cIOS Installation

The cIOS (custom IOS) is a custom piece of software that is used by some applications that work with unofficial content.
By installing it, you can for example use Backup Loaders and install unofficial channels to your Wii menu.
Every cIOS uses an official IOS by Nintendo as its base.

While a cIOS is installed by most people for Backup Loaders, it is also needed by a handful of other applications to work.
There are many applications however that don't need a cIOS.
Most of the Homebrew Applications on Wiibrew only need the Homebrew Channel.


See below
Required
  • An SD Card (preferably non-SDHC) or USB device
  • Homebrew Channel installed (must be up to date!)
  • 2 cIOSs will be installed, which can be used by backup loaders and some other apps as well.


If you have no WiFi access on your Wii, follow these additional steps first. Else skip to the guide below.
The WiiU uses another method to get these WADs, so if you are softmodding a WiiU (vWii), you should skip these steps regardless.

Computer ----------------------
1. Start up NUS Downloader. If you don't have it, you can grab it on its page (or direct download link)
2. Make sure that 'Pack WAD' is enabled.
3. Using the database, navigate to the following files and press start NUS Download for each one:
  • IOS -> IOS56 -> v5661
  • IOS -> IOS57 -> v5918
4. Open the NUS Downloader directory (the folder where you placed NUS Downloader, you can use extras -> open NUSD directory to open it easily).
You will see a folder named titles. You will find two new folders in this directory:
  • 0000000100000038
  • 0000000100000039
In each folder, there is another folder for the version you just downloaded. Open this version folder and find a WAD file:
  • 0000000100000038 -> 5661 -> IOS56-64-v5661.wad
  • 0000000100000039 -> 5918 -> IOS57-64-v5918.wad
Copy both WAD files to the root of the SD card (or your USB device if you don't have an SD card).
Optionally, if you wish to verify that the downloaded WADs are correct, use a checksum tool (like fciv) to verify:
  • IOS56
    • MD5 = 5cdee6593cf0dacc18cf300b12166fde
    • SHA1 = 597c360e521ccd3062fd9c38c5369e691344d5e2
  • IOS57
    • MD5 = ac8bbbea38f29e8d8959badb3badf18e
    • SHA1 = b8fd4efbb6d7ae2f4e9328b3082901f5981701b1
Guide

Computer ----------------------
1. Start off by downloading the cIOS Installer (make sure to download the correct one):

Inside the zip will be an apps folder. Extract this folder to your SD card (merge with existing apps folder if needed).
Your SD card (or USB) should look like this:
SD
|- IOS56-64-v5661.wad (optionally, for Wii offline guide)
|- IOS57-64-v5918.wad (optionally, for Wii offline guide)
|- /apps
|- /d2x-cios-installer

Wii ----------------------
2. Insert you SD card (or USB) into the Wii.
Now locate the d2x cIOS installer and run it.

3. Wait for the app to load. Read the text on the welcome screen (if it interests you) and press A to continue.

4. You will now see the main configuration screen.
There are many different configurations you can make when installing cIOSs. This guide merely shows our own recommendations, based on the experience of the general community. They should work fine for 99% of all cases.
  • cIOS 249 base 56 v10 beta52
  • cIOS 250 base 57 v10 beta52
  • Your cursor ( > ) will be on the cIOS d2x Version. Change the version to v10 beta52 using the D-PAD (left/right).
  • Move down, and change the IOS Base to 56.
  • Move down again, and change the IOS slot to 249.
    • In some cases it may warn you that the current (c)IOS or IOS STUB will be overwritten. You can ignore this warning.
  • Move down, and change the cIOS revision to 65535.
    • This revision is only used by the Wii when checking updates. It is set to the highest version to prevent a system update from overriding it with a non-functional official IOS.
    • This option does not appear on the WiiU installer.
(note: in the screenshot below; the version is set to beta53-alt; we recommend using beta52 instead)

You are now ready to install, so press A to continue. You will land on an overview with the available cIOS slots.
The slot you just selected should be blinking. Several other slots may be highlighted in red or purple, depending on your console and possible previous softmods.


Wait for the progress to complete. It may take a while, especially for the online installation.
Once it finishes, you will land on another IOS overview screen.
Your freshly installed cIOS should be highlighted in a green color.
On the WiiU version, you will get a simple confirmation message instead.
Press the A button to go back to the configuration screen.
Next, you want to configure the second cIOS. This time, use the following settings:
  • d2x version: v10 beta52
  • cIOS base: 57
  • cIOS slot: 250.
  • cIOS revision: 65535

Again, press A to install it and wait for the process to finish.
Once everything is installed, press B to exit the application.


You are now able to run any backup loader you want! Enjoy!
We recommend you to use a USB loader.
USB loaders do not require DVD burning and have much better speeds and interfaces.



You just need an up-to-date Homebrew Channel installed, nothing else.
But what about the Trucha Bug Restorer / Dop-Mii / IOS236?
Those are outdated hacks, and using/installing them serves no purpose.
When should I follow the steps under 'Offline NUS Downloads'?
Those steps are for people who are softmodding a regular Wii and don't have WiFi on that console. The steps essentially pre-download some required files which are otherwise downloaded by the console itself. These files can not be included with the installer for legal reasons.
People softmodding a WiiU (vWii) can skip these steps regardless, since the installer will extract them from the console itself.
Can I use other cIOS configurations as the one in this guide?
Yes! As stated above, the configurations of this guide are recommendations based on various tests by the community. They should work for the majority of cases. But you are free to install different cIOSs in different slots. We only recommend to do this if our configurations don't work, though. If you do install your own cIOSs, make sure to select a slot above 200. Also don't use slot 254 (which is BootMii IOS).
What is the IOS base for?
Since building an IOS from scratch is not very easy; the cIOSs that we install merely apply some patches to the existing IOSs provided by Nintendo for the Wii. The IOS base determines what IOS the patches are applied to.
What is the IOS slot for?
The Wii is able to store multiple IOSs on its internal memory, with each IOS occupying its own slot. The slot is merely a number that tells the system where to load the IOS from. For example, IOS56 will be found in IOS slot 56. In order to avoid overriding the default IOSs that are installed on the system, cIOSs (which are custom IOS and thus occupy the same slots), are installed in slots above 200, which are empty or stubs by default.
What is the IOS revision for?
Each IOS has an internal version number. When an update needs to be done to an IOS, the version number is increased. The system, when it detects a newer version for an IOS, will prompt the user to start a system update. The revision of an installed cIOS is thus usually maxed out to prevent the system from overriding it with a non-functional official version.
What is NAND Emulation?
NAND emulation is an optional feature. It allows you to load things like virtual console games from a fake NAND (the internal memory of the console). This fake NAND (often called EmuNAND, Emulated NAND) is stored on the SD card rather than the console itself.
USB Loaders such as USB Loader GX and Wiiflow can create an EmuNAND and use it to launch titles.
What is the 'Current IOS' listed on the bottom of the installer?
This IOS is the one used to run the installer itself (all applications need an IOS to run). It has nothing to do with the cIOSs that are installed.
Do I need to install a cIOS to use Nintendont (GameCube Backup Loader)?
Nope. The cIOS is not used for GameCube backups. It is needed for Wii backups, though, and some USB loaders may need it to run.

FAQ:

Q: What's this good for?

A: The TBR is to get IOS with the trucha bug on all Wiis with system menu up to 4.1. Usually the error codes -1017 and -2011 indicate that the trucha bug is required and missing.

Q: What can i do to reduce the risk when using this application?

Short Wii Game Reviews + ISO Download. We are another type or a review site where after reading you can actualy download and play he game! WiiISO is not like your usual Wii Download site that only provides a list of Torrent files or even worth - an endless list of expiring RapidShare, MegaUpload, soon deleted HotFile and FileServe or FileSonic links that make you wait for every download to. All of the files are ready on your SD Card. If it did not copy everything automatically to your SD Card or USB Device, copy the WAD and apps folder next to RiiConnect24Patcher.bat to your SD Card or USB Device. Put your SD card or USB drive in your Wii. Carica l’Homebrew Channel sulla tua Wii. Launch Wii Mod Lite.

A: Have BootMii as boot2 installed and have a nand backup. If that's not an option and/or you want to reduce the risk as much as possible then:
Have 2 ways to start the TBR that do not depend on the same IOS. For example have HBC installed and be able to use bannerbomb, while the HBC must not use the IOS used by the system menu. On 3.2 for example the system menu uses IOS30, so if you start the TBR with bannerbomb then, the only used IOS until then is IOS30. The HBC uses different IOS depending on which IOS you have installed when you install it. When you press home in the HBC it tells you which IOS it is using.

Q: Can this brick my Wii?

A: Yes, it modifies system files, so it can brick your Wii. It's written to be as safe as possible and tested on a few Wiis, but nobody can guarantee it will not brick your Wii. It only modifies IOS15 and IOS36 which are not used by any system menu direclty. So it *should* be safe to use and if anything goes wrong, your Wii *should* not be bricked, just the IOS you modifed may stop working. Also please try to understand the above answer.

The highest brick danger comes from the stuff the TBR enables you to do, the stuff you could not do before!

Q: What are the requirements of it?

A: Access to some IOS files either by just having internet connection on your Wii or by getting IOS wads.

The TBR is only known to work on system menu 4.1 or lower. For installing a patched IOS36 or 37, you need an IOS with trucha bug. All IOS from system menu 3.2 and lower have the trucha bug, also the original PatchMii(installed IOS254) has it, the cIOS that many people have as IOS249 installed, and the IOS that is run with cBoot2. If you have none of these, use the IOS15 downgrade the TBR offers. But please only in this case, and after installing the IOS you want, please restore IOS15 again, i can't guarantee it works as it should, i only know it works to install patched IOS.

Q: How do i revert the changes i made?

A: If you donwgraded IOS15, use the restore option. If you installed patched IOS as IOS36 or IOS37, just install it again with no patches selected. The TBR should tell then to install IOS3x instead of install patched IOS3x.

Q: What exactly should i choose from the options?

A: This depends on what you want, if you want:

- to be able to use regular homebrew like AnyTitleDeleter(<-very dangerous application), you need a patched IOS36 with trucha bug and/or the identify patch. Which one you need depends on which app you want to use. This patched IOS has to be installed as IOS36, because all old apps only use IOS36.

- to be able to fully use fstoolbox(<- one of the most dangerous applications), you need an IOS36 with the nand permissions patch. Where you install it, does not matter since you can select which IOS to use in fstoolbox.

- to be able to use 'RawkSD, Rock Band 2 Custom DLC', you need an IOS37 with trucha patch installed as IOS37. The RawkSD package should already provide you with this, using the TBR to install it, is just an alternative to it.

- to be able to install preloader, you need to install a patched IOS36 with trucha and identify patch as IOS36. If you are able to use preloader then, i can't say, you need to ask somebody who knows more about it, or find a good guide to preloader that was written AFTER the boot2v4/LU64+ Wiis were discovered.

- to be able to use WAD Manager or any other applications from Waninkoko without installing the cIOS, you need to install a patched IOS36 as IOS249 with all patches. This is a as legal as possible way to install for example custom channels. Please note that most if not all these applications are dangerous, and even even something as simple as installing a custom channel can brick your Wii.

Q: I can't download the IOS from NUS, how do i get the necessary wads?

All Wii Ios Wadsworth

A: There are at least 3 legal ways to get IOS wads for yourself:

1. Extract them from game discs directly on your Wii using wufe
2. Download them at your PC with the NUS Downloader
3. Extract them from .iso files from backups you created yourself with Trucha Signer or WiiScrubber

All wii ios wadsworth

For the IOS15 downgrade you need IOS15v257 and IOS15v266, for the IOS15 restore you need IOS15v266, for IOS36 installations you need IOS36v3094 and for IOS37 installations you need IOS37v3612.

You may need to rename the .wads to the names the TBR expects.

Copying these files for other people and uploading them is illegal!

This application is based on PatchMii by bushing, svpe and tona and also contains code from:

  • Raven's Menu Loader Clone (IOS selection code)
  • Waninkoko's WAD Manager (WAD code)
  • AnyTitleDeleter (TITLE_UPPER and TITLE_LOWER)

(please notify me if you find other code from other people inside TBR)
