    Is it possible to flash the 5,2 firmware onto a 4,1 MacBook?

    Hey, I have a 2008 4,1 black polycarbonate MacBook Core 2 Duo with 4gb of RAM and a 250gb SSD, and I wanted to ask if it’s possible to update the firmware to the 5,2 firmware, so it’s possible to install El Capitan on it. Would this even be possible? I would thank for every answer :3
