Maybe try looking up guides on youtube so you can see exactly what you need to do in case you're getting one of the steps wrong. Just get on youtube and search for stuff like "bannerbomb", "softmod guide" etc. (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjugMjPSvZY" rel="nofollow">example</a>). Or, it could be that you've got one of the newer Wii's and this method doesn't work on it... If you're on Nintendo firmware 4.3 try <a href="http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/62171-4-3-softmod-guide.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> for 4.2 try <a href="http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/24630-full-hacking-guide-4-2-system-menus.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> etc. G'luck.

If you’re on Nintendo firmware 4.3 try this for 4.2 try this etc.

G’luck.

Do you mean making a NAND backup to restore the original system memory? (Step 7) Or blocking disc updates through preloader system hacks?(Step 14), or something else entirely? Which part did you do that came up with an error? Installing bannerbomb in step 5? Give me more details and I'll give you more help - fair? ;) P.S. Yes, you <strong>should</strong> be able to run this guide on a Wii with firmware 4.0, but I've never had to try it on anything that started past firmware 3.4 - if it doesn't work or some additional steps are needed you could always google "Wii 4.0 softmod" to find any info you need.

I just want to know is there something i can do to get my wii back to the original state. or is it alright to leave the wii with half of the brickproofing on it? Hi,

When I update to the new method, maybe I'll update the post - but since I don't really play much on the Wii anymore, I can live with it the way it is for now.
