Sony Vaio VPC-SE2
MonkeyBook Pro
Mavericks Combo-Update
Install Method |
This procedure has been confirmed to install the following Combo-Updates on Sony SA/SB/SE :-
Method
1. Ensure you have an up-to-date Time Machine and/or CCC backup
2. Backup your customised
AppleHDA.kext &
AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext from /S/L/E
3. Backup
AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext from /S/L/E
Important: If you are using any other patched or non-vanilla kexts such as IO80211Family.kext for 5ghz WiFi then you should also make backup's of them too.
4. Download the appropriate Combo Update from the links above.
5. Run Multibeast and install
Drivers->Misc->NullCPUPowerManagment, click build, then install.
6. Run the Combo Update and Reboot (the rest of the update will be installed during shutdown)
7. After reboot, Navigate to /S/L/E and delete
NullCPUPowerManagment.kext
8. Run the latest Multibeast and reinstall the Trim Enabler (if using SSD)
9. Run kext utility, and re-install the three kext's you backed up from steps 2 & 3
10. Once Kext utility has finished run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions <- Important
11. Shut down/restart.
After you have finished installing the update you can try re-patching any additional kext's such as IO80211Family.kext using the original patching method. If any kexts don't work after patching you can always go back to the previous version from the backups you made, install them via kext utility.
Once you finished, reboot and hopefully everything should be as it was, I did not loose my ATM customisations and all seems to be working well, no issues so far :-
Like I said at step 1 please make sure you have a full and complete backup before you start.
If you find things are not working after the combo update, try downloading the latest multibeast and re-install all of the following :-
- SSD Trim Enabler
- FakeSMC
- FakeSMC Plugins (do not select Nvidia)
- USB 3.0 Universal kext driver
- Lnx2Mac’s Realtek LAN Controller kext driver
- Apple RTC Patch for CMOS Reset
If you forget to backup the customised kext's you can install them again from the kext folder in the Archive in the main guide using kext utility.
Once you have fished updating, reboot and check all is ok.
Important: If you do not install
NullCPUPowerManagment.kext prior to running the update then you will get a Kernel Panic (KP) on next OSX boot due to
AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext being replaced in /S/L/E by the combo update.
If you have a different CPU or Sony SA/SB you my not experience this problem but if you do the way I fixed it was as follows:-
Remove the system drive from your laptop and attach to another OSX system. Navigate to /S/L/E on the laptop drive and rename
AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext to
AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.comboupdate then copy the backed up version from Step 3 to S/L/E on the laptop drive. Once done eject the drive and refit in your laptop and boot back into OSX with '-f' switch.
It should also be possible to fix the problem via the command line if you can boot into single user mode '-s' but only go this route if your confident with working on the system files at a console level.
Alternatively use ReHabMans method (1) in the
post bellow
