    I also have the same issue. Thought it might be because OS X Capitan, but had the same problem on a computer with OS X Mavericks.

    Hey guys, we were able to update using Cactus Firmware Updater 1.07 on our OSX 10.11.6.


    image


    When you encounter an error during the update process, an error log file should be saved in the Home folder.

    The file should look something like this: CactusUpdater-xxxxxxx.log


    Please let us know if you can find the log file and if so, what does it say.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for working on these issue - it nice to see feed back and to know that things are being addressed
