str2hax

In this guide, you will use the str2hax exploit to softmod your Wii.

Procedure

First, turn on your console. On the Wii Menu, press the Wii button in the bottom left. On the screen that follows, choose Wii Options.

Press the + button until you see the option labeled Internet. Press that option.

Then, choose Connection Settings, and click on the connection you are currently using.

Next, choose Change settings, and press the + button until you see Auto-Obtain DNS.

Select No, and then press Advanced Settings.

Change the Primary DNS to 97.74.103.14, and change the secondary DNS to 173.201.71.14. Don’t worry about any extra zeros. They are added automatically.

Once you have set the DNS, press Confirm, and then press Save.

Then, press OK. It will then begin a connection test.

When the connection test is complete, if it succeeded, say No to the System Update. If it failed, your ISP is blocking the use of custom DNS, and you will have to use an SD card and LetterBomb instead of str2hax.

Next, go back to the Internet settings, then press the User Agreements option.

Press Yes. You should see a blue background with a pony if the exploit is working. It should load the HackMii Installer Scam Screen within 2-3 minutes. If it doesn’t load in that time or your cursor is frozen and you can’t move it, force shutdown your Wii, turn it back on, and try again.

Once you are at the HackMii Installer Scam Screen, you may continue to the HackMii Installer
