i installed bootmii as boot1 and cant switch to boot2

It loads boot1 from the beginning of NAND and verifies it against a hash stored in non-writable memory. This ensures that boot1 is also untouchable (you’ll brick your Wii if you try). Here’s where it gets interesting: boot1 is supposed to load boot2 from a special reserved section of the NAND Flash memory. Boot2, which is a sort of mini-IOS, then kicks off the loading of the system menu (and ends up loading its required IOS beforehand).

However, the boot2 verification uses the same exact infrastructure as the one used in the rest of the Wii, and it is also vulnerable to the fakesigning bug. DO I INSTALL BOOTMII AS BOOT2 OR IOS VERIFICATION Since boot1 is untouchable once the Wii leaves the factory, every current Wii in existence (as far as we know) is and forever will be vulnerable to this bug, which lets us install a fakesigned boot2 of our choice.Īs you may have guessed, BootMii-Core is such a fakesigned boot2. However, it isn’t a hacked version of boot2, nor is it a replacement for boot2.

First, you need to realize that boot2 as it actually is stored isn’t a monolithic piece of software. The following applies to boot2 and to all IOSes prior to IOS30, and to the boot file of IOS30 and beyond.

DO I INSTALL BOOTMII AS BOOT2 OR IOS VERIFICATION.

DO I INSTALL BOOTMII AS BOOT2 OR IOS FULL.

DO I INSTALL BOOTMII AS BOOT2 OR IOS PATCH.

DO I INSTALL BOOTMII AS BOOT2 OR IOS UPDATE.

I do original hardware hacks to the Wii quite consistently, and as of lately I have been doing a live stream hacking on youtube. I thank you guys for coming and checking this out. This is something that a majority of Wii owners have missed out on as early in the Wii's life Nintendo patched the vulnerability in Boot1 that did allow the installation of Bootmii in Boot2 making it impossible to have this anti-brick feature in most Wii's. In the video below you will see a Wii Mini motherboard that I have added an SD card slot and reset button to, and I will turn on the Wii Mini and BootMii will load up right away. The result of which allows us to have BootMii for every model of Wii including the Wii Mini. I was able to flash SDBoot to my Wii with a hardware flasher. My friend (whom asked to not be named anymore) found an exploit in Nintendo's SDBoot code. SDBoot was used in factory for installing the system onto the Wii. In those leaked filed contained what is known as SDBoot. We, like many others, got our hands on the leaked Nintendo files a few weeks ago. Well, I would like to share with you something that myself and a fellow hacker have been working on. Also, anyone familiar with the wii hacking scene certainly knows of Team Twiizers and their BootMii software used for backing up and restoring the Wii's system software. Anyone familiar with the Wii hacking scene may know of my previous work with the Nintendo Wii and hardware hackery.
