Can I use Software Update?

[Cisneiros]

Hi. I installed iATKOS v1.0i, and I would like to update to Leopard 10.5.4.

I read that "whitebox" versions (like iATKOS) can be Software Updated, but as this is a major update, I prefer to ask here first.

 

Can I use Software Update to update to 10.5.4? If not, is there any other way?

 

Thanks,

Alexandre Cisneiros.

Do you have intel / vanilla kernal ?

if then yes.. then maybe... i don't want to say for sure yet.. but i am not taking the blame if something goes wrong..

 

what 10.5.x are u on now?

[Cisneiros]

I'm on 10.5.1... according to iATKOS FAQ at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=76821:

Well, it is one of the first FULLY patched Leopard v10.5.1 releases. It is also known to have a preinstalled complied efi which means that you can install legit Apple Updates without downloading any patches or 3rd party software and also you can stop worrying about reboots hanging on the "Loading Darwin" screen. It is known as a "White Box" install

 

[...]

 

Also all files etc are all vanilla.

 

So this basically means I can update?

No. Updating Leopard from Software Update may make your hackintosh unbootable. Try the guide provided in this forum to update to 10.5.4.

I have to update one by one (10.5.2 then 10.5.3 then 10.5.4)?

You can go directly to 10.5.4 using Apple 10.5.4 combo update following netkas method

Of course it is for systems that are currently running properly on Vanilla kernel and kexts

u can use zephyroths ASU

wich is same to use, there is selection for AMD or Intel based machine

it downloads a update, modifies it for platform, and installs it

Thank you!

 

I just can't understand the following:

now u can recover ur applesmbios/applehda/etc (didn;’t u forget to make backups b4 running update ?)

What does it mean?

 

 

Thanks again

If you are following Netkas method, you are supposed to backup your current running kexts such AppleSMBIOS.kext, AppleHDA.kext and any other kext you modified. These are located in /System/Library/Extensions and you are supposed to copy them to another folder (say /Backup) before starting to apply the patch and once the update has completed, copy the extenxions back from /Backup folder fix persiossions and then reboot

[Cisneiros]

Hm... I expressed myself wrong... I understood I should copy my kext's.

The problem is that I don't know which ones to copy, because I didn't have to change nothing from iATKOS 1 default install...

 

Thanks :]

[Gujal]

The most common ones to backup are

1. AppleSMBIOS.kext

2. AppleHDA.kext

3. AppleACPIPlatform.kext

[Cisneiros]

Allright... I'll try to update and see what happens.

 

Thank you again.
