(Quick Note:: I have not tested this process with System Menu v3.4.  However, the attached video shows it working.  ALSO... The video performs a different step-by-step process.  You may want to READ EVERYTHING FIRST, before performing these steps!)

 

On October 23, 2008, Nintendo released a new firmware update (v3.3v2) and shortly after (v3.4), which, in turn, crippled most Homebrew installation capabilities.  Several days later, a "fix" tutorial was released to several online forums.  Below is a summarized tutorial, of these posts, which worked for me.

==================================================

 

 

I/WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY WII’S THAT GET BRICKED DURING THE PROCESS. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

 

STEP 01 - Let's assume, you have already updated your Wii to the latest firmware (v3.3v2 or v3.4).

STEP 02 - If you don't have it already, install "The Homebrew Channel" onto your Wii. 

          (For installation instructions, please visit the homepage here: http://hbc.hackmii.com)

STEP 03 - Add the contents, of the RAR file, onto the root your SD Card.

STEP 04 - Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "WAD Manager v1.3".

STEP 05 - Press "A" on the WiiMote once.

          The Wii should detect a SD Card.

          Press "A" again, to see a list of WADs on the SD Card.

          Use the "D-Pad", to select "IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad".

          Press "+" to install the WAD.

          Once installed, press the "Home" button, to restart you Wii. 

STEP 06 - Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "Custom WM IOS16"

          (This is the custom WAD Manager designed to work with IOS16.)

          Now, using the same method as in "Step 5", install the "cIOS_Fix.wad".

          Once installed, press the "Home" button, to restart you Wii.

STEP 07 - Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "IOS Downgrader".

          Don't worry, we're not really going to downgrade; we need this for "Step 08".

          Just follow the instructions, and wait until it finishes installing the necessary IOSs.

STEP 08 - Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "Install Shop IOS51".

          Use the "D-Pad" to select "Yes", and install "IOS51", by pressing "A".

          Use the "D-Pad" to select "Yes", and install the IOS Patch, by pressing "A".

          Use the "D-Pad" to select "No", and DO NOT install the "Wii Shop Channel".

          (It shouldn’t matter if you install "Wii Shop Channel", but it won’t make any difference,

          since this was installed in "Step 01".)

STEP 09 - Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "WAD Manager v1.3".

STEP 10 - You should now be able to install your favorite Homebrew WADs!

 

 

 

 

 OPTIONAL STEP

================

 

If you want to downgrade to the Wii Firmware v3.2X, perform the following.

Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "AnyRegion Changer" and perform the 3.2x downgrade.

Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "Install Shop IOS51".

Use the "D-Pad" to select "Yes", and install "IOS51", by pressing "A".

Use the "D-Pad" to select "Yes", and install the IOS Patch, by pressing "A".

Use the "D-Pad" to select "Yes", and install the "Wii Shop Channel".

(After a downgrade you need to install "Wii Shop Channel", or it will not work.)

 

 

MISSION COMPLETE!  Good Job Commander!  YEAH!
