But it turned out named SD card had some corrupted sectors (I wasn’t aware of this when doing my BIOS flash unfortunately!) I had all my flash files prepared on my MicroSD card. ‘Funny’ thing is it all went wrong with the BIOS Instant Flash feature and with a non-patched BIOS. Of course I have been up- and downgrading my BIOS a lot which always is kind of risky – even more when you are using patched firmwares / BIOS’es.

But that’s not because I abandoned this site, but rather because I fried my mainboard when a BIOS update failed. There haven’t been some updates for quite a while. | Tagged iTunes, OS X, Versions | Leave a comment So I have to start one myself (the SHA1 value is the InstallESD.dmg, which was downloaded from Apple’s AppStore): It appears there is no list available regarding which OSX version comes with which iTunes version out of the box – or I couldn’t find this list.

So far I couldn’t get a decent raw sound import on a more current application & platform.

Update: Seems you can convert the raw file on Mac OS 9 and SndSampler 5.4 If someone finds an easy way to play the raw file, just post a comment 🙂 You can use also ocenaudio to preview the sound (in messy quality). To play it you would have to mux it into an AIFF file with correct header and chunk data (FORM, COMM, SSND,…). It is encoded using Apple’s version (IMA 4:1) of the IMA ADPCM compression format. So now you have the extracted raw start-chime of 58,548 bytes file size. So we can just use dd in terminal to extract it:ĭd if=~/Desktop/BootROMFirmware of=~/Desktop/start-chime.raw bs=1 skip=821276 count=58548 The sound chime has a size of 0圎4B4 (58548) bytes and starts at offset 0xC881C (=821276). Well the BootROMFirmware contains the famous startup sound / chime.

locate the file Contents\Resources\BootROMFirmware.

In the extracted folder locate Applications\Utilities\Xserve Firmware-Updater and show its package contents.

In the sub folder named Contents is the file:.

Look for the file XServeFirmwareUpdate.pkg and show its package contents.

For example this one from the Xserve G5 XServeFirmwareUpdate.dmg

Get a firmware from a PowerPC Mac as these are based on OpenFirmware (not EFI) and thus easier to extract.

While so far I couldn’t find a way to extract the sound from an Intel / EFI based firmware, there seem to be ways to get the sound from PowerPC based Macs.

As I learned it is (or used to be at least) part of the Macs firmware. This cought my attention and I was interested to find out where this sound is stored (on older Mac’s).

It seems that on its 2016 MacBook Pro’s Apple has deactivated it’s famous startup sound / chime.

Rename your file with a ‘.caf’ extension.

Strip the 1st 4 bytes in hex editor for example (everything before the ‘caff’ identifier).

Right-click on the Raw section and select “Extract as is” and safe it somewhere.

Launch UEFITool and open the file and click on “Intel Image”.

Copy MBP131_0205_B02_LOCKED.fd (for the MacBookPro13,1) somewhere on your machine.Open InstallESD.dmg in Contents -> SharedSupport.Right-click on it and select Show Package Content.

Download macOS Sierra Build 16B2657 from the appStore.

You can find it yourself with the following steps: While the sound itself has been disabled, I found the iconic chime is still part of the firmware itself (File GUID: 03C70B0D-67E6-5C16-8E57-312DF246A961) as part of the MacBookPro13,1 (and 13,2 or 13,3) firmware.
