I also tried loading the backups with the Uloader but still thesame thing happens.

I have my Wii since 2008 so from what i've read, i should have the older drives.

I supposed i can try running it from my thumbdrive, but my problem is the file is compressed in .daa format does anyone knows if this is supported at all?

Thanks in Advance.

The .daa is a power ISO image file. Use this guide HERE to convert it to an ISO file. From there you should beable to do more with it.

Those of you saying you don't have an option to backup NAND. If you have Bootmii installed then you have an option to backup the NAND! Follow the Bootmii section of the guide. Everything you need to know is there in it! READ!!!!!

Those that are asking if you have to run DOP-IOS. I would suggest running it. This will install the newest revision IOS's and install IOS that you may not have. This should avoid most update propts and black screens when attempting to start a game.

The section wouldn't be in the guide if I felt it wasn't a necessary step to softmodding.

Hi guys ! I just joined cause i have a problem with the 4.2 softmod.
i have a new console (LU70) updated to 4.2U. I did the SD card prep as described in the tut, all files and folders are there . I put the card in the console , then click the SD card icon , and click yes to ;"Load Boot dol/elf?". Then the screen goes blank and the drive starts to flash and the console Freezes ! i have to unplug it to use it again .
Also the apps folder is empty after this happens . You should also know that the homebrew channel is already installed from another site.(before i found you guy). theirs dont finish the install. I can't backup my nand.

Thanks in advance for your help

---

did you install bootmii as an ios or as Boot2? The reason i'm asking is because if you install as Boot2 it won't give you the option to backup your nand. at least i can't find a way to backup the nand on my wii.

---

NVM, I will try the steps in the guide before I ask anymore questions :)

Hi Larry,

In the part where you say:

"ALL SYSTEMS/SERIAL # CAN USE DOP-IOS. THOSE WITH LU64, LEH250 OR LAH113 AND ABOVE CAN USE THIS APPLICATION. DO NOT DOWNGRADE ANY IOS OR FIRMWARE. INSTALL & PATCH THE LATEST IOS REVISION AVAILABLE INSTEAD OF DOWNGRADING TO A LOWER REVISION. DOWNGRADING TO A LOWER REVISION MAY BRICK YOUR SYSTEM!"

The next two wiis i'm attempting are leh183 and leh153.
Am I correct in saying that that these are below leh250 and so I can still follow your DOP-IOS guide exactly to the letter???

Also....
I have successfully done my own Wii but now need to install Priiloader as was unable to do Boot2. I've read somewhere that I shouldn't do this as I've modified some ios (just the ones in your instructions).
Can I safely install priiloader?

Sorry if these are stupid questions but it's one thing to brick my own Wii but another to brick someone elses.

Thanks

First i would like to say HI :) and thx Larry for this guide

i am following the guide here but i seem to have a problem here
Launch the HBC and load the cIOS 222 installer.
Select IOS249 to perform the install
This time select Custom IOS 223 and select IOS38 merged with IOS60.
Make sure you get installation complete. If you do not and get an error then rerun this step again.

i only have the options as follows
USE IOS 38
USE IOS 38 MERGED WITH IOS37
USE IOS 38 MERGED WITH IOS68

Can i just start again? or do i run the risk of bricking my wii? The wii is a latest uk model if that helps

any ideas??? thx in advance

EVERYONE CAN BACKUP NAND!

Read the F-IN guide PEOPLE!

If you can't install Bootmii to Boot2 then install it as an IOS.
As well the directions to backup NAND is given for both Bootmii installed as Boot2 and those that had to install it as an IOS!

I don't care if I sound rude or not. But newb or not you should be able to read a guide and follow it!

Ok, maybe we are just missing something on the screen;
Ok, lets try this. In the Guide it says;
Guide: Bootmii as IOS will boot from Homebrew Channel Home screen;

Now what do you mean by this? On the HBC home screen there is nothing that asks me if I want to load Bootmii


The next step in guide is;
Navigate using Game Cube Controller. If you do not have a Game Cube Controller then try using power/reset buttons to navigate the Bootmii menu.

There is nothing for us to navigate in because this part is nor happening "Bootmii as IOS will NOT boot from Homebrew Channel Home screen";

Larry, what do you think is wrong? I hope you understand now what we are trying to tell you. Can someone maybe explain what I am missing here calmly please.

I;m going to see if I can upload some pictures of what my menus look like

Home Screen as in press the HOME button when in Homebrew Channel. Then the menu comes up with the Bootmii in that list.
