Colonel Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Looks like you'll have to wait for Leopard then. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17809-boot-camp-doesnt-work-with-new-firmware-update/#findComment-115610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrimes80 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Did you go and download the specific firmware update....because the firmware update it refers to doesn't show up in the Software Update... http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ The one you want was released of 4.17.06 ... if it doesn't work; just below that, there is the download for the firmware restoration CD.

GothicX00 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Okay. Now don't make fun of me because i just got a Macbook Pro 2.0ghz 1gb 100gb hdd yesterday. What all is involved with that firmware rollback? Are there any ramifications at all? Or is it kinda like a restore point rollback for your firmware?

jgrimes80 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think this will clear up the how-to... http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/fir...ationcdv10.html It just reflashes the firmware... but I'd always back-up everything!

GothicX00 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Aright, i downloaded the firmware restore cd and tried following the instructions.... Here's what happened... I did the hold down power button thing and the LED on the front flashed rapidly like the instructions say but instaid of it doing the 9 flashes after that, it just emits this god awful beep (the speakers not LED of course ) and it boots into osx.... so i'm like WTF? Anyways... any more help would be appriciated... if i have to wait for a new version of bootcamp or wait for leopard i will. But i'm sure as heck not going to use the restore cd that came with my MBP. You can forget that in a heartbeat. Anyways... thanks in advance for your help...

It should work... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17809-boot-camp-doesnt-work-with-new-firmware-update/#findComment-119136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgrimes80 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 you don't need to restore the whole thing, just the firmware; see post #5 Are you sure you have tried to install the Firmware specific for the bootcamp? see post #3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17809-boot-camp-doesnt-work-with-new-firmware-update/#findComment-121860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phi Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hehe i fixed this now. It is a bit silly but .... For running Bootcamp you need the older SMC Updater V. 1.0.1, not the newer V.1.0. So scroll down in the apple download list and get this 1.0.1 Updater for MBP.
