New Info on the *Working Title* Exploit
April 10th, 2009

Some of you have doubted the BaNNeRBoMB exploit that was released, and some of you will be corrected. In response to some of the hullabaloo that has taken place over the validity of this exploit, the same author that has posted the old video to his channel has posted a new video to his channl demonstrating the hack, which can be seen below:
A quote from the author of the video:
(bannerbomb was a stupid name)
So here is the proof that everyone has been wanting, this has the dol loading code implemented. It only technically works on 3.2 at the time being but its a small fix to get it to work for the other versions(including 3.4 and 4.0). Comex is a bit busy right now so those versions will follow soon(like tommorow or the next day).The exploit is very simple, just put the file on your sd card(which will be a channel).
Go to the SD channel menu and a dialog will popup, hit yes and it will load boot.dol fromt he root of the sd card. It can load any dol so this means you can run homebrew on a wii with ease if you don’t want to fully mod your wii.
What? We already have a projected release point, and it will likely be within the week! This is an awesome achievement for the community, and we will definitely try and bring you this exploit to you as soon as possible.
Thank you Comex!!!
If this hack is real then it appears to use the Wii’s maintenance mode, any download files so I can test this new exploit out on an unmodded Wii?
I believe its possible to enter maintenance mode on any wii.
lol yeah to enter maintenance mode all you have to do is hold the + and – at start up lol but back to the subject at hand.
This is great, GREAT JOB Comex can’t wait to start running homebrew on 3.4 and 4.0 soon
I can’t wait for the 4.0 version to be released so I can do this. Hopefully its this week!
Sweet, i still don’t have HBC so as soon as this is released, i will install straight away
I have a 4.0U Brand New system. After this exploit is applied what is the suggested method to get to the point where I can use ISO Loader? Would I need to wait for a downloader so I could then run a patched 4.0U from Wanikoko? I am just trying to figure out where to go after this exploit is released.
Thanks!
wow this looks amazing.. been having problems with the twilight hack and i think this would be great for me. Can’t wait tell it comes out, where would one find the link for this wonderful new hack?
it isnt released yet
Does anyone know anymore info about bannerbomb?
Like an idiot, I updated to 4.0, but before I did, I formatted my wii and lost everything, HBC, Wad manager… I have a chip, but sure would be nice to get HBC going again…Can’t wait for this!!!
has this been released yet?
its been almost a month.. is it released yet?…
nope and i doubt it.
They just made it say maintenance mode…it used to say message 1
