System Menu 4.2 - DO NOT UPDATE!

[warioman77]

:mad: My brother updated the Wii  :mad: ..... Is it possible to update back to version 4.1 or something ???

no problem.
just use the latest HackMii installer to regain your homebrew stuff.
(don't forget the latest Bannerbomb)
(downgrading from 4.2 might cause a brick!!!)

hello im new to wiird and i was wondering some things......

i've seen apps that update the wii shop channel,and im wondering which/what is the SAFEST way to do it, and does it actually work?(i read in wiibrew that it ask more than the correct cIOS or whatever it is called)....im one of those people who bought the internet channel,and im not sure what should i do since they are giving me a NES game....it also doesnt help that they are making demos to wiiware

and on another note....i am on system 4.0,and due to that i believe i can't use rebooter(wiiware/virtual console cheat/hacking,the ssbb virtual console glitch,etc) right??what is the safest thing i can do to get this back???is it safe??and should i instal bootmii first??if i update to 4.2,will it delete HBC even if it is in the latest version??and what pros & cons does it have??any other info that i might need??

any help for this is greatly appreciated,and if this post doesnt belong here sorry for the inconvenience

With these new menu updates what would cause the block of the Nintendo gamecube action replay working on wii.When a new system menu is released it would be very helpful if people could let us know if it gets blocked.

What blocks the action reply is the Mios, you should be able to downgrade the mios to remove the block, but its been so long since i've used the action reply i can't remember which version you would need

Yeah, I wanted to play "The new super Mario brothers wii" and got a message that said "You cannot play this software without updating your system. I guess I should have done more research but when I saw codes for this game I  just figured someone had a workaround for update 4.2. After updating I can play the game but when I try to use codes through homebrew I now get "Disc error". So, what now? do I need to uninstall my homebrew channel before I reinstall bannerbom v2?

*facepalm*
first of all, I got the same game for christmas and had the same problem.
But I still didn't update to play the game. Instead, I just ran the latest gecko os which installs the necessary files to play the game WITHOUT updating.
The latest version is on this site. If homebrew channel still works, then you do not even need to install V2 of bannerbomb. If it doesn't work, then delete it like deleting channels regularly, NOT thru wad manager. Then install bannerbomb v2, and try to see if gecko os 1.9.3 still works. If not, you will have to downgrade to 3.2 firmware. Unfortunately, attempting this will only cause a brick, so my advice would be waiting until a newer downgrading homebrew that doesn't cause the wii to brick on downgrading from 4.2 comes out. Remember, downgrading the wii is only necessary if the homebrew you want to work doesn't work.

EDIT: Thanks to brkirch for adding the feature to gecko os allowing me to play NSMBWii w/out updating. ;D

you should downgrade. There are many tutorials on youtube for downgrading. I would check on wiibrew if downgrading from 4.0 causes a brick or not. I think it only bricks if you have 4.2. (But still check anyway). Remember, like it says on wiibrew, all downgrading has a risk of bricking the wii, especially if you don't know what you are doing. When 3.3 firmware came out, I updated, and that caused a problem with hombrew. So, I downgraded back to 3.2 and then installed flexible custom firmware 3.2. Then I used gecko os to install the necessary files to play New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

I have my firmware at 4.2 and homebrew works perfectly
I just had to install wads again, although installing one thing made it kill all of it!
Homebrew and Wad channels just didn't work.

this update is really bad for hackers. :(
soon thing will just keep getting worse with there next possible update for wii. :(

[Thewill]

well if you have preloader you can prevent it from that(which i have installing on 4.2)

[Radical Hacker]

if i use gecko to play super mario bros. wii, will it update??? cause i have v4.1U and don't want to lose Homebrew/Gecko if it does?

If you play it through gecko, no... as stated about 5 times now.

[mrdefender]

Eugh. I'm so confused.  :confused:

Can I updated to 4.2 and still use GeckoOS and cheats and stuff? Some people say yes, so no.

I still got my nand file (not sure the filetype) and stuff. I could restore it and do a wii system restore too.

I just want to know if I can install homebrew on 4.2 and have it work with codes and stuff.
