Decryption hasn't succeeded yet (probably will retry)

[AVO-Electronics]

I did a stupid thing, I removed the 'Don't Steal Mac OS.kext'. I was under the impression with FakeSMC I didn't need it. I first backed up the kext then removed it. Now whether that was the cause of my trouble or not I don't know, because I forgot to run Kext Utility to clear caches etc.

So now when I boot I get 'Decryption hasn't succeeded yet (probably will retry)' and the system fails to boot, it simply iterates that warning.

So, I figured I'd start the system ignoring caches (iHack Boot) but that never worked. So I assume I needed this DSMOS.kext after all. I tried to return the kext to it's extension directory via the backup I made.

So I booted with the Retail disc into terminal, moved the kext directory back into /S/L/E and gave it the same permissions as the rest of the kexts.

Unfortunately it's got the better of me as it still boots with the error.

Anyone got any ideas how to correct this or am I forced into yet another install http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

Well the information necessary for the Binary Decryption is provided by the SMC device on real Macs, fakesmc is just what the name says - no decrypter itself.

Try to delete /System/Library/Extensions/com.apple.kext.caches folder.

Okay thanks.

My sig was only to stop people asking me about my system on every post... I wont use it from now on but seems rather odd.
