Help! Does anybody have a late-2009 White Unibody MacBook 6.1?

Somebody help me!
I attempted to install Ubuntu 11.04 onto a separe partition on my MacBook 6.1.
It apparently screwed with EFI, and now, whenever I boot, I need to do the boot sequence 5 times to get into any OS.
I have to power the mac on & off 5 times...
During the first bootup, the Sleep LED will begin to flash rapidly, and then I'll hear a long beep, then a black screen.
Has anybody experienced this? Somebody help. I can't afford a new Logicboard.

Hey I recognized you from our forums. I have the same MacBook, I'm have u tried taking it to the genius bar, they always fix it and BTW I had that same problem. I had to format my hard drive

The confusing parts are terminal commands that they want you to execute.

- Download Firmware Update 1.7 here.
Open terminal and copy & paste this into the terminal:
Code:
mv MBP55_00AC_03B_LOCKED.scap MB61_00C8_B00_LOCKED.scap
and now:
Code:
sudo bless -mount / -firmware MB61_00C8_B00_LOCKED.scap --verbose
Shutdown and restart. Update the firmware and reboot again.

It can be used as file sharing. legality is related with the person using it. this is also a package in ubuntu distros.

This is a tool, not a warez. There are plenty of legitimate uses for BitTorrent.

No, it uses .rpm files. I suggest you try Ubuntu on your PC first to get experience of the system.

You do realize that in a developer based forum which XDA is (or was at least) you generally do things not because you have to but rather because you can. It's a sad some people don't get that. However, there are far FAR too many people that come here seemingly because they feel this is some kind of tech support site for them instead of going to service centres.

Using Windows 8 :silly:

Go into the o4xr folder and there should be another o4xr folder inside that, and open a command prompt holding shift and right click with the mouse (might work with windows 8) If not the terminal path will have to go through both folders. That happened to me because I had the o4xr folder within another o4xr folder if that makes sense ( if that makes sense) hope that helps

About windows 8 I don't know a thing but, on seven I just double-click on the "root" batch file and the process starts right away...

Well, for me Windows8 will end like Vista, while Windows7 like XP.
Windows 8 for tactil devices have a nice interface but in a normal computer... sh*tty.
I have a Toshiba Qosmio, 18,4", with 8GB of RAM, I7 Intel processor, I can say that is a fast laptop... even like that I un-install all unnecessary programs and functions (except AERO), shortcuts I don´t have, I use two DOCKs for that, soo... have a OS that looks like a windows mobile, is not for me!
Sorry for the Off-topic

can someone actually show me a video of how to root ? maybe i forgot
i only need it for Beats audio

OK...
1st - Install the "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk"
2nd - open the app, while the screen shows "Hello World" press power button and click on "reboot"
3rd - after rebooted and with the phone connected, run the batch file "root" from the folder "onxr".
Wait for the reboots and voila
Don't forget again that the phone must be setted to "charge only" and "debbug" ticked...

Wait... you're with Windows 8?
Cause if you are maybe is not that simple but, first try this:
Copy the 11 files inside the "onxr" directly to disk "C:", open the cmd select C: and type "root", if it doesn't work tomorrow I'll try something else.
Now is time to go to bed :angel:

great solution, or (like me ) you download an windows XP iso , and download VMWare, install windows xp on that , and there you are, you can now do anything windows 8 cant
used this to root
and bootloader unlock my parents wildfire s, and also to update my brothers xperia p to ics

I just downloaded an app that could possibly substitute beats (dsp manager) buts its not as good as beats.
And could I give the phone to someone that could root it for me? That would be nice lol

sudo apt-get -y install mtp-tools mtpfs gmtp
This will install a ubuntu app named gMTP and when you open that, you just attatch your usb with your phone, and click connect

GMTP? Yes it works fine but its not like using wmp to transfer music or anything, you have to completely order your folders from scratch and if you have ocd Like Me that can take a while... It works brilliantly for file transfers but you can only Mount internal or SD one at a time which may be a little annoying otherwise its the best thing for Linux
