Right you have homebrew channel, fine, now format your SD card and go onto stage 2,complete4_2.zip extract the folders to your SD card, look something like this,

apps (5 folders inside this one)
wad (7 wad files inside this)
IOS15-64-v257.wad
IOS15-64-v523.wad
IOS15-64-v3351.wad

1. Load Trucha Bug Restorer. Press B to choose No IOS Reload. Wait a few seconds and then press 1 to continue. Choose Downgrade IOS15. When prompted, choose load IOS from SD and press A to continue, follow the prompts and exit when finished.

2. Load Trucha Bug restorer again and this time press left on the Wii remote until you select IOS15 and Press A. Wait a few seconds and press 1. Choose IOS36 menu. Copy the settings so they are exactly as listed below:

If at this point you get a DSI stack error, try powering down your Wii completly and then turning it back on and carrying on from step 4.

oldman nothing will work until you manipulate the IOS's on your wii.. .. getting hombrew channel is only the start of softmodding on 4.2.... older FWs work different.. youve prob got an older FW guide

follow dell_xps guide above and it will work for 4.2 with HB chanl.. thats the exact guide I used and the only one that worked for me.. I was having the same probs as you thinking once the HB chnl was installed that was me ready for backups.. you have to follow THAT EXACT guide above and it will work then you can install wads and the backup launcher chnl through Homebrew

complete4_2.zip where is this do i have to d/load it and if so where from, cheers for the walkthrew guys.

[Sirus]

Well theres a hack method that cgscott has uploaded in the download section or on page 1 of this thread... or if your sticking with the dell_xps guide then this is the same guide and page where I got my stuff from(its identical to dell_xps guide so dont worry)

Id recommend this as it worked for me no probs.. can be abit long and nerve wrecking though

HOWTO: Setup a System Menu 4.2 Wii for playing backups of commercial games with uLoader Ade's Softmodding Wii blog

Once you have this up and running you can get additional wads like Backup launcher and put them on the SD and install them using wad manager
