Which IOS do you choose at the 4.2 updater, no one ever specifies these things!

Wow, am I the only one who couldn't figure out to rename the firmware updater to boot.dol?

I know everyone will think I'm stupid but that took forever to figure out.

David Omar, i hate to say this but if ur wii fails to read ANY discs at all, theres a 99.99% chance its not homebrew or system menu related, and it is probable that the disc drive or the disc drive's laser is dead. If you have homebrew u wont be able to get it fixed by nintendo, i suggets investing in a small (80GB maybe) external usb hard drive and using a usb loader.

Hi guys,

I have updated my wii to v4.2J via Internet and now cannot load all the downloaded game. Can I follow the step to restore my wii ?

2009-10-14T06:10:25.901-07:00

Just a question regarding the new update? I got it installed and working without any issues but wanted to know will this block wii system updates from disc? I have toy story mania retail and it wants to update the system so just wanted to know if I could do this without a problem or should I just use neo gamma to lauch the game for now?

2009-10-06T12:59:22.086-07:00

Worked awesome! I was still on 3.4, and was afraid to update. Decided to take a risk and tried your guide. Wii is now successfully on 4.2 and all my Softmods are still in tact and working! :]

Thanks alot bro. :]

zeldas121314, it sounds like u have a semibrick, do some googling it should be fairly easy to fix.

2009-10-05T16:37:33.738-07:00

ok, so I tried to run the updater but I ran into two problems along the way. First off, I could never get the Dop-IOS to run. the wii said that the boot.dol file was unreadable. I tried to update to 4.0 but now I can't get any boot.dol's to run. Is there a way to start from scratch or at least from an earlier position? I feel like I've messed things up a little too much...

I cant run the firmware updater v4.2 because my wiis not connected to the internet, so i cant install it, and i cant get the internet because the wii settings wont even load, it just freezes...so im screwed

2009-10-05T10:57:42.029-07:00

heh TiMeBoMb, not to really push this fact but i told u there would be unforeseen problems with such a pointless update ;). My best guess is to try and reinstall some IOSs, the updater may have installed/overwritten one with code making it no longer work...

when I first noticed the problem I deleted it all together and downloaded the "easy installer from:
http://sites.google.com/site/usbloadergui/downloads

is that the correct place/version?
and the internal update says it's up to date

now it seems 1-2 games work every time and everything else just... doesn't.

2009-10-05T06:51:22.711-07:00

@Russel... Be sure you have the latest release of USBLoader GX. The built-in update feature is always a version, or two, behind the actual release. Mine seems to be working as it should.

to clarify: Usbloader GX will always boot up but now games on my HDD that have always worked will sometimes not load (screen goes black and wiimote turns off once you select to play them)

everything works after doing this except for Usbloader GX (which works sporadically).

is this just me or is something up?

@Matt... You don't have to have an unmodified version of IOS30, but you will need version 1040. I've updated my post, to include "Prerequisites" and a note on Step #1.

2009-10-03T23:49:58.287-07:00

You do NOT need to upgrade multiple times, 3.2->4,2 works in one step, but i highly recommend using system menu 4.1. It gives the bug fixes with wiimotion plus, and has the sd card menu loading support. System menu 4.2 only breaks a lot of homebrew and makes it harder to use (but it still works). Just use wani's 4.1 updater. Also if ur not interested in sd menu loading then theres really
