Any hopes of making the 32bit EFI to 64bit?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

The A1211 has a 64bit CPU but a 32bit EFI, so one cannot boot a 64bit OS on it.  OSX Lion was the last one which works on this MacbookPro.

If one were able to upgrade the EFI to 64bit and hack the firmware code so that it looks like a newer/supported Mac, then its possible to install the latest macOS/Sierra on it.

Any hopes of hacking the book to get this to work ?

Almost all apps which have some form of security builtin, want to use the latest macOS
