Hi there. Many thanks for Sem, Myz, JaS and all the people doing an excellent job- or Thanks to All the Harworking Guys out Making every update Possible.

This is a request to all of you, and please don't take it badly - I know that what you do is already much more than enough.

Would it be possible to assemble an install DVD (say, starting form 10.4.6) that does the Jas update and SemjaZa's too, automatically? I know it's not rocket science, but all this cumulative update process makes it a bit daunting for us non-whizzs!

What I mean is, for previous versions the install in my case (after partitioning) was really pop the dvd and that's it. Given that 10.5 is just around the corner, it's unlikely that a new version will come out. Wouldn't it be nice to have the ultimate Hackintosh DVD? Just my $.02

thanks again

Semjaza and any other that may know what happen.

I updated with your process but when I restarted ran into the following problem:

osx boots all the way to the gui but instead of a gui I get a black screen. Did I miss a step? How can I do restoration part from single user mode? Thank for your help!!

Are you in intel or amd ? From what version did you do the upgrade ?

Intel PIV 3.0 Ghz SSE3 No PAE
Gigabyte intel based mobo 965
ATI 9550 Callisto v7
10.4.6 from Jas DVD
Had previously used JAS patch to 10.4.7

I tried reinstalling OsX from JAS dvd as I have done many times in the past but the keep getting the same results. Tried fixing permissions, deleted callisto kexts. I think that it might be the frameworks, maybe a new one or something. Oh well, it's being three days and I'm starting to get desperate.

I had the same problem and here's what worked for me:

Shutdown
Boot using Safe Mode (-x) at the boot prompt
(Hit f8 to get boot prompt before gray apple screen appears)
Run 10.4.7 Security Update (2006-004) from Apple Updates
Repair Permissions
Reboot

My machine became usuable once again.

Hope this helps.

If so, then I suggest after you make you 10.4.7 running again by updating newest security update, next time you wanna apply semjaza decrypts you don't have to do the whole procedures, just execute sudo ./replace.sh

I'm sorry, maybe somebody asked this before, but I already have 10.4.7 installed without any problems. What's the advantage of applying the semjaza decrypts? And also, when I try to install it it gives me the following message: sudo: ./replace.sh: command not found, why?
Ok, got it. Sorry for being such noob beotch! LOL. I just realize Terminal is just like DOS! I forgot to do the CD thingy! Now, what about the other commands mentioned in the READ ME file? Do i know to execute those too?

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work.

I tried replacing all the files from the backup made during the Semjaza process by hand. The result was that the system would boot up to the login screen (I have autologin installed) then jumped into a blue screen with a spinner on it (like when you restart) and then I ended up on a darwin login screen. I could enter my username and password but nothing else. The only command that did something was mount.

Then I decided to install 10.4.6 again and that gave me a blue screen with the cursor nothing else.

I don't have an extra hard drive (wish I had the money). A long while back someone said that he was able to save his documents, files and setting by deleting everything from the HD except for the User's folders and then installing over it. Has anybody done this successfully? If that works I can keep all of my wife's settings (she hasn't forgiven me for messing up the system)

Thanks to everyone for the hints.

Does anyone know if how I can update my great fully working 10.4.4 to 10.4.7?
Do I need to do this in steps? Like 10.4.4 -> 10.4.6 -> 10.4.7 ??
Has anyone got experiance with this?

I can't see through the trees the forrest...
(Dutch saying )

Well I seem to be having the same problem as Velayo. After installing the 10.4.7 update and rebooting it goes through the startup bar and then instead of going to the login window it goes to the Darwin console. From here I'm not exactly sure how to proceed (and tired to boot!).

I've tried starting in both normal and safe mode, both with the same results (so I can't try to update to the 2006-004 security patch and repair permissions). I'm also trying fsck as a last idea before calling it a night. Edit: That didn't work either

Any ideas? What else to try?

Ben

I ran out of ideas myself, except for deleting everything from the partition except the user folders. Haven't tried that yet 'cause I'm afraid I wont work but its been a week almost and no one has given me any fresh ideas, so I might do it tonight after work.

Velayo,

Have you tried simply typing "exit" when you get to the console (after logging in)? According to an OS X tutorial about the console that I'm reading, the standard way to exit (get back to the GUI) is by typing "exit".

I'll try it when I get home tonight,

Ben

Edit: I also found this page Apple Developer Docs which disusses how the boot process works. This seems to imply that if the cache is corrupted (or out of date), then /System/Library/Extensions is searched for the proper BootX option. In 10.4, the process responsible for launching the loginwindow is also correlated to this. Without loginwindow, this might be the default.

I'd also suggest trying 'loginwindow' to see if that brings up the GUI. I'd also look in /Library/Logs/Console/<uid>/console.log which supposedly will have a log file of any stderr that occured. I think this problem is quite fixable after reading through these pages.

Ben

There's a thread in this forum about how to update from 4.4 to 4.7, use the search

HI Guys,

what is the Problem when i update OSX (Jas 10.4.6) to the official 10.4.7 Intel Update from the Apple Software updater?

It will be not work? I wouldn't test it

I found no answer in your threads.

there's a thread about this, it's safe , I downloaded from apple update and install it, works like a charm

thx! than i will try it now!

Edit: But why is your machine running with the jas 10.4.7 update (and SemjaZa 10.4.7 decrypted binaries) when you have download and installed the apple update?

After I did the official apple update my machine wouldn't boot, I figured it was because I am running AMD.

I think he really meant the Security Update is safe to download and install on Intel



The 10.4.7 Update is not safe to download and install without patches. It will hose your machine.

Right, you should use the Demonoid's 10.4.7 update cos it's already patched.

oopss, I did the AMD patcher on intel machine by accident, what should I do now?
the machine still runinggg ( dont know for how long...)

help?

I got this problem too. how was it solved?

Finished installing the 10.4.7 updates and it seems like I've run into absolutely no problems.

Great news but when looking at the Software Update list, it seems like Apple released another update:

'Security Update 2006-004 Mac OS X 10.4.7 Client (Intel)'

Hope Semjaza's working on this lol

The Security update has been proven to be safe to install on Intel machines with no problems.

Nice. Will try it later. Hope it does not screw any of up my stuff lol (not going to use Pacifist).

solved:)

actually, I checked the Jas 10.47 updater and Semjaza 10.4.7, 99% of them are the same:) except of course one used the old and one used the new decrypted semjaza files, but in Jas10.4.7 he take off the systemprofiler package away, and in Semjaza's method, we suppose to choose "all" and installed. so ...luckly, I have an USB drive with MAC os on, and updated to Jas4.7 only, so I just copied the SPPlateformReporter.spreporter to back. and reboot.

updated, and working flawlessly

will the security update also work for amd?

I didn't manage to get a solution . Just live with it.
I will try out your solution of replacing the SPPlatformReporter.SPrepoter folder with the one from Jas 10.4.7 upgrade. Hope it will work.
Sorry for the belated response.

Thanks Flow for your advise. It works like a charm. Hardware overview is back showing.

If anyone needs to download the SemjaZa Pack, let me know, I'll provide you with a quick link...

Is there anyone that can PM me a demonoid invite?
i would appreciate it!
thanks from a newb!

In need of advice:
1. When using Pacifist with Jas 10.4.7 update, it asks me if I want to update or replace *.app 's
What do I choose update or replace?

2. Do I need to use Pacifist to install the Jas 10.4.7 update?

Problem so far: everytime I use Pacifist (either replace or update), or direct installing by running the pkg file, the installation either breaks, or leads to a blue screen, so I do not get a chance to run Semjaza's decrypts....

Help appreciated.
Using Vmware 5.5 on top of a Pentium IV, 3 GHz, 1.5 GB Ram, 256MB VRam, w/sse3

Thanks.

Billy, you shouldn't need to run JaS's update through Pacifist, just run the .pkg itself. See how that goes?

I've not tried through VMWare, but I imagine it should be the same as native.

Hi StarForge,
Thanks for advice.
I am just fooling around with this. Because I got 10.4.7 installed on vmware using Jas 10.4.7 dvd as upgrade to Jas 10.4.6 dvd...
I just, out of curiosity, wanted to see how it updated using the Jas combo update, but it does not seem to want to, on vmware anyways...
What I like about vmware is u can take snapshots and if it does not work, you can revert back, so it saves time...
I already have a real mac, so it is unlikely i will consider upgrading my PC, I tried dual boot and I hosed my hard disk before
Cheers

No bother, Jas 10.4.7 update does not work with vmware from 10.4.6...
Tried evry combination, including pacifist and semjaza decrypt. What I get is blue screen with spinning o for ever...
But could install Jad DVD 10.4.6, then upgraded with Jas DVD 10.4.7, and recently used the smb/file sharing fix...

Please

Also, will the update work for AMD CPUs? I'm reading some confusion over the matter, just want to carify. Thanks.

The 10.4.7 update comes in 2 parts:

1) JaS issued an update for Intel and Myzar issued an update for AMD. But these included the decrypted files from 10.4.6 while waiting for the 10.4.7 encrypted files to be decrypted.

2) SemjaZa decrypted the encrypted files from 10.4.7 and issued a package that works for both AMD and Intel.

So, for a "complete" 10.4.7 update, you need 1 of the packages from 1) and the package from 2).

So does 10.4.7 not work with Athlon XP's? I'm running Athlon XP 2400+, 1 Gig of RAM. Whenever I try to start the install, it says that "The CPU was disabled by the guest computer."

Is there anyway to fix this error, or even install it on this computer? Thanks for all the help.

@DGNeo: Your CPU needs at least sse2 instructions.


So he'll need Myzar's 10.4.7 amd update + semj's 10.4.7 decrypts. Ok, I thought apple's 10.4.7 + semj's 10.4.7 decrypts were enough.
My bad, sorry SH, i'll correct in the other thread.

Again, you are installing through VMware. That is a VMware error message.

Have you tried installing it without VMware?

And as cbmkgd says, you need at least SSE2 capability. The Athlon XP 2400+ is only capable of SSE.

How would I go about installing without VMWare? Burning it to a DVD?

Hi can someone toss me an invite to demonoid? Thanks. b

If I use "JaS.10.4.7.Update.(Intel)" to update to 10.4.7 from Jas 10.4.6 DVD, Do I need update with "Semjaza 10.4.7 decrypt " any more? Or "Semjaza 10.4.7 decrypt" is including in "JaS.10.4.7.Update.(Intel)" already and no need install again?
Thanks

Okie, thanks Rammijet!
My problem that after install MAC OSX from Jas DVD 10.4.6, I apply the "JaS.10.4.7.Update.(Intel)" ==> everything perfect!
Then I apply the "Semjaza 10.4.7 decrypt" and... oh my god... I cant boot in MAC OSX any more! The welcome screen hangs on boot!!!! (Still can move the mouse but waiting boot forever!) What happen?

Maybe I do something wrong?

I followed the "read me" file from Semjaza:



Someone can explain extractly what I have to do (step by step) (speciality is the guide above) to apply the "Semjaza 10.4.7 decrypt" patch success?

Thank you very very very much
(Sorry for my bad English)

- install MAC OSX from Jas DVD 10.4.6
- apply the "JaS.10.4.7.Update.(Intel)"
- Run replace.sh so it replaces crucial encrypted system files. This command only works if you are in the working directory of the patch!
sudo ./replace.sh

Thanks for reply
So, I dont need to ? Rite? Only apply the "JaS.10.4.7.Update.(Intel)" then can apply the "Semjaza 10.4.7 decrypt" as soon as possible? I dont nkow how to run replace.sh , also (it display like the document format)!
When I use:

Have the Mes: "comment not found"

Sorry, I really noob about MAC OS!!!

That's what I said.

You downloaded a file called "semjaza10_4_7.tar". Put it on your Desktop and double click it to get a folder called "semjaza10_4_7"

Go to Terminal:

CODE

Type: cd ~/Desktop/semjaza10_4_7
Type: sudo ./replace.sh
(give your password)

Okie, really thank you for taking time to help me!
Only one more question: If I don't "Run pacifist and open the MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.pkg (Which file download from Apple official website). Select everything and install it" before apply the "semjaza10_4_7", so how can I install the new kext (10.4.7) which not include in the "JaS.10.4.7.Update.(Intel)" ?
Thanks so much!

You don't really need them. But if you want to play around and try to debug any problems the new kexts might create, then go ahead and use Pacifist and the Apple 10.4.7 Intel update. And best of luck.
