How to back your nand and install priiloader

[dogtoffee]

Cut all files from you sd and store on pc for later

unrar files to sd (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KRA64BH4)
once you have files on sd
*put it in Wii
*click sd menu
*load hackmii
*install hbc
*install dvdx
*install bootmii as boot2 (if you can)
*install bootmii as iso
*reboot
*goto hbc press home on the Wii remote launch bootmii

*you will have 4 icons

Use the power/reset/eject buttons to navigate the Bootmii menu

select settings

on the next page select back up to sd

The back up takes about 10 mins and its normal to have a few bad blocks

Put the SD card into PC and copy the NAND backup somewhere safe, you can now delete it from your card. If you installed Bootmii as boot2 then also copy the Bootmii folder to your PC .

Now copy the original files back to sd

Priiloader (http://code.google.com/p/priiloader/) is a modded version of Preloader. just like preloader, Priiloader places itself in boot sequence before the system menu.

You cant wright priiloader over preloader

never delete ios

If you are on 4.2 you need to have IOS70-patched.wad installed
If you are on 4.1 you need to have IOS60-patched.wad installed


Copy priiloader (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MME19AB1) file to apps file on sd

Then copy hacks.ini (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BJD73Z0X) to the root of the sd card

Go into HBC and select Priiloader, then load.

Hold + and B to install

Exit

Go to Priiloader menu and select system menu hacks

Then just enable skip disc update check and the region free ones

Save then go into settings

Autoboot = system menu

Return = system menu

Save.


When checking Priiloader is working, power off and then on holding the reset button until Priiloader screen comes up make sure you can get into the HBC.

Booting to USB loader GX

*place sd card in pc
*goto apps file
*then to usbloader gx
*copy boot.dol and paste to the root of sd
*place sd card in wii
*power off and then on holding the reset button
*it will boot into Priiloader screen
*click on load/install file
*select boot.dol
* A to install, once installed press B
*go to settings
*set Autoboot = installed file

On boot up your wii will boot in to usbloader gx. I have read this works with configurable usb loader. But still have to confirm

Hi guys, just tried to conduct a backup and when entered into bootmii IOS in priiloader, it comes up with message:
could not find fat:/bootmii/armboot.bin.
Any ideas?
Thanks

[short360uk]

have u got the bootmii folder on the root of ur sd card

[dogtoffee]

yeah m8 sounds like no bootmii folder on sd. if you follow tut in first post to the word you will be fine.

[stucatz]

no there is a boot.dol file, but not any bootmii files on the root

[ck-ok]

no there is a boot.dol file, but not any bootmii files on the root

why not do it the way the tut says start hb channel and press home button and select bootmii

[stucatz]

hi ck. i tried that and it just seems to go to a black screen and the disk drive light on the wii just keeps flashing blue so i presume it doesnt work. Hence may need to run it as a bootmii as IOS from priiloader but dont have the bootmii file in my root SD card.

m8 you must of removed bootmii folder after your soft mod if you follow the tut you will be able to do your back up.

[stucatz]

thanks, but i dont really want to have to install it all again. I just would like to conduct the back up, by maybe adding a file?

[stucatz]

All sorted thanks.

Sorry this is an old thread but just to remind you that PriiLoader 0.7 has been out for a while rather than the 0.3 shown on here.
