The 4.2 update is a homebrew-blocking update that offers no new functionality. It is notable for updating boot2 to boot2v4 and bricking an unusual systems in the process; for this reason, it is not recommended to update past 4.1, although any unit past 4.1 is perfectly safe. To use newer IOS versions, use DOP-Mii.

Changes

September 29, 2009 (rev01)

  • Deletes the Homebrew Channel v1.0.4 (title ID HAXX) and below and DVDX v1 (title ID DVDX).
  • Now uses IOS70, based on IOS60 (which was stubbed).
  • Wii Shop Channel updated.
  • Most of the IOS's had their STM and ES modules updated.
    • ES_ImportTicket now deletes an old ticket from /tmp if needed before attempting to create a new one.
    • ES now supports v1 tickets in IOS56, IOS57, IOS61, and IOS70.
    • STM now has checks to not allow an event hook to be registered if the IOCTL output size is less than 4, and the event hook release IOCTL will not write a NULL byte to the original request's output if the size is below 4.
  • Updated IOS56 and IOS57, previously found only on discs. Probably the same updates as the other IOSes.
  • Updates your boot2 to boot2v4, overwriting BootMii/boot2.
  • Checks for region converted Korean Wii (checks for korean common key inside EEPROM) if so then brick with a 003 Error.
  • Improved region checking for discs and titles, the system menu now checks the Title ID from the TMD.
  • Updated BC and MIOS

October 21, 2009 (rev03)

June 22, 2010 (rev04)

  • Fixed IOS exploits
  • Replaced many IOSes with copies of other IOSes, reducing the total branch count
  • Added IOS58 and IOS80 to prepare for 4.3

What to do

Affected homebrew

Affected Effect Workaround
AnyRegion Changer Bricks the Wii when changing out of Korean region Run KoreanKii first to remove the Korean key.
Bannerbomb v1 Doesn't work. Bannerbomb v2, Smash Stack, or Indiana Pwns
BootMii BootMii will be overwritten by boot2v4 included in the update. Use HackMii installer to (re)install.
cIOS cIOS locations, primarily the ones used by pirates, are replaced by stubs. Install with a version above 65280 (such as 65535)
DVDX (1.0, installed by anything older than HackMii Installer 0.5) Removed by the System Menu upon bootup. Use HackMii installer 0.7 to (re)install. DVDX 2.0 will not be removed by the 4.2 update.
Homebrew Channel (1.0.4 and older) Removed by the System Menu upon bootup. Use HackMii installer v0.7 to (re)install. HBC 1.0.5 (and newer) will not be removed by the 4.2 update.
Preloader 0.29 Uninstalled due to a new System Menu. Since 4.2 uses IOS70, Preloader 0.29 will not work properly. Use Priiloader or patch ES_Identify into IOS70.
Gecko OS 1.9.2 Blank screen after loading. Since 4.2 installs a stub IOS249, Gecko OS 1.9.2 will crash when loading it. Use the latest Gecko OS.

Issues

According to bushing, "The [boot 2 update] code [from Ninty] is so buggy that we decided to write our own for the HackMii installer." There are some people who are bricking their Wii as a result of doing a standard update, whether or not they had hacks before they updated. It is therefore highly recommended that you do not upgrade until the ability to install BootMii plus boot2v4 in one go comes to the HackMii Installer.

Also if you have a region-converted Korean Wii (for example Korean to US), this update will brick your Wii and return "Error 003" on the screen. Run KoreanKii to remove the Korean key before updating.

Stub variant

The four cIOS slots stubbed all have identical code, totaling a size of 229376 per IOS. They were all built by kenshu@MAENORYU, and interestingly, IOS222 and IOS223 have the same build timestamp. IOS249 and IOS250 also share a timestamp, but it is different from the IOS222 timestamp.

The 4.2 stub variant was also used by the IOS52 stub released in 4.1rev02K.
