Update any existing softmod. I followed your guide, last week, last month, whatever, how do I update? I followed another guide, and I'm now ready to update using this guide, how do I update? There have been many questions about this aspect, and here is our attempt to help you make an informed decision about how to proceed.

There is absolutely no reason to "virginize" your Wii in order to apply a new softmod. Do I need to update my softmod? While new versions of CIOS, etc offer new fun features, and better compatibility, if everything is working properly, updating is completely optional.
There is some truth to "If it ain't broke..". The counterpoint to this is that newer CIOS do support newer games better in many cases, so doing an update might help in the future. If something is not working as expected, in many (most) cases the first troubleshooting tip will generally be to update. Hopefully this gives you some perspective and enough information to make an informed decision.

How To Hack Your Wii For Homebrew In 5 Minutes. Hacking your Wii hasn’t been difficult, but it has required a somewhat detailed process. Now we have Letter. Bomb, which is an incredibly simple way to hack your Wii. It only takes about five minutes to accomplish. Here’s how to do it.
Music by Comptroller. First things first, you’re going to need the following: A Nintendo Wii, obviously, but make sure it’s running System Menu 4.
An SD or SDHC card with some free space — it can have other stuff on it. Step One: Get Your Wii’s MAC Address. Before we can do anything, we need to go find your Wii’s MAC Address. Go to your Wii’s home screen and click the Wii Options button. Once it loads, choose Wii Settings. From there, navigate to the second page and click the Internet button.
Finally, click the Console Information button and you’ll have your Wii’s MAC address. Either write this down or just leave it up on your screen. Step Two: Generate the Letter. Bomb. zip File. Now get on your computer and go to please. Wii’s MAC address.
You’ll also need to type in what you see in the captcha image. Once you’ve filled those things out, cut the red or the blue wire.
It doesn’t really matter. This will generate a Letter.
Bomb. zip file that will start downloading. Step Three: Prepare the SD Card.
Now insert your SD or SDHC card into your computer, because we’re going to need to copy some files onto it. First, unzip the Letter. Bomb. zip file on your computer. Next, drag the contents of the zip to your SD or SDHC card. When it’s done copying, eject it, and put it in your Wii. Step Four: Open the Letter. Bomb. Back on the Wii, head on over to the Wii Message center.
There’s going to be a new message for you with a bomb in it, but where that message is going to be will depend on your time zone and when you generated the file. In most cases, it will be in yesterday’s mail, but it could be today or a couple of days ago.
You’ll know when you see it. When you’re ready to pull the trigger, just click on the Letter.
Bomb message icon. The process will take about a minute, so be patient. You’ll have a hacked Wii when it’s done.
If you run into any issues along the way it’s probably because you don’t have the right version of the Wii System Menu. If you try to use Letter. Bomb with the wrong version, it’ll freeze your Wii. Not to worry — just force- reboot your Wii, make sure you update properly, and try again. Obviously you want to do the update beforehand, but in the event you forget it’s not really a big deal. Step Five: Install Boot.
