Thread: Wii V3.4e - Problem when doing Custom IOS installer

I also have a Wii, and have successfully performed this already. So I think I know what I'm doing. ('think' being the operative word)

When I looked at his Wii, firmware is up to 3.4e. So I downloaded some HBC files that are believed to be compatible with his one.

Ok, so I got the HomeBrew Channel working. I am now up to the part where I have to perform Custom IOS installation. When doing so, I get an error message: "custom ios could not be installed! (ret = -2011)".

I have tried cIOS36 and cIOS37, neither of them work, so now USB loader does not recognize any harddrive. I have been searching a lot of forums, I'm more confused than when I started. Everyone has some comments, not a complete guide.

My questions are:
a) Is there any cIOS loader that works for Wii V3.4? if so, could someone give me a link for download.
b) Is V3.4 really not Homebrew-able? (Some forum say yes, some say no) I got the Homebrew Channel working, it's just the cIOS now.
c) If V3.4 is not Homebrew-able, how do I perform a downgrade to V3.2? Again, different forums have different little bits of information. Having one site, with one set of instruction and downloads would be fantastic.

Thanks for listening to me rumbling on

Read tutorial section there is a number of different ways of doing it. My personal would be to use a package like Wii Softmod for Dummies or similar that allow you to take it back to 3.2E using Nintendo Server. Then you can either leave it at 3.2E and install Starfall or Preloader before Custom channels to prevent Non recoverable Bricking or Upgrade it back to 3.4E or even 4.0E.

Please read tutorial section first there is a wealth of knowledge available

3.4 has no vulnerable IOS so you have to install IOS16 on it then use that to install a cIOS, if you do step 2 of this guide you should be good to go.

Hi all,

I found out what's wrong with my previous attempt at installing cIOS. It was because I was using a micro SD card (Stupid friend, giving me extra problems).

I tried now with a real SD card from my camera, and the installation steps worked 100%. Thanks Dogeggs!

So I can confirm that this Downgrader & Installation guide works 100%, word by word. Great work.
