Yeah multiple copies from different sources including 10.12.2 from the tool home page.
I installed it before on the same macbook on version 10.12 in October before rolling it back so i dont understand whats going on. Only thing different with my setup is I swapped out my optical drive for a second hdd
The error you're getting indicates an issue with the copy of the macOS Sierra Installer App you're using. Check to make sure it's the proper app, which should be about 5GB in size. If it is, right click on it and select "Show Package Contents", go to Contents>SharedSupport, and make sure the "InstallESD.dmg" is present. If so, try double-clicking it to mount it manually, and try to run the tool again.
Hello There Question and a big problem has recently come up.

After seeing this pic
Of benchmarks of the T9300 in different computers I'm starting to wonder if the 400MHz in 'About This Mac' is a problem. Much lower marks than in other computers.
It's odd tho. Because if I run the command in Terminal to look up the CPU it does in fact show the right info

The links for that are in apple's developer forums.
Go there for them.
Apparently it is against macrumors rules to post them here.
Is it? I had no idea it was against the rules. Being that there are threads for hackintosh. Thanks for the heads up
Not to mention, we are talking on a thread about installing Apple software on unsupported devices lololol.
Hi Guys, I posted earlier mentioning I had bought a Ma Pro 3.1, well I installed a ATI Radeon 5780 card, that the guy I bought it off assured me it had been flashed, into it and a wifi card I bought off Ebay UK for £14, the Mac Pro came with Mavericks installed, so I upgraded to El Capitan and then decided to make a boot USB with Dosdudes Sierra Patcher kit, all that went well until I came to boot from said usb, and it wouldn't boot at all, feeling despondent I resigned myself to using El Capitan, later I phoned a mate and told him what happened and he said he had used Dosdudes Patcher and he had no problems putting Sierra in on a external hard drive on his Mac Mini early 2009 and did I want to bring the said hard drive over to see if it worked in my Mac Pro.
Well I thought it couldn't do any harm to try, so I said go ahead, he duly arrived later and we hooked it up to a front usb, after a few anxious minutes watching the flickering light on his HD lo and behold it booted up into his Sierra
, and my wifi card was recognised as well, so double joy, but up came a message saying SIP was enabled and could cause some probs so to disable it, I should go into Recovery and disable it in the Terminal, I actually didn't do that, but I cloned his HD onto a spare 500Gig HD already in my Mac and it worked a treat, so my question is should I go into the Terminal and disable SIP? everything is working okay at the minute so I am reluctant to do that, but any feedback would be okay, and of course a real big thank you to Dosdude, he really is my hero.
Thanks guys, I have learnt so much off this site so keep up the good work.

I just reset mine and used 'seed' instead of 'production' and the beta 4 showed right up

It's because you're using the 32-bit benchmark... Use the 64-bit one, and it'll improve quite a bit.
This was the best I could get
Im assuming if it was actually running at 400MHz it would be much worse. If that is the case I'm not to worried about getting the information right in 'About This Mac' and 'System Report'. It would be nice for cosmetic reasons tho
Thanks for the input and your work

Why did you give up?
I installed some of the FakeSMC.kext sensor kext and was actually able to finally view what frequency I'm running at using HWMonitor. Before I installed the sensors it wouldn't read frequency. At idle the T9300 runs at 1.119GHz and with benchmark running its a 2.39GHz. So I guess it is running at proper frequency
i still haven't updated el capitan to sierra. How stable is the latest version, specifically to battery.
I have the 2015 macbook retina 13"

Hello
I come to you because I made a USB drive to install sierra on Imac mid 2007 but I do not know that cpu put to be able to install sierra. Can you tell me what cpu and what wifi card install for it to work. I thank you very much for your help.
cordially

Hi All, I have a MacPro 3,1 running 10.12.2 with an AMD Radeon R9 280X video card. System Profiler tells me there is no driver installed for the ATY,HamachiParent (so no audio through HDMI). Anyone have a download link for the driver? Thanks!

You don't need to use AUSEnabler anymore... I've now implemented @Czo's on-the-fly patch that spoofs softwareupdated into thinking the machine is a VM, allowing 10.12.x updates to be installed without any extra software.
Do I need to do something to install this patch as I have this macos installed a few months ago?
