Gipsy What do you want to do? do you know the purpose of pmpatch? it's' not boot vanilla osx on pc, it's only to avoid to use AppleIntelCpuPowermanagement kext, to boot vanilla osx you need to patch your bios with ozmosis and not with pmpatch.

gipsy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I know exactly what it does (as mentionned I did it before with pmpatch) I want to reinstall everything and take the opportunity to apply the uefipatch to my bios but since I have not managed (cant say that there are many explanations or at least not straight forward) I'm asking for help here . This ozmosis seems too complex to use; I'll stay with UEFIpatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigors Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Who can explain step by step how to use PMPatch. Please pic or post terminal how to use this pack. Thanks in advanced. PMPatch as know obsolete, you have to use uefipatch, it's' simple, download uefipatch, extract it in some folder, put your bios in the same folder, run UEFIpatch bios.name, you have to see some infos about Patching.. excetera, if you read patched, your bios it's' ready and patched, if you see some weird message, post the messages before use the bios. P.S. you have to use UEFIpatch from msdos prompt if you are using windows, from terminal if you are using Linux or OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavo Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Ok thank you for answer but how work this. Please pic and attach.Does not have to be my bios can any. Crushers, its pretty simple: 1. Download latest version of UEFITool. 2. Open your BIOS file. If it fails to open, check it for being UEFI BIOS. Legacy ones are not supported. 3. Select "File->Search..." (or press Ctrl+F) and enter "75080FBAE80F89442430" as hex pattern, set search scope to "Body only". 4. Look for "Hex pattern found" string in Messages field, double-click on it to select found section. If not found - you have nonstandard BIOS that needs to be studied further, please upload it here. 5. Press RMB on found section and select "Extract body..." action. "Save file..." dialog will open, enter the name of file to save, for example, "pm.bin", and press Save. 6. Open saved file with hex editor, find that "75080FBAE80F89442430" pattern once again, replace 75 to EB and save modified file. 7. Select the same section you have found in step 4, press RMB and select "Replace body..." action. Select your modified "pm.bin" file in "Open file..." dialog, that will open and press Open. Old section will be marked "Remove", and another section marked "Replace" will be added after it. 8. Select "File->Save image file..." (or press Ctrl+S) and save your modified BIOS. 9. Reopen the saved file to see that it opens correctly. 10. Flash the result with any suitable method. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bajito93 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 What are the differences between PMPatch and UEFIPatch? I patch my bios with UEFIPacth which are the benefits to use this tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spckyactnfrmadstnce Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi, I'm having problems flashing a 'UEFI patched' bios onto my Maximus VI Hero Motherboard. The Flashback function on this board looks to be Faulty, so I can't use that method to flash the bios. Can anybody recommend an alternate method? Thanks in advance.
