Hi. New here. I'm trying to do all this, and can't get it to work. I have System Menu 4.2U, updated by network download (before I even tried homebrew), and my Homebrew channel (Bannerbomb install) says its using IOS61 v21.29. I went into AnyTitleDeleter ad it says that my currently loader IOS is 36. It also won't allow any IOS to be deleted, even the stubs. Every time I try the DopIOS Mod instructions for reapplying to Trucha Bug, it fails. How would I go about doing any of this? Do I need to do a downgrade for my system menu? Is it even possible for me?

ok im stuck at step 2 of the iso dop area it fails every time im on menu 4.2 with boot2v4 any ideas? please email me at jenson611@yahoo.com

@Marcus - I have the same problem. I have System Menu 4.2E updated by network download and HBC IOS61 v21.29. I'm not sure the TBPart 1 is working for me. I get the error in bullet 8 of TBPart2. It get the same message as Pier Olivier said on Jan 10. So I don't think the ISO15 downgrade works.

@Marcus - An update for you. I went back to TBPart1 and in steps 6 & 7 I loaded from NUS instead of SDCARD. TBPart2 I loaded from NUS also. I didn't get the errors you and I had before. Maybe this will work for you as well. Gonna keep going now and see if the next step works.

Well, I found out (the hard way) that formatting the system memory doesn't reset the firmware. @moons33d - I'm going to try that out once I get the chance at let you know my results. (Not near a reliable connection right now. In-laws have a SLOW satellite setup.) Quick question about my system format though...will restoring the nand allow all my legal WiiWare and VC Games to be played again or will I have to go to the Wii Shop channel and redownload them all? (I didn't get rid of my Shop data, since I'm not getting rid of this Wii.)

Hi I need help im on wii v4.1 when i get to TB part 2 I get a message saying Es_addtitlestart returned:-2011
you need to use an ios with the trucha bug. that's what the ios15 is good for. ios36 install failed. What do i need to do?

ok so some how i figured it out.!!!!

Sorry but i don't know how to use anytitle deleter MOD. what ios am i supposed to "use"? (the first interaction by user)
btw, when i selected what is the default, 249, the software seemed to freeze.

And before you say it, I have no clue what NUS is or how to use it. I have been reading tutorials and the Noob page all day before I started and I think if I can get passed this I will be good. My Firmware is 4.2U

Thanks for any ideas or help and if NUS is my only option then please tell me how to use it....

There doesn't seem to be much help coming from people on here for 4.2 lately
If we can help drop by
http://wiihackingcommunity.freeforums.org/index.php
There is almost always someone online to help.
4.1 myself so I cant help much with 4.2

Yeah. It keeps giving me an error whenever I try to delete the stubbed IOSs in both the Dop-IOS MOD and AnyTitle Deleter....I've come so far, can't anyone help me? For reference, my Wii is V4.2U.

@Jason: If you are on stock 4.2 firmware, you need to patch IOS36. Follow the 3 steps at the top for restoring the trucha bug.

@antigravity99: NUS is Nintendo Update Server. Basically its a server full of unpacked wads that Nintendo uses for official updates.

Try this: Repeat the steps above for restoring the trucha bug, but instead of selecting <Load IOS from SD Card>, press right on the d-pad to change it to <Load IOS from NUS>. DOP-IOS will go out to Nintendo and download the IOSes it needs. You obviously need to have Wi-fi on your wii for it to work.

I found a thread from wiihack which has a video for restoring Trucha bug using Trucha bug restorer. Is it okay to put the link to the thread here?

well...to be safe, this is the link from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltrd3oq8hPc

Hi, I am on version 4.1U, I followed all the instructions on this page and everything works fine.
However I had to use the TBR (Trucha Bug Restorer) instead of Dop_IOS Mod to avoid
the common problem of the "Could not open file: sd:/IOS36-64-v3351.wad.out.wad".
I also installed USB Loader_GX r904 as a channel which also works fine.
Thanks to all of you guys. You are great!!!

Now I want to use Dop_IOS Mod v11.5 to Dop my IOS60 to be able to read channels from the SD card and
this is where I hit a brick wall.
The actual version installed is 6174 and I want to stay on 4.01 so the v6174 wad is on my SD card.

When I try to Dop it I get the following prompts:
Using 6400 to downgrade to 6174
Getting IOS60 Revision 6400
<Download IOS from ...>

I read that the version 6400 is a stub and it will brick your Wii if you are on version 4.1
Is this a bug in Dop_IOS Mod v11.5
What would be the solution?

Thanks for any input. BM

My DOP-IOS did that too when I patched my IOS60 v6174.

On 4.2 wiis, it uses the stub wad it DLs to uninstall the stub, then installs v6174. Why it tries to do that on a 4.1 wii (where it's not stubbed to begin with) is beyond me. File a bug report on the DOP-IOS MOD site and see.

Oh, i forgot. That DOP-IOS MOD should be safe to use, even with that bug. I've used it twice myself and no bricks here.

Thanks techboy,
I also used Dop_IOS Mod v11.5 successfully to Dop other IOS's (37-38-53-55&56), I am just afraid to continue on with IOS60!
I will file a bug report on the DOP-IOS MOD site as you suggested.
BM

Everything was moving along beautifully until I started the IOS Installation/Patching/Upgrading. I have 4.0U so I selected IOS60 v6174. After the download had completed, it started "Installing to Title 00000001-00000003c v6174." Then I received this message:

ES_AddContentStart (0000000100000003c, 0) Failed: -1017
install returned -1
installation complete!
ERROR: Something Failed. (ret: -1)
Continue?

If I hit continue, it will ask me if I'm sure I want to continue, and if I do, I just end up back at the IOS selection. If I don't continue, it kicks me out to the main page of Homebrew. Can someone please help me?

Hey guys,

so i did all of these steps correctly. i get to the part where i need to install/patch/upgrade, and i don't know what to do, its not very clear in this tut. so ya. i is lost now.

@mtello52, upgrading to 4.2 makes life annoying, yes, but it's still possible to get this done. You could try out DOP-Mii, the newly renamed latest version of dop-IOS MOD which you can get from here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/DOP-Mii

worked great for me..

cheers mtello, ill give it a try when i get home, is it very different to using the dop-IOS MOD? can i use the same instructions?

do i need an active wifi connection to complete this process?
My understanding is that i have downloaded the files required so i dont need to connect to the nintendo update server?

yeah i didnt do all three parts of step 5 it happened in one step i lunched dop mii press A and choose Install IOS36 (v3351) w/FakeSign and follow the instructions THEN for step 6 follow..

This is a very simple process.

1) Start DOP-Mii via Homebrew Channel and press A to continue.

2) Choose the first option (IOS: 36) by pressing A. You will see another menu, where you also have to choose the first option (IOS, BC, MIOS).

3) In the new IOSs menu, go to one of the stub IOSs that is installed (you can see that on the right under "currently installed', as it will show "(STUB)" then).
If you found a stub IOS you want to uninstall, press - (minus), then A to confirm.

Usually, people uninstall IOS202,222,223,249 and 250 if these are stubs.

And step 7 do as the guide says i had wifi but if u have all files it should work.

awesome, thanks for all the help.

ill post in a few hours to let you know how i got on.

Hows yours going?

do i just extract the contents of the new dop-mii to my sd card?

i deleted dop-ios mod from my apps folder and copy the new DOP-Mii to apps folder and copy config folder to the root o f ur sd card.

Hmmm... Any reason why mtellos account has been deleted? He hasn't pointed me in the wrong direction has he?

The accounts aren't directly related with this wiki, and he was not deleted for any actions on this wiki. He may have deleted the account himself. He has not led you wrong, as the information he gave you originally came from me.

@Sam d...as haruspex said i didnt gave u wrong direction..and hows ur hacking going cuz mines went great thanks to haruspex.

me too! sorry for doubting u but if the bricking of my wii is at stake... by the way, now that i have the hack successfully completed, when i try to run a game i own it asks me to update my wii? should i do this?

@Sam_d, The disc updates are, the majority of the time, only specific IOS upgrades. The disc is rarely actually caring about what System Menu you are on and really just wants you to update a specific IOS. For example, IOS56 needs to be upgraded for Rock Band. Usually a Google search or a visit to http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showforum=104 will help you determine which IOS needs to be upgraded.

You will upgrade these IOS files using http://wiibrew.org/wiki/DOP-Mii

You can also install Preloader or Priiloader to block future disc channel updates: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader or http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/Priiloader
