Softmii error on IOS downgrader

[Killer_K]

Guys, i'm hitting an error on step 11 of Softmii guide when i'm running the ISO Downgrader...when i Start i get a screen which reads:
[+] intializing ISFS subystem ... OK
[+] intializing network, please wait .... Error! (ret = -116)

i get teh Error! (ret = -116) message afyter a minute of it running.

and then it says to reboot wii.

any idea what this is? i've tried it 4 times now but no luck. also Custom WAD Manager didn't run for me so i installed cIOS249r7.wad through WAD Manager.

i have wiiconnect24 set to OFF

Please ignore above as i've worked out why i was having this error.....i changed my WPA wireless key a few weeks back and wii was still set to the old key...hence, was not connecting to internet....

i just hit another issue...lol

i don't see Softmii NAND Browser listed in HBC i see Softmii NAND Dumper...is that the same. i have gone into it and see the followingL

Title >> 00000001>00000002> i then see two folders Content and Data

Content has the following four files in it >> title.tmd, 0000005e.app, 0000005d.app and 0000005c.app

this is on step 12 of softmii guide.

Can anyone please help with this?

Marra - many thanx my good man for recommending softmod and for your help - its all up and running mate after spending around 2 hours on it. I just wanted to check a few things with you mate, if thats ok.

I skipped two steps from the Softmii Guide, one is mentioned above which is step 12, and the other step i missed is step 29 as it seemed optional, so what i wanted to check with you was that am i all done now. Am i fully protected against updates and etc. as well as getting bricked?

on the preloader System Menu hacks i only "Enabled" the following three options:
1) Skip disc update check
2) Remove noCopy protection
3) Move disc channel

do these look ok to you or do i need to enable anything else?

and finally how do i get back into Preloader option menu, as i think i may need to change something in Settings, when using wii i press home button then i click on Wii Menu it always now throws me out to the black screen when you turn wii on and you have to press A to proceed. In the settings there was an option called 'autoboot' and 'Return To; for both of them i selected system menu as i was watching the youtube video but i think for return to i need to change the setting.

Cheers, K

no probs mate glad your sorted, to get back into the preloader menu just hold the reset button when you power on the wii m8, have a look at the last post in this link mate LINK that will explain the systemhacks on preloader. is step 29 the themes/tweak one i cant remember if it is mate your allright skipping that step and the step you skipped earlier. tbh honest mate i only changed 1 option in preloader settings and that was the top one to boot to system menu

i had the same problem too when i first tried to softmod my wii, but then figured out i wasn't connected to the internet, once i did, everything worked out fine.
