App Store problems

Do you see the "Your device or computer could not be verified" message when you try to login to the App Store? If yes, here are the steps to fix it.

  • Make sure that your wired ethernet connection is called "en0" (and not "en1" or something else). Use "ifconfig" command to verify this.

  • If the wired ethernet connection is not called "en0", then then go to Network in System Preferences and delete all the devices, and apply the changes. Next, delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist file. Finally reboot, and then use the App Store without problems.

This fix was found by Glnk2012 of https://www.tonymacx86.com/ site.

Enoch Bootloader

  • Download Enoch bootloader from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ (requires registration).

  • Using Pacifist open the “Enoch-rev.####.pkg” file and extract the file called "boot" from Core.pkg/usr/standalone/i386/boot

  • Rename boot to enoch_rev####_boot.

Higher Resolution

If you want a larger VNC screen add the following to the bootloader config in /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1440x900x32</string>

Boot Notes

Type the following after boot,

"KernelBooter_kexts"="Yes" "CsrActiveConfig"="103"

Kernel Extraction (older alternate to "pbzx" method)

  • Install Pacifist on OS X.

  • Mount "InstallESD.dmg" file.

  • With Pacifist browse to the above volume (use the "Open Apple Installers" menu option) and then open "Essentials.pkg". Extract the folder & file (Kernels/kernel) located at /System/Library/Kernels/kernel location.

  • After extracting the Kernels folder, place it in the same directory as the ISO creation script.

Post Installation

Put "org.chameleon.boot.plist" in /Extra folder.
