IOS58 failed to load

[TitoLag]

Nintendont Loader is version 4.425 (Wii) Built from october 14 2016 Firmware is 58.24.32

I start Nintendont from HBC. When opening the following message is shown in red before taking me back to HBC.

"Failed to load IOS58 from NAN: IOS_Open("/sharedI/content.map") returned -102"

The boot.dol and meta.xml are the last on this site.

The metal.xml does have the line

I have tried to re-install IOS58 and re-install HBC after.

I had DIOS MIOS installed but removed it and replaced the MIOS with the latest from NUS.

This is my sysCheck: Region: NTSC-U System menu v513 - l'IOS58 (rev 6175) Hollywood v0x11 Device ID: 68497427 Boot2 v4 96 titles found 32 IOS 17 'IOS Stubs'

Am I doing something wrong?

[carnage702]

do you have something inserted on memcard slot b?

[GerbilSoft]

58.24.32 and IOS58 v6175 don't match up. (It should be v6176.)

Besides that: What version of HBC do you have installed?

[TitoLag]

Just changed from IOS58 v6175 to v6176. No change.

I am using HBC v1.1.2 (latest I think)

I had a memcard at first but removed it seeing somewhere it would cause problem.

No USB plugged and my SD card is 32 Go if that can be of any use.

Is it normal that the meta.xml of Nintendont show v4.417 but when starting it shows v4.425?

My xml:

[carnage702]

if you have a ninconfig.bin or controller.ini on the root of your sd card try to delete them. Also nintendont uses the unmoded latest ios58 by nintendo to work. so if you installed some sort of modded one like the old days, nintendont will not work.

[TitoLag]

There is no such files in my root, probably because it is the first time ever trying to use Nintendont.

The IOS58 I'm using is the one downloaded using NUS, installed using MMM.

I did not install any mod that I'm aware of since this is my first time hacking my Wii. I hacked it like one week ago.

[carnage702]

is your homebrew channel the normal homebrew channel? not a mod or animated, color changed or something?

[TitoLag]

I used this site to download HBC : http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel

[carnage702]

all i can think about is that somehow maybe you got a corrupt nintendont boot.dol? or installed some wierd cios that is messing up with ios58.

try redownloading nintendont boot.dol from here.

If it still fails try this, remove your sd card, find a random flashdrive formated to fat32, put the apps folder there and atleast a single game, and see if it boots striaght from usb with no sd card inserted.

[TitoLag]

I will try this when I get home.

I just remembered something. I once tried to install IOS249 (without knowing what it does).

I found the tutorial that I followed: http://gwht.wikidot.com/ios249

Is it a possibility that I have selected IOS 58 as the base instead of 56 or 57?

Can it cause a problem with Nintendont if I really did this? Is there a way to list all non original IOS on the Wii so I can remove them all?

[TitoLag]

Okay so I redownloaded nintendont boot.dol.

Tried the USB alone. Still the same problem.

Reinstalled IOS58, 56, 57, 249 and 250 to be sure.

Reinstalled HBC.

Problem still persist.

[carnage702]

something on your wii is off and killing nintendont, im all out of ideas really.

[TitoLag]

Is there a way to restart from scratch?

I didn't know of the NAND backup until it was too late sadly.

[carnage702]

afaik no, becuase nand and ios cant be "formated" even if you format your wii memory, those wont go away or change.

[GerbilSoft]

Are you able to copy nand:/shared1/content.map to SD or USB when using WiiXplorer? (I seem to remember it has a NAND file browser, though I'm not 100% positive - if it does, it should show up in the Devices list as "nand".)

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiXplorer

[FIX94]

content.map is a very important file, without it his wii wouldnt even run. we gain access to that file with this patch: https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/blob/master/loader/source/main.c#L240-L253 so whatever he loads possibly does not use IOS58 to load nintendont.

[GerbilSoft]

Maybe it's not finding the right thing to patch. I'll add some instrumentation and error codes to InsertModule() and post a test build later tonight.

@FIX94 I'm a bit confused here - are inhdr and outhdr supposed to be pointing to the same thing?

Elf32_Ehdr *inhdr = (Elf32_Ehdr*)(Kernel+loadersize);
unsigned int size = KernelSize;
char *buf = Kernel;
Elf32_Ehdr *outhdr = (Elf32_Ehdr *)(buf+loadersize);

[carnage702]

just wondering is your homebrew channel base ios58? it should say on the top left corner if you press minus i think or is it 1? well whatever on top right screen of homebrew channel it should say the ios version.

[TitoLag]

Ok I feel very stupid right now.

I just realized, while using WiiXplorer, that my meta was meta.xml.txt My computer broke so I was using the computer of my father. The Windows on my father's computer hides the extension, so I was seeing meta.xml. I changed the extension and everything works fine now.

Again sorry for all the trouble!

[GerbilSoft]

I highly recommend disabling hiding file extensions, since that's a known exploit vector. (e.g. files named CatPicture.jpg.exe). The method differs based on Windows versions, but it's usually some menu option in Explorer.

That having been said, it's good to see you got the issue resolved. I'm still going to add extra error handling to InsertModule() since it makes sense to do so.

EDIT: InsertModule() is called after LoadKernel(), so that actually won't do any good here. Oh well.

[VsVsV5]

i have a same problem. problem. See the screen

[carnage702]

if you have the same probem you can try his fix he had hidden extensions and had the meta.xml.txt instead of being just meta.xml

[VsVsV5]

Here everything is more complicated. My files are properly named and the text of the error is different (carefully look at the screenshot)

[carnage702]

if you have a bad ios 58 you need to reinstall it, so without a syscheck we have no idea what you have, same way for a homebrew channel based on ios58 and not ios 61 or 63 or whatever.

[VsVsV5]

I don't know if my ios 58 is bad or not, but I tried to reinstall it, but it was unsuccessful. Also I did a syscheck

good god all your ios are patched lol including ios 58 lol you need a clean ios58 version unpatched version 6176 jesus what the hell did you do to your wii? every ios is patched when you only need like 2 or 3 patched for every homebrew lol.

[VsVsV5]

Sorry, but I do not know much about this). When I bought the console, it was already installed. What can I do with this?

In addition, I tried recently to install IOS58-64-v6176.wad. But the installation was unsuccessful

[carnage702]

like i said your system is a damn mess everything and i mean everythig is patched and cios everywhere, i advice going in the gbatemp forum on the wii secction and ask there you may need to unistal that ios58 to install the real one since its a lower version number but i dont know the ways or tools to do that, people on the gbatemp forum will help you.

[VsVsV5]

ok

[pawhtiobo]

Just to clarify, this kind of massive patches on the IOS are usually made by "Pimp my Wii" or similar applications, that are a kind of auto-softmod...

I found this, to help you reinstall the original IOS 58:

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS58_Installer

[VsVsV5]

I already tried this method (I entered the HBC and chose to install iOS58), but the installation failed.

[pawhtiobo]

Also found this:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/looking-for-help-to-install-ios58.362842/

Not a similiar problem, but it says you can use NUSD ou ModMii to dowload IOS 58.
