Go into your /usr/standalone/i386 folder you should see a boot.efi file with the name containing pikeyosefix or something like that.
For everybody who has successfully upgraded; did you install both upgrades? So 10.10.3 and the second one? The Yosemite recovery update?
Why don't you just reinstall it? it's harmless. Run the installer, restart twice and voilà.
That would have been my second idea if there was no way to tell if I already have it run before. But the screenshot looks like I have, no?
boot.efi.pike
I don't seem to have the boot.fi.pike folder, but I remember doing the following:
"Just to be clear (sorry for being the dimwit!), you (one) runs the tobyg script: https://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...&postcount=891
and then,
1. Install the script but DO NOT restart.
2. Delete the installed boot.efi.tiamo in the /usr/standalone/i386 folder
3. Duplicate the boot.efi file that is in that folder (command + D)
4. Change the name from "boot.efi copy" to boot.efi.Tiamo
5. Restart
Then, after this previously described procedure, you run the update to 10.10.2 from the Apple App Store??"
I have the boot.fi.Tiamo. Am I missing something??
Do I need to (re)install something else??

Same here, Mac Pro rev 1,1 and 10.10.3 works fine. I just had to take the boot.efi from my clone.
Yes, both. I haven't tried to do anything recovery-wise, though. I suppose the Recovery partition won't boot on an old Mac Pro until its boot.efi is replaced with Pike's.
I installed 10.10.2 by following the instructions here. Just updated to 10.10.3 with no problems. Did not see the second update people are mentioning i.e. the Yosemite Recovery.
Once more, thanks to everyone for a smooth update.

Could someone please verify quickly if this is what it's supposed to look like when I have the pokeys fix installed?
Thanks a lot!

I got similar one. And I clicked update all and now I am using 10.10.3.

No problem at all. I updated them at the same time.
Installed PikeYoseFix, did the update and now I have a dead Mac Pro. I tried the install new boot.efi files by means of putting the Mac Pro in target-mode and install the boot.efi file on the 2 places at System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi and usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi. But I have a flashing folder with a question mark in it. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Can anybody help me?
Do I have to lock the boot.efi files? Am I using the wrong boot.efi file?
BTW: I've got a fusion drive and no recovery HD
Thanks!

Pretty sure the problem is your fusion drive. This was discussed a page or a few back.
I had no problems with the update to 10.10.1 and 10.10.2. Maybe I revert back to a separate ssd and HD. I was never impressed with the performance of the fusiondrive. Unfortunately my ssd is too small for my time machine back-up.
Recovery Partition
Thanks to all of those who have put the hard work in getting Yosemite to work on the 1,1. I've faired pretty well so far getting things working. One thing that I have apparently hosed is my recovery partition. I tried to work through the steps on this thread to enable the Option key on boot but it didn't work and I also now can't boot into recovery with Command-R. Any advice out there on how to salvage? Not a deal breaker but more of a learning opportunity for me. I have other system drives I can also boot from.
Thanks
