like in a hack, no differences. But anyway consider that only /S/L/E and /L/E will be repaired, not the entire volume..

And in El Capitan you have to disable System Integrity Protection by booting into the RecoveryHD, otherwise will return errors (because not able to act in System folders).

Thanks for this additiona information. A long time xxxbeast user and recent switcher for Clover, I knew nothing about Pandra's Box. I just watched the introduction video on Youtube. It looks so light years ahead of the installation system I have been using. I think I will give it a shot!

i finally figured it out how to use it!

 

Coming from Linux, I tired to manually type a path to this executable file. 

Was not easy :(.

 

Then I thought of dragging it inside the terminal just like many other Mac software. 

It worked like a magic!

 

I managed to fix iMesssage problem with the help of this prgramme.

Thank you!
