4.2 Firmware Softmod Guide - All Systems Except For Korean

That was weird. The default program that opened the zip file did not see the folders just the boot file. I opened the zip up with IZArc and it see all files and folders. Man, was I starting to pull my hair out. I knew it was going to simple.

Thanks Alot. I haven't said it yet but this is a great place with great people.

Thanks Again
Jim

 

Now go to IOS222 and press A. It will ask if you are sure you want to delete it. Press A for YES.

Now go to IOS223 and press A. It will ask if you are sure you want to delete it. Press A for YES.

Now go to IOS249 and press A. It will ask if you are sure you want to delete it. Press A for YES.

Now go to IOS250 and press A. It will ask if you are sure you want to delete it. Press A for YES.

After you delete all 4 titles from the system exit by pressing home.

hi...problem when i get to this part, every time i press a message on screen say,s "error ticket delete failed, no ticket?" any idea,s? thx

 

Thanks a bunch Larry, you're really helpful.
I'm not asking you to make me understand the in's and out's of DOP-IOS, I understand that I'm an inferior life form to you and I'll never understand it but I would like an answer to my question about the safety of doing the two serials I posted above so if anyone else except our lord and saviour knows can they please share?
I'd really like to know this before I begin.
Your guide is very simple and very step by step so anyone who has a question will most likely have a "Stupid" question....If that frustrates you so much then close the thread.

 

You forgot to bow in my presence.

Do you really need me to confirm for you that leh183 and leh153 are below leh250?

As to closing the thread. If my replies to your questions bother you so much then why not find another guide. I am sure most that use this guide would rather see your sorry a$$ go rather then the guide.

UPDATE: I updated the guide and took out the Serial# crap on DOP-IOS. Just install the latest revisions of IOS on all systems. Don't downgrade any IOS or Firmware. Have to make it simple for those that can't get a grasp on the different serial# systems.

 

hi larry, any idea,s to my problem above mate? thx

 

yo larry

thanks for the guide! Helping me and I did reinstall HBC and it works. I just wanted to say thanks a bunch and keep up the good work

 

Try redownloading the WAD files again using NUS (like you did at the start). Then redo the DOWNGRADE IOS15, PATCH IOS36 and RESTORE IOS15 again (make sure you do not get any errors). Then try doing the AnyTitleDeleter again.

 

If i did Redo the softmod from the beginning Larry would that run the risk of bricking my wii?

3rd time lucky lol, cant understand everyone,s problem,s, installed a treat....can i delete everything off the memory card (already have) or do i need the file,s on the card (i have backed them up) many thank,s.

 

Hi there,

I just reinstalled everything and it seems to work properly. I'll test it with a backup and I'll let you know how things work out. Thanks for your work, man!

 

Dear Larry,
Getting back to you to let you know that everything has worked out just fine! I tried to play NfS Nitro from a USB device and it works great! Thanks again for your great work!

Greeting from the Netherlands!!!

 

I installed bootmii as an ISO. When I launch it, it gives me a black screen and the wii's drive just flashes. I cannot get out of this screen unless I unplug the wii. I want to make sure and back up my nand as I've read that you could end up with a bricked wii in the future. I'm new at this so I really appreciate the guide and the help.

 

Try reinstalling homebrew channel and bootmii again.

 

I tried that but I still get the same thing. I'm wondering if the fact that I skipped this step because I didn't understand it, and went on to all of the other steps might have caused this problem. Can I undo anything to get me to a point where I can try it all over again?

 

You can install Bootmii before or after the softmod. It isn't going to make a difference (I just recommend doing it prior to softmodding incase you brick).

Make sure you have the Bootmii folder on your SD Card (with 3 files inside that).

If you don't then run the HBC/Bootmii installer again and choose Prepare SD card and do not delete the folder.

If you have the folder on the SD card then you may have an uncomaptibilr SD card and will need to use another.

 

Hi - Didnt now where to post this, but I have a question regarding WADS.

BTW: Followed all of your steps and it worked GREAT!! THANKS!!

Can you expalin to me how I can put in more WADS? I put the "free region" wads in the wad folder on the SD card.

I have the WAD manager and it is asking me what IOS to use, What should I use??? 249?...

Thanks again!!!

Started with 4.2U GUI

 

every thing work,s a treat, running "silent hill, zelda & conduit" all off a usb stick no prob,s at all....10/10 for your effort,s.....g

 

Yeah, the folder is on the card and it does contain 3 files. Any other suggestions I'd hate to not have a backup. By the way the rest of the install went smoothly except this part.
