Can't Boot after removing/installing FakeSMC

[PukeMonkey]

Hey all,

 

I done goofed up when installing/uninstalling some FakeSMC kexts. I was trying to get my GPU temp to read and decided to uninstall the previous FakeSMC kexts to add new ones, but now my machine wont boot up anymore. Safe mode doesn't work either, what happens is that it tries to boot and restarts almost immediately.

I've added a screenshot of verbose mode. Hope someone can point me in the right direction to get this sorted out.

 

Thanks !

Use it

FakeSMC.kext.zip

the problem is Sensors Kexts, in ur case, GPU Sensors

Boot your USB installer, then use Terminal to manually remove the current FakeSMC kext from wherever you placed it by a previous version or simply remove the GPU sensor PlugIn. Then rebuild the cache or boot without it.

 

Sorry for my newbie questions. But so I understand that I need to boot the USB installer and then go to terminal (I am there now). However, how do I mount my Sierra drive and what are the commands to remove kexts? Actually I found out that I can type kextunload /System..etc but when I do that in Terminal it says "Can't open CFBundel."

 

Thanks for your patience guys, haha

Single User -s

Usb Stick Terminal

cd /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/System/Library/Extensions
rm -rf fakesmc.kext

if u can move

mv /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/System/Library/Extensions/fakesmc.kext /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/FOLDERNAME

Thanks MaLd0n and Hervé! Worked like a charm. The thing now is that all my other kexts don't seem to be active anymore. For instance, my sound isn't working etc. Do I need to reinstall all those Kexts or do I need to do something with the clover config.plist ?

 

Cheers!

Never mind, seems now when I boot without the USB installer stick in my pc that it all starts up fine
