Soft Modding Nintendo Wii - Letterbomb Problem

[deadwardgaming]

So a while ago, i letterbombed my Wii, and tbh i dont actually know what i did, because all i was actually doing was installing 'Riivolution' to play custom Mario Kart tracks. I recently discovered though that you could easily 'SoftMod' your Wii and play games you download *cough* illegally *cough* using WiiFlow.
So on my SD, i had a bunch of folders, 'private' 'apps' 'riivolution' and 'boot.elf'. And everything worked swimmingly for what i wanted it to do. Until recently when i tried to install Homebrew etcetc (however, i dont understand how i couldnt have installed Homebrew when i letterbombed it the first time), so instead of wiping my SD, i just continued with all the other folders installed. So the first guy who i follow his advice from told me install 'ios6' and 'ios7' etc etc and a bunch of other stuff. But it was all wierd and made no sense so i decided to stop and look for an easier tutorial. So i looked on YouTube and found this guy 'supersprudle4427 - YouTube', and he explained everything really well. So i decided to wipe my SD card for a fresh easy start so it would all work swimmingly.
So i thought i should put 'Letterbomb' back onto my SD so i could reinstall 'BootMii' (because at this point my Wii was spazzing out and i wanted to install other stuff like 'PriiLoader' etc) and 'Homebrew' so all the files are on my SD and fully working, and so i did. That was yesterday now, and when i tried to exploit it, whenever i click on the 'Letterbomb' in Messages, it stops working COMPLETELY, it just pauses on the Letterbomb for what seems like forever. And i really REALLY want it to work, but it isnt and its being spazzy as hell. So i have downloaded 'Letterbomb', done everything right, the MAC code is perfect etc etc, and because it says on other websites to have the 'HackMii Installer Downloaded', i have, and i have put it on the root of my SD like so:
private
licenses
wiiload
boot.elf
bootmini.elf

However i dont know if this is right and actually gonna work, because i have tried SOOOOO many combinations, with just 'private' and 'boot.elf' and other stuff.
So please help guys, i want my Wii to work how it should and it isnt DX

I don't know where you downloaded LetterBomb from but there is only boot.elf a private folder and 6 txt files. You only need boot.elf and all the private folders on a 2GB SD card not SDHC. LetterBomb only works with a Wii 4.3 so if it isn't 4.3 so if it isn't then do a system update. Make sure the correct system is selected 4.3U, 4.3E, 4.3J or 4.3K.

I softmodded a 4.2E last weekend I did a system update to 4.3 and everything installed perfectly with LetterBomb with and it did a NAND backup because I Prepared SD card as the 3rd option which puts the BootMii folder on the SD card.

When you click on the red envelope it does take a while to load after you wait for the disclaimer to finish.

So I can see what's on your system post a sysCheck19 report as instructed I that link so I can see which IOS's you've installed.

God I hate this forum since I was updated I don't know why I bother posting any more. You press keys and nothing shows, you can't paste using Ctrl+V. None of the other 50 forums I use does this.

HI, sorry, i actually managed to fix it myself!
I used letterbomb, copied the 'private' and 'boot.elf', then downloaded the hackmii installer, copied the boot.elf across and tried again. for some reason it worked and now i am happy thanks for the help anyways, i dont actually understand why it didnt work before.

and to comment on what you said, when i have opened letter bomb before it has been instantaneous so it was a dead givaway that something was wrong when it didnt do anything. But meh, works naow, thanks anywyas!

and tbh, i dont actually know how to delete posts on this forum, afterall i am still a 'newbie'
