Unsure why you removed the custom entry, as I said all you had to do was remove the volume identifier from GUI/Hide and add the Hidden=true key to the entry to keep it hidden by default. Whatever custom entry you had before put it back and then your entry will be renamed, just don't hide it with GUI/Hide.

I was hiding the preboot volume.

I removed custom entries to help make it easier to get help in renaming high Sierra recovery.

Once again, the log clearly showed you were hiding both volumes and that the custom entry was perfectly fine at finding the volume, you just had it hidden:

1:548  0:000      Checking volume "Preboot" ... skipped because volume is hidden
...
1:548  0:000      Checking volume "Recovery" ... skipped because volume is hidden

So don't use GUI/Hide, put the custom entry back and use Hidden=true key in custom entry to hide it instead. Not sure why when I gave you the solution that you were asking for, you did not do that and instead disagreed. The log is evidence that you are mistaken about which volumes you were hiding.

Looks like that's what you wanted except the reason why you still have Preboot is because you didn't setup that custom entry correctly, you put the volume in Path so you end up with:

Still not a match because of the type, probably need to set to OSX?

1:322  0:036  - [05]: 'Preboot'
1:328  0:005          AddLoaderEntry for Volume Name=Preboot
1:328  0:000      Not match custom entry 2: Volume: match, VolumeType: match, Type: not match

EDIT: Maybe removing type also matches, unsure.

EDIT2: You don't have a path for the entry either.

I have tried all sorts of Paths. Can you tell from my log the correct one?

I'll try removing / changing type and see how that goes for now.

I tried that and it still appears on Clover boot screen.

No man, please try to change type OSXRecovery to OSX for preboot

 

Look the log again:

hey 

it's possible to implement ApplePartitionInfo protocol to clover?

I remember that you PM me about this question.

Of course it is possible, but there is no need to do this, because we already use refit volume handler inside Clover. I'm working on own implementation of APFS jump start driver. Just wait a bit. I have a lot of work and all of my contribution in Clover just a hobby.

Currently, I am not satisfied with my algorithm for searching and reading "JSDR" block via EFI_DISK_IO_PROTOCOL, I'll need to do it much more accurate.

For now, I'm working on generating

"NXSB - > apfs offset id -> blockmap"

"blockmap -> apfs offsetid -> block number"

"block number -> APSB -> root"

structure to find JSDR faster inside apfs partition superblocks (apsb).

If someone interesting in this, I can post my full research with descriptions how APFS works, and how Apple loads driver from APFS_EFI_Boot_Record in UEFI.

Was wondering if anyone is having the same issue. I upgraded Clover to v2.4_r4114 with the following options

 

- Install UEFI booting only, Install Clover in the ESP

- Themes > Embedded

- Driver64UEFI > OsxAptioFixDrv-64

- Install RC scripts on target volume

 

I have a weird issue with the Clover boot entries where the HFS+ partitions for Mac and the Recovery have no icons and just internal hfs displays as the text. I am on the 10.13 beta but r4110_Slim didn't have the issue, is it something with the embedded theme or does all the themes have this issue with this version?

 

Edit: I did answer my question as using the Clover Theme Manager with bootcamp doesn't have the icon issue so it's a bug with embedded theme.

Performance and 'safety' (no way APFS tries to attach to non-APFS volumes) are reasons. ;)

 

I'm working on own implementation of APFS jump start driver.

 

Why? Imo it's nothing but a development aid that will disappear not too far in the future... Any reason using unmodded won't work if the protocol is implemented?

You guys know when the final High Sierra comes out will we need to reinstall fresh from the beta or can do an in place upgrade?

 

Thanks

 

I see no reason why you couldn't simply upgrade from the Beta.

 

Thing is, once you are "subscribed" to Beta builds, you will continue to receive future beta builds for the updates. If that's ok with you, I see no problem.

 

I would recommend a clean install, just in case. Also, doing that will get rid of the Beta seed (there's a command line solution for that, as well, but anyway). So...yeah, I would say it's recommended. Not necessary.

Ok that's good to know. Thanks but was wondering on my laptop I enabled beta updates via this app I ran and now I get beta update notifications. Is there no way to turn that off?

 

Thanks

Well, since there is no final build of High Sierra yet, I'm not sure you can go back to "no beta". Since...they are all Betas. :) So...even if you would go from the Developer Beta seed to Public Beta seed, it's still Beta.

 

You could try unchecking Install macOS updates from App Store System Preferences, but I have to admit, I never tried that, so I have no idea if that will actually stop the update notifications from showing up in the App Store. But I guess there's only one way to find out. :)

 

Still, I wouldn't disable them, especially for Beta builds, since that means you will get no updates/fixes. I'm not sure why you want them disabled. But anyway... You can try the method below and see if that works.

That's because I used my laptop to download the 10.13 beta and build an installer USB but don't want to install it on my MacBook. Just leave my laptop beta free.

 

Thanks
