Hi guys.

I have my own way for make changes permanent after shutdown or reboot.

I put a Script plist file named com.nvram.root.pliston /Library/LaunchDaemons and them I change permissions with

sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nvram.root.plist

then I go to iCloud preferences panel and active FMM. After this, I go to Terminal and check nvram state... I look for 2 keys named fmm-mobileme-token-FMM and fmm-computer-name. If both keys are present and populated, then I dump nvram content to a file named nvram.log....  I do it in this way:

nvram -p

for test if keys are present. If both of them are, I dump nvram in this way:

sudo nvram -p > /var/log/nvram.log

After this... Find my Mac works after Reboot or shutdown!!!!

Enjoy the tip guys..if you want....you can donate for a cup of coffee in my website (http://www.i-dispositivos.com)

Then copy nvram.log to /var/log

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!!

[lebowski1970]

Hi Leon Hong.

If you are testing with nvram and pram, I have 2 links for you. One of them inspired me for the script method in FMM and I want to share them with you:

have a look to the full blog, because have lots of information usefull for hackintosh. Good luck with your testing.

Guys, please don't fullquote when replying, it's just more garbage to scroll past. We have enough noise here already. Keep Insanelymac clean!

Sincerely,

really works !!!!!!!thanks pippox0!!!!

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?

Script to MAKE updated recovery partition.
Works well

[eep357]

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]

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.

[JamesLittler]

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]

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

[JamesLittler]

Ok, I might give Clover a go later.
In what way does it differ from Chameleon? I've not been following the project.
