Read whats written in here.

Have you done a NAND backup?

[CRITCHK]

Thanks so much for all your replies so far! Been a bit sickie so not feeling up to much. Going to try this weekend.

I have a 2GB SD card and have used the windows formatter so its blank now.

Had a look at my back up which I saved to my pc and I don't think I have all the correct files. I have the following:
bootmii folder
private folder
credits.txt
license.txt
readme-bootmil.txt
installer.log
nand.bin
readme-hbc.txt
boot.elf
keys.bin
readme.txt

Is that ok I don't want to start anything if I am not backed up ?

So to start I just need to put priiloader on my SD card.? Thanks for your time.

It's only the files that have changed everything else is still very relevant especially the order things are done in. Even with the files in the tut you will still be able to do a safe and successful softmod, it will just need a file update to run the newer games

Hi, sorry for jumping in someone else thread but could you please tell me what file do I need to update after following the 4.3mod of Ck ok? many thanks

If you use the tut from ck then you need to put "syscheck" into the apps folder on your sd (you can find it in the downloads section) then download modmii and run it on the pc and select update softmod, you will then be prompted for the file syscheck creates after you run it on the wii. Or you could just run modmii (it's in the downloads section) and select "w" which is the full softmod and tut which will download elk the latest files and write you a tut

What version is your Wii?

So you've already softmodded your Wii and done a NAND backup.

Those look like the softmod files and folders. You need to save the [bootmii] folder with its files along with nand.bin and keys.bin to a VERY safe place just in case you need to do a NAND restore.

You can then format the SD card FAT32 again and add an apps folder so you can add various apps you want to use. Put the PriLoader folder and the 3 files into the apps folder and run it from HBC.

You don't say if your going to use USB Loaders?

I have version 4.3e.

So I format my SD card, then make a new folder called apps.
Then put priloader in apps
Then put 3 files in apps. (which ones)
Then run from HBC

I want to use the USB loaders, but will look at that bit once priloader is sorted as don't want to brick anything!

There are 3 files in the priiloader folder boot.dol which runs the app, icon.png is the picture that shows in HBC, Meta.xml it the data file for priiloader.

Put the whole priiloader folder with the 3 files into the apps folder.

trying to install priloader via HBC and I can't seem to get it to work. I have the necessary files in my SD card in the apps folder. How do I install something via HBC what options buttons from the main menu please?

When PriiLoader install starts it says at the top it uses IOS58 do a sysCheck to see if thats installed.

Do you have hacks.ini on the SD root and hacks_hash.ini in the apps\priiloader folder?

No the only thing in the root is the apps folder.

in the apps folder is a prilloaderv0.7 plus hacks folder
in that is a priloaderv0.7 plus hack folder
in that is a priloader folder
in that is boot.dol, hacks.ini, icon.png and meta.xml files

I have just changed to a 1gb card as my 2gb one has gone missing.

So do I move the hacks.ini file to the root of the SD card
and where do I find the hacks_hash.ini?

only the priiloader folder with the boot.dol, hacks.ini, icon.png and meta.xml files should be in the apps folder you cant have a folder inside another folder or homebrew channel wont find it

[CRITCHK]

right so I guess I had to many priiloader folders.

Try again

On my Sd Card

I have a folder called Apps
inside is a folder called Prilloaderv0.7 plus hacks
inside are boot.dol hacks.ini icon.png and meta.xml files.

So is this all I need to install from HBC?

when I load HBC will what I need come up or do I have to got to a certain menu?
