Do you have an sd card?

Did you make sure that your write protect slider is in the up position like in this image https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/764412292262658069/978284069207027712/unknown.png

#

How long did you wait

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 2:41 AM

#

just curious, do you have a wiimotion controller ?

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

motionplus?

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

yes

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

what brand is your sd card?

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

bitter crag micro center microsd inside a sandisk adapter

can you take a pic?

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 2:44 AM

#

ok

#

#

sorry for the sideways image

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

it's fine, i just check the compatibly of the sd card and it's say it works. okay next question, is the sd card formatted to FAT32 with the partition style MBR and a 32kb cluster size?

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

not sure if it's mbr or gpt, and i think the cluster size is 16kb

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

okay, move the private folder and the boot.elf and any other important files off your sd card and then use this reformat it
You can use Rufus (https://rufus.ie/) on a Windows machine to easily format an external hard drive and SD cards for use with your Wii.
You need these settings:

Turn on List USB Hard Drives under Advanced drive properties, and select the correct device at the top

Boot selection: Non bootable
Partition scheme: MBR
File System: FAT32 / Large FAT32
You may also want to turn off Create extended label and icon files, found under Advanced formatting options, as to avoid your hard drive getting plagued by the Rufus icon (it's harmless)

Rufus - The Official Website (Download, New Releases)

Rufus is a small application that creates bootable USB drives, which can then be used to install or run Microsoft Windows, Linux or DOS. In just a few minutes, and with very few clicks, Rufus can help you run a new Operating System on your computer...

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 3:36 AM

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

yeah, it still didn't work

#

the log says i'm on IOS 37 rev 0x816, is that the correct version? i tried updating my wii several times and it failed on 0% every time except once, where it got roughly a third of the way through. when i got it, it was on 3.3, and after the failed update it's on 4.3.

#

i get error code 32002 eventually every time i try to update

late bobcatBOT May 8, 2023, 3:45 AM

#

Here's information about your error:

Class for error 3xxxx: Expanded feature error codes.

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 4:27 AM

#

bitter crag i managed to get it to fully update and now press 1 to continue appears

nice

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

i have the homebrew channel and bootmii now, thanks for your help!

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

make a NAND backup using bootmii

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

ok

#

there's no option to launch bootmii after pressing home in the homebrew channel for me

#

never mind, i installed it as boot2

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 4:34 AM

#

bitter crag never mind, i installed it as boot2

oh dope

#

did you restart the wii

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 4:37 AM

#

yeah, it's processing blocks now

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 4:37 AM

#

nice, let it verify the backup too

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 4:38 AM

#

ok

#

will i need priiloader or is bootmii as boot2 enough?

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

get priiloader also

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

ok

#

alright, i have priiloader and i enabled the hacks recommended on wii.guide

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

bitter crag alright, i have priiloader and i enabled the hacks recommended on wii.guide

alright, now move on to this (https://wii.guide/cios)

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

if it says net_gethostbyname failed: -125, should i install cios on that slot again?

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 5:19 AM

#

are you connected to the internet

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 5:19 AM

#

yes, and it worked correctly without any errors for the first two cios's i installed

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 5:19 AM

#

try again

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

i'm installing the last cios, what do i install next?

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

bitter crag i'm installing the last cios, what do i install next?

now it's time to get HBC apps there's 2 ways you can't get them, the 1st way is through (https://wii.guide/hbb) the homebrew browser app or you can use (https://oscwii.org/library) the open shop channel website, they're both the same

#

also i'd suggest using either usb loader gx https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx or WiiFlow https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow these are "game" loaders

#

Also USB Loader GX has official Forwader Channels. You can install them to the Wii System Menu using a wad manager like Wii Mod Lite:

Wii:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad

vWii(Wii U):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT_vWii (Fix).wad

Only install forwarders meant for your system.

Put WAD files in a folder called WAD on the root of your SD or USB.

Then install it using a wad manager like Wii Mod Lite:
https://wii.guide/wiimodlite

After you install a WAD file using a WAD manager, you can delete it from your WAD folder. They're installed to the Wii's system memory so there's no reason to keep it on your SD/USB.

#

Wiiflow has one also get it here https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

is installing the wad the same as getting it through the open shop channel?

frozen falcon May 8, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

for wiiflow it is, but wads are gonna be installed by using either wiimod lite https://wii.guide/wiimodlite or YawmME https://oscwii.org/library/app/yawmME i'd recommend getting both

bitter crag May 8, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

ok

#

thanks for all your help
