As we’ve mentioned in the past, the Mac Pro has not received a major design update since the chassis belonged to the Power Mac G5 in 2003. Jabbawok has one of the first Mac Pros from 2006, and has found a way to coax Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion onto the aging professional rig. Jabbawok has used hackintosh tools, originally for booting Mac onto a Windows PC, to trick Apple’s newest operating system into booting on the oldest Mac Pro.
A Mac Pro 1,1 or 2,1 Cheese grater desktop with OSX Lion 10.7.5 system drive; 8GB USB drive; A graphics card better than a GT120, I used a Radeon HD 5770, original mac version with its appropriate power cable. There are flashed PC cards out there, but they won’t display a boot screen. I like a boot screen, so I purchased a proper Apple card. The Mac also speaks USB-PD to other devices, such as when an iPad Pro is connected in DFU mode. Apple needs to document the entire set of VDM messages used in their products so that consumers can understand the security risks. The set of commands we issue are unauthenticated, and even if they were they were undocumented and thus un-reviewed. Connect your iPhone to the PC or Mac. Enable the backup when prompted. From the left sidebar, pick your device in iTunes. Click on Restore and then select Backup. ITunes will now restore your device while making sure the old apps, music, photos and contacts remain intact. All jailbreak data as well as tweaks and jailbreak apps will be removed.
The Mac Pro’s chassis has essentially been unchanged since the release of the Power Mac G5. Despite this, the internals of the first Mac Pros are no longer compatible with Apple’s most recent software.
It should be noted that Jabbawok wasn’t able to use a pure Mac Pro 1,1, because the pokey NVidia 7300 GT isn’t supported by Mountain Lion. The Mac Pro was updated to a relatively new Apple-branded version of AMD’s HD5770.
In addition to the graphics card, the hack needed to bypass two issues: the lack of 32-bit compatibility in Mountain Lion and the fact that the Mac Pro is not on the software’s list of supported devices. Jabbawok used the Chameleon bootloader to emulate EFI64 protocols in Legacy Boot, which was accomplished with a second SATA hard drive, and formatted it accordingly. Afterwards Jabbawok edited the PlatformSupportValues, and installed custom software to enable HDMI out.
The iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro won’t begin to ship to customers until October 23rd. From now until then, Apple will undertake a massive media campaign, providing the Sami.
Needless to say, the hack is for a niche audience. It’s an involved process which requires new hardware, and is intended for a machine that is six years old. That said, it’s interesting to see the steps that Apple’s biggest fans will go to to get the latest software updates working on legacy hardware. If you want to read the step-by-step guide, you can take a look at Jabbawok’s blog. Just be careful, as this method can erase or otherwise damage the contents of your computer’s hard drive.
