Well at the end after reading a few more tuts
l decided to just update via nintendo wifi and use this guide,One thing remove ur nunchuck its a must or you'll be waiting for 3 mins for the apps to launch in loadmii.

INSTALL HBC ON VIRGIN 4.0 WII - GUIDE
DELETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR SD CARD
ONLY THE FILES IN THIS PACKGAGE SHOULD BE ON THE SD CARD!!!

A WIFI CONNECTION IS NEEDED FOR THIS

Go to Data Management then choose Channels followed by SD

Choose "Yes" to load boot.dol

LoadMii will then load.

Press "A" on the WiiMote.

Go down to DowngraderIOS35.dol and run it by pressing "A" on the WiiMote.

Choose downgrade IOS35 and then let it do its buisness, then choose exit dontinstall the patchmii or dvdx

You'll be back in LoadMii now.

Go down and run Wad Manager 1.4 by pressing "A" on WiiMote.

Just select normal settings (don't change IOS)

Install IOS35.wad.

Exit Wad Manager 1.4 by pressing "HOME"

You'll be back in LoadMii.

Run Wad Manager again, when it asked what IOS to use Select IOS35

Now Install the CIOSv7.wad.

Press "Home" to exit.

Run Wad Manager again, when it asked what IOS to use Select IOS249.

Install IOS36.wad & HBC.wad

Exit Wad Manager 1.4 by pressing "HOME"

Now restart Wii by holding the power button (pressing the home button does not seem to work)

Homebrew channel should now be installed

Make sure your WIFI is Connected

Launch the HomeBrew Channel and run WAD manager (dont change the IOS) and install IOS60patched.wad, then restart wii.


Launch the homebrew channel again and run cios rev10 installer (this is the cool channel with funky music)

Make sre you Choose network install not wad instal (change by pressign left or right on the remote)

It may freeze at the end but dont panic just wait a few moments, your wii will then auto reboot into the system menu

Launch the homebrew channel again and run IOSdowngrader

Then press "A" to proceed

This Install Will take quite a while which is why i sped it up in the video

when its finished press any button to reboot the wii

Launch Homebrew Channel again and Run CIOSCORP and it shoudl automaticly start installing

This Again May take a while so i sped it up in the video

When it is finished press any button to reboot your wii

Your system Menu should be now Soft Modded =]

You now can play backup games just like the real games from the game channel.

Finally Run preloader 0.29 in the homebrew channel and press 1 to install. Then setup preloader
(or if you know what your doing, set it up how you like.)

Wow justeve... that is a pretty detailed explanation.. I am running 4.0u

I am sorry I am such a noob to the wii softmod process...

Have your tried doing this with the Bannerbomb hack? Or does the preloader do the same thing the bannerbomb does?

I read that the Bannerbomb method is better than the preloader... (if i am reading things correctly)

ugh.... so much info to decipher..

I've done quite a few in the past but l had'nt yet done a wii a 4.oe so l decided to try it for my self.
Its not hard but just do it in steps.
We were and some still are noobs.
Bannerbomb is just a way to be able to mod\run homebrew on a wii without using the twilight hack which can't be used on 4.0,its not the same as preloader.
Preloader can block updates on the disc,fix a semi bricked wii,launch homebrew and Force Disc Region plus other stuff,
