I am able to see the hidden files with - defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE in terminal.
I got this from my other mac. and transferred the dmg to a flash drive and then to this hard drive. This is the file I used to install it on my other, newer mac. (below is what is stated on page 1)
* Get a supported Mac and buy it directly from the App Store, copy it to a thumb drive (8GB or larger) and transfer it back to the unsupported Mac.
Oh, now I see where the problem is. The files that me and derickjsmith have are not from the App Store. The App Store version is bundled in a .APP file, while we have a .DMG file that contains a .APP file with around 21MB and three other folders.
The thing is, since this is an experimental process I won't spend my money without seeing if I can use this as my main OS and replace my Lion installation. I know it my be considered piracy, but I take it as a trial. The only thing we can do is try to find the .APP version somewhere. And that's what I'll do and if it works, I will buy it from the App Store.

No way i would do that. Its considered as piracy

Sorry, Its clearly piracy. i won't help people that pirates stuffs. Go get it from the app store, its bloody 19 dollars.

DMG is NOT SUPPORTED! for the last time. Durh. The .app file in Applications folder has to be larger then 4GB. Im wondering, is my instructions from post #1 not clear enough? BUY THE APP FROM THE APP STORE.
We should really ban people that pirates stuffs on this forum. Or should i include piracy checks in V0.3? To prevent people from using the 20ish MB .app file & DMG, ISO, ZIP.
Read the first post and 2nd post. When you're done, bang your head against the wall
. You guys just made us wasted some 2 hours completely re-checked our code figuring out what the h*ll went wrong.
I understand your point of view, even though I disagree. And I understand that I'm on my own from now on. Thanks for the help anyway.

I was wrong, It's goto App store buy and download it's right way,Sorry!
and thank's you agian , seems I'm fix all bug (less iSight low frames)
now I can use Disk Utility to repair permission,(use hackintosh PC with CLOVER install fully success（install to ML partition）then use this MLPF to fix ML partition, TEST repair permission, it's work ^_^
hope and waiting iSight low frames Issues to fix from nicely & great hackerwayne release new MLPF
many thanks
Im pretty sure you used the app thats why it worked.
----------
Im pretty sure if Apple allows ppl to "try" it before buying it they would try it forever instead of buying
The real reason for me being so pissed is that i clearly stated the .app file would require to be 4.XXGB and in the Applications Folder & i expected that to be done. I was figuring why it did not work for you guys just to realize you didn't use the .app file
NetAuthSysAgent[223]: SMB_CreateSessionRef: creating smb handle failed, syserr = Input/output error
I got this error while trying to connect to any smb server/computer on my network.
Replaced mDNSResponder, repaired permissions and nothing.
Any help?

OFF TOPIC.
你是台灣人？ 我也是華人，馬來西亞 的華人。
Right, nuff of chinese. Its been quite a long time since i last used it. XD

Dear hackerwayne:
have any idea & solution to fix it
give you all days handclap ^_^ Even if have to waiting 1 months +
Time to bed, Now ShangHai(China）is 03：32 AM
是的，我是臺灣人，不過從1999年就到大陸來工作了
你真的好厲害，解決了這麼多被蘋果摒棄升級的早期Mac電腦
給你掌聲、喝彩，哈哈！
如果能交上您這麼厲害的朋友，真是我的榮幸！
PS：我是臺灣臺中人
That's one way of looking at it. And i can assure you that if this works as well as I hope, Apple will get my money soon enough, don't worry. And don't forget that you're altering a copyrighted closed-source product, it's not exactly within Apple's terms. But far from me wanting start yet another discussion over this, this is clearly not the place. You've made your point and I get it, I've made mine, let's leave it at that.
I can see that now and I apologize for the trouble I caused.

Sorry, those kexts we used are available on source.apple.com.

哈哈，謝謝謝謝，沒那麼厲害，只是修改了一些內部系統罷了。我今年17歲，是華人但華語沒那麼好，以前是在華校讀了點簡體，在家是講英文的。好吧，用回英語吧其他的網友看不懂。 XD
For those who ask what im saying, basically i just pretty much introduce myself in chinese. And learned that his from Taiwan. Nothing much. Right back to MLPostFactor. Im working on V0.3 atm, unfortunately, im not able to get AFP working. (Always KP when connecting) pretty much sorted out the rest except iSight & NumLock LED.
OFFTOPIC!
If anyone wants to ask a question, but English is not you're mother tongue, i can understand and respond to the following languages:
English (of course..)
Français/French
華語／华语／Chinese Mandarin (Including Simplified and Traditional Chinese)
Bahasa Melayu/Malay

EDIT: Oops. This works for 10.6. I assumed (incorrectly) that it would work the same in 10.8. Sorry.
I know just enough about Terminal to know that I really don't know much, but I think that I managed to figure out the maclight thing.
I downloaded their .zip file, and then ran their install command:
I waited for it to finish, and then went to the folder it had made in my home folder. I then went to ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin with Terminal:
Then I spent a bit of time figuring out how it works.
The shell command I think you want is
That sets the numlock led to be off (0).
Of course, the maclight commands assume that you're in the ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin folder.
I hope that helps.

Thank you. Glad to see a 17yr old 華人 with this much talent.
Wayne, you're so awesome for being only 17yr old but already helping many of us upgrading our macs to Mountain Lion.
I'm impressed that you speak so many languages. esp. French.
I'm a 華人 as well living in the US. I speak English/Canto/Mandarin/and Vietnamese and I thought this is already way too much for a single person.
Keep up the good work. I'll try to help you answer trivial Q's on this forum.
Some people just don't read the OP. (I knew the other guy was missing the 4.xx gb app just from what he was describing but I didn't want to assume he pirated ML)

Thanks! I speak canto & hokkien too xD. I honestly didn't know he was missing the 4GB file because i assumed chaliwang told him he needs to have the 4GB file. (see quote) Maybe he didn't read it or he thinks the 4.XXGB InstallESD would be fine, which is not.
I would have expected a coding error since 2 forum members are having the same issue. (honestly didn't expect both didn't saw the 4.xxGB app required quote). So after making sure my app got no problem and that i can't replicate the issue im scratching my head thinking what could possibly go wrong, so i came back here to look for more clues, just then i saw his attachment saying its only 20mb. Lol! I am implementing more checks in V0.3 to prevent future forum members from accidentally using the 20mb file instead of the full app..
Recommended not to upgrade. 10.8.2 is more stable then 10.8.3, but if you really want, then read post 1 & post 2. Do note that you won't be able to downgrade if you find 10.8.3 unstable (there we're reports of glitches while using Safari & Chrome always crash). A clean install is required to go back to 10.8.2.

I will be doing a Question & Answer video. It can be about anything, not limited to geeky/IT stuffs. It can be about my opinion on things, what you think i should work on next? (seeing this wonderful project is almost ending), . again, not necessary to be an IT/geeky questions. You can Tweet me @Wayne_819 and i will cover your question on that Q&A video.
My file wasn't a pirated file, I followed the instructions on the apple website on how to back up my install app, to burn a bootable disk or usb drive. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4302239?start=0&tstart=0
I was able to go back and just transfer the actual file, not back it up, and the app file is 4.37GB.
Your instructions were clear on page 1 - * Get a supported Mac and buy it directly from the App Store, copy it to a thumb drive (8GB or larger) and transfer it back to the unsupported Mac.
I assumed that a burned disk or usb drive of the file for backup would work. No where does it say to transfer just the app file, not the backup dmg.
----------
I was able to run MLPostFactor to the INSTALL drive. When I rebooted, I am able to see EFIBOOT drive, which brings up Mountain Lion installer. I ran through the install and got a failed message just like the instructions said, when I reboot, I get a grey screen with just circle and a line thru it.
That is all I see. I tried to reboot again, and held the option key down and I can see my OSX, EFIBOOT, EFIBOOT, and RECOVERY DRIVE.
Did I miss a step?
Thank you for your help.
That's really helps
I would try this later, it seems my problem could probably solved in 64 bit.
