  • how to switch back into windows

  • @shivamsemwal123 what do you mean?

  • Hey DrJailBreak, with the OSX Vmare Image I get up to building my IPSW and it asks me to provide a password to login to continue the operation. The username is Mac Admin. Has this happened to anyone before or? Please reply.

  • @JaybelsXD try xelabo or password as the passwords

  • READ: Can pwnge tool save your firmware and all your stuff u have on their. And when i switch to different firmware then dont like and switch back will i have my same stuff.

  • @ForGivenClan all it is doing is creating a custom firmware which if you choose to add packages into the bundle. As for saving your stuff, that isn't what this does.

  • Thanks, dude, this tutorial rocks!! To anyone trying this, if you're seeing the Apple Logo & the spinning circle indefinitely, Ludwigbear's tip will save the day:

    2) Switch on "VMWare kernel paravirtualization" in Virtual Machine Settings -> Processors

  • @ultramerb15 No... I had got it... its Windows Key... LOL

  • @thesanju6383 try ctrl on your mac instead of shift

  • @NoyShank I've been trying to figure this out for like half an hour.. I guess he expects us all to know how to use VMware....? Good tutorial besides skipping that important step...

  • Crtl+Alt

  • @thesanju6383 you will need to {ALT+(Click On Restore button)} in Mac

  • How the hell do I get files from win to Mac?

  • @shivamsemwal123 press Ctrl+alt and u r out of vmware..

    

  • When I try to start the Mac VM, it seems stuck at the apple logo screen with the working "wheel" turning underneath. It won't finish booting up. I've tried re-starting already, and it just seems stuck. For 10 minutes.
