Bootloader Enoch r2922

Is the last version of Enoch able to update OS, example update El Capitan to Sierra without fresh install?

Hey, i have been testing this release on my "El Captain" and accidentally deleted the "boot" file in the root derictory of my os. Where can i get this file please (r2326). I have tried the previous release(2725) but it cant boot.

Hey, this is probably the most terrible thing I have ever had to do but I am stuck with a 10.6 MacBook that I cannot upgrade to any other version. I try to use Enoch on it and it seems like it will succeed installing but it ends with "Installation Failed". I do not have any more info about the failure.

 

Thanks anyone in advance.

Hello, I installed MacOSX Sierra, but I can not start the video. I'm hd3000 and z77 chipset. Someone with such a configuration?

Anybody?

can install to os sierra

Was a question?

Hello,

 

I do not know what changed on this version, but it breaks the boot on an old LGA 775 config where as r2839 works perfectly.

 

I just get a boot error message, that's it.

 

Thanks for the hard work !

Useless w'o posting the error

Useless w'o posting the error

 

I know but cannot say more for the time being. I just have Boot Error, and it is not 100% of the time. It may boot, it may not boot. 

When I have more details, I will post.

As you are online, quick question. I read all the possible threads on the web, I cannot enable the Nvidia web drivers. I own a Quadro 4000, and my computer always reboots using the default MacOs drivers. Any clue ?

 

Congrats for this diamond piece of software.

 

Edit: this is the log I got: Installation says failed at the end. I saw that the log included support for Nvidia Web drivers. I still cannot manage to make them work. r2848 works though (except when it does not :-/)

Still not able to load NVIDIA web drivers after ticking the check mark from the NVIDIA preference panel. Hey Mickey, if it's not too much trouble could help me out. Thanks

P.S.: I have already posted a thread regarding my issue here

man you guys rocks

micky and ermac

or

ermac and micky

either way

i hope this works i'm going to try it out right now

i been waiting years for a new version of filenvram

 

i tried the 2848 but it didn't load my web driver

but i always knew that it was because i was missing filenvram which is now require to boot the nvidia cards in sierra

and the previous version were incompatible with yosemite, el capitan and sierra

filenvram is also need it to have nvram support for everything else not just for the nvidia card to work

 

i will test then report back

thanks excellent job

It works excelent!  both on 10.11.x && 10.12.x with a compatible Web Driver:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-24svn-official-pkg-installer/page-209?do=findComment&comment=2396129

not working for me, i'm not new to enoch i was using enoch until the other day using el capitan then with the new os release "sierra" i have to switch to clover, the reason why i switched to clover was because of the nvram support which chameleon lost after mavericks.

 

i verified all the option to see if anything new was added related to the nvidia web drivers but i don't see the new flag which is required for the web drivers to work at least using clover

 

do i have to enter the flag manually at enoch boot menu

 

ok the last time i checked there it was 2 files require to have file nvram working or partially working on the new system.

since in enoch description it was mentioned the new release of file nvram version 1.15 i tought that everything was included in the bootloader

and i didn't have to put the file nvram kext file in S/L/E or L/E

so i don't know what the deal is

i have to try some different method and combinations but i really don't have time right now

 

most likely i will test the nvram module with el capitan or yosemite since i can't boot sierra because of the web drivers problem

so if anyone have some info about this matter please be my guess and give a brother a hand

thank you 

i have a funny feeling that this is some kind of April fool bad joke

 

This revision of Enoch contain the upcoming FileNVRAM revision 1.1.5

 

i don't understand how it contains the upcoming version of filenvram 1.1.5

if filenvram version 1.1.5 is already inside the bootloader

unless they later update version 1.1.5 to the upcoming version rc8

 

let's get serious and try to clear things up a bit

Is not a joke...

remove you filenvram from your extra/module (old 1.1.3) then with the installer select the new one (is 1.1.5 RC7)

yep I know is not mentioned in the description.. cause: the module is still under develop/testing

 

ErmaC

r2877 works very well. Almost everything perfect. It boots the Recovery HD. No problem with shut down, restart, sleep, USB etc.

 

Please consider to add the following options to make it better.

 

1. Ability to boot the InstallESD.dmg (vanilla macOS Sierra Installer) restored to the USB flash drive.

2. Hide  Recovery HD partition on boot screen and like real macs, press and hold Command+R should show an option to boot Recovery HD.

3. A menu item or a command option to reset/clear NVRAM on the boot screen.

 

It is now much better than Clover. Thank you very much for this wonderful boot loader.

1) already can

2) already you can done this by hiding entries in org.chameleon.boot.plist. Maybe we can study something else.. like mentioned by you..let see...

thanks ermac i mean no offense and no disrespect but you know how sometimes people joke around in that date

anyway that's why i had my doubts because i know you guys are serious persons

now that i know and i understand because you explained, i never installed version 1.1.3 because that version never worked with yosemite, el capitan or sierra 

the closest thing to a working nvram was 1.1.4 and it had some issues

my doubt was that version 1.1.4 had 2 files the dylib that goes in extra/moudules and the kext file that goes in S/L or S/L/E 

 

i only installed the new one version 1.1.5 the one that is in the bootloader enoch 2877

it doesn't show the specific version like the other version of chameleon or enoch that you see the file version in the boot loader menu installer

but i trusted that it was version 1.1.5

 

so my question is

do i need to install the FileNVRAM kext from version 1.1.4 because there is no FileNVRAM kext version 1.1.5

or just install the 1.1.5 version of FileNVRAM.dylib in modules because for me the dylib alone is not working at least on my system 

i know you guys test everything before releasing it that's why i said on my system because some times the possibility exist that it might not work on some systems

 

anyway i think i'm going to try adding FileNVRAM kext to see if it does anything 

also i remember a post i while back mentioning to enter a flag so the flag stays active in the nvram in order for the web drivers to load

anyway i will run some test now but if i run into trouble i just try with el capitan or yosemite because i know any of those 2 will load just fine

 

once again thanks for your wonderful job and also for taking some of your time to explain, i appreciate that 

 

edit

i know that up to file version 1.1.3 it was only the FileNVRAM.dylib that was need it to have a working nvram in enoch/chameleon

but in version 1.1.4 they came out with also having to add the kext file

so is version 1.1.5 like version 1.1.3 meaning using only the dylib and no kext file require

1) already can

Tried it, but failed. Not even detect the USB drive on the boot screen. Could you tell me how?

 

Thanks.

Sorry I'm not ErmaC, but you really should install only the new module and delete any FileNVRAM.kext here and there..

1.1.4 was never released by meklort (creator/mantainer) an sure was an unofficial build by someone.

This module instead is still unofficial, but I'm working with meklort that accepted some changes by me. Just moments ago I received an improved version by Him to test

Tried it, but failed. Not even detect the USB drive on the boot screen. Could you tell me how?

 

Thanks.

I mean installers created with createinstallmedia. Last time I tried worked, if now can't ..will be fixed soon
