    Letterbomb, nothing happens after valid image detected

    So after i clicked on the letterbomb message, it loads all those texts and when it gets to valid elf image detected it just freezes and nothing happens. I waited for 1 hour in case its just slow at processing the files and i tried it a couple of times, but it still doesn't go beyond this point. Wii version 4.3E sd card 2gb formatted to fat32. So what is wrong?

    Welcome to DK.

    Thats a strange one. When you added your MAC address on the LetterBomb site 4.3E was selected at the top?

    All the files and folder from Letterbomb.zip must be extracted to a 2GB SD not SDHC card formatted to FAT32.

    Format the SD card again but do a full format not a quick one as as that will check the card for any errors. Then add all files and folder to the SD card. Put it back in the Wii and click on Messages and scroll back to the date you softmodded before the red envelope will always be there, and try it again.

    The only other thing is do you have a good WiFi or cable connection to your Wii, test it in Wii Options. Or the files are corrupted on download, download Letterbomb.zip again.

    If it works then do all 3 processes.

    1) Install Homebrew.
    2) Install BootMii on IOS.
    3) Prepare SD card - this makes a [bootmi] folder on the SD card so you can do the NAND backup. Now this part everyone misses.

    When you exit Hombrew select Launch BootMii and do a NAND backup. The Wiimote won't work in here you have to use the Power button to move along each icon and the Reset button selects it. Press the Power button until the Gear icon on the right is selected then press the Reset button. On the next screen the first icon is the NAND backup press the Reset button and just let it do its own thing. This can take 20 minutes to complete. Once completed back out to the Wii menu using the Power and Reset buttons. Move along to the right icon and press Reset. On the next screen the first icon is the Wii menu. Then remove the SD card can copy the [bootmii] folder and keys.bin and nand.bin to somewhere very safe. That folder and those 2 files will be needed if you cock up have have to restore you Wii close to standard.

        You don't download BootMii boot2 or IOS Homebrew decides to install on boot2 or IOS depending on you system, on a 4.3 it will always go on IOS.

        Providing you did a NAND backup straight afterwards and you now have Priiloader 0.7 installed you should be able to restore the NAND if you cock anything up.
