After touching my Extensions folder I ended up screwing the kext cache.

While the system still boots, BUT all installer refuse to execute themselves, due to the failure of the kext rebuild phase.

Xcode won't finish the installation of needed added component.
Multibeast cannot be used.

Before I used to be able to run kextcache to rebuild it and solve issues.
Now (latest Sierra) it doesn't seem to be allowed.

What is the procedure now for kextcache troubleshooting?

Using Clover.
Should I reboot in safe mode?
Re-install OS And then redo Multibeast?

boot using -f in boot arguments then in terminal:

Code: 
sudo kextcache -i /

then reboot

Thanks I'll try that in a couple of hours ^^. When facing the beast again ^^.

While I love my Hack, a few issues (iMovie is dead to me... I still don't know why, that's the reason I was messing around with the kexts) make me wonder if I shouldn't drop some cash into a proper Mac (iMac 27") since it is a "work / side projects" machine for me.

Tried in single user mode, didn't work.

By the way attached here the log of Xcode failing...

So...

I tried rebooting, then in the clover window pressed space bar.
I then tried selecting <single user>, which worked, there I tried the kextcache command but I think the drive wasn't mounted or something because it seemed to not be able to execute properly.

I tried <Safe mode> but it didn't work, resulting in the boot process being stoped at a white forbidden (or empty) sign.

I didn't manage to try the "-f" option because it wasn't in the list of options usable.

How do I input manually whatever option I want?.

press enter at the boot arguments and then go the end of the line or the beginning and type in -f

Tried again (-f before or after, no notable difference to a normal boot), same message when I login and try that command on the Terminal.

I wonder, would using a UniBeast key and reinstalling the OS on top of my install ( hopefully keeping my home folder) fix all this?

Don't install a mixed set of FakeSMC/FakeSMC plugin kexts. They must always be from matched builds.
