Firmware Help

[Bd337]

I'm trying to sell my wii to a friend. The only problem is that he wants the wii to be cleared of EVERYTHING including game files, wiishop channel account, and any updates I did to it. Unfortunately for me I don't know how to get rid of the recent firmware update.....Can someone explain how to do this or is it impossible without a modchip?

the most you can do is format system memory, from the wii options,

whether that gets rid of firmware im not sure?

try it and find out, if it doesnt i dont think its possible

Yea, I did that and the new firmware update is still on my wii I got rid of all of my channels, wiishop account, and i formated the wii(twice now). So it's basically impossible??

[daviduk200]

unfortunatly i think that there is no possible way.

Unless there is Wii downgrade program (like the psp).. search that on google

You can try reformatting the console, but I don't think even that will downgrade the firmware update.

Its a funny thing you should mention that because when i google for the firmware downgrade all that shows up is the psp downgrade. I also posted this thread on another wii forum and one of the users posted that my best option was to buy another wii. It sucks though cause im trying to sell it, not buy another one I'm going to email nintendo to see what their solution is

why would your friend want an older version of the firmware? firmware updates are released to make improvements on the current or older firmware. unless he wants to mod chip the wii and the mod chip only works on older firmware im not sure?

definately no way to downgrade the wii firmware unless somebody comes up with a way to do it with an SD card or something somehow

If he bought it off you with a lower firmware, he would be forced to update it anyway or he would not be able to play online.
