[Solved] Homebrew Update 1.0.5 - Causing BootMii and GeckoOs Freezes

ThatGuyYouMightKnow · Sep 30, 2009

So. The new Homebrew update.

It won't start through Bootmii, but when I go through the system menu, it refuses to load Brawl through Gecko. All I get is a black screen after the strap screen.

EDIT: My problem's fixed. For some reason excess files were causing Gecko to stop working after updating the HBC.

i have reason to believe its a problem with the update. Offsubject, but curiously, how many people actually have senyt their wii in to nintendo for disc read errors? i sent it in twice, and its starting to have read errors again

illinialex24 · Sep 30, 2009

Wii lasers are cheap, you might have to replace the overall drive.

Swordplay · Sep 30, 2009

I've sent mine in because the laser dies.

I run DVD's so I think that might have been and still is my problem. DVD's might put lots of stress on the wii laser but what do I know.

iLink · Sep 30, 2009

Mine is running perfectly fine with the new update.

My laser died out once on me but I haven't had a problem with it anymore.

Does the Brawl disc work through the disc channel? Have you tried running the No Homebrew method to see if its the disc and not the update?

Disc is fine. I tested everything. USBloader works too. The DISC isn't the problem; HBC Magically won't load through BootMii and it made Brawl stop loading correctly through Gecko somehow.

This all started RIGHT after I updated, and I don't like the new changes either.

just install preloader
it should have an option to skip the wii disc update

Homebrew Channel update, not System Menu update.

Video uploaded of what happens at every point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu_UD7PJdp4&fmt=18

SymphonicSage12 · Sep 30, 2009

mine is working perfectly fine. O_o

I installed bootmii as both an sd card thing and boot2, whatever that is. O_o

and I love how the new update makes it easier to navigate :D

It restricts me from scrolling left/right with the GC and Classic D:

SymphonicSage12 · Sep 30, 2009

no it doesnt.

you have to use the shoulder buttons do scroll left and right now. >.>

Epic Kovumon · Sep 30, 2009

This makes me worried about updating my Homebrew...

MBlaze · Sep 30, 2009

Ever since I updated my Homebrew I can't go into Homebrew from Bootmii and whenever I'm on Brawl though Gecko OS theres more freezes now. o_o The **** is goin on? D:

SymphonicSage12 · Sep 30, 2009

wtf? how are you guys having problems? O_O

I'm perfectly fine.

how is your bootmii installed? sd card or IOS etc?

Isatis · Sep 30, 2009

BootMii needs to be reinstalled

The reason is because it's trying to launch HBC via the "HAXX" ticket, where should be launching the "JODI" ticket.

illinialex24 · Sep 30, 2009

There is actually a patch for this, I'll get you the link:

Its meant for preloader though:

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=182751

ThatGuyYouMightKnow · Sep 30, 2009

Both of those suggestions won't fix the Gecko loading problem.

EDIT: And yes, I actually did reinstall BootMii. Still freezes.

Affinity · Sep 30, 2009

I'm having the same problem after updating, except none of my apps will load :/

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Grey Belnades · Sep 30, 2009

Hmm, how does the HBC update? Is it auto or does it ask?

Dai Tian · Sep 30, 2009

That I remember if you have an internet connection going when you start up HBC it gives you an option

Affinity · Sep 30, 2009

Just made a thread in the Wiibrew forums. Hopefully they can help fix this.

That happened to me. I just re-downloaded my apps and **** works now.

Thank you.

Redshad0w13 · Oct 1, 2009

How do you manually update bootmii? i forgot to update it with the auto updates

SymphonicSage12 · Oct 1, 2009

download the latest version on the comp and put it into your sd card ^

Affinity · Oct 1, 2009

~~Re-installing Bootmii fixed it for me.~~

Nevermind. However, it seems like this problem only happens with my HBC after Brawl freezes, for some reason.

Mario & Sonic Guy · Oct 1, 2009

I did update the HBC, and so far it operates without much issues. I guess that's because I never installed BootMii nor upgraded my System Menu (still on 4.0).

I'm on 3.3.

And I updated Bootmii but nothing.

Pichu4SSB4 · Oct 2, 2009

I fixed this problem, here is what i did:
I deleted the bootmii folder and boot.elf from my SD card, downloaded HackMii Installer v0.5 at URL REMOVED and put the boot.elf file from the download in the root of the SD card. Now go to Wii options and go to Wii channels, then click on SD card, click yes to load boot.elf. Now install BootMii as "boot2" (Don't know if this means much of anything, but it's at least what i did) and after i did this, my BootMii now loads Homebrew Channel fine. If it doesn't help you, i'm sorry.

But this isn't mah problem ;_;

I can't play Brawl+ anymore because Gecko refuses to load codes while HBC is there. SD Loader surely won't do the trick, all it is is Gecko Os.

Yeroc · Oct 2, 2009

I just updated today, and also forgot to reinstall bootmii.

I had to extract the whole installer to my apps folder on my SD card, and that allowed me to run it through the HBC (F:\apps\hackmii_installer\boot.elf) and then uninstalling/reinstalling fixed my problem.

Oh, well that's weird. It still loads fine for me. Try removing Gecko from your SD, then download it again.

SymphonicSage12 · Oct 3, 2009

Thank goodness I updated bootmii when I could when I was updating homebrew. D:

I did this twice, one because I had a "fake" gecko app on it (I don't know @_@) and two because I just wanted to try again. No dice.

HBC would NOT be causing Gecko to be stupid like this...yet this is only happening because of 1.0.5.

Affinity could you make sure you mention my problem and the Video I posted in Wiibrew? They didn't seem to actually try reading. D:

MBlaze · Oct 3, 2009

Is there a fix for this yet? -___- It's getting quite annoying.
