No. I just download the new boot.efi (gray) and replace the old boot.efi by the new one... from the very beginning.
Got a tip for us?

Download whatever package you want from 666Sheep's post. After reboot it will change the boot.efi files with whatever version you chose.
OK. And after a new update, like 10.10.2, no more problem with the boot.efi ?
Correct. It changes the boot.efi right before the computer restarts or shuts down every time. So updates will not break it anymore.
I've had LS installed for six years and it never caught anything that shouldn't have been there. All I did was block Adobe updates out of spite. I just got my Mac Pro 1,1 running on 10.10.1 and haven't gotten around to installing LS. I'm actually a little relieved that it doesn't work because yes, it's a huge pain in the ass.
People were having issues with Copy so it is now on Mega:

WIFI Issue
Hi all! I am thrilled to say I am a Noob who successfully got Yosemite running on my Mac Pro 2,1 dual Quad Core with 10GB Ram. I have two issues remaining and was hoping I could pick some of your brains for a minute. Please pardon me in advance for not knowing much!
After the install using a flashed USB with a Yosemite DMG found online, I am now functional, but WIFI says "No Hardware Installed and the wifi in the top bar is greyed out. I did the P+R+CMD on restart and found a way to manually scan for hardware using terminal commands, but no difference.
Also, when I am using a finder prompt (not spotlight) such as entering my password, the keys are extremely slow to respond on my keyboard. Does anyone have any idea what this is from?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Sorry, I meant to list. It's an Asus 210. I just put it in this morning and it was plug and play, but alas, no boot screen of course. Just boots to the desktop.
Also, with regards to the wifi, I know it worked as of this morning when I was still running Lion, but hasnt worked since the upgrade to Yosemite. This would lead me to believe that the card is functional, right? I cannot even see the hardware (wireless card) in the networks window. The system is full-on not recognizing it.

Being that it is an old legacy kext for that card try booting with the bootarg kext-dev-mode=1.
Sorry, what is this process? I just googled it but didnt find precisely how to do this. I appreciate your help a lot!

In terminal type
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
Then reboot
In terminal type
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
Then reboot
Ok, it was worth a shot. To remove the boot arg type this in terminal
sudo nvram boot-args=""
Based on my searches regarding that model number I saw many people having issues with 10.8 and 10.9.
Correct I am not cloning over the boot.efi files from the Mac Pro to the MBP because I know it will brick it. I am trying again to clone it and I backed up copies of my already working MBP boot.efi files to replace after the clone. I know that's not the preferred method, however I'm trying to narrow down why a simple clone minus the boot.efi files wouldn't work on the MBP, and have it narrowed it down to the System folder. There's gotta be something in there it doesn't like.
By the way, anyone know if OEM comes to these forums anymore? I have two posts over on his site awaiting approval and it seems like he just disappeared.
EDIT: Well I am happy to report that I successfully cloned the System drive to the MBP where it booted up. Using the list of files Hen posted before, I took a look around and noticed a few that might also need to remain the same, so there are the files I didn't copy over from the Mac Pro and were MBP specific:
usr/standalone/i386/ (everything in this folder: boot.efi, EfiLoginUI, Firmware.scap)
System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
/System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist
Next backup time, I am going to see if I can narrow down that list to eliminate PlatformSupport and EfiLoginUI folder as I suspect they aren't needed. This time around I can easily put them back if they are.
