Will this work? I got the 10.4.5 Universal DVD (don't know if that is Jas, Myzar or whatnot) and this procedure worked for me... 10.4.5 ==> 10.4.6

-------------------------------------------------------

----------------GUIDE BEGINS HERE-----------------------

-------------------------------------------------------

obtain MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.6Intel.dmg, Maxxuss Patch Solution v1.0 for 10.4.5, and Pacifist 2.0, from Charlessoft.com

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

install Pacifist 2.0 to your Applications folder

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

extract Maxxuss Patch Solution, then copy the Decrypted_Files folder, to the root "/" of your OS X installation.

 

navigate to the copied folder and open /Decrypted_Files/replace.sh with TextEdit.app

 

highlight

 

function platformCheck

{

VERSFILE="/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist"

IS8G1454=`grep 8G1454 $VERSFILE | wc -l`

if [ $IS8G1454 == 0 ]; then

echo "Your Mac OS X installation is not a 10.4.5 8G1454 build."

returnAndExit

fi

}

 

backspace to delete the highlighted text, then Save and quit TextEdit.

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

open Terminal.app, located in Applications/Utilities

 

type in the following...

 

mkdir /backups

mkdir /backups4.6

cd /System/Library

cp -R Extensions SystemProfiler /backups

cd Frameworks

cp -R Kernel.framework OpenGL.framework /backups

cp /sbin/mount* /backups

 

----------------------------------------------------

 

mount MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.6Intel.dmg

right click on the MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.6Intel.pkg and "Open with" >> "Other", navigate to Pacifist 2.0 you've installed

in your Applications Folder.

 

Pacifist will open and a 15 second timer will run as it is unregistered. click on "Not Yet"

 

use Ctrl [editor: 'command' for multi-selecting in pacifist], to select EVERYTHING, ONE AT A TIME, EXCEPT---- mach_kernel ----

do not select them all at once using shift.

do not deselect anything.

if mach_kernel is accidently selected, shut down and restart Pacifist, and reselect

 

right click on selected blue highlighted files and "Install to Default Location"

 

click "Install" on the popup, leave the Administrative Priviliges box checked

 

type in your password to authenticate when required

 

two popups will come up, "Bundle Already Exists" and "File Already Exists",

check "Don't Ask Again..." for both,

click on "Update" for Bundles,

click on "Replace" for Files

 

after installation of files completes, Reboot.

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

at boot, hit F8 to access the prompt and type in the options, -x -s

hit enter

 

type in the following...

 

mount -uw /

cd /System/Library

mv Extensions /backups4.6

cd Frameworks

mv OpenGL.framework /backups4.6

cd /backups

mv mount* /sbin

cp -R Extensions /System/Library

cp -R SystemProfiler /System/Library

cp -R OpenGL.framework /System/Library/Frameworks

cd Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Resources

cp *.plist /System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Resources

rm /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer

ln -s /System/Library/CoreServices/AppleFileServer.app/Contents/MacOS/AppleFileServer /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer

cd /Decrypted_Files

./replace.sh

 

shutdown -r now

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

as soon as you get into OS X, open Disk Utility from your Applications/Utilities folder and repair permissions on

your OS X installation, then open terminal and type...

 

sudo update_prebinding -root / -force

 

(after prebinding ends, which might take a while, you will have access to the prompt again)

close terminal. wink_anim.gif
