raphzthename said:Hey all! This guide has changed somewhat since the last time I was here. I was able to successfully upgrade to 4.0 with three previous Wiis, but this time I'm having a bit of trouble on this 3.4U. I entered HBC and I'm installing cIOS36 rev13 per the instructions through the Network. I selected IOS36 and it had a little note saying that Custom IOS will be installed as IOS249. That all seems to match up perfectly with what was written on the guide.
I chose the Network installing and it starts downloading the patches, but then when installing the custom IOS, it returns an error. Here is what my screen says:
Code:>> Content #15: 01 patches applied! >> Content #01: 05 patches applied! >> Content #17: 18 patches applied! >> Title downloaded successfully! [+] Adding contents, please wait... ÂÂÂÂ>> Content #18 added successfully! ÂÂÂÂ>> Content #19 added successfully! [+] Installing Custom IOS, please wait... ÂÂÂÂ>> Install ERROR! (ret = -2011) [+] Finishing installation, please wait... OK! Press any button to restart...
Would appreciate help in understanding this error and what steps should be taken to fix it. Thanks!
Why are you using IOS36? Does this Wii have anything else installed on it or are you try to start fresh using the online guide? The IOS you select in the installer basically just needs to be one that's still vulnerable and most likely IOS36 isn't on that Wii. If you have previously installed any form of cIOS and IOS249 is already on your Wii you would normally use that to update it.
I'm actually not sure why the online guide says cIOS OR 3.4 or lower. It will definitely work with any cIOS previously installed, but I was under the impression that you don't need to do any downgrading for 3.3/3.4, to install any cIOS, but still have to at least install a vulnerable IOS on it to do it such as IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad or IOS35-64-v1040.wad, and use whichever one you installed to install the cIOS.
I believe if you just install either one of those and then have the rev13 installer use that IOS it should work. The offline guide is a pretty sure fire method for most any Wii, but I think doing step B would be enough to start using the online guide(and then using IOS35 for the rev13 installer.)
BTW you also might want to fix the typo on that line for rev 13 also assassda. Shouldn't it be cIOS38 rev13? And also you could specify whether it's 13a or b.
And back to raphz, if that's why you used IOS36 to try to install it, that number has nothing to do with what you're supposed to use. It just says the the cIOS is based off of that IOS and then modified and it's revision 13. Normally they all have been based off cIOS36 so it was always cIOS36 rev__, but rev13 was based off IOS38 instead.
