boot2v4 is the version of boot2 found on most Wii's. It was initially released on the RVL-CPU-30 and broke older versions of the HackMii Installer in addition to providing hardware compatibility. It was later bundled in the 4.2 update to overwrite BootMii-boot2.

Update bug

Besides on boot2v1 units, this is the only time Nintendo ever pushed a boot2 update, and they did not test ES_ImportBoot very well, resulting in many bricks, which Nintendo refused to fix under the assumption that those Wii's had homebrew on them. For this reason, the HackMii Installer has a custom installer to install BootMii.
