If using BootMii as Boot2 to install the HBC, copy the 'BootMii' folder from you r previous BootMii install to the root of your SD Card (or download it using Mod Mii). Then boot your wii, BootMii will load, go To the SD menu, load bootmini.el f. This will load the Hackmii Installer allowing you to reinstall the HBC. If using a Forwarder Channel, just save the boot.elf/dol from the app you want t o load (ie. SD:\apps\hackmii_installer\boot.elf or SD:\apps\MMM\boot.dol) to the location used by your SPECIFIC Forwarder Channel (ie. SD:\apps\usbloader\boot.d ol). Then start the channel and the Hackmii Installer will load allowing you to reinstall the HBC. Note, if your forwarder channel only loads dol's and not elf' s, launch MMM's boot.dol, then use its "App Manager" to load the Hackmii Install er. INDIANA PWNS EXPLOIT -------------------- REQUIREMENTS: * A copy of LEGO Indiana Jones * A non-SDHC card (SDHC cards don't work) A. Load the LEGO Indiana Jones game at least once (otherwise you won't be able to copy over the hack). B. Backup your personal LEGO Indiana Jones save file before copying the files to your SD Card (if applicable): a) Put your SD card in your Wii and turn it on. b) Go into Wii Options - Data Management - Save Data - Wii c) Find your Indiana save, click on it, click "Copy", and click Yes. Now erase the save file from the Wii. d) Put your SD card in your computer, and copy the "private" folder from the c ard to a safe place. Alternatively you can temporarily rename it. C. Copy the files from the COPY_TO_SD to the root of your SD card (if you havent already) and insert it into your Wii D. Go into Wii Options - Data Management - Save Data - Wii - SD Card then copy over the "Indiana Pwns" save that corresponds to your region. E. Play the Lego Indiana Jones game. Load the new save file. You will be in the Main hall, walk towards the camera, enter the first door on the right (Indy's left) and go into the 'Courtyard'. Walk to the end and enter the 'Art Room', you will see a podium with 2 charac ters on it, talk to the left one. Hit left twice (scrolling through his items) to choose the switch option (Bla ck silhouette with a white arrow to another black silhouette) Hit A to launch the boot.elf/dol file saved on the root of your SD card. This runs the Hackmii Installer (and silently/automatically installs BootMii as IOS). Use the installer to install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii as Boo t2 if possible. If you cannot install BootMii as Boot2, you also need to 'prepar e an SD Card' for BootMii (as the 'BootMii' folder is required to launch BootMii as IOS or Boot2). Note: If you get a 'no vulnerable IOS' error message, run ModMii again and this time select the 'Hackmii Solutions' option instead of 'ModMii Wizard' and follow the new instructions before continuing this guide. After you exit the hackmii installer, you will be taken to the HBC. Hit the home button. In the top right corner you will see the IOS used by the HB C. If the HBC is using an IOS other than IOS58 or your homebrew channel is upside-d own, make a note of it as it applies later in the guide (you will have to reinst all the HBC). If it is using IOS58 and your HBC is not upside-down, you can skip the Reinstall The Homebrew Channel step when you get to it. 2) MAKING A NAND BACKUP ==================== While inside the Homebrew Channel, load BootMii by pressing home and clicking La unch Bootmii. Press the power button on the wii 3 times to get to the last option, then press the reset button. [You can also navigate with a Gamecube controller] Press reset to choose the first option, then follow the directions on the screen to make your NAND backup. [Bad blocks are no problem.] Backup the Bootmii folder, NAND.bin, and keys.bin elsewhere and erase from the s d card (or rename it). You'll need these in case of emergencies, so don't lose t hem. Go back to The Homebrew Channel. Note: if Bootmii was installed as boot2, then it will show up as soon as the Wii is turned on AS LONG AS it finds the bootmii folder (mentioned above) on the ro ot of the SD card. 3) INSTALL A PATCHED IOS236 ======================== Start the Homebrew Channel. VERY IMPORTANT! In the Homebrew channel, if you do not have a working internet connection alread y set up, you will see an icon flashing in the bottom right corner of the screen indicating its inability to initialize the network. You MUST wait for the icon to stop flashing OR let it flash for 30-60 seconds before proceeding otherwise t hese apps will error shortly after being launched. If you encounter this harmles s error, power off the Wii and repeat this step from the beginning. To increase your chances of success, add a working internet connection to your Wii via the o fficial Wii Settings Menu, but be sure to say "No" when asked to perform an upda te. You only need to perform ONE of the below methods. Method A: Using IOS236 Installer -------------------------------- After waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, la unch "IOS236 Installer v5 MOD". Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly. It should say "IOS236 installation is complete!" and return to The Homebrew Chan nel. If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work. If you continue to experience errors you can try using Simple IOS Patcher instea d. Once either method successfully installs IOS236, you can move onto the next step . Method B: Using Simple IOS Patcher ---------------------------------- After waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, la unch "IOS236 Installer". Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly. Choose "IOS36" (already selected by default) and push A, Select "Install IOS to slot" and choose 236, Select "Install patched IOS36" leaving the 4 patches set to "yes" and press A, Choose "Load IOS from SD card". Confirm your choice with the A button, When prompted, push A to continue the installation. When the installation is over you'll be back at the Main Menu, Then push B button to exit. If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work. If you continue to experience errors you can try using IOS236 Installer instead. Once either method successfully installs IOS236, you can move onto the next step . 4) INSTALL PRIILOADER ================== Launch "Priiloader 236" via the Homebrew Channel After the Priiloader Installer loads, press + to install it. You may get an error for "loader.ini" and/or "password.txt" simply ignore these. After successfully installing Priiloader, access it by powering off the Wii, then powering it back on while holding reset until you see the Priiloader menu.
