Good Day Group,

I'm trying to get my GMYLE ExpressCard-USB 3.0 working with OSX 10.12.6 on a 2009 Macbook Pro. Did the disable of the system protect, using Multibeast 9.2.1 (downloaded from this site), Quick Start Tab -> Legacy Boot Mode, Drivers Tab -> check USB 3.0, then Build Tab -> Click Install
Install fails, and the log looks like this:


07/29/22 14:24:49 - Starting MultiBeast 9.2.1-20180221


07/29/22 14:25:31 - Installing 'Bootloaders > Clover v2.4k r4173 Legacy Boot Mode'


07/29/22 14:25:44 - Installing 'BootVolume'


07/29/22 14:25:44 - Mounting EFI


07/29/22 14:25:45 - Installing 'Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC v6.25-333-g05e0f4be.1759'

'installer: Package name is FakeSMC-v6.25-333-g05e0f4be.1759


installer: Certificate used to sign package is not trusted. Use -allowUntrusted to override.


'. Exiting.



Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx Group.

are you trying to install Multibeast on your real MacBookPro?

Please, don't do that. Will end up badly. Believe me.

Just trying to add the USB3 driver to this older MacBook Pro 17”, via the ExpressCard34 slot. There is a write up from a previous post, and I followed each step by step. But running into this issue with the driver not being able to install because of some credentials issue.
 
other users have done it with success, so that’s the direction I’m going.
You're installing the Clover bootloader according to your logs.

That's what can make your Mac un-bootable. Search the forums for all the horror stories of what people went through. If you have rebooted yet, mount the EFI partition and delete Clover. If you have rebooted, then it could be trouble.


Here's an excerpt from one person's post:

TL;DR Clover messed up my Mac's firmware, had to remove logic board, reprogram a really tiny chip with a Raspberry Pi, countless hours wasted.

Also, I LOVE Clover...on real PC hardware. But don't boot it just for fun on your Mac, you'll maybe regret it.

I just wanted to report my experience here as I'm sure someone will try this, just like I did and really mess up their Mac.

I have read on multiple occasions that nothing will happen, even by RehabMan.

So I decided to boot Clover on my MacBook Pro 13" early 2015. I did not boot an OS and also didn't modify the settings, but decided to turn the Mac off after playing around for a bit.
After powering the Mac down, it would not boot again.

When it is powered on, you hear the chime one time and the backlight turns on. After that you will hear the second half of the chime looped infinitely. Nothing except for the SMC reset will work, every action that requires powering the Mac on will result in the loop.
