Administrators Hervé Posted February 7, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2015 The command seems to go through the tree structure; however, you have a rights issue, hence the error messages so the sudo prefix does most definitely appear required. If still not going anywhere, can you reach the /Extra/Extensions folder of your Mav HDD and list the kexts in there? Could you also use detail the contents of the Chameleon boot plist through the cat command? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted February 7, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2015 When you boot your USB installer, the shell path variable may not contain the link to /usr/bin where sudo exec is found. You could therefore try: /usr/bin/sudo cp -R ... or /Volumes/D830/usr/bin/sudo cp -R ... For the Chameleon boot plist, you need to use the command cat /Volumes/D830/Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke9511 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Would I still need to change the smbios and the other thing even if I were to include the kexts above in my extra folder if I were to reinstall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well, nothing wrong in your /E/E folder, nothing wrong in your Chameleon boot plist, I have no idea where things got screwed! It would appear you need to re-install the OS, yes... Stay away from EDP. You will need the SMBIOS of the MacBookPro5,1 to obtain native CPU + GPU speedstep.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 10, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2015 if your booting in -s single user mode then you do not need to put sudo infront of the command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke9511 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 if your booting in -s single user mode then you do not need to put sudo infront of the command. i dont think that works when booting to usb does it? either way i have to do a full reinstall cause of not being able to boot in normal mode or safe mode EDIT question is this the same as my issue? https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7548-ga-z97x-ud5h-i5-4460-clover-yosemite-kernel-panic-unable-to-find-diver-for-this-platform-acpi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 11, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 11, 2015 Your system was running fine until you did some EDP tuning, after which, it got screwed for whatever reason. With a fresh install, you'll be Ok again. EDP appears to systematically screw all D Series since the revamp of last summer, presumably because some of the critical kexts are incorrect. I strongly suggest you don't use it for the time being. I've provided you with the files required for the performance tuning, use them. The rest should be standard installation with myHack + bootpack (assuming that one is not screwed up either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
