EFI EBC Evergreen rom hacked
Apple made two checks in their efi ebc driver for 5870 and 5770, to preventus flashing pc cards.
But nothing can stand against me:D
Sshot of first flashed(with ebc rom) 5870 running in MacPro
bad news,still no efi boot screen, good news, it should support macpro 1,1/2,1 now, more at forum thread

so we “should” be able to flash pc 5870’s and 5770’s for use in mac pro’s now correct?
Excellent!!!
Netkas, you’re the best!
‘grats netkas 🙂
Wow, you are the man…
GG!
What does “Evergreen” mean?
Hi !
Sounds great. However, please, could you elaborate a little more so other people like me can understand the scope of what you did and why it is such an achievement.
In particular, what new features/new possibilities does the flashing of these two graphic cards give to the user. Why were the protection put in place by apple necessary in the first place ? (what’s in it for them)
And, what kind of protections (two) are we talking about.
I am jus being very curious. Thanks for reading me.
Congrats netkas, this is much like the work i did on my 9800GX2 to get it working in my Mac Pro, I had the card initialising itself, no EFI boot screen, but full support in the OS.
Does it make sense to flash a HD5770 PC version for hackintosh or does this only work with real MacPros?
where is the new ebc rom? I didn´t find it
netkas ftw 😀
clou, that’s what ati calls the hd5xxx series of gpus afaik
I will try with a Sapphire VaporX 5870. Where’s the rom ?
@ Fred
According to the fact you’re french (as i am), you can follow those steps on MacBidouille (they just flashed a Vapor-x) :

Evergreen is codename for RV870 chipsets (Radeon HD5800s).
[…] ceux qui souhaitent profiter de la nouvelle génération de cartes graphiques, il est possible de flasher une carte PC ATI Radeon 5870 ou 5770 qui devaient être uniquement destinées aux nouveaux Mac Pro. Du coup, […]

Привет всем!!!!
Нужна помощь по видеокарте ATI 5870
I was thinking, would we have efi boot screen if the first card was an original 5870 and the second a flashed one?
(providing enough power was supplied to the cards, obviously)
Any news about supporting ATI HD 5570 yet?
