No, you can't undo the update, especially if it has not fully completed, which can be the case until 1st post-update reboot has completed.

 

Try and boot in verbose mode and without cache (i.e. boot with flags -f -v) to see if it'll boot to completion or see where it stops.

Try safe mode, adding -x flag to the above ones.

 

Failing that, no idea... What updates did you install? I'm not aware of any 10.7.5 updates that broke a D620/D820 installation, one based on myHack at least...

 

Maybe you'll have to re-install Lion totally.

???  :shock:

 

You said you were running Lion... Now you talk about updates for 10.5.8? Are you running Leopard? This is a version we don't support here, it's too old. Most Hackintosh sites no longer do either.

 

You'll have to get up to SL through other means such as Nawcom's ModCD/ModUSB before you can build a myHack USB installer. Then I suggest you keep that USB key safe somewhere. Since you already run Leopard, opt for the ModUSB, that'll be easier:

1) restore your SL retail disk image to a USB key

2) run ModUSB to make it a bootable installation key

3) copy the D520 bootpack as /Extra folder on the USB key
