Install Hermes cIOS 202,222,223,224

[stomp_442]

All links working - 9/3/13




If you followed a Wii softmod guide from HacksDen or used ModMii, then more than likely you already have all of the Hermes cIOS installed and do not need to follow this guide. An SD card is required for this guide.

Hermes cIOS is not compatible with vWii of the Wii U, do not install this to the Wii Mode of Wii U.

Install Hermes v4 (222,223) here. If you use uLoader, scroll down to the Hermes v5.1 installer.

Hermes cIOS (222,223,224) can be used to load games when Waninkoko's cIOS will not get the job done. This will come in handy if Waninkoko's cIOS is not compatible with your USB HDD. IOS222 is also good to get a FAT32 partition recognized with a backup loader (usb loaders). IOS223 may be needed to load some games, I normally use it to get the usb microphone recognized in music games.


You need IOS236 installed to run this Hermes cIOS installer. IOS249 may work for some, but with all the different versions of IOS249 some may not work, I have changed my guide to use IOS236. Feel free to try IOS249, if it don't work then revert to IOS236. If you have IOS236 installed then skip this part.

Download IOS236 v5 installer (requires HBC 1.0.7 or higher)

Install IOS236

1. Remove all GameCube memory cards. This step is very important.
2. If your Wii is not connected to the Internet, copy IOS36-64-v3351.wad to sd:/
3. Unzip the IOS236 Installer zip file and copy the IOS236 directory and its contents to sd:/apps. (You should now have an sd:/apps/IOS236/boot.dol file among others. It is important to also have sd:/apps/IOS236/meta.xml)
4. Run IOS236 Installer from the Homebrew Channel.
5. Read the startup messages then press 1
6. If your Wii is connected to the Internet, choose "Download IOS from NUS" with the D-pad, otherwise choose "Load IOS from sd card"
7. Confirm your choice with the A button
8. When prompted, push A to continue the installation
9. Read about what Step 2 entails and push the appropriate button (press 2) (do not press 1, this is very important, do not ignore it)
10. Push any button to exit when complete.

DOWNLOAD - install Hermes v4 .rar
source - uLoader v4.1 and cIOS installer v4, here

This installer will do a wifi install of the cIOS(s). If your Wii is not connected to the internet with a wifi connection then there are additional steps you must use.

additional steps for offline install

If your Wii is not connected to the internet, then you will need to do these additional steps. You will be downloading the required IOS's with NUS Downloader.


First, you will need NUS Downloader
Download NUSD v15a- HERE
Source - nusdownloader - Project Hosting on Google Code

If you need instructions about the use of NUSD then look here - NUS Downloader guide coming soon.

Now comes the hard part.

1. Use NUSD to download IOS60 v6174. You will now have a downloaded folder named 000000010000003Cv6174. Rename the folder to v6174.
2. Use NUSD to download IOS37 v3612. You will now have a downloaded folder named 0000000100000025v3612. Rename the folder to v3612.
3. Use NUSD to download IOS38 v3610. You will now have a downloaded folder named 0000000100000026v3610. Rename the folder to v3610.

Now that you have the 3 folders, you will be moving them to the 3 folders within the 00000001 folder. You should have all ready downloaded the package I provided called Install Hermes v4. Unzip that download if you haven't all ready. You will see a folder called 00000001. Open the 00000001 folder and you will see three more folders. This is how the 00000001 folder will look when you are done with it.

copy and paste the v6174 folder to the 0000003C folder
copy and paste the v3612 folder to the 00000025 folder
copy and paste the v3610 folder to the 00000026 folder

It should look like this.


Now, the 00000001 folder is ready to be used.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL

1. If you have previous installs of these IOS's, this installer will overwrite
   those previous installs. You will not have to remove or delete any previous
   installs of these IOS's.
   
2. Remove all GameCube memory cards and controllers, remove any disc that may be in the DVD slot, and unplug any usb device that may be plugged in. * This step is very important. Do not ignore it .
3. UnRAR the Install Hermes cIOS v4 archive and copy the cIOS_installer folder to sd:/apps/
4. copy the 00000001 folder to the root of your SD card (for offline install)
5. Start HomeBrew Channel and start the cIOS Installer
6. Read the warning message and push A
7. Select IOS236 to perform the install with D-pad left/right and push A
8. Select to Install Custom IOS 222 and select IOS38
9. Wait for download and installation to complete
10. Start HomeBrew Channel and start the cIOS Installer again
11. This time select Custom IOS 223 and select IOS37 merged with IOS38
12. Hermes cIOS is now installed.
13. Look below to install IOS202 and IOS224 from Hermes v5.1

If you are trying to do an offline install (files on the SD card) and the installer is trying to access the internet, you do not have the file setup correctly on the SD card, review the 00000001 folder and make adjustments.

If you are getting an error while using the installer, the cIOS you are using to run the installer maybe corrupt or not compatible.

If there was an error installing an IOS and you received an error,
you may have to use anytitle deleter to remove the IOS that gave an error
and then reinstall it. >> Never delete an IOS lower than IOS200 <<

IOS223 works with MH3, and various music games, and is needed to get the usb microphone recognized in nearly all games that use a microphone. If IOS223 doesn't work with Rock Band games, then try IOS222. Some newer games may require IOS224 [57].

Thanks to Hermes for his cIOS installer and Dr Clipper for his nice install guides and apps.

choice. If you have previous installs of these IOS's, this installer will overwrite
those previous installs. You will not have to remove or delete any previous
installs. You will need IOS223 (IOS37 base) to boot certain games.

Use this for wifi/network install (your wii is connected to the internet), download from the link above, unzip the rar, look in the apps folder, copy the cios_installer folder to the apps folder of your Wii SD card. Ignore any reference, in the guide, to an ios folder, unless you create your own, for offline install.

If you are getting an error while using the installer, the cIOS you are using to run the installer maybe corrupt or not compatible.

If you want an awesome icon instead of the boring default one, you can download this:

Personally I like the eye candy.

[nightstah]

That's pretty good

[JoostinOnline]

That's pretty good

Lol, and it would be even better if I made it.

I used to search for icons because I wanted my HBC to have more (eye) candy that Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. That is one I kept. It is based on Matriculated's icons. They are the best imo.

[JoostinOnline]

I just modified it so that you can use it for either version of hermes. I took out v4 and centered 222.

Hopefully this will work well enough.

Edit: I decided to do the same with a 249 one I had. If you make another guide for wanin's cIOS you might want it.

Yea, I was going to use one like that that displayed "cIOS installer", but thought I might use the original png just so the user may find the Hermes installer easier when viewing the HBC.

I've use Matriculated's icons before, nice icons. If you look at my GC guide at WiiHacks, click on the NeoGamma icon.

I made those two in png format so you could pack them with the boot.dol file. Just click on them to download the file.

[billyhamm]

i love to take more candies.... :P

I can see you are persistent, I will change it soon.



You got one that says v5.1 on it?

[JoostinOnline]

I can see you are persistent, I will change it soon.

Lol, I didn't mean it like that. I was just saying that you did have an option.
