MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update

why don't they just say which model number the update is for .....not everyone can remember when their laptop was produced i'm guessing this is for model 5,1

Brilliant! Fixed the incessant flickering on MBP that's been going on for months now (was getting ready to bring it in since it's still under warranty...but kinda sucks living without a computer for a few days, as sad as that may be). In any case, install without a hitch and there has been no flickering of the display since - it's like having a new computer!

Would install into Core Service Folder on my Early 2011 MPB 13", but the firmware update process after reboot would never initiate. Worked fine on an Early 2011 MBP 15", however.

Would install (into Core Services Folder) but not update my MBP 13"" Early 2011's firmware. Did work on a 15" Early 2011, though.

Early 2010 MBPs? Maybe I missed something, but afaik there are only mid-2010 MBPs. As firmware updates are no joke, why not clearly state, say, MBP5,3 or MBP6,2? One can easily check in System Profiler/System Information.

Works fine under Snow Leopard 10.6.8, too.

Installed without a hitch. Check out the new About This Mac in the Apple Menu!

Awesome! I've tried Internet recovery (cmd-r) and it is awesome! Thanks

Noticed you can now select Wifi network when OPTION booting, even on Snow Leopard. Firmware update went without a glitch. Don Montalvo, TX

> resolve issues with Apple > Thunderbolt Display compatibility Sigh... WHICH issues specifically? Would it kill Apple to share this little secret with us customers?

As always, rely on Software Update to determine your machine's eligibility for this, or any, update. SU installed the MBP Software Update before it would even show this firmware update. Installation went without a hitch. Boot ROM on my 17" went from MBP81.0047.B04 to ...B0E. The AMD EFI driver was updated from 01.00.504 to ...521.

Been waiting for this...hoping it resolves some lockups. Went smoothly. Fingers crossed. Don

Just installed the update through Software-update. No problems whatsoever! ;-)

For some (magical?) reason, the update just showed up in Software-update! ;-) I will install it and let you guys know how it went.

No problem here with 15-inch MacBook Pro mid 2010. Update made through Software Update (in Safe Boot), with all external devices disconnected.

Then why does the requirements say: •15-inch or 17-inch MacBook Pro mid 2010 model. I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro mid 2010 model, so I would expect the update to appear in Software-update...

Thats because the update is not necessary for your computer.

I have a MacBook Pro 17" Core i7, but this firmware update does not appear in Software-update. If I manually download the .dmg file, the installer tells me that my system is not supported... Why?!

this is for 2008 and early 2009 mbp's only !

Does something this minor deserve two firmware updates (EFI and SuperDrive)? Was this really a problem?
