djrhettmc Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 DUMBEST thing I have ever done. I have built my own OSX86 box. I am smarter than this. Accidently used MyHack to ruin my firmware/EFI on my 'authentic' real iMac (Early 2008), model 8,1.. (10.5.8) There is ZERO information on 'firmware restoration' on Apple.com support. I CAN boot to the original Leopard system restore OSX installer. Have tried restoring from Time Machine. Won't boot. Only white screen instead of the Apple logo. HOW TO RESET? Anyone hosed a real Mac with MyHack installer accidently? I CANNOT be the first.... Thanks for ANY info! The local shop reccomends trying to install again via Target disk mode.... I need firmware restored, the problem is NOT on the hard drive... How to 'flash' the EFI firmware, now wrecked by Chameleon...?????

downlord Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi, look here support.apple.com/kb/HT2434 and here support.apple.com/kb/HT1557 Seems not be a so big problem. Good luck EDIT: wrong link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrhettmc Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hey thanks! That is what I will try! Hope it's all so simple as MyHack tried to install MBR and all I need to do is turn it back to GUID... Both those support.apple.com/kb/HT2434 are identical... Did you have a second link for me to look at? THANKS! RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
