW its not true. Oh, never knew that, just most tutorials/videos on the net say it will brick the wii so I just thoughby ParrotBoy - Getting Started

Ah, it's a British wii. Mine started the same and worked fine. Good luck. It may work, it may not. As somebody said earlier.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started

Re: downloading home brew - 17 years ago
Just follow the onscreen instructions. The twilight hack was the first exploit. But since that has been fixed in newer firmwares they found this easier better one.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: 4.0U Not working - HackMe and BannerBomb - 17 years ago
Hmmm, are they formatted to FAT32 or FAT16? you seem to be doing everything right. Try the instructions on the wiibrew wiki, if your not so already.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started

Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
Thanks for all the help guys, currently backing up my NAND. :D Can't wait. Managed to install as Boot2, lucky me :) . Just can't stop smiling hahaby ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
Haha, I would panick too. Disregard the stuff I said earlier about it being made in 2006, turns out that was just when the stuff inside it was copyrighted. Looks lime will have to use the bootmii chacker thing.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
thank you so much, I wish the goddam SD card would come :(. 6 days I've waited. This is the first console I've modded so I'm being a safety freak and making sure every little thing is right and backed up haha.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
Hi, sorry for the bump. But I found a site which uses the serial code an shows you some info about the console. Apparantly it was made in 2006 so should boot2 work? An I'm just gonna double check with the bootmii checker tool ( once the bloody SD card arrives). But I still need to know, what buttons on the console do what in bootmii. Thanks.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
QuotePhoenixTankLU is America, LEH seems to be Europe (or at least UK). LEH1 here, with boot2 bootmii. You may be in luck, but can't say either way. Alright, thanks. Only reason I have been putting this off is because my SD card is yet to arrive from amazon...If It had come earlier I would have done it straight away.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started

QuoteKage52124The installer will tell you if you can't use it as boot2. Ah, Thanks for that.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
Nope, LEH2. Will I be able to install as boot2 then?by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
Thanks again. I saw on a video, the guy used the reset button to go through the options on bootmii, I may buy a gamecube controller. If I can find one cheap I will definately buy it. I will try to research my serial code to see if I can get any dates.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Re: Help and advice. - 17 years ago
Thanks for the help, but as I said, I have no idea how old my wii actually is (refurb). Can you tell me how to navigate BootMii? Once I know this, I think I will give it a try tomorrow.by ParrotBoy - Getting Started
Help and advice. - 17 years ago
Hi, I've finally got round to hacking my wii. Some basic info regarding the wii. It is running system menu 4.0e and is currently a virgin console. I bought it in November '08, but it was a refurb (so I have no idea how old it is exactly but the serial code on the bottom begins "LEH2". I am planning to use the BannerBomb exploit, I have all the files ready to go and I will be usinby ParrotBoy - Getting Started
