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 do not recommend using BlueBomb if you intend to install the Homebrew Channel and BootMii, as there are more convenient exploits available.

#### Secção I - O que precisas
- Uma máquina Linux
  - A Virtual Machine may work, but it is not recommended due to its complexity in getting Bluetooth passthrough working. If possible, please use a LiveUSB as described below.
  - If you have a Raspberry Pi, you can use that instead as it most likely has Linux installed already.
  - 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/).
    - For 64-bit devices it is recommended to use the LTS edition due to its stability, but the latest release works as well.
  - You can [flash a Linux Live environment 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.
- Um adaptador Bluetooth.
  - Um adaptador Bluetooth interno funcionará.
  - Se não tiveres um, certifica-te que arranjas um com compatibilidade com Linux.
- Um USB flash drive formatado como FAT32.
  - Isto não pode ser o mesmo flash drive utilizado para a tua máquina Linux.

#### Secção II - Executar o exploit
1. Descarrega o instalador HackMii a partir do [site do BootMii](https://bootmii.org/download/).
- (Se estiveres a corrigir um brick, tu também podes copiar a aplicação homebrew que desejas utilizar em /apps/)
1. Extract it and place the `boot.elf` file in your flash drive.
- (Even for a Wii mini, bootmini.elf will **not** work, its purpose is entirely different and unrelated. Use boot.elf in all cases). 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 will 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. ![SystemMenuVersion](/images/Wii/SystemMenuVersion.png)
1. Inicia a tua distribuição do Linux, e certifica que estás conectado à internet.
1. Abre o Terminal
1. Executa os seguintes comandos:
```bash
wget https://wii.guide/assets/files/bluebomb-helper.sh
chmod +x bluebomb-helper.sh
./bluebomb-helper.sh
```
1. O ajudante descarregará os ficheiros necessários; e perguntará por informações sobre a tua consola.
  - Se tu selecionaste a Wii Mini, serás solicitado a fornecer a tua região. Isto pode ser determinado pela ultima letra da versão do Wii Menu (`U` para **EUA** e `E` para modelos ** PAL**).
  - Se selecionaste a Wii serás solicitado a fornecer a tua versão do Wii Menu (O que anotaste no passo 4)
1. Turn on your console and **do not** connect any Wii Remotes.
1. Pressiona o botão Sync repetidamente até ao terminal mostrar `got connection handle`. Poderá levar a numerosas tentativa, por isso não desistas.

Make sure that the console is close to the computer running the exploit, ideally it should be less than 3 feet.

The console should now boot to the HackMii installer. You can now shut down your Linux computer if you are not planning to use it later.
