All The Links Are AT The Bottom

PART A: The extermination of the evil stub ios249

Ok, so N did this update and thos ppl knew that we use ios249 to isntall our cios and place our backups. What did they do? they invented an empty ios ("stub") and place it in slot 249, to stop us. Like they will! Muhahahaha. Here is what we do about it. We will uninstall ios249 stub, and then isntall our own cios38rev14 in slot 249:

A1)GET PACK 1 or GET PACK 2 or GET PACK 3 (pick start with the first one, if you get an error pick the next one and follow instructions from B2 and on again. One of this will do the trick without an error)

A2)Place the contents of the included folder in the SD card root (only contents should be in the SD root,everything else that you want to keep must be backed up on PC and the card formatted with FAT32)

A3)Place the SD card in the wii, start HBC and press home ar the main HBC screen. (If your wii boots to Bootmii, just go to B5)

A4)Select bootmii and wait.

A5)Wadmanager should start.(On ios select, select ios36, or try a few, 249, 250 dunno,we are scratching our heads with this)!!

A6)Select SD card and press A to continue.

A7)Select ios249 from wad folder and press A

A8)change the action to "uninstall wad", press A

A9)Done!! now to the next step!!





PART B: The installation of our beloved cios38rev14

Now that we deleted the stupid stub, the place is free so thet we can isntall cios!


B1)NOW GET PACK 4 or PACK 5 (pls report which one is working)

B2)Download the file above and place the contents of the "Place to SD 2" folder in the SD card (should only contain the

included files,)

B3)Place the SD card in the wii, start HBC and press home ar the main HBC screen. (If your wii boots to Bootmii, just go to C5)

B4)Select bootmii and wait.

B5)cios38rev14 installer should run and give you some options.

B6)At the beginning you should see ios249 highlighted. Keep pressing left on the wii pad until you see "Do not reload IOS" at the ios select screen, press A. (for some reason that neither I nor the other follows here seem to understand, this does not work for everyone. If this fails, try again using 249, 250, 222, 223, 36, 37... and others. Switching to one of these may work for you. be sure to restart your wii after each attempt)

B7)If you have internet connection
, select "Network install", else select "SD card", Press A.

B8)Proceed with the installation, and you are done.


You should have ios249rev14 isntalled, which will allow you to run any Backup loader or USB laoder!
