CPU-Name

Small py script to change your CPU name if it shows as Unknown in About This Mac

To install, do the following one line at a time in Terminal:

    git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/CPU-Name
    cd CPU-Name
    chmod +x CPU-Name.command

Then run with either ./CPU-Name.command or by double-clicking CPU-Name.command

Instructions for macOS Big Sur (11.0 Beta)

System Integrity Protection (SIP) has to be temporarily disabled for your Mac/Hackintosh.

1. Reboot to Recovery, start Terminal and run:

    csrutil disable
    reboot

3. In macOS open Terminal, navigate to this repo's folder and run:

    sudo mount -uw /
    chmod +x CPU-Name.command
    ./CPU-Name.command

4. Reboot to Recovery, start Terminal and run:

    csrutil clear
    csrutil enable
    reboot

Possible fix (haven't tried yet):

To modify your root system volume: disable SIP and authenticated root mount the root system in some folder mkdir root sudo /sbin/mount -o nobrowse -t apfs /dev/disk1sf /Users/youruser/root/ // lookup the proper disk with mount make the modifications witin /root create a new snapshot with the changes sudo bless --folder /Users/youruser/root/System/Library/CoreServices --bootefi --create-snapshot after that you can re-enable SIP but not authenticated root, macOS will not boot anymore if authenticated root is enabled it will mount the new snapshot readonly again, but it is not signed. Because of that you can't enable authenticated root anymore
