LetterBomb: Wii System Menu 4.3 Jailbreak

not tried it myself i do not have a wii



As with anything related to the Wii, once you have an exploit installed or The Homebrew Channel installed, DO NOT update the Wii console if it asks you to. Future updates kill homebrew unless another exploit is found.

A new interesting LetterBomb exploit/jailbreak has been released for the Wii that involves exploiting the Wii System Menu messaging center. This exploit is aimed for enabling homebrew on System Menu 4.3, however it may work for older system menu versions.

Today we are announcing a project that changes this completely and removes the requirement for an exploitable game.

In memory of BannerBomb, we present you with LetterBomb, a brand new System Menu exploit that will allow you to enable homebrew with the push of an envelope (no stamp licking involved)

This exploit reuses (and abuses) some of some Nintendo’s Wii Messageboard functionality.

…and the requirements, along with the instructions:

Whats required?
1. A Wii running System Menu 4.3 (E/U/J/K)
2. SD card with some free space
3. Wii’s WiFi MAC Address (visit the Wii’s system settings (under internet))

How to?

1. Visit

http://please.hackmii.com/

on your pc and enter the required information.
2. It will download a zip package with everything needed inside. Extract this to the root of your Wii’s SD card.
3. Now navigate to the “messageboard” (Message Icon) on your Wii in the default view browse to “yesterday” (sometimes it may be in “today” depending on your timezone.
4. Now you should see an envelope, select it and hope for the best.

And that’s pretty much it. Once the exploit works, you’re free to explore the world of homebrew. Good luck!

Let us know how you get on axxxo,i haven't gotten hold of the other one to test it out yet,it realy looks straight forward enough

This looks like the Dog's Bobby, and so much simpler than the smash bros brawl/ indiana jones expoit, and having to track down those games.
here is a You Tube Video showing how easy it is:-

Works like a charm lads :)
Took a minute for me to find the letterbomb though as it just appeared as a normal message until i moved the cursor over it, then it changed to the letterbomb picture shown in the video.
Now, gotta go back up the nand an all that crap again :)
think we'll sticky this one!
