View Full Version : V4 Wii Softmod (without zelda)



akyboo
24th June, 2009, 09:32 PM
This soft mod is for V4 and uses the bannerbomb crack upgrading to V4 is not recommended(only by me) this has been tested on V4 and works but this is a little more detailed than the Soft mod for dummies in the sense that if the aad1f_v108 file does not work you have to go to the site (link supplied) and get a different version other than that its fairly ok. Follow the tut in the doc. file exactly and you should be fine. This is for versions 4 wii's. Please do not use this thread for first post, the thread is to help those that need help and advice

Mate, if you used Bannerbomb you should end up with 4 new channels on your Wii.
1.BackUp Loader
2.HBC
3.Gamecube Loader
4.Iso Dumper

Have you got these?:hmmmm2:

depends on what version you have, what version wii have you
so is 4.0E easy to hack using this method of yours?

Brasco, If you put the Backup Launcher program files on the SD card you should be able to use the program. Any program that requires installation, will verify that that it will be installed. Follow instructions, and you will be swell.

So it does work on 4.1E that's a good thing :) But will I still be able to play Wii Resort?

Btw. I've put all the files on a formatted SD-card just like te instruction said. I turn on my Wii (without the SD-card in the Wii) and go to the SD-card menu. But now if I enter the SD-card the Wii freezes... instead of the install screen :|

Can someone help please?

My Wii was softmodded before, nut I needed to update it to 4.1E to use my WiiMotion...

I did format my SD-card to FAT16 and I deleted the homebrewchannel, discloader etc. that I was using before.

But now if I go to the SD-card menu and insert my SD-card with the installfiles (as said in the manual) my Wii just freezes...

Worked 1st time on 4.1E (with BootMii already installed - it didnt appear to stop CIOS installing)

Ive spent 4 days trying to find a good tutorial for the 4 firmware. This is the only clear and concise (and not over technical) one I could find. Its as n00b proof as you could make it.

So mega kudos to Akyboo! You are a legend...

Next stage... USB HDD loader... and hey, what do you know, tutorial for it on DK too! Fantastic..

hi nizinsky you need to followed the guide step by step

1) Downgrade IOS35:
This section will downgrade and patch IOS35 so we can install a cIOS.
Start the Homebrew Channel and run DowngradeIOS35 from the Homebrew channel menu.
Go up and select "Downgrade IOS35" (skip patchmii and dvdx).
After it downgrades IOS35 go down to "EXIT" and it should exit to the Homebrew Channel.
Run WAD Manager.
Select A to agree to the disclaimer.
Select IOS version to use: <IOS35> Press A.
Select source device: <Wii SD Slot> Press A.
Go to IOS35.WAD in the list and press A.
Select action: <install wad> press A.
After the WAD file is installed press HOME to return to the Wii System menu

download Trucha Bug Restorer (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=6378) and Watch video.
will need to be pacthed on newer Wiis, but it won't hurt to do it on all Wiis, so I'll just put the steps here anyway. If you think you don't need it, you can skip this-- but if the next steps don't work, come back here. =)
Things you'll need:
1) SD card with a folder called apps on its root.
2) Trucha Bug Restorer.
3) If your Wii does not have internet, you will need to create the necessary wad files on the root of your SD (these are merely the files your Wii would normally download if it has an internet connection. Create them here!
Steps:
?Extract the files from the downloaded Trucha Bug Restorer zip.
?Copy the TBR folder to the apps folder on your SD card.
?Start HBC
?Load TBR
?Use IOS 36 to downgrade 15. << Watch Video. See note if you don't have a network connection!
?Use 15 to patch 36. << Watch video. See note if you don't have a network connection!
?And use 36 to restore 15. << Watch video. See note if you don't have a network connection!
Video: YouTube - Det1re's "How To use Trucha Bug Restorer (TBR)"

Now that you have patched IOS 36, you can install newer cIOS and PreLoader.
Note: If you do not have a network connection, select wad installation where the video says network install. The files you created earlier will need to be on the root of your SD card.

cIOS38_rev14: download cIOS38 rev14 (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=6531) cIOS38_rev14 in place of cIOS38_rev13a & i used options b) Network Installation: At the instillation option screen press RIGHT 1 time on the D-pad of the Wiimote. This will download the files via WiFi.

cMIOS: to install the cMIOS files i also used options b) Network Installation:

Thank you.
Have 2 wiis (dont ask why, please). One with 4.0, which I successfully softmodded one with 3.4U, which I will try this softmod on.

For those with 002 error, disable wiiconnect, and make sure you scrubb the DVDs before you burn them, Google "Error 002 Fix", and download files, its fairly simple to do.

This soft mod is for V4 and uses the bannerbomb crack upgrading to V4 is not recommended(only by me) this has been tested on V4 and works but this is a little more detailed than the Soft mod for dummies in the sense that if the aad1f_v108 file does not work you have to go to the site (link supplied) and get a different version other than that its fairly ok. Follow the tut in the doc. file exactly and you should be fine. This is for versions 4 wii's

is there any way to reset the wii and re patch it?

guide worked fine on a v4.1 wii , it has installed the back up installer etc , also used the dummies one for a 3.4 wii

only prob now is the 3.4 wii plays the games the 4.1 doesnt just stuggles to read the disc , do you think this is console related or is there something missing ,

thanks

ok guys heres my experience of using this mod on 4.1. I followed the instructions right down to the very last letter and everything seemed to install perfecrly fine-everything went through just as it should (using network installation over wi-fi). I then burnt an iso of a game i already own (mario kart) and put the disc in. The wii recognises the game in the home menu, however when i enter the game i get a disc error and am asked to turn the computer off and eject the disc. anyone point out where im going wrong?

hi, have a wii with twilight hack, old wiifree installed but not working on newer games. installed this and works great with a few games. tried it with indi jones and stff kngs, just get a green screen. were the game icon usually appears in top left icon, it says wii system update. i have wiiconnect turned off. i thought i would be able to play the game?

hi, had posted this a few weeks ago. what to do when wanting to play newer games. s.ummer athl.etics 0.9 wont work either, the usual game icon in top left has system update in it. does wii launcher channel work if the wii is updated to latest firmware, even though the hack as been installed. thanks

the game updated my wii when i put it in so will this have updated it to version 4.1 or 4.2 and if so if i do a v4 wii softmod and then put super mario bros pal game in will this rectify the problem?

Thanks will try this. Will be good to remove the Discs from around the Wii. Have removed all my film DVDs to a media streamer, so removing the Wii discs will mean that the TV area will be very clean and hopefully pass the wife test.

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this thread and I'm interested in modding my wii. I downloaded the rar, extracted it, ran install.bat with the correct drive letter, and followed the instructions for the wii portion. When I click on SD Card from the Wii channel menu, nothing happens (i.e. it doesn't ask me to load from boot.dol). My version is 4.2U. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

That worked great many thanks for that mate, I had bounced around a few forums and the general talk was dont upgrade to 4.2 but that has worked just fine.

Could I ask you a question as you clearly are in the know. I have now put usb loader gx on with the homebrew but it has to run from the sd is there a version that installs as a channel?
