newbie help

Posted: March 8th, 2010, 5:08pm PST by j4str

I have been reading but i just seem to be getting more and more confused.

To bring you guys up to date on my situation. I have an older wii, its probably 3 years old now. I just got the new super Mario brothers for Christmas. In the last couple weeks i discovered the whole wii hacking trend, i started researching the softmods but got overwhelmed and just decided to order a drivekey. So my drivekey should be here towards the end of the week.

So i keep reading threads, but they all talk about the nsmb and 4.2 but i can't find an good explanation. nsmb updates to 4.2 and 4.2 will only let me play ntsc games and not pal games?

i just want to know if im going to be able to play backups (and originals for that matter)

thanks -JImmy
Hey, what up...

Hi, I am a long time modder, I enjoy making hardware do things that they weren't originally meant to do. Some of my mods have made it into Nieman Marcus stores (Glass DVD Table, Video mirrors) other stuff has been used for display purposes, but mostly I mod stuff just 'cause I can. I have had my modded Xbox for years and use it as a entertainment system, started modding my Wii last year when I got it, recently decided to try and make it do other things. I do synced Xmas lights and Synced light shows for other things as well.:045:
Help Me Unbrick my wii please.

Hey, I decided I wanted to get my wii to an unmodded state, so I followed the directions in this tutorial: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...ii-virgin.html at step C) Quote: "Next load up AnyTitle Deleter, select IOS36 as the one it should run with and delete any IOS that has a number greater than 200. DO NOT DELETE ANY OTHER IOS WITH IT!" I didnt know how to uninstall with anytitledeleter, so I used the wad manager and manually uninstalled all the wads that I knew I had installed before. Thats where I stopped, and now when I turn on my wii, I cant boot to the system menu, but I can boot to homebrew. I was unable to restore my nand, because I was getting an error saying the dump was for another wii. I even tried to edit the nand files with another tutorial i found somewhere, but it hasnt helped either. How do I get my wii working again?
4.2E Games via SDCard?

Posted: February 25th, 2010, 12:53pm PST by vmultra

Hi, I have read up for the last couple of days.
Especially on this site, there are so much great information but I'm a litle blurry due to the options and methods available.
I firstly looked at the WiiKey, and different Mods.

My Wii -
- Brought it at Christmas.
- Serial starts with LEH286XXX..
- Probably has new updated drive - D3-2 drive?
- Ver 4.2E

What options do I have? or the best option?
SoftMod or chip?
if my drive is the new drive, means I cannot play games via DVDR?
Do you load the games via SDCard?
How do you do this?

Any thoughts or advice would be excellent! :cool:

How to remove softmods and make your Wii 3.2e a virgin plz :)
Please Read Noobs!!!!!

Ok there are lots of ways that you can get an answer here on wiihacks.com

1. Post and Ask to Members
2. Search (lol i know this is a new concept)
3. Reading the Wonderful Guides on the Site

Many people post and post and the answers are a search click away. Many mods and advance members are tired of the #002 Error Posts and the "My Game Wont Load - Black Screen"... Please for everyone that is new to the site try something before you post "Search"... This site is linked into the google adwords and googles search function... For Example:

1. Search here on wiihacks using Search function for: NSMB Fix - - You will get pages and pages of info.

-
-
-
2.But a simple search string at google like this: "NSMB Guide wiihacks" - - and the first result is the guide for NSMB from Wiihacks..

So please please before you post 65% of the answers you will ask can be found by doing this on the wiihacks search or google..

Alien chip attached to my Wii drive

Posted: January 18th, 2010, 10:16pm PST by triggerpeg

Hi all. Very new to this modchip community as I got given an old Wii.

It had a Japanese menu so I guess it was modded in some way v3.3J
I opened it and found this stuck in my drive. I searched and read about 100 post and images to ID the chip but no idea.

[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]

Can some one tell me what chip this is and what softmods are safe to use with 3.3?

Also Should i plug in the internet and update the system via the menus?

Thanks !!
Your Ideal 500gb External HD Partition settings, fat or fat32 that is the question?

Posted: January 7th, 2010, 7:35pm PST by melodical

Don't know if this is the correct thread to be posting on so 'mods' please move this thread if neccessary:

Ok guys i thought i would throw this one out to try and help me.

Already have a freecom 500gb external hardrive casing with samsung drive inside with a fat,ntfc & wbfs partition which has worked great in the past for my wii (with covers via fat (not 32!), films via geexbox on ntfs drive, and iso games via wbfs manager 3.0. I previously only allocated about 30gb to a wbfs partition, a 2gb fat partition & a 400ish gb ntfc partition with all my movies, music, personal stuff etc! The only thing that would not work after serious testing and trial and error was triforce via the fat partition. (although it worked ok via sandisk 2gb sd card)

I'm about to format the drive and would like to ask a few questions without have to reformat the drive several times to find out!

1. As long as i format and setup the drive and partition in this order:

(fat,fat32,ntfs,wbfs), will usb hd app loaders like 'usbconfig' and 'wiiflow' load the games from wbfs AND pull the covers from the fat partition OR the FAT32 partition?

2. If i create both a fat and fat32 partition which partition should i make the most for space for?

2b. IF necessary which particular order do they need to be set up in.

3. To cover all other emulation bases i.e triforce, triforce_mrc, sdl mame, other console emulators, hbc via usb hd which out of the two: fat or fat32 would you recommend?

4. What would be your ideal partition layout for a 500gb external drive?

I'm thinking about the following as i'm not sure if it's worth having a just a fat partition which worked ok for covers and mame_sdl and vids via mplayer in the past or to have that as well as a fat 32 partition to the accomplish the following:

FAT - 06gb -----(for covers! - wont work for me with triforce

FAT 32 - 50gb -----(for future wii app devolopments i.e testing games via fat32 & maybe triforce MIGHT start working as it starts fine via sd but NOT via fat partition?! & playing around with hermes and wiiflow via fat32 if it is necessary over fat? & for mplayer support. )and maybe Rawksd support!)

NTFS DRIVE SIZE - 6gb ----------- for future game testing, films for geexbox or odd and ends?
WBFS - 400gb ------------ fo backups of games i own now and in the future!

=================== 462gb ACTUAL SPACE (500gb ntfs hd limit)

Does anyone agree with this setup to save me time and effort in the future? If not, what would you recommend?

Will it ignore fat 32 if it sees the fat partition or vice versa?

I hope a few people have been in this predicament before and i reckon a few might well in the future. If they have a 1tb drive they could always multiply the answers to my queries x2 !

Thanks in advance and happy new year!

I just wanted to extend a special Thank You to all of the Mods/members who developed this amazing software.

Need some Advice

Posted: January 4th, 2010, 10:29am PST by readyrmca

I have been working at this a while and I've gotten most everything that I've done to work. Originally I followed a tutorial to do my mods that came with a package that I downloaded from a torrent. After I found Wii hacks, I NEVER do anything that I don't learn from here. Here's what my system has Now:

-Homebrew channel 1.0.3 IOS 61 V19.26
:CIOS 36 R10
:USB Loader
:Wad Manager
-Neogamma R8 Beta 15 Channel (When I start this it tells me that it was written for CIOS Rev 14 (but I don't want to update things that I'm not sure about)
-USB Loader GX Rev. 866c Channel

I don't know if this is everything you need to know, But I'll get you any other info you need.

Here's what I can't get to work.

WII Sports Resort PAL (Getting Green Screen) Tried Force NTSC and 002 Fix
WII SPorts PAL (Getting Rolling Screen) Tried Force NTSC and 002 Fix
All my other games that I've downloaded work with NEOGamma R8 Beta 15.
My kids have destroyed my Disc drive so the only way i have to play games is to download and run from USB.

I've read the tutorials and gotten this far on my own, now I need some advice
-Do I need to update anything else.
-Do I need to add anything else.
-How do I stream video from my Computer to my Wii
-Can I connect my wii back to my home network without my games or my Wii trying to update and Bricking my system.
-Can I play games such as MarioKart Wii online safely.

I know this is a lot, but if one of you guys who are my heros that are experts at this keep me on the right track and give me some Advice.

Thanks to all of you at Wii hacks who are taking the time to make my kids and I Wii fanatics as much as I was a metroid and Mario Fanatic when I was a Kid.

THANKS AGAINXXXXXXXXX.
Wiikey 2 v1.3 NSMB problems

Posted: January 4th, 2010, 6:22am PST by dtyson

Hey everyone,
Asking on a forum is usualy my last point of call after spending hours and hours searching through them first. My issue is with NSMB on a hardmodded Au Wii with Wiikey 2 that has had the 1.3 odyssey upgrade applied. I don't have any softmods on the Wii and it is running 4.2E. When I insert the Pal NSMB backup it just goes straight to the 'An error has occurred. Press the Eject Button and remove the disc...etc' message. It will do this everytime without fail. If i turn it off and on occasionally I get the 'The system files are corrupted....' message if the disc is still in the drive. I have tried this with a backup ive created and ive tried downloading other versions. Has anyone encounted similar issues and if this has already been asked I appologise in advance, i simply couldnt find it.
Mplayer worked at first now doesnt work after CIOSCORP..

Posted: January 3rd, 2010, 6:35pm PST by The Strokes

I did soft mods on my friends and I wii LU66 & LU65 and am able to boot dvd burnt games and movies using mplayer ce or mplayer ce forwarder. After using CIOSCORP v3.6 I cant use mplayer ce. I reinstall dvdx and mplayer and still no go.My friends LU65 is also the same. Plays burnt games but no movies.(burnt or originals)
BTW..we both had previous LU39 systems and reading dvd-r would not work at all. So we returned them back to bestbuy and got these systems that were available. So I think it matters for those that have dvd read errors.
Just starting out...

Posted: January 3rd, 2010, 5:13pm PST by audioaltima

Well, have been doing alot of research, and finding a few blogs and such, most of which would refer me to this site. So I decided to register to start further exploring the forums.

I'm pretty raw when it comes to wii hacking, so my intentions are to start with the soft mods and see how they work. If all goes well, I'll go pickup a better external HD.

Anyways, for now I don't have much to say, but I'll try and check in here every so often with my progress.
Hi All

Hi guys, my name is Pat. Just got a Wii for the wife and thought I would have a look at mods for it. I havnt been involved in modding since the early Playstation days and things have moved on since then so it looks like I have a lot of reading to do. Looks like this is the place to do it!
stuck

Posted: January 2nd, 2010, 8:11pm PST by mondipsu

hi, i just got a new Wii today, it has 4.2 loaded

i am getting stuck using "Softmod for ANY 4.2 Wii!"

the directions aren't quite clear enough and i feel like settings have changed since this post came out

should i wait to try and mod for a few months, until new mods come out (ie., when 4.4 is released? or should i try a different approach, i also tried "full hacking guide for 4.2"

thank you,

frustrated
Completed :-}

Playing JPN games on PAL wii?

Posted: January 1st, 2010, 10:45am PST by Taiga_Shinjiro

Hey guys- apologies if this topic has been brought up before-

Just recently bought a Wii from carphone warehouse, just last week.

Does anyone know what firmware would be installed on this console, and whether Datel's Freeloader would work with such a current console?

Heard on other forums that soft mods are the best ways to play other region games on my region console? Can someone explain that a bit?

Also, is there any way to disable any console updates/firmware, etc?
There are a number of JAP games I really want to be able to play on Wii...whats the best way to go about that for me?

Any advice would be appreciated! ^_^
Happy New Year from newbie "canadianbfd"

Posted: December 31st, 2009, 5:19pm PST by canadianbfd

:cool: Hello all, just a quick note.......... I am new to the wiihacks community but am a moderator in two ATV forums. So some of you might recognize my handle "canadianbfd". As a moderator I realize how important members of communities like this are to all members. Without the help and knowledge that we get from others we would not be able to get further ahead when it comes to mods here for wii's or elsewhere for quads. Happy New Year and I hope to get a few answers quickly to unleash the full potential of my wii!!!
Help! How do I Uninstall Preloader v.29 from my Wii v4.2u?

Posted: November 28th, 2009, 8:24pm PST by overtness

Okay, let me make this as brief as I can. Hopefully you can find some pathetic humor in this.

A few days ago I decided to hack my Wii (4.2u) to make an attempt to install Super Mario All Stars (NTSC). So I used xzxero's incredibly simple guide (Modify any Wii 4.2 & below - GBAtemp.net) to install the necessary mods - I installed Homebrew, DVDX, BootMii as IOS2 and boot2; I made a NAND backup; I restored the Trucha Bug; I deleted the Stub IOS's; I installed the cIOS and patched the System Menu IOS.

And then...

...I installed Preloader v.29. From xzxero's guide it was recommended to install it as v.29 and then upgrade to v.30. I tried to upgrade and then the controller shut down and nothing was happening for 5 mins. I freaked out, so I shutdown the Wii and when I restarted it the Preloader menu came up; I had no idea what the hell this was. With sweaty palms and shaky hands I got to the System Menu. I was freaking out so I deleted Homebrew and reupdated my wii to 4.2u again just to clean out the system. Phew I thought. Then I restarted the Wii. Preloader v.29 came up again!!! So I reinstalled everything all over again - Homebrew, DVDX, BootMii, made another NAND backup, restored the Trucha Bug, deleted the Stub IOS's, installed the cIOS and patched the System Menu IOS. BUT I did not reinstall preloader.

And this is where I need help from anyone who can spare me some. The choices I've heard are using 1.) AnyTitle Deleter, 2.) Using a Wad Manager to install a new System Menu, and 3.) pressing the (-) button on the Wii controller to uninstall preloader.

All I would like to do is uninstall all the mods and have my Wii squeaky clean and back to normal without erasing my data. (I worked my ass off beating Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros - yes with all the 3 coins.)

What is the safest way of doing this? Much obliged.
More Newbie Questions

Posted: November 23rd, 2009, 8:09am PST by KillianJ

Hello all. I am new to the softmod scene. Have had an Argon modchip in my Wii for a couple years and have had no problems with it... well till now. It seems the only way to play a backup copy of NSMB is through softmods, for now at least. Don't know if they will update the chip software or not and most likely I figure we will probably see more games like this.

So I figured I better learn what is involved with softmodding and started with this site. I've got to start by saying, WOW this is confusing when looking at it all for the first time. There are so many different programs and versions to use it is overwhelming. But so far this community has been very insightful. I managed to install the HBC, BootMii (not sure if I'm going to use it or need it), backed up my NAND, cIOS38rev15 (didn't work at first I had to patch IOS36... more confusion), and NeoGammaR7.

Not even sure what it all does but hey I am able to play a DVD of NSMB w/o it erroring out now. Downloaded WBFS Manager to see if I could save some DVD's and put the games on a 16GB flash drive (not working). Got a few questions now though and would appreciate if someone could help me out.

1. Guess my biggest question is, what do I NOT do in order to keep the Wii from bricking? Never been an issue with the modchip.

2. NeoGamma w/ DVD's work fine. But why when I use WBFS Mngr to put games on flash drive do I get a green screen when loading NeoGamma USB? Does this not work this way or is there a setting needing changed?

3. How often do you usually have to update anything? I see HBC self updates but what will need to be manually updated?

4. Is there other software you recommend I should install and WHY?

5. What is the IOS software used for and is it necessary to have different ones installed? I see DOP-IOS, cIOS, etc, is it all the same thing or what?

Again, I appreciate the help and any suggestions.
Update blocker

Posted: November 23rd, 2009, 7:37am PST by geekay

Right, to cut a long story short - I was an update idiot and lost the ability to run NTSC imports with my Wasabi DX.

Now before I get punted to the Hard Mods section, this question is relevant to soft modding now......

Thanks to the great advice in here, the Neogamma launching works a treat for the NTSC games. But what I am asking is - should the update blocker that is inbuilt within the Wasabi DX still work when launching NTSC games in this manner? Or do you think that the Neogamma will bypass any protection the Wasabi has?

Cheers :)

okay my 4.2e Wii is softmodded with the tutorial found here: [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] what will happen if now in the future i buy a game that requires a firmware update to play? will i be able to upgrade the firmware to play my game without bricking my wii? to be honest i dont care if it removes all the softmods i kind of want them gone anyway but my main concern is if i buy a NEW game from the shops that requires a higher level firmware update and i go ahead and upgrade, will it brick my wii?

ISO/Game Sharing

Posted: November 14th, 2009, 2:01pm PST by jchapman74

I have looked around and have not found any info on this anywhere. My brother and I both have soft mods on our wii and are using the exact same brand of usb drive. Is it possible for us to share our games between each other? I guess the question is will I be able to play a game that I did not directly back up to my wii?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Upgrading from 3.4U with DriveKey

Posted: November 13th, 2009, 12:07am PST by unknown force

haven't messed with my Wii in about 3 or 4 months as far as upgrading goes. just wondering what is the technique used currently for firmware upgrading Wiis with actual modchips not softmods. thanks a lot
HardMod query please.

Posted: November 12th, 2009, 12:43pm PST by sidney

Hi,
thanks for looking in,
i hope i am in the right place, if not my sincere apologies, some areas it appears you can't post and others you can, Admin / Mods, if this is in the wrong place can someone move me to the correct place please thanks.

Ok here go's, i purchased a hardmodded pc two years ago this feb for my lad, we have had great fun with it and it is still going well (touch wood)
i was curious which chip it has and since the NSMB game came out, i have wondered is my wii up to date?
I understand there are new encryption issues with NSMB and i am also aware of the different solutions to play the game ie USB/SD etc.
I have not softmodded the wii and don't intend to at present with a seven and two year old, this could potentially be the recipe for disaster messing with stuff they don't know about.
I am currently on 4.2e with the latest update, and the wii still plays the backed up games.
My question is how do i know what chip i have and is there a setting i can go into on the wii to see this?
and if so, can i update my firmware if it needs updating? basically all i want to do is ensure i am fully up to date to ensure the latest back ups play, after two years i am aware how much wii's have come on, and a lot of people finding all sorts out about them, i understand people saying if it ain't broke don't fix it, i just think its high time i was on board a bit more with what we currently have in our wii, any help or info is very much appreciated.
Kind Regards
sidney :confused:
Prepping for Mario Bros. Wii

Posted: November 12th, 2009, 9:51am PST by monkeymonkeymonkey

Hey everyone. I've got homebrew installed on 3.1 currently, haven't touched my wii in months but am looking to play New Super Mario Bros Wii (legit copy), which from the sounds of it will require an upgrade to 4.2. Just wondering, what are my options here? I'm not particularly attached to all my mods, is there a way to clean everything off to legit upgrade to 4.2 with no problems? Is there an easier way to go about this?

Thanks!
Drivekey + Softmod?

Posted: November 11th, 2009, 6:50pm PST by azeworai

Hi all,

I have a chipped PAL wii and I'm wondering if I can softmod it to run the games that the chip doesn't handle, like for example "New Super Mario Bros".

So is it possible to have both at the same time? I'm a total noob to softmods.

PS: Reason for keeping the chip is to run some of my original ntsc games from japan.

Thanks in advance!
:confused::D

Question Regarding Updating...

Posted: October 8th, 2009, 6:06pm PDT by HaneyAttack

Hello Everyone,

Great site you guys have here! I have been reading all this stuff and this is probably the most thorough site for modding the Wii, and even anything. (I have a soft-modded 360 as well and none of the sites seem to go this in-depth about what is actually going on post-mod).

Anyway, and excuse my ignorance, but I had a couple of questions... I am running a Wii with a 4.1 firmware, which I've gathered is pretty alright to have given the recent updates in soft-mods, however, I was wondering about this whole updating thing being a problem.

Firstly, does this mean like when I put a game in and it says it needs to be upgraded? Also, will my burnt games ask for this update (is it a part of the game itself, or does it ask because of internet access?) also is there a way to block games from asking to update? I simply want to soft-mod my Wii and play it in peace, I am worried someone will see a game asking to update, update said game and then mess up my Wii.

Anyway, any answers would be great. Thanks!

I just installed the HBC and required mods for Ver. 4.2U. Everything seems to have installed correctly but as of yet I have no way of knowing. Where could I go to find out how to play backed up games, as well as what software should I be using to burn games downloaded from the net?

Wii Hard Drive! Thanks!

Posted: October 3rd, 2009, 6:55pm PDT by swoonef

Wanted to thank you all for all the posts which helped me with my mods. I started with a DriveKey and burning DVD-R which worked great for about a month while I was researching the Hard Drive. Now I have updated my Wii with a Hard Drive and it is AWESOME! Works like a charm and can backup games with ease and the fact that I dont have to mess with DVDs and the game selection screen is very nice.

Specs:
Wii - 4.1u
CIOS 38 rev14
USB Loader GX r773
WBFS Manager v3.0

Thanks!
D2CKey and Firmware 4.2

Posted: October 1st, 2009, 9:14pm PDT by Jevansent

I have a PAL console with D2CKey installed from 2 years ago. As far as I can google, there have not been any software updates released for the D2CKey so far.

I do not have HBC or any of the softmods installed.

I have unfortunately updated to Firmware 4.2 and have found that I can no longer play backups of my Metroid Prime Trilogy (PAL), Okami (PAL) and Muramasa (NTSC).

Is there any workaround for the situation or should I just sit tight and wait for a safe downgrader to be released for 4.2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anybody update to 4.2 yet?

OK, I know the 4.2 softmod thread says hardmods aren't affected, but I just want to double check one more time before I update my system. I have no softmods installed, just a D2Pro. Updating should not be a problem, correct?

Thanks
Been browsing, decided to drop in.

Hello all! I've been researching Wii mods for about a week or so now. I bought a WiiKey and installed it a few hours ago and it works great on most games. Some games I'm getting a black screen, but that's what this site is for; finding answers!

Thanks for providing a wealth of info!

Can anyone help me? Trying to virginize wii

Posted: September 28th, 2009, 4:56pm PDT by mrallen

So, im trying to virginize wii after installing a whole bunch of stuff so that i can install HBC and stuff and lose all the other useless mods I installed. I thought "Format Wii System Memory" would do it, but it screwed me over. My Wii isn't bricked, but now i can't install HBC with bannerbomb because I installed cioscorp and i believe thats what caused the "...no vulnerable IOS installed..." error in bannerbomb. I have a nand backup, but i cannot access bootmii because HBC was uninstalled by the format. So guys, please help, i just got this wii.
Freeloader + Monster Hunter 3 tri = brick?

Posted: September 24th, 2009, 7:24am PDT by japaroo

Hi everyone, im new to these forums. I have a NTSC Jap wii ver 3.2. My Wii is not modded in any other way (no other softmods or chips). I bought a japanese version of freeloader so I could play PAL and NTSC-US games. It worked fine with PAL Metroid Prime Corruption.

However, I recently bought NTSC-Jap Monster Hunter 3 tri. I did the alternative load method with the freeloader (i.e. inserting it twice followed by the game). You may be wondering why I was using the freeloader with a Japanese game on my Japanese Wii. That's because according to the instructions that came with the freeloader it says you should use it for your local games too to avoid unwanted updates.

Anyway I did the freeloader thing then put the game disc in and got to the Wii home menu. It didn't show the picture of the game in the little disc box/window thingy in the top left corner. I clicked on the window and a message in Japanese came up with a confirm button at the bottom. I clicked it and another window popped up that had a blue bar filling up at the bottom slowly. Anyway after that finished I just got a black screen and nothing happened. Ive tried unplugging and re-inserting and everything else I could think but to no avail:(. Have I just "bricked" my Wii?:confused:

I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue anybody could offer.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. sorry for the long post i thought i should give as much specific information as I could that might be helpful.
Need help restoring to factory conditions

I am really stuck: I need to restore my Wii back to factory settings, with no mods or anything, back to how it was out of the box: I read this thread but got stuck on part D.

Need help with first game/backup...

Posted: September 24th, 2009, 2:51am PDT by archon44

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble running my first backed-up Wii game with the soft mods that I've made.

Just got my Wii yesterday and after reading it through several times, followed all the instructions [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] perfectly, with the exception of step 5*

I burnt a Mario Kart PAL .iso to DVD-R, and first tried running it in the Disc Channel, and it recognised the game and began to play the music, but when I attempted to start it I got an error screen saying (all so helpfully) "An error has occured. Remove the game disc and shut down the console".

Then I tried playing the burnt .iso in NeoGamma R7 (IOS36 Rev 3094). At the opening screen I got an error saying I wasn't using IOS249 and that I should install a cIOS. By that point I was pretty confused because I thought that was what the guide had had me do, but I still clicked through and tried to get the game to play but got "DVD Read Err (1101) No cIOS".

I realise that this all could seem stupid to someone with more experience, but I have only the slightest idea of what I am doing here, so any help would be AWESOME. Thanks in advance guys :)

*In Step 5 a), I could not see 'ISO249' in the selections, so I used IOS36 after reading somewhere that the two are same/similar. Also, I got an error in Step 5 d) when trying to install IOS50-64-v4889 (specifically, the screen said "Installing title... ERROR! (ret=-1035)"), but I was told that this was unnecessary/already fixed with the Preloader menu where you can choose to block updates there, so I didn't push it.
