System Menu Versions And IOSs

I've put together this list for people who want to use this for reference or downgrade or unbrick but don't have an internet connection and don't know which system menu and IOS they need. Of course, if you're bricked, you will need to some method of loading WAD Manager. All these files can be found using NUS Downloader or Google. To stay safe install the version of a system menu IOS that was released with that System Menu IOS as in some cases (IOS50) newer versions are stubs and will result in a brick. I'll wait for another mod to share their thoughts before I sticky/move this thread.

Unbricking

Those who are bannerbricked and have Preloader installed, can load homebrew channel and from there, load Wad Manager and install the correct wads to unbrick.


If you have a bannerbrick and don't have Preloader v0.29, you can use an autobooting modchip to load Wad Manager, follow this

Make sure you have the correct wad files in the wad folder on the root of your sd card. For example if we want to get on 3.2 USA. We would find the wad for IOS30-v1040 and System Menu v289. We would then put these files in the WAD folder on the root of your sd card. With the sd card in your wii, you would load WAD Manager via the autobooting disc or Preloader. We would then select Wii SD Slot, then highlight IOS30-v1040 and install it by pressing + on the wiimote, we would then do the same for System Menu v289.wad and then restart. Wii Fixed.

This is for Korean Wiis. They don't have much updates as the other regions so:

3.3
System Menu IOS: IOS40-v2320
KOR - v326


3.5
System Menu IOS: IOS52-v5661
KOR - v390


4.1
System Menu IOS: IOS60-v6174
KOR - v454


4.2
System Menu IOS: IOS70-v6687
KOR - v486

Almost gave up looking. "Thankyou Man!"

I have a Korean wii converted to English with 3.2U and then tried upgrading to 4.0U. i installed a patched IOS60 and then the 4.0U firmware (V417) and i bricked my wii!

i can get to recovery mode, but it shows 4.0(KOR) on the lower right corner.
now, which firmware and IOS should I install using the autoboot disk?

I would think that you load back you're old 3.2u. look at the first post and download the files with NUSD. NUSD v13Beta - Download from mediafire.com - Filestube.com

hello
how to install ios on wii???

Use WAD Manager, your answer could have been found using the Search button.

Great post ShadowSonic2! Really helps

Ok, thanks for this thread guys.

I realized that for Super Mario Galaxy I need IOS33

By following this tutorial: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...d-any-wii.html
I ended with many IOSes, but apparently not the one I need, because Im always black screened when I try this game. I think I have: IOS38, IOS53, IOS55 and IOS50, SM 4.1E

What should I do now? I understand that my System Menu is fine, and no need to downgrade. But what about IOS33? How do I do that? Am I going to downgrade something, or just add a new IOS???

Thank you my friend I had semi brick on 4.1E so i reloaded IOS 60-64-V6174.WAD and System Menu-NUS-V450 WAD , now all is fine back
Got both from the NUSD Programme :-)
