I got build 10a432 from a green demon a couple of days before the weekend prior to... September 1st :p
But if that is correct, it should contain EFI firmware for all apple line, and if so, SL send correct info to Soft.Update. It does specifically say MBP 5,1 |
lmao thats awesome!

I cant remember where, I read that many higher end apps can use this to better adapt processing to the type of machine you use... So I am quite happy about this too! I really cannot say if this is or not a big deal, but I suspect it is. I've don't remember ever seeing this happen... Maybe because its not a big deal after all ? ... anyway, I think its cool.
My question though is, in theory, what might happen if I inadvertently were to do it? :D I know what some of you are thinking, quite in a devlish way.... doooooo it.... dooooooooooooo it..... :p |
set up time machine, and you better go for it! lol
|
What !? Are you nuts !? Lool...
I have no idea of the possible consequences... YOU DO IT MAN !! hahah Anyways, I'm usic Carbon Copy Cloner, which has resored my SL instal about 5 times already, flawlessly. Just have to format, Chameleonize it, delete boot and Extra folder, restore image, re-enter UUID's and presto. Restoring 10,5GB takes 7m30s to an e-sata port |
then defenitly go for it lol,
also little side note, im accually considering buying an Acer 6939g JUST because of your perfect guide! if you could make the AirPort section a little more descriptive it would help TONS! lol |
Thanks...!!
What do you mean more descriptive? As in.. video instead of pictures !?!? :) loool I really do recommend this machine. Its EXTREMELY weel built, although I'd wish for a quiter keyboard. They really have redeemed themselves from years of garbage (yet highly affordable) hardware. And this one was sooooo cheap... GTA4 near all high settings, hours of play, no stutters (deleted pagefile), 28 fps constant give or take 2, without OC and temperatures never rise above 68 (gpu). Anyways, reading through this actually make me want to try .... :cool: http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/02...ed-how-to.html I'd just like to have someone come in from the community that has knowledge on the issue... http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/02...ed-how-to.html EDIT: in terminal, the following command I got from the link Code:
sudo ioreg -l -w0 -p IODeviceTree | grep efiCode:
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.You try the command see what it says... maybe I'm just making a complete fool of myself.... ? EDIT: CONFIRMED ! I am a fool. Perfectly normal and means nothing at all (the terminal response) - Anyone else get this update from soft. update? |
No ... I only get a request to update 'Remote Desktop Client'.
My model is identified as "MacPro4,1". |
then u wont get it that EFI update is for MBP5,1 (MID 2009 15")

I didn't get the EFI update because my model identifier is MacBookPro4,1 I guess. But as soon as I copied the smbios.plist to my /Extra folder I got an update based on my "hardware". I didnt have that update before the smbios.plist. So yeah it has something to do.
