The first thing to do is to download Bannerbomb. It can be downloaded by clicking here.
This is pretty simple to do. Just launch the 3.4 Homebrew Channel Installer (it can be found here) with Bannerbomb. For most of you, this will reinstall the Homebrew Channel on the System Menu of your 4.0 Wii.
Recovering the Homebrew Channel from your SD Card
To do this, you must patch your Wii's IOS 60. There are a couple of methods you can try to do this:
1)Run WiiSCU with Bannerbomb and tell it to install a patched version of IOS 60 (AKA IOS 60 +Trucha).
2)Download my patched IOS 60 WAD and install it by running WAD Manager with Bannerbomb.
After patching IOS 60, you'll be able to run the HBC from the SD Card Menu and you'll also be able to move it back to the Wii System Menu.
Hopefully, at least one of the methods listed above will recover your Homebrew Channel. Again, for most people, they will work. I know a number of people who have had success with these methods. Good Luck :D
(If you were able to successfully recover the Homebrew Channel thanks to the methods listed in this post, please pass around the link of the this post so that others may be able to do the same as well. And, if you're feeling generous, donate a little money ;) )

Tested this on 3 (4.0) Wiis. The WiiSCU method worked fine on the first two but failed on the third. However, the WAD method worked fine on the third Wii. Also, I realized I can now run all of my custom and injected channels again from the SD Card and Wii Menu again :D
