has anyone ever had the homebrew channel installed upside down. i just did my friends wii and the hombrew channel is totally upside down and backwards up is down and down is up, this is only true fo the homebrew channel. i have done like 6 wii's and never seen this before.
Now when I tried to reinstall it (using the directions in the guide - i.e., get to the SD card menu, and then insert the SD card, and load the boot files from it), i get the following error message:
HackMii installer v0.6
This installer can NOT continue!
There is no known vulnerable IOS installed on this Wii.
Please note that we will not use a fakesigned IOS due to security reasons.
Look for updated version at:
http://bootmii.org
If this is already the latest version...well,suck it.
What can i do to correct this?
thanks in advance -- Punda

Well, Larry, thanks for a very informative guide. i have a 3.4U system, and followed the guide to the letter, successfully installing the HBC. I have not yet tried to play a burned DVD though. However, the HBC turned upside down during part of the installation. Following suggestions in this thread, I removed it from the Wii Channels.

Why does the guide say we can't use micro SD card adapters? I'm about to upgrade to 4.1 and before in softmodding my wii I used an micro adapter and had no problems. What's the big deal?
So lets leave it at that and leave future post to more important questions/issues and answers.

Larry, please how can I run DOP-IOS without the HBC ..as it is, the HBC is not even showing -- it is no longer in my Wii Channels, and trying to install it again produces the error above. Is there an alternative way of running the IOS files? I will go back and read the guide again..just in case I missed it...
thanks - Punda

Drag the boot.elf that is at the root of the SD card to your PC (Make sure it was transfered to your PC) then delete it from the SD card.
Now on the SD card go to the apps>hbc_dopios_v8 folder and COPY the boot.elf from that directory to the root of the SD card (Make sure you copy it so it stays in the hbc_dopios_v8 folder as well).
Now follow the instructions as you would to boot the hackmii installer. This should boot DOP-IOS so you can install IOS36 without the sig/hash Identify patch.
After you install IOS36 without the patches then you can delete the boot.elf from the root of the SD Card and drag the boot.elf (hackmii installer that you draged to the PC) back to the root of the SD card.
Now run the hackmii installer again. After installing HBC run DOP-IOS again and patch IOS36 again like it previously was.

i already have a softmodded wii on 3.1e with homebrew channel installed and ciso rev13. can i just use the 4.1 updater to get to 4.1 system menu or do i need to go through all the steps in the tut or is that just to softmod a 4.1 wii.thanks.............sudeki300
4.0 first, then 4.1.These custom firmwares should update your system leaving all your cIOSs and homebrew apps intact.
I did the tutorial and after that i discovered that my wii 3.4E is half bricked.
I've downloaded the waninkoko's "Wii Config" to set up my wireless connection but it did not appear in the HBC. I did put both .dol and .elf files in Apps folder.
What can i do to fix it?

As for setting up the application for HBC to find it you need a folder inside the apps folder then the dol/elf file inside that (Example apps/application folder/boot.dol/boot.elf).
