Priiloader v.5 causes garbled text during install/uninstall

[GoogleCodeExporter]

using the lastest priiloader from the download page( I am using the xml with it 
as well before anyone asks and i also have the latest ios58 installed)

When trying to install or uninstall priiloader the whole screen turns to 
garbled text and the wii freezes and has to be shut off from the power button 
on the consoles.It even does this when just letting priiloader sit at its main 
screen where it gives the instructions on how to use the app.

The first time it happened it bricked the wii.
I reinstalled the system menu via wad manager and then tried the priiloader 
install again.Same thing happened this time except when i turned the wii back 
on after it froze it was not bricked.I turned the wii off again and then back 
on while holding the reset button.This time the priiloader install worked.

I thought it might be my sd card so i reformatted it and tried it again and 
still had all the same issues.

I then used the same sd card on a different wii and uninstalled priiloader from 
it and then reinstalled it again without a single issue.

Something else is causing this maybe something on the wii itself.
If there is anymore testing i can do to help try to figure the cause of this i 
would be glad to help.After today i will not have access to the wii that had 
problems with the priiloader install as my friend will be picking it up but i 
still have access to at least 2 other wiis at all times to try anything out on.

I'm not the only one with this issue check out the following thread and you 
will see its happened to at least 1 other person.

I saw this part "IOS58 in use by HBC" and was wondering if someone loaded the 
installer using wiixplorer would they get the same failed installer. If I had 
Bootmii in Boot2 I would test but I have no way to recover if I brick so I will 
leave it alone.

About the GBAturd stuff are you looking for another site?

I know I'm coming into this topic late, but I had the same problem when I went 
to install 0.5 the day it was released. It eventually bricked my Wii when I 
tried to hit +/A to install before the garbled text hit, because it froze right 
after. Fortunately I have BootMii in Boot2 so no harm was done. I also have my 
Wireless Disabled as others have mentioned.

I eventually got it installed by holding B or whatever button forces the CIOS 
to do the installation (I don't remember now).

I downloaded the new ios58(6176) tried the installer.
As before works with internet set.
Deleted settings, garbled screen. (it does actually install, but then gives 
garbled screen and you have to power off. Powering on again priiloader is there.

So no change with new version.

@daco65: I gess you should report the HBC bug as "severe" in HBC bugtracker, as 
priiloader is the only anti-brick solution that recent wii can use (when 
bootmii can not be installed as boot2).
Mabe this will speedup the resolution of this bug (and if it is exactly what 
you are thinking about, it should be really simple to solve).

thx

there can be no more of a speedup as there already is

they know about it
they know the source
they know the circumstances it happens in
they know how to fix it (i think. as my blog post says we suggest its the async 
network init but we aren't sure)

also, i looked at how to change the bug's stats after reporting but i can't :)

It seems that when you run the HBC through BootMii (-IOS in my case) the 
AHBPROT works fine, no problems on cIOS 236, Dop-Mii or Priiloader (ONLY 
through BootMii).

I tried it 3 times each (cIOS 236, Dop-Mii & Priiloader 0.5 install) already, 
and it all seemed to work fine when launched via BootMii and crashed when not, 
can't figure out why it doesn't work for some people, i sure hope the do fix it 
fast.

with a 0.5 download; but consider yourself lucky...
