Is it supposed to? (me, I'm thinking this is intended behaviour). My 2008 MBP does the same thing. When the lid is open, the light isn't on. When I close the lid, the light comes on to let me know it's still on. Then if it goes to sleep, it does the slow flash.
Yeah, that's what it should do. The Power LED should not be on at all times, it only comes on when the display isn't on.
Did you just reboot or did you use a utility (such as kext utility - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Kext-Utility.shtml) to flush and rebuild your kernel cache? (also fixes permissions too) - with you populating files in that directory, they'll be owned by YOU, not the system (root:wheel).
Yeah, what you need to do is reboot the system, open the tool, refresh updates twice, reboot again, open tool, patch desired update, refresh updates ONCE only, then check the App Store.
Here's a novel idea. You could go back to page 77 (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-12-sierra-unsupported-macs-thread.1977128/page-77) when PB6 came out and read. There's been lots of information posted...you really should use the information that's already available to troubleshoot your issue.
Ooh. Maybe you've been trying too hard and they temporarily blacklisted you? Hopefully you haven't been hammering them since you wrote that.. (me, I would have rebooted and tried again...maybe after about an hour delay?).

So, what have you done in terms of troubleshooting?
*hint*. The message above the last one you posted was actually something you could have tried.
One page back, I posted where the .dist file is. /private/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068/C/softwareupdated/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.SUCatalogDataManager/s/031-72720
If you have that folder, then there's a .dist file for dosdude1's tool to patch. If you don't, then the software updater hasn't properly done an update.
If you monitor the folder
/private/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068/C/softwareupdated/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.SUCatalogDataManager when you do a software update, you'll see when it adds updates, as you'll have folders with the current date and time when they're snatched.
Until there's a software update for dosdude1's tool to patch, you're waiting for an update from Apple's servers.
There's lots of hidden folders as part of your Operating System. It's intended to keep users that don't know what they're doing from causing damage and making the system unstable.
Ok, did dosdude1's tool ever state that the update was patched? That you have the .dist file there means that your App Store sees the update as being available, but doesn't recognize it as being applicable to your system. (that's what the tool does - it patches the .dist file so it makes the update available in the App Store).
That you downloaded "before". Ok, I just snagged it to check and mine is reporting as version 3.0. You can also "Patch Update" again, just to make sure the .dist file has been patched.
Yep, just run the kext utility and it'll clean it up. It'll have a Quit button when it's done. Then reboot to reload your system with the changes you've made.
The tool version is 3.0. If i try to reapply the patch, the tool says that the patch is successfully done, and when i refresh the update, i noticed that the time of the dist file didn't change. Does this mean that the file is not patched?
"Refresh Update" really does the same thing that the command line does - it checks for updates. The advantage of doing it at the command line is that you get the feedback. The date on the .dist file should only change when you patch it.
