Here is a perfect step wise information on modding your 4.2u Wii. Please read carefully and follow every step correctly.

I had version 3.2u and accidentally upgraded to 4.2u. then all my games stopped working, only got a Black screen, so while searching for a fix I found this link. The instructions are very useful and in no time my wii was playing all games again. Hope it helps others as well

I did everything to the exact T. I have done the exact same process with 2 of my other Wii's and everything has worked fine. However with this one neogamma tells me the 1101 error. I'm using imgburn with 2.4X and dvd-r. Again I have done everything perfect and it worked flawlessly on my other 2 systems but this one is just not working. The usb loads perfect through neogamma. I just can't seem to get it to read the dvd-r's (whic I tested on the other 2 and worked fine). If anyone could help me I would truly appreciate it. HELP!!!

7)next install bootmii(as boot2 if possible)

You should have a bootmii folder in your SD card. If you do, the BootMii Menu should run before the health/safety warning. If you don't have a bootmii folder, install BootMii again in count1970's guide.

My SD has a bootmii folder but the BootMii Menu doesn't run at all. First the safety warning and then the Wii Menu with channels.
The bootmii folder in SD contains 3 files: armboot.bin, bootmii.ini and ppcboot.elf
The root of the SD contains these folders: 000000001, apps, bootmii, config, private and wad. The files in root are: boot.dol, boot_wadmanager.dol, boothackmii.elf, database.txt, installer.log, startup.elf
Shooop u r my only hope. Only you it seems that can help me...Count1970 doesn't answer to my messages.
Thank you very much for your time whatever will happen

Hi there to get into Boot.Mii goto Home Brew Channel and then select Home Button on your Wii remote and then select Boot.Mii and that should get you into Boot.Mii for whatever you have saved etc.
If your on 4.2 though you will not have a Boot Mii2 as this has been removed in this firmware and you will need to possibly downgrade your Wii and then use the Boot Mii process as i could not get this to work either on 4.2E until i downgraded first and then everything went fine and dandy and now im sat on 3.2E and everything good as gold

You installed BootMii as boot2, not IOS right? Try with only private folder, bootmii folder, and installer.log file in the root of your SD card.
I'm sure other people in this forum can also help you.
Good luck on softmodding your wii.

Same thing again. Black screen after Home pressed. I don't know what is installed and what is not any more. Is there a way to revirginize my wii? (Ver. 4.2e), sorry for tiring you so much...

Remember, you must have the SD card in your wii before you turn it on for the BootMii Menu to appear if BootMii is installed as boot2.

[EYFYHS]

Yes, that's what I do, but it isn't installed as boot2.

1st we need to get the Homebrew Channel and a few other things Installed. Just Download This, unrar and place the private folder and the boot.elf file to the root of your empty sd card formatted to FAT32

http://www.4shared.com/file/140287606/4a55b15d/1st_Homebrew_Chan.html

Then go to your wii, and place the card in the SD slot and navigate to the SD card icon,in the bottom left and press A, a warning screen about scams should appear for a few Seconds, press ok,"If not goto Wii,data management,channels and click sd on the top of your screen". The screen will go black. A disclaimer shall appear, press one to continue. Now three lines should appear: Homebrew channel, which can be installed, DVDx, also can be installed, and Bootmii. Install the Homebrew Channel First, then DVDX, then bootmii, When you select bootmii select prepare Sd 1st, after its done move up to install BootMii as IOS and press A, let it finish then exit you should now have the homebrew channel on your Wii system menu, and DVDx and BootMii installed as an IOS.

Now to get rid of the evil ios249, download this

http://www.4shared.com/file/140287685/1b856aef/2nd_Uninstall_stub_ios36_inc.html

If you get errors with the above link use this One

http://www.4shared.com/file/141232574/f253278/To_Remove_IOS36.html

Place the contents of this folder to the root of you SD card (only these contents should be in the SD root,everything else that you want to keep must be backed up to your PC) Now take the Sd and place it back in the Wii start HBC and press home at the main Homebrew Channel screen, Select bootmii and wait. Wadmanager should start. When it does move up to and press left until you see ios36 then Select SD card and press A to continue, after this Select ios249 from wad folder and press A and change the action to "uninstall wad", and press A. Take a deep breath, you are almost done.

Now the installation of cios249rev14 download this

http://www.4shared.com/file/140287891/f6db2bd/3rd_Install_cios249_ios36_inc.html

Place the contents once more to the root of you empty SD and then take it to your Wii Place the SD card in the wii, start HBC and press home at the main HBC screen and select BootMii and wait. At the beginning you should see ios249 highlighted. Keep pressing left on the wii pad until you see "Do not reload IOS" at the ios select screen, press A. If you have internet connection, select "Network install",If not select "SD card"and Press A. and Proceed with the installation.You should now have ios249rev14 installed, which will allow you to run any Backup loader or USB laoder!

Now to get your backup loaders installed, and this will be the last Step,just download this

http://www.4shared.com/file/140288433/4af5d229/4th_Backup_Loaders.html

Place both the apps and the wad folder to the root of your empty sd card and then to the Wii we go for the last time, Place the SD in wii and boot up, open the Homebrew channel and choose WADManagerv1.4, once loaded choose NeoGammaR7.wad "FOR DVD BACKUPS"and follow directions on screen to install. For Usbloading choose USB_Loader_GX-UNLR-r688.wad "For USB HARDRIVE LOADING" and follow on screen instructions to install.

You are now softmodded and ready to play backups on your 4.2u Wii. Hope it helps

...and here I sit stuck on step 1 LOL. I don't know what the heck I am doing wrong but I can't get the card to boot w/ the boot.elf I might be over-thinking, I am not sure the problem.
