Hi again, and Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I noticed that errant link, but had already downloaded both of those files anyway.
Everything is fine up until the following section of the
first terminal session. The script seems to refer to a Volume named '
iMacUpdate' but the Volume I see on the Desktop is named '
iMac EFI Updater'. I don't know how to resolve this discrepancy, and I can only assume the errors found in the
second (sudo) terminal session are because of this issue. The correct files aren't being extracted, so no further actions can complete. I feel it is sooooo close, but am at a loss as to how to proceed...
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
Thanks again!

Hi Cuban,
I'm SO sorry!
You are totally right, there was something wrong with my instructions. After checking it I have discovered the Efi update 1.1 link was not the correct one.
I have corrected my original post, so please try to download Efi upadte 1.1 from the new link and try again the procedure!
Hi Cuban,
I think in this iMac EFI world I'm more a padawan than a jedi!
First of all, please take a look to my response to Wurlitzer1 because I made other mistake with the script used in the second terminal session (it is not the correct one).
Then, regarding your problem...
- Efi update 1.1: iMacFirmwareUpdate.dmg to -> iMacEFIiMac41.dmg -> It mounts "/Volumes/iMacUpdate"
- Efi update 1.2: iMacFirmwareUpdate1.2.dmg to -> iMacEFIiMac51.dmg -> It mounts "/Volumes/iMac EFI Updater"
The problem you are having is related with iMacEFIiMac41.dmg. Are you sure that .dmg is Efi update 1.1? Can you double check it?
