Could Someone Please Explain to me about Wii Updates and Bricking?Noob

I don't understand do all Wii updates brick your Wii or just the imports?

Do you need to ever update your Wii except for the Mod Chip?

How would you update your Wii if you have to with a Mod Chip inside of it?

Thanks for your Time

Updating you wii is probably not the best idea. The new 4.1 update can brick your wii so try not to use it. Also if a game asks you to update and you do, make sure you have bootmii installed so your can run the homebrew channel and the firmware degrader. So it's best not to even think about updating it.

The Chip vs Softmod is personal preference no matter what anybody says.

No not all Wii updates brick your wii, the worst offender is out of region updates and on game disc updates/Automatic updates may also depending on version.

Do you need to ever update your Wii except for the Mod Chip?

Yes! you need to update as Nintendo release games that require different IOS, that is for both Softmod or Chip.

How would you update your Wii if you have to with a Mod Chip inside of it?

Usually by disc supported by that particular chip

Thanks for your Time
