Finally got through all 99 pages and have dumped the ROMs of my machines a 5,1 and 4,1 updated to the 5,1 firmware. The output of the binwalk for the 4,1 looks like nothing at all in it, the 5,1 has an XML in it and am not sure if there is anything to worry about with it. My output for both if anyone would be good enough to check them for me.

Finally got around to dumping my BootROM following these instructions. I've got from a binwalk two XML documents in my BootROM. Should I be concerned?

Btw, logs most of the time are useless to show what is causing the problem if you have a hardware problem. Run AHT and check for the error showed.

I would argue very much against what you said here

a lot of times they have helped me diagnose many an issue

as kernel panic logs will list why the OS panicked and if any kexts where to blame for said panic, i can then look at those kexts see what they are for and then what hardware they are for and then I can trouble shoot that hardware

(in this case specifically I can see that the Radeon HD 7950 Driver is in back trace so it would point to a failing graphics card)

Panic logs are very useful if you know how to read them ;)

The plist itself it's not the problem, but what it shows. One, into the first stream is not to be worried, but two, one into the 1st and another into the 2nd stream of the NVRAM volume shows that you had multiple problems installing macOS.

You probably have some problem that warrant a troubleshoot. The first thing is run the AHT extended test. You can install AHT into an USB-key, instructions and links for AHT into Apple servers: https://github.com/upekkha/AppleHardwareTest

Next, dump your BootROM and let's check for Panics, wrong checksums, etc…

It's almost useless when you have a hardware problem. For example, I have a rMPB logic board that have bad ram. KP shows problems into everthing but the RAM. Always different CPUs, always different kexts - never shows the RAM problems. AHT gets every time.

The plist itself it's not the problem, but what it shows. One, into the first stream is not to be worried, but two, one into the 1st and another into the 2nd stream of the NVRAM volume shows that you had multiple problems installing macOS.

You probably have some problem that warrant a troubleshoot. The first thing is run the AHT extended test. You can install AHT into an USB-key, instructions and links for AHT into Apple servers: https://github.com/upekkha/AppleHardwareTest

Next, dump your BootROM and let's check for Panics, wrong checksums, etc…

It's almost useless when you have a hardware problem. For example, I have a rMPB logic board that have bad ram. KP shows problems into everthing but the RAM. Always different CPUs, always different kexts - never shows the RAM problems. AHT gets every time.

where you getting machine check errors in the panic log? thats always an indication of RAM related issues....

got any other examples? :)

(im not saying AHT is useless far from it, but keep in mind not everyone has access to or immediate access to AHT and a Panic log can provide a quick way to get info)

Panic logs are helpful if you know how to trace it. How a end-user will trace it? AHT shows an error that you at least can google it. That's my point.

ROMTool is back into dosdude1 site. He compressed the zip file with password "rom", so Google can't flag it as malware again.

ROMTool.zip - password "rom"

If anyone still has a 2008 Mac Pro and need the APFS Patcher, the password is "apfs".

APFS ROM Patcher.zip - password "apfs"

Edit:

People over the years write back to me that antivirus/malware detection software identify ROMTool as a malware. It's a false positive, not everything that have DirectHW.kext is a malware.

Hi guys,

I have a Mac Pro still on 4,1 that I'd like to push upto 5,1 (I've done a few before the process looks new/a little more involved to get Mojave?). I'm just about to dig in to the 99 pages, as I have a million questions.

Before I get started, can any one tell me if I'll still have boot screens with a Mac-Flashed GTX680?

Thanks

Don't do it yourself, every week people are bricking 2009 Mac Pros doing all the firmware upgrades, manually reconstruct your BootROM to 140.0.0.0. I'll PM instructions.

Really?
I’ve done quite a few 2009–>5,1 conversions without a single issue.
Just take your time, read through the forum thread and ensure you have the right OS to do it on and it’ll be fine.
Once on 5,1, upgrading to 140.0.0.0 is no different than any other 5,1.

Hi @tsialex,

Sorry for the noob question.
I would like to check my bootROM whether it has the issue of the windows 10 secureBoot.
Can you help me with step by step, I'm very new with this, never had experience of dumping any rom.

My spec:
Mac Pro 5,1
10.13.6 (MP51.0089.B00)

Thank you.

Alright, following up, I have run AHT in extended mode. It came back with one error "4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(3,0)" but after digging into this it appears that it is a false error (HT203648) that can show up during AHT extensive mode.

After the AHT run I did another ROM dump and got the following on a binwalk. It looks like those XML files are gone after the AHT run:

Is AHT known to repair BootROMs? Interesting if it does.
Click to expand...
No.

AHT saves logs into the 1st and 2nd streams of the NVRAM volume. So, AHT log substitutes the IASInstallPhaseList.plist - nothing is repaired - the log is still there in the AHT format.

Binwalk just don’t detect it since the AHT log is not a plist, nothing is showed when you binwalk the BootROM.

Binwalk is just a viewer that shows some things like plists, certificates, images, audio files, binary blobs, compressed blobs, etc.

Panic logs, Panic dumps, AHT logs are not showed when you binwalk, since it’s not a format/data supported. To see this you need to make plugins that extend the binwalk funcionality.

Binwalk is just a easy way to show some things, most of things need interpretation and check if checksums/sizes are valid, if the NVRAM volume has Panic logs/dumps, etc.

Dumped mine. MacPro5,1 and BootROM 140.0.0
I do have a Windows 10 EFI on a dedicated SSD, so I'm curious how this is.
