(Before the last step, you need the flasher.macosx tool, "chmod -x" it to make it executable using the terminal, then, uh, rename it to flasher for convenience)

Then you type in your admin password and BAM 2006 OS


(Worked in about 2 minutes, props to whoever posted that earlier in the thread)

I wondered why mine wouldn't work! I was trying to follow those same steps I had seen for OSX, but that last little bit you added regarding "chmod", that explaind why i couldn't run the flasher from Terminal.

Oh well - I used the GUI flasher for Mac OSX that was done by Mr. AFlegg...worked perefectly, this is the tool I always use for updates. I believe his tool does the same thing as typing in the Terminal command, except it's made for Linux "know-nothings" like me...

Maybe he can make his tool available for download, I couldn't find it anymore...I just happened to have a copy of it...
