Q: Mac Book EFI firmware Update 2.9
Hi,
I bought a new Mac Book Pro on June 14th and every day after that has been filled with regret. Latest problem that I am facing is with the EFI firmware update 2.9, which keeps popping up in the App store update and keeps on installing over an over again and doesn't seem to stop. The 90 days technical support that is supposed to be complimentary is non existent in India so is the customer support.
Apple should post an update that actually gets installed on the system.
Does anybody have the same problem on getting this update to install. ANYBODY.
TY.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

The problem is resolved..
For anyone facing the problem heres what I did.
Run Disk Utility.
Chose the Hardisk and run Verify Disk and then Repair Disk if any error are thrown up.
Choose the Hard disk partition that has the Mac OS X installed in my case it is only one partition as I have removed the Windows Partition and run Verify Disk Permissions and Repair Disk Permissions even if there are no errors after running Verify Disk Permissions.
Then Reboot the Mac Book and download EFI installer as mentioned by mende1 and install the package and reboot the system at the prompt. You will get two options there Restart and Install and Reboot, Choose Restart.
When I checked the system information the Boot rom version is updated to the one shown below, which I believe is the latest one.
Boot ROM Version: MBP91.00D3.B08
And the update doesn't keep popping up when the Software update is run anymore.
Hope this helps.
