Hi

Any plan to update the tool with 10.13 recovery support?

Thanks.

Yes, but unfortunately not enough free time now.  :(

BDUtility.exe v2.1.2017
rev.021b:

  • The BDU default save path is now saved as a relative path, i.e. ". \", which is useful for removable disks; 
  • Updating the Recovery HD list is disabled (temporarily, because the set of files in the SUCatalog has changed);
  • The download list for Recovery HD is fixed in the program (it is possible to add new URLs to BDUtility.ini);
  • It's possible to do FreeDos boot disk with Volkov Commander;
  • Minor changes and improvements.

Enjoy

Hello.

 

I have a "minor" issue that seems to be unable to update Clover...

Any way to fix it?

 

Best regards.

 

This is usually a temporary sourceforge server error.

@cvad It's not so temporary here at least. I tried it tons of times after the post and tried it again right now. This is the output, virtually identical...

Hello,

first of all thank you for this tool as I don't have a mac/hack right now and I need to reinstall High Sierra on my PC in dual boot. Thank you!

Now let's talk about what happened when I tried to extract the HFS+ partition from .dmg file: when I try to use the tool a cmd window pops up then a string named 5.hfs appears with a percentage. When the string reaches 100% the error pops up.

The created file named 5.hfs is 3.93GB 

P.S. I downloaded the DMG file from the official apple site (1,93GB)

Check winhttp proxy:

C:\>netsh winhttp show proxy
Y:\>netsh winhttp show proxy

Current WinHTTP proxy settings:

    Direct access (no proxy server).

I also tried to manually feed BDUtility with Clover, but isn't detected...

I replied your pm :)

 

So it's not the default structure, but it gets certain files from here and there and generates a new .zip file without the .iso and such but plain zipfile with the files on it. I thought it was just the default downloaded file from Sourceforge downloads in Clover project and didn't require to be processed.

 

Where are "boot6" and "boot7" files from? usr\standalone\i386\x64 ? And where's "boot" file from?

BDU makes such an archive from the downloaded file CloverISO-NNNN.tar.lzma for easy access to content under Windows.

 

About Clover catalog content please see the appropriate topics in the forum.

 

   Good luck.

How to make Clover BDU-ready zip-archive.

C:\MakeCloverBDUReadyZip.bat
Usage MakeCloverBDUReadyZip.bat CloverISO-XXXX.tar.lzma

P.S. The Sourceforge site is often in a disaster recovery mode and requires the use of javascript to work.

You can dl CloverISO-XXXX.tar.lzma via browser and prepare BDUReadyZip manually.
