IOS15


IOS15 was previously used by some official channels; it has not been stubbed because the Internet Channel, which could not be updated through standard updates, previously used it.

Technical info
TypeSpecialized IOS
StatusActive

This IOS contains the NAND Boot Program; it seems to be a slightly modified version of v1.21 that patches the Internet Channel.

In the past, this IOS was often used by homebrew, as it is one of the only known IOSes that is safe to downgrade on RVL-CPU-20 Wiis. It was then used to patch the signing bug back into newer IOSes, like IOS36.

The only difference between IOS14v257 and IOS15v257 is that the NCD version changed; this was most likely to allow IOS15 to be updated without causing problems with Pokémon Battle Revolution.

None of the latest versions of these titles use IOS15.
