Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

Waninkoko has created a POC Video to a Firmware downgrade.. could this lead to a Custom Firmware? Only time will tell



SOURCE

UPDATE

waninkoko responds to fake accusations.

Those channels were channels that I had in another page hidden. They reappeared when I installed the older system menu.

Btw, I should try GC FreeLoader to see if it works

how did you get DBZ BT 3 not in the disc channel, and if you created with a banner maker, how did you get the banner off the disc

Nah, I just got DBZ BT3 opening.bnr from the disc and used it as banner for that channel.

Just one question Waninkoko: according to the video: why did the install start at 19.44 and finished at 20.01 while that video is just 2.35 minutes long ? did you shot/cut the video ?
Just curious, because I used to trust you and your works (ie your amazing tools), but I have to admit that this video looks really like a fake one.

20.1 is the date tongue.gif (btw, I need to setup this Wii xD)

Waninikoko, are you going to release this?

It is just a wad, correct?


this can be done already:

dump system menu 2.1
pack it correctly into a wad
install the wad using wad installer

Well, not as simple as that as the IOS won't let you install an older system menu.

I'll release it ONLY if it is useful someday and it is secure enough to avoid bricks.

UPDATE #2:

Even BUSHING has a comment on this (This comment is what i got from WiiNewz)

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

Well, this would be the easiest way to install CFW once it is made and tested. Shows a lot of promise for the future of Wii Homebrew

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

dunno if anyone noticed. but between 2:16 and 2:19, you can see an icon of budokai 3 next to the homebrew channel on the 2nd row. ISO loader???? and its NOT the DVD since you can see the disc spinning on the first channel

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

wow this is freaking awesome! but as of now i dont see whats the point of having a lower fw for the wii. This looks like we see some sort of CFW soon.

yeah i saw that Budokai 3 also, maybe its an ISO loader that Waninkoko is testing out?

The channel with the banner of DBZ3 is a channel that did some time for testing XD

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

Waninkoko and Team Tweezer seem to be our Dark_Alex metaphorically . That may change who knows.

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

Did anyone notice that when it went back to the menu, all new icons appeared. Wouldn't that mean another wii? This could be fake?

However the Dragon Ball Z channel, looks interesting

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

Has this guy released any other details about how to do this? Cause after taking a closer look at the video there is a good chance this is fake, while the system menu is loading up the av cable could  easily have been pulled out and plugged in to another wii.

He may vanish from the face of the earth!!

Come to think about it what happened to the Brazilian guy that had apparently cracked the PS3? All the vids of him showing it done "vanished", was this a fake?

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

Almost certainly fake, at the start of the video he has 8 icons on his system menu, there's 11 by the end of it. Also watch when the wii is 'resetting' the screen darkens to completely black ie. cables switched.

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

Bah! Nobody is going to believe this untill the have all the files to do it themselfs.

I mean come on half the time when you don't see files shortly afterward it turns out to be the BIGGEST pile of S**T.
If this is possible everyone should have access to the files to do it, this guy could be holding back CFW for F**K SAKE!

RELEASE FILES AND THEN WE SHALL BE BELIEVERS  tongue

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video

if this is true and it does get released without testing further. dont you think that about 80% of noobs will brick their consoles? I agree with you, i will believe it when i see it released but i also cant say its fake because anything is possible.

Re: Wii Firmware Downgrade POC Video
