oz81dog Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I've been trying to change my SMBIOS name on a real MacBook Pro and everything I find is for how to do it on a hackintosh. Basically I need to get this thing to report itself as a MacBookPro5,1 and it's really a MacBookPro1,2. I'm guessing I need to find the source code for AppleSMBIOS.kext and start there. Does anyone have any tips they could give me... BTW, this is for 10.6.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 You could try with one of the old SMBIOS injector kexts. This used to be the best one: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=108606 Version for Snow Leopard at the end of the thread. Don't ask me how to customize it because I don't remember. I think you had to edit the source code and compile it yourself. These days, smbios injection is handled by the Chameleon bootloader but don't install that on your Mac. If you could explain why you need this, maybe someone could suggest a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
