There are two methods described in this guide. Online and completely Offline installations. The Online installation is the safer method. They should both work on ANY Wii besides LU64+. You only need to use one guide, they both do the same thing. Please read the entire thread including FAQ before asking a question.

Online Downgrade/Upgrade
Prerequisites:
–SD card
–Wifi Connection (Ethernet doesnt work)
–Unplug any Gamecube Memory Cards, Gamecube Controllers, USB Devices
–Read the FAQ and be prepared with a general knowledge of Wii Homebrew
http://rapidshare.com/files/267292697/wii_soft_mod.rar1) Format your SD card to FAT16. Copy the contents inside the sd folder to the root of your SD card
If you have bootmii with a nand backup, the homebrew channel, and cios installed already you may skip to step 8
2) Insert the SD card in the Wii and go to Data Management>Channels>SD Card press YES on the dialog box that asks to load boot.dol
3) Install the Homebrew Channel and install BootMii as boot2 if possible or as an IOS if boot2 is not available.
4) Launch Bootmii (if you installed to boot2 just reset the system if you installed to IOS go to the HBC and press the Home button)
5) Open the config menu (gears) and choose backup NAND (green arrow) wait for it to finish and restart the Wii
6) Run Trucha Bug Restorer and choose "IOS36" and pick "Downgrade IOS15" and "Download IOS from NUS" then restart
7) Run Trucha Bug Restorer again and choose "IOS15" then "IOS36 menu" set "IOS to slot 36" and "yes" "yes" "yes" to the 3 options then press "Install patched IOS36" and "Download IOS from NUS"
Install cIOS36 rev10 to IOS249 using Network install mode
9) Downgrade system IOS files using IOS Downgrader
10) Downgrade to 3.2 using cIOS Downgrader even if you are already on 3.2 run this
11) Run 4.1 Firmware-Updater.
12) Using Dop-IOS install IOS60 v6174 with Sig Hash Check.

Offline Downgrade/Upgrade
Prerequisites:
–SD card
–Unplug any Gamecube Memory Cards, Gamecube Controllers, USB Devices
–Read the FAQ and be prepared with a general knowledge of Wii Homebrew
http://rapidshare.com/files/267292697/wii_soft_mod.rarThis package contains instructions on how to acquire the necessary files from Nintendo to do an offline update
This package will work on ANY Wii! Virgin or Nintendo Official Updated without cios!!
1) Extract the files somewhere on your hard drive such as C:wii and run prepare.bat and choose your desired version
2) Check that the WAD files are correct with MooSFV. If any files are not correct run clean.bat and start over
3) Format your SD card to FAT16. Copy the contents inside the sd folder to the root of your SD card
If you have bootmii with a nand backup, the homebrew channel, and cios installed already you may skip to step 10
4) Insert the SD card in the Wii and go to Data Management>Channels>SD Card press YES on the dialog box that asks to load boot.dol
5) Install the Homebrew Channel and install BootMii as boot2 if possible or as an IOS if boot2 is not available.

11) Run WAD-Manager_v1.4 again. Choose IOS249 and install WADs 01-18. If WAD Manager freezes during installation just try again from the WAD it froze on.
12) While still in WAD Manager install SystemMenuv###.wad
13) It is highly recommended that you install preloader to prevent bricks. On the install screen press 1

You can now use Backup Loaders and run Virtual Console and WiiWare from the SD Channel!
I recommend Backup Launcher NeoGamma for Wii Backups
http://rapidshare.com/files/267297475/neogamma_002_error_fix.rarIf you want Gamecube backups install the custom MIOS and use Gamecube Backup Launcher 0.2
You can also now install a USB Loader. I reccomend USB Loader GX
If you want to load games from the disc channel you must install CIOSCORP
The following section applies to both Online and Offline installations.
NOTE: NO ASKING FOR LINKS TO CIOS WADS
This section has some risks and is OPTIONAL
if you follow instructions you will be fine.
1) Put WAD Manager 1.3 on your sd card
http://www.teknoconsolas.tv/wanin/WAD-Manager_v1.3.zip2) Install the CIOSCORP WADs
can be found in Softmii or MiiWii packages
3) Install CIOS60BF.wad
google "CIOS60HK.zip" or get "cios60.wad" from the offline guide
4) Your system menu will now say "System Files Corrupt" but dont worry! just hold reset and launch the Homebrew Channel and install Preloader 0.29 AGAIN
5) Enable update blocker in preloader. Hold RESET and power on. Change preloader options and hacks
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix Homebrew Channel going to a black screen?
reinstall it with bannerbomb
What if I cant install Bootmii? What if the NAND backup fails?
Chances are you will be fine, its just another security measure which I have never needed to use.
Is my console BRICKED!?
If you have Bootmii boot2 or preloader then you are fine. Turn your Wii OFF to the RED light and then hold RESET and turn it on then load the HBC
If you have cIOS installed run cIOS Downgrader
If you dont have cIOS installed use the Offline Downgrade method
Will this work with Softmii? MiiWii? old version of cIOS? etc
Theres no need to uninstall anything first. You can install CIOSCORP on 4.0 using this guide
Will this work with Starfall? Preloader 0.28?
No. You MUST use Preloader 0.29. Starfall hacks wont work on 4.0. Use the latest preloader hacks.ini
Do original discs work with/without CIOSCORP?
Yes. CIOSCORP and CIOS60 only affect Backup Discs
How do I fix the error when installing preloader "current IOS(36) has the fakesign bug fixed"?
Install "IOS36-64-v1042.wad" which can be found on a disc or using the Offline Pack
How do I fix (X)?
Chances are you messed up directions somewhere. Start from Step 1!
