i can't get on the wii shopping channel lol

idk 4.2U

[C.Mongler]

uh there's no way to update to 4.3 without removing all your softmods. learn 2 .wad manager lololololol 

[ikanaide]

you can not update when you have homebrew.
1. Take homebrew out the wii
2. Update
3. Put homebrew on the wii

It has very time wasted but it is must!

um download the .wad files you need yourself and use wadmanager

[KonohaShinobi]

I really want to mod but I'm scared because I had to send mine in to get fixed back when SSBB came out because the wii wasn't reading discs. Should I take the gamble?

Nope, simply updating Homebrew Channel before updating the Wii will prevent it from being removed.

Manual WAD installation is never necessary for updates and is easy to screw up. Most homebrew sites I see strongly recommend against doing so.

I meant just pirate whatever the hell you want from the store. Manual installation of 4.3U wouldn't work either since its only purpose is to remove homebrew.

You have to update JUST the shop channel manually. Which I'd tell you how to do if Wiibrew wasn't down.

When I checked Wiibrew yesterday, I think it said that everything in BootMii installer 0.7+ fully supports 4.3U, so I don't think even that is necessary.

Well, even Google's cache shows the relevant information: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:JTTcaagj6UUJ:wiibrew.org/+wiibrew&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

WiiBrew recommends that you run the latest version of the HackMii Installer and then optionally update your Wii to 4.3 using Nintendo's official updater.

Only update using the official update procedure. Downgrading or installing patched updates is unsupported, dangerous, and may permanently brick your Wii.

the fuck, it has a blank page cached for me. But wouldn't using their official updater remove your brews, considering thats the only reason it exists? I've never used the official updater, son i am confuse

Nintendo's updates remove channels having a specific internal name associated with an old version of HBC. So the HBC people merely update it to change that name to completely circumvent the issue. Sometimes a little more happens than that, but I think those other changes have no effect on already-installed homebrew.

Ever since installing HBC over a year and a half ago, every Wii update I've done was through the official updater and I've never had any problems other than occasionally waiting a couple weeks after its release before updating so that HBC can update first.

I have no idea whether those updates have an effect on pirated VC/WiiWare channels, though.

I used a third party updater for 4.2 that updated the 4.2 without installing any of the files that remove your homebrew. Which no such application exists for 4.3u. I don't know, like I said I can't really find any detailed guide as to how to update to 4.3u or anyone even recommending to do so.
