How to get a cIOS on System Menu 4 with Cboot2

Dogeggs · 06-21-2009, 01:07 PM

This guide is now out of date!
Use [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] instead.

This is a much simpler way or doing the same thing that the IOS35 trick does, that is = get cIOS249 on your Wii, once you have this you can downgrade your IOS and Wad errors will be a thing of the past. Download [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] and follow these instructions:

1: Copy contents of 'SD Card 1' to SD card.

2: Put card in Wii and go to Data Management > channels > SD Card, then you will get a message saying "Load boot.elf? Select 'Yes'.

3: Install Bootmii v2 as an IOS.

4: Install the Homebrew Channel (unless you have it already)

5: Remove SD card and save the Bootmii installation to your PC.

6: Delete Bootmii installation off of your SD card and copy contents of 'SD Card 2' to your card.

7: Now put card back in, restart your wii ,start HBC, press home then run Bootmii.

8: The screen will be black for 10 seconds then Wad manager will run.

9: Select uninstall first then install IOS249.wad.

10: Go to HB channel and run cIOS38_rev13b-Installer, use network install.

11: Go to HB channel and run IOS downgrader.

12: If you want to stay on 4 download [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] and follow instructions in the readme, but don't run ios downgrader again.

hi I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I followed your guide here and everything was working fine until I tried using the cIOS installer. it says reading "IOS38-64-v3610.wad" error ret = -1 which is not the IOS249.wad.

help?

edit: the text file didn't mention anything about choosing network install, sorry... Thanks for all the hard work guys, keep it up!

fred - have you copied the files from 'sd card 2' to your sd card?

Hi, first off all i'd like to thank Dogeggs for this guide.

My question is : Ive already installed HBC on a lu65 3.4U using the twilight hack and IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad with wad manager, but when i try to load custom wad manager i get black screen...So im stuck.

So now i was wondering should i start over from scratch ?
Should i upgrade to 4.0U using waninkoko's upgrader or should i stick to 3.4U?

Thanx 4 all the help.

try using wad manager 1.4 and selecting ios16 as the one it should run off of, then install lu64.wad

Hey, i have tried several guides throughout the internet, and from this website, and every single time I run any cIOS installer, I always get the same error:

Installing Custom IOS, please wait......
>> Install ERROR! (ret = -2011)

That's when I choose IOS version IOS38, and when I choose version IOS249 I get this:

Initializing network....
ERROR! (ret = -116)

both are on Network mode. This happens every time I go through any tutorial with any cIOS installer. I'm running firmware 4.0u. Any tips on would be helpful, thanks.
