I tried modding my wii today.
Description:
Version 3.4U = beta hack 2
in zzk's video stated that I needed to install wad manager ios36 first I get an error (ret = - 1035)
i tried installing cios alone and get an error.
tried 3 times. What am i doing wrong?

run the Cios installer (you will get a error) then run the custom WM  and install IOS16 and cios_fix

then run the CIOS installer again (should install all the way)

Now you can go into the WAD manager and install the ISO36

thanks zzk ios16 installs, but i still get an error on cios_fix

Here is what I did:
run the hack got the homebrew channel installed
run cios got an error (like you said)
run wad manager
run ios16 (installs like you said)
run cios fix (get an error)

and what exactly is custom wm is it wad manager?

Here are the File you need
http://www.filefactory.com/file/aee5db/n/Wii_Fix_Tools_zip

Its called the Wii Fix Tool for users on 3.4 it basiclly has all the tools you need to modify your 3.4
and the Custom WM is in their and so is the cIOS fix.
all you need is the ISO36 to install in the wad folder.

Just follow wat zzk said
Hope this helps ;D

thanks snipes but how would i use these files?
do i need to take out the homebrew channel
install it again?
and put these files in?
I have no clue what to do with these files.

lol no you need the HBC to run them lol so, put the files in the root of your SD card and just make sure you put the ISO36 in the "wad" folder

Then follow Zzks instruction
run the Cios installer (you will get a error) then run the custom WM  and install IOS16 and cios_fix

then run the CIOS installer again (should install all the way)

Now you can go into the WAD manager and install the ISO36

And you should be good

If you Used my files then All them Apps/files are in My Pack

In the Homebrew channel Just  push to the right and you'll see custom WM (Does not have a Display img)

thanks zzk and snipes, i used both your packs. at first didnt work, but i started messing around and somehow it worked.
one more question, do i always have to run the homebrew channel, then backup loader to load my games?
is there a way i could load backup launcher from the wii, instead of the sd card?

Just upload it to our wads enjoy ;D

thanks snipes.
so what do i do? put the wad file into the root of the stick? run homebrew channel? and it will copy it for me?
and what is the difference between backuploader and wiigator?
thanks again

i downloaded the file, and put it in the wad folder. when i try to install it through wm and wad manager i get an error am i doing something wrong?

you Need to follow this all the way

1. load cIOS installer (will Fail)
2. load custom WM  and Install ISO16 It Should install  then install the cios_fix (that should install to)
3. run cIOS installer (should fully install this time)
4. If it's not working Load the WAD manager and Install cios_fix(hope that it installs)  Then do the cIOS installer

thanks zzk i got that to work. but i am speaking about the backup loader
how would i run that straight from the wii, instead of poping in the sd card to run it all the time?

to install channels youll need to look for WAD's
i believe snipes was saying that he just uploaded it to our Wad's in the Wii section
look for BackupLauncher 0.3 Gamma.wad or somethings named like that

install with WM and youll have a backup launcher channel

thanks gamerz
but i still have problems.
i downloaded Backup_Launcher_0.3g-Channel.wad
put that in the wad folder (which is in the root folder of my sd card)\
loaded the homebrew channel
lauchned custom wm
tried to install it
but i get error (ret =1022)
i tried installing using both custom wm
and wad manager
what am i doing wrong?

you Don't Use the Custom WM to install .Wads 


Load the WAD manager to install it.


the Custom WM is just for fixing the Cios

Thanks zzk, i apprieate all your help, and i hate to be a bother not only to you, but others also. but i tried both earlier and it did not work, both wm, and wad manager. am i putting it in the right folder? ill try again and post up again

make sure you install the IOS36  as well (that may help)

ios36 installs fine, but backup loader still getting errors

im sorry i meant to ask this
realg are you at sys version 3.2? did you downgrade

if you didnt you cant install channels (or at least very easily, im pretty sure you cant at all but could be wrong)
you need to downgrade to put on channels

I have Installed Channels on 3.4  ;)

Now Running them channels i installed On 3.4 Is  close to imposable =)

So yea it's best to Downgrade to 3.2

zzk,snipes,gamerz i thank you guys for guiding me. im on 3.4, how would i downgrade? you took your video down

First make sure you have a Wi-Fi set up on your Wii, and a Wi-Fi that don't drop the connection and that is nice and strong

Then just run IOS Downgrader from the HBC that came with the files i gave u, and choose 3.2U and make sure that the firmware you pick ends with a U for United States as our region, if not u gots a semi-bricked wii yo :D

JUST HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE A POWER OUTAGE and or DROP THE Wi-Fi WHEN DOWNGRADING OR YOUR F***ED

Good luck ;D

Or just Use my offline files with No risk of Bricking =)

I took down the Video As some ppl (are dumb)  ::) and having problems with the Installing the .Wad files as they Where like you and was getting errors when trying to install Some .wad files etc etc

I am going to upload the Video to the server so you can download it.

But it's Very easy

1. pick the Reagen  that your Wii is on  (USA,PAL,JAP)

2. copy the 2 wad files to the WAD folder and Run WAD manager

3. Install IOS30 First then Install the SystemMenu  (MUST do it in that Order)

4. DONE your Wii is now on 3.2

snipes,zzk,gamerz and all other that i have not mentioned thanks for guiding me and others who have read this post through this.
last question
is it possible i could downgrade before installing the cios backup launcher?

quick and easy
thanks
but i still cant install backup loader:( im still getting an error:(

after you do the Downgrade you'll need to Reinstall the cIOS installer and Stuff again.

I did, still doesnt work. :(
by the way zzk i dont think i ever thanked you. your video on how to softmod xbox's, because of that i modded many xbox's

what error and What are you trying to do ?

I get error 1024 and i am trying to install backup loader so i could have it as a channel, not run it through sd card all the time
i downloaded it from our file section
put it in wad folder
tried to install it using wad manager and custom wm still didnt work

just install the One from My File pack  it's called

Wii Gator.wad

Works every time for me.

Or mine  ;)  :P

JK but yeah on my friends Wii for some odd reason only Wii Gator worked, hope it works for you too bro

thanks fellas i tried it downloaded it of our file section and it didnt work before, but i will try again with yours.
also what is the difference between wii gater, and backup loader?
also how would i play n64 games on it?

there both the same Just the backup loader on the SD card is the Newer version.

thanks zzk wii gator worked

Well Duh...  ::)
