BigDanTex Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ok another update - I re-installed Chameleon as suggested, no dice I've re-run myHack lots fo times and it always produces two errors during the creation of the USB, OSInstall.mpkg and OSInstall.pkg. The process completes but then I always get the boot0: GTPboot0: testboot0: testboot0: GTPboot0: testboot0: testboot0: error situation when trying to Boot from the USB. Any advice appreciated!

Administrators Hervé Posted February 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2013 How did you partition/format that USB key? I'd recommend you went for a GUID partition formatted OS X (journaled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDanTex Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yes i formatted with disk utility and still got the same result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2013 Then you may have a defective USB key. Try a low level format with a windows tool maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDanTex Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks Herve will try that tonight. I don't need to worry about the myHack errors during the myHack install at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2013 You should not have any errors. Make sure you have a proper retail version of 10.6.3 as only the retail version has all the necessary installation files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDanTex Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yes its definitely a full retail version... Hmmm really strange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2013 alot of older usb thumbdrives have issues with bootloaders. try formating it fat with an mbr partition in diskutility options. then make the myhack pen.... maybe download myhack again in case it was a bad download.

BigDanTex Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Guys a couple of screen dumps to show my predicament... I low level formatted the USB and reformatted in OSX - MyHack did seem to run a little faster but produced the same old errors. I tried to install anyway and got through the bootloader but then hit the KP shown. I'm going to try and create the usb on an actual mac today in case my DVD drive is goosed in the D630 but I don't see how it can be when it reads everything else...
