Hacking Downgrading IOS 15 on 4.3 Virgin wii

TBR keeps locking up :\. Gets to the screen where I hit B to continue without IOS Reload, and locks up :\

Choose IOS41 instead of "continue without IOS reload," then?

If you press B, IOS 36 will be loaded by default instead of the IOS 41. You must choose this one to downgrade the IOS 15 in the first step. On the next one, you will need to use the IOS 15 to patch the IOS 36 (IOS 36 menu) and then, use the IOS 36 to restore the IOS 15. BTW, you can use AnyTitle Deleter DB, for example, to delete the IOS 41 and the IOS 222, 223, 249 and 250 stubs once you are done and try to install a cIOS using IOS 36. Good luck.

Hrm, its locking up before I can choose what IOS to use :\

I'm not sure, usually this stuff has to do with media. Reformatting to FAT32 to be sure, and if I have to I'll try to find a different SD card :\.

 

[Techrev]

Grrr, stack dump. I'm guessing this is my issue, I'll have to work it out :\. Unless anyone has any advice?

You could try using MMM, or some other software that has the TBR functionality, but isn't TBR itself. I guess it depends on what is actually causing TBR to hang/crash in this instance.

Once this method is tested and verified on a virgin Wii, in theory it should be possible for a coder to come up with a mod of TBR that downloads IOS41 v2835 from NUS (or uses an SD copy), installs it, and does the downgrading/patching all in one step.

That'll help make things a bit simpler, at least until Ninty pushes 4.3v2 that stubs IOS41.

 

[Techrev]

I'll try MMM.

 

[Techrev]

Yeah, MMM is crashing too :\. Trying again. Anything else that would do it?

 

[Techrev]

I would bet 35 cents that I need a gamecube controller.

 

[Techrev]

OMG, didn't edit the mmmconfig.txt to use IOS41 >.

 

[Techrev]

Ok, MMM runs, but when I install & patch IOS36 its erroring out trying to downgrade IOS 15 :\.

Setting the revision to 0...
ERROR: ES_AddTitleStart (-1035)
Error setting version to 0
ERROR (-1035): Downgrading

 

[Techrev]

Sorry, I'll stop blowing up this forum. Sounds like MMM isn't able to use IOS41 to downgrade IOS 15. Using IOS41 v2835

 

[Techrev]

OK, so, ran MMM using IOS 41, then ran TBR, it let me choose ISO41, downgraded successfully. I really have a sinking feeling that the only issue I'm running into is that I don't have a gamecube controller and the wiimote is failing to connect sometimes. Can't do it through MMM though.

Helpful Hint: edit your posts instead of making >9000 new ones.

 

[Techrev]

Now that I downgraded IOS15 with TBR through MMM, MMM is crashing, so my work around to make the wiimote work no longer works >.

maybe you should run syscheck first to check your ios, you might got some sort of cioscorp or old softmii there.


tested this and works fine to me


BTW great job wiicrazy, always thinking out of the box!! never thought you your serious when you said at the 4.3u tread that you know how, and i thought you were just joking to lighten the mood. gues i was worng

 

[Techrev]

Yeah, I'm sure it works great. I don't think theres anything wacked. I'm not sure whats happening. I need a Gamecube controller. Right now the only way I can downgrade IOS15 is by running TBR through MMM, and the second it installs correctly I get a core dump, and then niether MMM or TBR will run. If I use WAD Manager to install the latest version of IOS15 from NUS it all works again, and I can start over. I know TBR is working fine, just my wiimote can't connect unless I go through MMM. I have a feeling in my gut somewhere that if I had a Gamecube controller and was able to run TBR straight without going through MMM it would all work fine.
