Are these the proper steps for region change? I haven't been keeping myself updated with the homebrew scene and unsure this is the proper way or up to date way for regionchanging, I have read a few different methods but this seems like the easiest method. I currently have a 4.1j softmodded wii with bootmii and want to change it to 4.1u (I should have done this along time ago when it first came on the scene but was afraid to make the jump because of bricking my wii). When i do regionchange, does the wii shopping channel change too or do i have to update the channel with the proper U.S version? Thank you for your time in reading my post.

Region Change any Wii to 4.1
USA, Euro, Jap, and Korean
Works with all wiis
Works with 4.2 wiis also, even the black ones.
Warning 4.3 wii, if you follow a guide other than my guide to softmod your wii, you need to remove the stubbed ios70. This is very important, simply install cIOS70-v6174.zip with a wadmanger
Requirments-
1 wii needing another region
Needs a patched cios with ES-Identify and Trucha
A patched ios36/236 or wani's/herem's cios-base38 will work
Read- Softmod ANY wii if needed
Wii Shop Channel users- If you use the wii shop channel and intend to change the region, you must first go into the wii shop and delete your shop account prior to the region change. If you do not wish to delete your shop account you can not change the region of the shop channel, in this case leave the shop channel setting set to your current region in ARC mod6. If you do not delete the shop acount, you will be unable to access it following the region change of the shop settings.

WARNING: If you loss power, or pull the plug, your wii will probably brick
WARNING: It is probably a very bad idea to change a non-Korean wii to the Korean region(?)
WARNING: Modchip users will need to reconfigure the region settings of their modchip, otherwise disks will not load from the disk channel.
