Leon Hong Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi dear lebowski1970, thank you for the precious tip!! This method has inspired me more thoughts about the nvram and pram problems. I'll try out something new and tell you the results if I can achieve the goals. Thank you again lebowski1970!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah101 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Nice, I will try this when I get home. It will come in handy in case anyone tries to steal my Hack Pro! In the even that I need to reinstall Lion, all I need to do is re-edit that plist again right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureshtrb Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi, I have made some experiments on "Find My Mac" and i found some interesting results: (...) wow! superb worked after reboot HP Pavillion dv6 lion 10.7.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I used this script earlier today on ML DP4 and was gonna make a post about it before I saw yours. It worked great, I edited the installer name in the script to match DP4, but change was more cosmetic than anything else. Anyway, I'm not a terminal hater, but this was WAY easier than the way I had been doing it all via command line, no more math trying to resize partitions.

mnfesq Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 This worked for me, and I have a 4th partition after the Recovery HD. It didn't work when Recovery HD was disk0s4 but when I made Recovery HD disk0s3 and made my other OS X partition disk0s4, it worked fine. Thanks for this.

Foxic Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 This may sound daft but is there any way of actually using this recovery partition as a recovery partition? It would be great if it were accessible through chameleon (maybe using a command if the partition is hidden), and actually usable to recover/reinstall the OS to the main partition.

eep357 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Clover recognizes it and can boot it, you would have to make a couple of your usual modifications as with any installer, not sure about putting in another extra folder, but also should be able to have DSDT and stuff preload anyway. On a side note, new version of Carbon Copy Cloner (which is also going to a paid app for like 30 bucks, starts with 30 day full trial) can create a recovery partition for you from scratch for Lion or ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ok, I might give Clover a go later. In what way does it differ from Chameleon? I've not been following the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PippoX0 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Anyone knows if these script is usable with fussion drive ?? I didn't try yet because i have not a fusion drive. However create a recoveryHd partition is more trickly in fusion. See a tutorial to create a real recoveryHd , then you are able to experiment a fake one.

gilius Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Unfortunately, I seem to have a more fundamental problem with my Virtualbox build and iCloud? (see attachment) Could somebody please advise how I can fix this? I already tried signing into iCloud on a real MAC with my Apple ID and it works fine no problem, but not on Virtualbox. Also, does anyone know why the Virtualbox doesn't have a Recovery partition by default and why it needs to be hacked at all unlike VMware? Even if we put this fake recovery partition on the virtualbox, holding down the ALT/Option key doesn't bring up any boot menu!? Any help would be much appreciated!

csouers Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I made my recovery HD using this software. Much simpler and it's the full partition size, like one a real mac. I then used the How-to above for fixing the reboot and then no fmm problem. Worked great! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
