MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE YOUR HBC AND DVDX FIRST!!!! Otherwise it will be uninstalled on boot. Just FYI

Is there any list or does anyone know what this updater does/does not install and what it patches compared to the official Nintendo update...
just for informational purposes :P
Thanks

i'm in 3.2e i have updated with wiscu the shop channel and i have wanikokos rev 14 do you think i have to update with this?

I attempted to load this via wiiload BEFORE updating HBC, etc.. luckily for me it failed (since i've read it is necessary to update first). After updating, I notice wiiload will no longer load the .dol file.

Just thought I'd share.. I'm sure I could load the dol via the sd, but i've decided to hold off for now.

This has flipped my Homebrew Channel (from HackMii v0.5 installer) upside down after running it on a virgin (except HBC/DVDX/BootMii) 3.2E Wii

My post in this thread contains the solution for your problem.

Thanks for your suggestion, but Dop-IOS gives me a -1017 error when trying to install IOS30 in step 1 (it downloads fine) and WAD Manager gives me a -1035 error when trying to install IOS30-64-v1040.wad

I've installed unpatched IOS60 and IOS61 through DopIOS but HBC is still upside down and HackMii installer won't load.

how do i launch the firmware updater???? how come there is no how to guide

[bigd5783]

After annoyingly searching the internet I have put together a set of directions to get this installed properly.

I installed the new HBC, DVDX, and BootMii
Installed Waninkoko's updater
reinstalled preloader (it got deleted for some reason)
Set preloaders system menu ios to 70
Booted into the system menu
ran hbc and slowly ran the ios60 installer
I installed ios 61 unpatched then chose do not install on the other options. I rebooted the wii and opened HBC and it showed up fine.
