Will this remove all traces of the channel?.

Ofcourse, either use the uninstall feature of the installer, or just remove it as any other ordinary savegame or channel through 'data management' in the Wii settings menu.

For example, on a Windows system, you would go to control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables to set it up, and on a Linux or Mac OS X system you would do 'export WIILOAD=tcp:192.168.0.30' (if that was your Wii's IP address check this by hitting the Home button on your WiiMote.) For the ease of use on windows we suggest creating a shortcut to wiiload.exe on your desktop, and then you can simply drag&drop your file on the shortcut to send it over.

You need to set an environment variable - WIILOAD - to point to your Wii's IP address.

Simply either click the network icon (lower right corner) with your Wii Remote, or hit Z on the Gamecube controller to reinitialise it.

The networking seems to fail every now and then.

You can navigate using the WiiMote cursor, WiiMote buttons or a Gamecube controller. Use the official client wiiload or a compatible 3rd party application.

The Homebrew Channel: Frequently Asked Questions

Maybe, but it's more likely that a failpack prevents the installer from working correctly.

The installer seems to hang, and I can't get past that scam screen.

QUOTE: It refuses to run on those IOS's because the earlier versions of cIOScorp scooped out your Wii's innards and turned them into delicious Scrambled IOS Breakfast™, which confused the crap out of their installer and gave TT all sorts of bizarre errors to scratch their heads over. You're basically on your own, for the sake of your Wii: get rid of the failpack. Other failpacks are less destructive, but that still means its not a good idea to use them. In particular, 'cIOSCORP' is known to be problematic because some idiot decided it would be smart to take some old version of IOS, change the version number, and overwrite all other IOSes. In most cases, however, this means you have installed some sort of 'mod pack' (we refer to those as 'failpack') which leaves your system in a damaged state that interferes with our system scan.

If you have recently installed an official update, this may mean that all of our existing exploits have been patched in this case, please wait patiently for us to update the installer.

The HackMii installer is the only program that can automatically make non-trivial system modifications on all Wiis.

The installer tells me that it couldn't find a vulnerable IOS or something? What's that about?.

That would be the most stupid idea ever to harm your Wii.

That's correct, read more about it here.

But I heard that the v4.2 update comes with some essential bootloader update, and there are certain risks that might render my Wii unusable? Just update through the official means if you really want to. There are risks, and some packs are made of fail.

But if I wanted to update my Wii, should I use one of those many homebrew update packs?.

No, everything just works with all system menu versions.
