Thanks. How is your fork different from main release?

 

I wonder if its possible to add support for map -r  command to Clover GUI Options menu and also to config.plist in Boot - Arguments section, since reconnect -r seems to be supported in that section (or not)? That would hopefully allow to auto run the code below after NVMe driver start at Clover boot from the config.plist to launch OS from an NVMe drive on partially supported by Clover Legacy Mobos, since startup.nsh doesn't seem to work for that (or at all).

 

reconnect -r
map -r
fs0:\efi\boot\bootx64.efi

 

My fork differs only in a few build scripts. Lately, I've been mostly testing OpenCore-Patcher 3.0.0 - Experimental Fork.

I changed my gpu with a. 6950xt and now I need the ssdt attached to boot with opencore. Before I had a 560 and I could boot with clover but now I'm forced to use opencore cause clover doesn't boot even with the ssdt. I'd like to use clover, any tips?

you can do the same spoof only using Device properties in your config.plist (both for oc or clover)

this below is for clover :

The Release has been updated: Fixed incorrect display of Clover version during boot. The bug was imported from the parent repository. Sorry to All! 🙁

In the latest release of Clover 5165, for some reason, when I install it, all my kext folders end up inside a folder of the same name. For example, 15 is created inside the 15 folder, but only if no such folder exists. Is this the case for everyone else?

Hi @MakAsrock

First of all maybe better if you telling are not using Original repos of Clover

to me this is the contents from the original update from today (f5795e70f)

From the Package there is the same

1. I asked, without being aggressive, about the substance of the complaint here.
2. I checked this morning and the fix came out in the evening.

3. I tested it using the Clover EFI version downloaded from here.

4. It didn't turn out so fatally for me.

5. Yes, everything is fine now Clover EFI

Amazing Hack my brother!!!

Guys, I've some generic questions about Clover features:

 

1. Why Clover Shell option doesn't show up in GUI after an original Clover ISO boots from Ventoy or similar tool prepared USB flash, except by BDU tool that unpacks the ISO to the flash?

 

2. Why my Rapoo MT7505 USB Mouse doesn't work with any launched Clover release regardless of the PC USB port used, BIOS settings or Clover mouse drivers added to the BDU flash drive?

 

3. Can a bootable Clover ISO be extracted, edited and then saved by any Windows ISO building app like PowerISO etc? I tried but the ISO doesn't boot after edit despite its .bif file was added by the app. If not, why and what's the best way to run Clover_makeiso.bash in Windows 11?

 

4. Is there a way to hide CDBOOT on-screen messages to make Clover ISO boot silently?

 

Hope, Clover themes is not the only topic discussed here. 😍

 

Spoiler

1. Because the Shell is absent. Check EFI/CLOVER/tools/Shell64U.efi. If not download from Clover github releases.

2. Some mice really are not compatible with BIOS drivers.  Check also your BIOS settings about USB legacy support.

3. Windows didn't see partitions on USB stick. It accounts USB stick as a whole memory not divided into partitions. BDU works in Windows by own access to this block device.

    I know nothing about scripts in Windows 11.

4. May be config.plist->Boot

Hi guys, We have news: soon, if @Hnanoto’s commit is approved, preliminary tests have been carried out and installation via the Recovery method is working. Like in Opencore.

Hmmm🤔can you elaborate please.

My friend Max

i use recovery without problem also in 5165 release or maybe Do i miss something?

 

 

[Max.1974]

@fabiosun  Congratulations, my friend fabiosun, this shows that your configuration is excellent. Did you compile this 5165 release just now? 

 

As always, it’s a pleasure talking with you, my friend. If it was due to the changes, it’s because there was a difficulty and commits were made to better adjust Recovery mode, similar to how it works in OpenCore. And the program to download the Recovery folder also helps with this. 

 

https://github.com/hnanoto/macOS-Recovery 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To better understand and answer you, was the method you used entering an already installed Recovery mode? Because this would be the method to be used from the Recovery folder downloaded from Apple for those who don’t have the full installer or can’t create it from Windows. This makes it easier for anyone creating a functional and compatible EFI to download this, or use a Windows program (such as the one from Henrique’s GitHub repository) called macOS-Recovery, specially developed and free for Windows.

 

 

 

Henrique @Hnanoto  and I were having difficulty testing the Clover binaries, and the changes just approved by Slice resulted in improvements.

 

So Clover 5166 has been released on GitHub. 😉

With great difficulty, I forked Clover Release 5166. I also translated the templates for Issues and Contributing. 
Without first creating tag 5166, the build won't be created and GitHub Runner crashes. 🙄

git tag -f 5166
git push --force origin master
git push --tags --force

 

The repository itself and the release are in the same place.
Clover revision: 5166 (master, commit 736a1cf)

MD5 (sym/Clover_r5166.pkg) = a856249830a370e5e93a6d65aaed257d

Thanks to hnanoto! 🙂
