softmodding wii 4.2 and freezes on wad manager

[TNredneck]

im softmodding my sisters wii for christmas and ive used the 4.2 rar files i found on this website and im almost done. i get to the screen with the custom ios installer and i select do not reinstall ios and then start homebrew channel and go to wad mananger v1.5 and then when i push the a button the remote quits working. i have seen where the buttons on the wii should work and also a gamecube controller but i have tried both with no luck. anything you could do to help me would be great cuz christmas is right around the corner and i would like to get this done for her.

[TNredneck]

i dont mean to redirect anybody from this site nor im i plugging another site but i got the guide from www.wiihacks.com (http://www.wiihacks.com) and it is called full hacking guide for 4.2 system menus. im not the best with computers and this guide put it into terms i could understand. like i said before i dont mean to redirect anybody away from here but i hope this helps sum people.

I really am stuck with this, any1 have an easier way or something else??

[hargovan]

lolThanks, this worked like a charm, I really struggled and this was the first option that actually got it working for me.

[burpethead]

What was the fix for this? No one has said. Having the same issue.

[Andyjlw]

I softmodded my wii b4 Xmas but trying to do the same on a relatives and having the freezing issue. Also the wii won't boot up boot.dol from an SD card now only a boot.elf.
Relative had installed the hbc before he asked me to look at it. Was wondering if he'd done something with the cios by mistake?

[endless4]

did someone found a kind of package including everything to get this fu**** v4.2u to work with all the stuff we need to hack the wii without bricking it..

[ck-ok]

endless4 try this Digital Kaos - Downloads - wii soft mod hack 4.2 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/wii-soft-mod-hack-4-2-1049/).
good luck.

I was having the same issues - freezing during Wad Manager. Tried Method B listed here, worked like a charm.

Many thanks for the redirect (:

cant get any programs to start up from homebrew

[dragonsoul84]

mine is freezing too. the link to the fix works, but their link to the files needed is broken. does anyone have the files they had linked?

[killbill]

this fixes any issues with wad manger

[irhxcbcziuzxs]

Just wanted to let everyone know, you don't have to follow the directions to get the mod manager that is included in the link to work. That one seems to work on 4.2 either way.

[m1sniper]

am having the same proble wad manager, csios installer, geogamma, all not working

[abbsy3]

I have tried aal things, but still get the freeze and the wii remote goes dead. Any ideas?

try this swap it for the wad manager in your apps folder Digital Kaos - Downloads - wad manager 1.4 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/wad-manager-1-4-1030/)

[short360uk]

am having the same proble wad manager, csios installer, geogamma, all not working do tihis in DOP-MII
a) Load and Homebrew Channel and run DOP-Mii, on the IOS Selection Screen, select 'Install An iOS w/ fakesign' by pressing down on the d-pad then A on the wiimote. You should now be in the trucha bug restorer portion of DOP-Mii. Load IOS36 and select Downgrade IOS15. Each time it asks, select 'Download from NUS'
Make sure you get no errors. If Loading IOS36 doesn't work for this step, press B for no IOS reload when asked to load IOS. Although It should do these steps almost automatically, I'll just include the info.

b) In the fakesign installation, once iOS15 is downgraded, it should begin patching iOS36.. Make sure to install the patched IOS36 with all these patches selected (Just Say Yes to All of the ones that come up)
Install IOS to slot (36)
Hash Check (trucha) Yes
ES_Identify Yes
NAND Permissions Yes

Then Press A on Install Patched IOS36. Again, everytime it asks, choose 'Download from NUS'


c) On the same fakesign installation. Load IOS36 and select Restore IOS15. Each time it asks, select 'Download from NUS'

Once done,
a)Re-run Homebrew Channel and Load DOP-Mii again. Choose the first option by pressing A (iOS:36), You should now be taken to a menu with three options: iOS, BC, mIOS. Select iOS by pressing A. Go to iOS249. Under currently installed, you should unisntall then go back to homebrew channel then reinstall whatever cios rev 17 or whatever ur using then run wad manager again

[kiritani]

Does this work on 4.2U as well?? coz i've tried... and it freezes over and over and i have to power it over and over... big pain in the arse...
