Hacking USB Loader GX and d2x IOS installer problems

[DragonSlaya76]

I got the Homebrew Channel and USB Loader GX, I used the WiiBackupManager and was able to make the game show up and I tried pressing play but there was a black screen and I was back in the Homebrew Channel.

I looked around the forums here and I tried using the d2x cIOS installer and I tried following the directions but d2x v8 final was not an option because d2x v6 is the latest one I see on the d2x installer version: 3.1 (I have the folders for v7, v8, and v10 in the installer folder but they do not appear when I am on it).

I was confused on why d2x v8 final was not an option and thought the installation was somewhere else and I pressed A and went to 249 on the slot map and pressed A again to install the cIOS to 249 on slots map. (249 and the rest were stubbed purple on the slot map.)

Settings I installed to 249 on the slots map:
Select cIOS <d2x v6>
Select cIOS base <37>
Select cIOS slot <249>
Select cIOS revision <21006>

The 249 turned red so it is now ACTIVE (c)IOS

Then I tried:
Select cIOS <d2x v6>
Select cIOS base <56>
Select cIOS slot <249>
Select cIOS revision <65535>

Because the forum told me so I tried what I could do...

Select cIOS <d2x v8 final>
Select cIOS base <56>
Select cIOS slot <249>
Select cIOS revision <21008>

I know now that the right cIOS never showed and I found out later that USB Loader GX does not detect my HDD anymore so I am stuck really bad now so please help me and my lack of knowledge on this.

Forum I used:

I think you're using an outdated cIOS installer. The one I got from this site https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/backup-launchers/installation worked perfectly.

Did that fix it?

 

[Cyan]

v6 was the current available release when that installer was released. so by default it has v6 integrated.
to add new version, you need new folders and a proper ciosmaps.xml

The link found in the thread you linked is good.
This is a compilation of installer and latest d2x I made.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/5ggh53tj9hhp1tr/d2x-cios-installer-3.1-v6-v7-v8-v10-wii.7z

It doesn't contain the Ustealth-emunand compatible d2x v10 r52, but you shouldn't need it if you are not on WiiU.

if you extract all the content into a folder on /apps/ it should work.

sd:/apps/installer/boot.dol
sd:/apps/installer/meta.xml
sd:/apps/installer/icon.png
sd:/apps/installer/ciosmaps.xml
sd:/apps/installer/7/
sd:/apps/installer/8/
sd:/apps/installer/10/

Edit:
So I ran another hack on my Wii using ModMii wizard installing WADs and upgrading to 4.1U. I still cannot get USB Loader GX to recognize any of my USB drives, I've tried 2. Also have tried both USB ports. WiiFlow reads my HDD but fails loading the game.

I was able to get my game to load from the SD card by 'Configurable USB Loader' but I wish I could install the game to the Wii HDD. WiiFlow reads my HDD but fails loading the game.


TLDR; USB Loader GX does not recognize my USB HDDs.



Original:
I am having the same trouble as OP. I launch a game from USB in the loader and it goes back to HBC. I started from v3.4U. Used BanneBomb to softmod, installed HBC, and IOS 58.

I ran through the tutorial @Subscriber0101 posted above. @Cyan posted pretty much the same files from the tutorial. d2x says "Current IOS: 58 v6175." Do I need to 'load' the installed in slot 249?

USB Loader GX no longer reads my USB drive (I tried 2 formatted FAT32) and WiiFlow takes me back to HBC when I try to launch a game. I'm at a loss. Installing emulators was very simple, this is more complex.

Edit: @DragonSlaya76 have you got this working?

System Check. It couldn't hurt .

Prag,

Homebrew Channel 1.1.2 running on IOS37

Reinstall HBC so it runs on IOS58.
If you don't already have a HackMii_Installer folder in your apps folder, create one and copy the boot.elf from HackMii installer there.

Also if that is your current syscheck, you are still on 3.4 with a bunch of outdated/missing game IOSs, guess it's not really an issue if you play from USB but you haven't actually updated your Wii yet.

I reinstalled HBC. USB Loader GX still doesn't work with any of my USB drives. Is it possible all the drives I'm using are incompatible?

Another syscheck ran yesterday:

It's possible all the drives are incompatible but make sure you also have the latest GX version this installer will download the latest version to your computer then just transfer to SD/USB, whichever you use for homebrew.

edit to add:

I use SanDisk for smaller capacity drives and WD My Book for larger capacity.
I did have a couple of PNY drives that didn't work and a functional Transcend 2GB in the past.

Google Code is no longer current. That installer downloads a version that's well over a year old.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/ is the current repository.

 

[Cyan]

I have to update the installer to download from sourceforge.
Dimok made a version, but it's only for the dol, not the forwarders and only for wii not vWii.

I wanted to update it but didn't do it yet.

You can use any loader version, it will prompt you to update to r1256 if you enable online in the loader.
the internal update from old versions will work until december 31 2015, after that Google will shutdown their servers.

Question:

I have the USBloader_GX working via the HBC. All works fine.
But The forwarder just resets the wii and get me back in the menu with all the channels.

I'm sure I have all the latest versions of the loader and forwarder.

My Wii is a 4.1e version. I softmodded it like 8 years ago I think... not sure but a long time.

What can be wrong why the forwarder is just resetting to the menu with the channels instead of starting the loader... (loader via HBC works fine)

 

[Cyan]

two possibilities :

1. you don't have IOS58 (I don't remember which version it was added). Check your HBC>Home button to see if it's using IOS58.

2. you installed the forwarder, but you didn't place the actual homebrew on the SD or USB.
You need to put the loader in this folder : /apps/usbloader_gx/boot.dol

 

[Deleted member 403103]

I have the HBC 1.0.6 on ios61 v19.26

I have the homebrew boot.idol in the usbloader_gx folder in apps

How to I get that HBC on ios58?

 

[Deleted member 403103]

Fixed it ;-)

First I upgraded the HBC to version 1.1.2
The I downloaded a ios58installer and ran it
Then HBC was still on ios61
The I "upgraded". HBC to version 1.1.2 again.

Now forwarder is working

Thanks for pointing out ios58!

I am sure this is a bit dated, but I am trying to mod my wii. I had it a long time ago, but I think the old hard drive crashed or something and I lost everything and it reset on me.

Anyways, I am at the part about the cios and I can only go as far as <d2x v6>. That is just as far as it goes.

I have tried different files from different websites and youtube and they all seem to do the same thing.

Also, the SD card is not locked and I have tried both regular and micro sd cards.

What am I doing wrong?

 

[jeannotte]

Hello,

@ssj1987adam :

Get the cios d2x here ==> https://wiidatabase.de/downloads/hacks/d2x-cios/

Then decompress and put the folder cios d2x in your Apps, and put the cios like this ==>

IOS249 [56] (rev 21010, Info: d2x-v10beta52): Trucha Bug, NAND Accesso, USB 2.0
IOS250 [57] (rev 65535, Info: d2x-v10beta52): Trucha Bug, NAND Accesso, USB 2.0

or follow this guide ==> https://gbatemp.net/threads/syscheck-hacksden-edition.356133/

 

[ssj1987adam]

Thank you for getting back to me on this.

Unfortunately, I am not really all that tech savvy when it comes to these kinds of things.

I unzipped the file and dragged it into my apps folder

Currently I have the following setup:

sd:/IOS57-64-v5918.wad
sd:/IOS56-64-v5661.wad
(both of which were from a previous attempt)

sd:/apps/installer/boot.dol
sd:/apps/installer/meta.xml
sd:/apps/installer/icon.png
sd:/apps/installer/ciosmaps.xml
sd:/apps/installer/v7/
sd:/apps/installer/v8/
sd:/apps/installer/v10/

what are these and how do I set it up?

Hello

You make the changes with the Wiimote cross

 

[ssj1987adam]

Hello

You make the changes with the Wiimote cross

Do you have a guide on Wiimote cross? I don't think I have seen that on any of the guides for this.

 

[jeannotte]

cios 249==> With the cross of the wiimote, go to Select cIOS and check that it is still on d2x V10 BETA52. Then go to Select cIOS base and choose, this time, 56 (normally the program will automatically switch to it) Finally, go to Select cIOS slot and choose 249 (the program should also be automatically put on this one Check again that the Select cIOS revision line is still 21010. If it is not, choose it.

cios 250 ==> With the cross of the wiimote, go to Select cIOS and check that it is still on d2x V10 beta52. Then go to Select cIOS base and choose, this time, 57 (normally the program will automatically switch to it) Finally, go to Select cIOS slot and choose 250 (the program should also be automatically placed on it Check again that the Select cIOS revision line is still at 65535. If it is not, choose it.

I can not be more specific.

Oh, the D pad. The problem is v6 is still as far as it goes. There isn't a d2x V10 that shows up. That's the part I can't figure out. I am wondering if running off v6 would work, instead.
