Once you reboot you should be met with the BootMii loader which gives you the options of booting your Wii, going straight to the Homebrew Channel, exploring the SD card or setting some options. Once you have done both of those you will have no more options then to close the installer and restart your Wii. Make sure you install both the Homebrew Channel and the HackMii installer. You are going to want to follow the instructions on the screen. This will reboot your Wii and begin the exploit and install process. Go to the message board and go back to the previous days until you see the red letter (probably will just be going back one day) and then click on it. Ok put the SD card into the Wii and turn it on like normal. If you are worried about damaging your Wii Save files and other information I'd suggest backing up the entire SD card or placing this exploit on a different FAT formatted SD card and then moving the files installed after the exploit is finished to your original Wii SD card. Now all you will need to do is unzip this archive and move the contents over to your Wii SD card root. Now I have no idea what the difference is between cutting the red or blue wire is (maybe I missed that instruction but I doubt it) but lets just do what I did, fill in the Captcha and click Cut the Red Wire and your download will begin. Also make sure the 'Bundle the HackMii installer for me!' is selected. Turn on your Wii and go to your system settings and grab your MAC address and type it into the boxes.

Read up about the exploit first, just to get an over view of what you are doing. This is the easiest way to do the exploit as well, there are other instructions out there but this works with little to no hassle. You are going to want to use the LetterBomb exploit which is for the newest Wii Menu 4.3U(E/J/K) and luckily the easiest exploit I have ever seen for the Wii. So here is my attempt to help anyone who wants to soft mod their Wii and as a bonus how to rip and load games via a USB drive. The little instructions there are seems to be outdated or written to be as vague as possible.

But after getting it all to happen I learned something important, there is almost no instructions out there on how to get all of this to work correctly. This has breathed some new life into my Wii and has been an interesting experience. After getting a new set of component cables for my Wii I decided since the Wii was essentially EOL it was time to soft mod it.
