Rebooter stopped working

[the_importer]

Try to run Bushing's Title Lister.  I'm not sure, but I'm hoping that it outputs the data to your SD card.   If it does, please post the file here.

EDIT:  Sorry, but now that I think about it, tell me if it lists an IOS51 as being present.

Homebrew Channel is not seeing this. I placed in in my apps folder, was I suppose to put it somewhere else?

You need to rename the 'title_lister.elf' file to 'boot.elf'.  Also, what version of the Homebrew Channel do you have?  If it is Beta 9 or higher, you will need to convert the ELF file to DOL format.  You can do so by using the following program...

Super Simple Elf2Dol converter for Hombrew Channel beta9

By the way, if this works for you, you will see something like this...

Title=1-24 (IOS36) vers: 4.18 (1042)

If you are unable to output the information to an SD card, and you have IOS36, tell me what the number in bold is for you.

This is what I did



and I got a "This is not a valid Wii application" error.

Is this app available via the Homebrew Browser?


This is the info on the Homebrew Channel:

1.0.1
ISO36 v12.18

u have to convert the boot.elf to boot.dol, just search elf to dol converter in wiibrew.

Cool, it works now, sort of, I think. It displayed 75 lines of items, but I have no clue what to do with it.

Look for the following (IOS36 line), and tell me what the number in bold is...

Title=1-24 (IOS36) vers: 4.18 (1042)

Also, did it create a file on your SD card?

Nothing was created on my SD Card.

I don't know if it created one or not, but I have all I need...

3090 = c12 in hexadecimal

I don't know how, but yes, you do have '3.3V2' or higher.

Well like I stated, I didn't install it, so that leaves either Super Paper Mario or Bomberman Blast. One of these games forced an installation of 3.3v2 on my system. Why would a game that was released prior to this firmware update or a non-Nintendo game would do that however is beyond me.

In either case, how risky is doing a firmware downgrade anyway? I already have my SSBB file saved on my SD card and that's the game for which I would hate having to restart all over.

Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem with GeckoOS rebooter not working. Homebrew Channel says that I'm using IOS36 v12.18.

I'm pretty sure that my Wii was (still is?) at firmware 3.3Ev1 because the Wii Shop Channel offered me to update the system before it could be accessed. Instead I ran Tona's version of Wii Shop and IOS51 install from Wiibrew.org and bought Bomberman Blast, World of Goo and the Internet Channel.

Today I tried to get GeckoOS to work but got the Error Loading Menu thing.

So the Bomberman Blast might be the culprit in this case. Or maybe the Wii Shop installer did affect GeckoOS in a way I did not think it would. I'm still very new to Wii tweaking and a bit confused about all the IOSes and their versions, so I would very grateful if someone with better understanding can explain should the GeckoOS work with Wiibrew's shop installer.

I have installed Wiibrew's Shop Installer and I can still use the rebooter so it's probably a wiiware game.

Thanks, I didn't realize that wiiware could also give me unwanted updates. I do want to keep buying games from the wii shop but I also want to be able to run homebrew. Maybe sticking to 3.3v2 is the option with the least amount of hassle right now? Although I will scan the forum posts more thoroughly from now on before buying anything so I don't end up with 3.4... :)

I say it's Bomberman  :mad: !!!

I reverted back to 3.3v1 by using "October 23rd Wii Fix" from GBAtemp. Everything went smoothly and I am now able to use the rebooter, shop channel and all my bought wiiware (even Bomberman!) still works. Homebrew now says that I'm using IOS36 v4.18. On the contrary to the guide I did install the shop channel and skipped the installation of wad manager & gator.

What Nintendo did was patch the ability to allow coders to identify as an other title, in rebooter's case it identifies as the system menu then jumps to it. Nintendo patched up every IOS on the Wii with the online update. As IOS16 is not an IOS that is on the system or used in games, they didn't include this.

However next update, Nintendo will more than 100% likely place an IOS of 16 on your system, so even that can't be used.

Rebooter isn't needed for gecko 2.0 anyway, as i worked out the compatibility issues with the press a mode, and this doesn't depend on an exploit it just uses Nintendos own code and they can't patch it out as its needed by many retail games., so even without rebooter you will be ok if you have updated to 3.4 and want to boot games like red steel and other titles which had problems.

i would avoid updating though, as there are no benefits to it, and we can always install IOS files needed for games as they are officially signed by Nintendo.
