  5. Once installed, press back and go to BootMii.
  6. If the main screen says you can install as boot2, do so. This gives you a level of brick protection that loads as part of the Wii’s boot process, and lets you load homebrew to fix the brick or restore from a NAND backup.
  7. If it does not say you can install as boot2, install as IOS. While this doesn’t give you brick protection compared to its boot2 counterpart, it will still allow you to make a NAND backup.
