Ultimate Thread: 4890 in Mac Pro

[Treksdot]

When copying the block of text located in your text to paste attachment and pasting into Terminal as instructed yields those results. There was no line by line pasting or doubling.

If you copy the block of text you must get something like the first picture, the second picture shows that you have twice the same command which are nor in the script wrote by Pipomolo42 neither in the file "Text to patch".

I can't install my Asus 4890 in my Mac Pro 1,1. The bottom heat sink (like here http://www.legitreviews.com/images/r...0_2gb_back.jpg) is in the way (theres no room for it above the box of the memory board). Or am I getting something wrong? I'm supposed to install the grapics card in slot 1 right?

I tried to install the asus eah4890 ddr5.
It didnt work and I totally bricked the card.Either by following the (at that time) not so perfect instructions or because those cards just dont work.
With the present Cindoris prog things might work.
But think long and hard if you want to go that route.

It had the exact same memory heatsink in it, wich I promptly removed with needlenose pliers. After that it fit there.


But in short,that card might or might not work. Probably wont.

Oh sh*t, that doesn't sound too good.

But I don't think they'll let me return the card to the store anyway...

Macinposh, weren't you the guy that bricked your card cause you flashed using iMac firmwares instead of 4890 roms? so basically, no one has tried the asus yet.

I (still) wrote after that

"sudo kextload ATIROMFlasher.kext"
"sudo open ATIFacelessFlash.app"
"sudo kextunload ATIROMFlasher.kext"

Then I restarted.
Then it got stuck in the neverending boot chime...

probably.

streetwise: go try the asus with app in my sig. I would try a sapphire rom. Be sure to backup your rom with GPU-Z in windows first.

So there's no reason the ASUS card couldn't work?

I think I'll try to return the card and get a Sapphire one. If they don't take it back I'll try to flash.

Removing those heat sinks won't cause any overheating issues?

What else can I say Peloche? I'm following the instructions as given and that's what's happening. I'm not the first to have this odd behavior using Pipomolo42's method but he/she never got a resolution to the matter.

Hi Treskdot,

Could you please make available the original rom you've used to get these results, i would like to have a look, if you could md5 it.

Thanks Treskdot,

I made the necessary modifications (displacing MCuC, changing MCuC address, etc..), ran Pipomolo42 4 lines script in one block in terminal (without problem), ran fixrom.py and the result is attached.

If you have the means (pc) to test it and go back to your existing without any problem, it could be good for the communauty since i couldn't test a 7D length rom. It's up to you.

Actually I can already tell you it will work since the one you made is the exact same as the one Rominator posted here, bit for bit and checksum for checksum. Nevertheless thank you for taking the time to roll the ROM and especially for your guide so people can make custom ROMs for their cards. Hopefully no one else runs into the oddity I did.

Just confirming that a working custom ROM has been made for the HIS H489F1GP 4890 cards.(Hint hint Cindori.)
