![Mavi Bomba](/images/bluebomb.png)
Bluebomb is an exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini's Bluetooth libraries. Although it is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, BlueBomb can run on the original Wii as well. This exploit also enables recovery from certain bricks, such as a banner brick.
For the original Wii, we recommend using [another exploit](/get-started) instead if you intend to install the Homebrew Channel and/or BootMii.

This exploit will not work on a Wii U's vWii. Please follow [this guide](https://wiiuguide.xyz/#/vwii-modding) instead.

#### Bölüm I - Neye ihtiyacın var?
- A Linux machine
- If you are using a Chromebook, you do not need to install another Operating System; instead, enable [Linux in ChromeOS](https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en).
- If you have a Raspberry Pi, you can use that instead as it most likely has Linux preinstalled.
- Windows Subsystem for Linux will *not work* as it does not have direct access to the Bluetooth adapter or USB ports.
- If you do not have Linux, [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop) is the most user-friendly option and can be ran on computers running Windows or Mac.
- 32-bit devices will require [Ubuntu 16.04](http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/).
- You can [flash a Linux install to a USB flash drive](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview) instead of installing it to your computer.
1. Download the HackMii installer from [the BootMii website](https://bootmii.org/download/). (If fixing a Wii brick, you can get a boot.elf of whatever app you want to use to fix the brick.)
1. Unpack it and place the `boot.elf` file in your flash drive.
1. Connect the flash drive to the console. For a Wii mini, the USB port is on the back. For a normal Wii, use the bottom port. (or the right port if it's upright).
1. Turn on your console and navigate to the settings menu. On the top right corner you should see a 4-character code like the one in the picture below. This code is your Wii Menu version, take a note of this as you will need it later. Afterwards, turn your console off. (If you're trying to use BlueBomb to recover from a brick, you can assume your Wii Menu version is 4.3.) ![SystemMenuVersion](/images/Wii/SystemMenuVersion.png)
- If you have selected a Wii mini you will be asked to provide your region. This can be determined by the last letter of the Wii Menu version (`U` for **USA** and `E` for **PAL** models).
- If you have selected a Wii you will be asked to provide your Wii Menu Version (What you determined in step 4)
