Lion 10.7.2, nothing but problems

Hi guys. As i'm sure most of you are aware Apple released 10.7.2 yesterday. I downloaded the combo update, removed SleepEnabler and rebuilt my kextcaches (just to be sure). I then ran the update and after that the {censored}storm began.

 

Booting went a-ok. Until it had to render OSX actually which is when my monitor went to sleep (no input). By googling i found that on TonyMacx86's forum someone mentioned removing the efi string to get a visual and to load NVEnabler.kext to hardware accelerate that visual.

 

Sadly that is all it does. The AppStore doesn't work anymore (had a fix for that in my EFI string as well), iCloud won't let me sign in (This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account. - iCloud is activated through my iPhone4 though...) and FaceTime throws server errors (has done so ever since 10.7.0).

 

So far i have ran [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 4.0.2 to install Chimera 1.5.4 (the latest version), no changes in any of the problem areas. I also tried Chameleon R1496 as suggested in another thread in this subforum. No joy using that one either, problems are the same.

 

AppStore, i have this in my org.chameleon.boot.plist

<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

 

The only thing that worked for me was the EFI string, but somehow that clashes with NVEnabler (haven't tried it seperately since i can't remember how i got the string in the first place :X) causing me to have unaccelerated graphics. I have also checked that the name of my ethernet connection is en0 in ifconfig, i removed the networkpreferences.plist, removed all network interfaces (and the firewire interface for good measure), rebooted and added the built in interface as en0. AppStore still doesn't work.

 

FaceTime never worked for me under Lion. Worked like a charm under 10.6.7 (never bothered with 10.6.8). No idea how to get that one fixed though =(

 

iCloud, i have a vague idea of what it should be doing, but i can't get past the setup on my Hack. I did setup my AppleID with iCloud hours before the initial 10.7.2 update on my iPhone4 though. No idea what is going on with that. I hoped Chimera would fix that but it doesn't.

 

Is there anything anyone can suggest that i try to get this working ? I want the Appstore to work at the very least, iCloud is second on my list and FaceTime third.

 

Thanks in advance =)

Ahem... fixed this faster than i thought. I created a EFI string just for the ethernetcard (Atheros unit) and it fixed all 3 of my problems. The AppStore let's me in again, iCloud too and the same goes for FaceTime. Haven't been able to make a call yet though, but the connection part of FaceTime has always been flaky for me.

 

Now all i need is to figure out which sleepenabler.kext to use.

 

there is a patched CHameleon Boot loader that fixes Facetime, iCloud and Intel HDxxxx, version 1618. look for that

 

I installed R1496 just a half an hour ago as per someone's suggestion in another thread in this subforum. What are the benefits of installing 1618 over 1496 ?

 

Edit 2:

Just downloaded this SleepEnabler.kext which worked for me. Basically i've fixed the major parts that were missing.

 

The only thing that is still bugging me is what actually changed between Chameleon 1496 and 1618 and why FaceTime somehow refuses to pickup or place calls. Weird. Suggestions welcome !

Hi. I have the same error that you.......How can you fixed???????

sorry for my english....

Thanks.

 

Basically i followed this guys method:

 

 

let's go step by step, it's not hard!

well first of u need gfxutil - http://rapidshare.com/files/83220759/gfxutil.zip.html

lunch terminal, and drag gfxutil into the terminal, and type after '-f ethernet' (i.e. = gfxutil -f ethernet)

you will get something like this = PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1c,0x5)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

 

after you get this, make a plist file with the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>what you got in terminal</key>
	<dict>
	<key>built-in</key>
	<string>0x01</string>
	</dict>
</dict>
</plist>

 

now, download osx86tools (google) and click on 'Add EFI string'

there go to Import Hex/Plist and load the plist file you just created.

you will get has code something like

4b00000001000000010000003f0000000100000002010c00d041030a0100000001010600051c0101

60000007fff0400160000006200750069006c0074002d0069006e0000000500000001

 

now all you need to do is copy that and insert it to boot.plist

like this

 

	<key>device-properties</key>
<string>4b00000001000000010000003f0000000100000002010c00d041030a0100000001010600051c0101
60000007fff0400160000006200750069006c0074002d0069006e0000000500000001</string>
