There is no need for a Clover USB drive if you have it installed on your computer. You can use that one instead.

I did that.

But as a heads up, I had to make 2 kext folders rather than 1 other folder - I made a 10.12 and a 10.13.

Some of my kexts caused kp in high sierra but are needed for 10.12.

The new clover seems to boot my old sierra fine, so I run 2 ssd drives for sierra and high sierra but only need one EFI.

I'm playing with another config plist, named config 10-13 which removes various patches like nvme.

But.....what if someone was to start fresh? With no current install?

Is there a setting in the Config file that would prevent Clover from recognizing an HD that has High Sierra installed on it as bootable? Everything on the disk I am installing HS onto looks right, and I can not get Clover to show it. It shows up fine in my BIOS and if I install clover on the drive, it still does not show up, but if I remove all other drives from the computer and point my BIOS at it, it will boot Clover, but not show any drives to select from.

 

For me, I had to put the apfs.efi driver in Clover/drivers64, not Clover/drivers64UEFI.

Well, if you installed Clover for UEFI, it should go to your EFI partition. For most people, formatting the OS partition is enough for a fresh install. So unless you wipe the entire HDD/SSD (which I think is too much for a fresh install, unless you're me and your damn High Sierra won't get installed unless you do that), you should be fine.

 

What I'm trying to say is that, for UEFI Clover installations, a fresh install of the OS (meaning formatting only the OS partition) will not touch Clover in any way since that's located on another partition.

 

So, if I would want to attempt this, I would make a USB drive with createinstallmedia containing the OS, boot into it from the Clover enabled partition on the SSD/HDD, go into Disk Utility before the installation, format only the OS partition, continue the installation on that partition and that's about it.

 

But then again, it's a good idea to have a backup plan. So...yeah, you could try what I said above, see if it works, but also make a Clover USB drive, just in case the first plan fails or you do something stupid by mistake. Happened to me before. :D

Yes well I never wipe the entire drive for my working install but for trying to bypass the OSInstall mpkg error I tried that and it still didn't help. Also having clover on one USB and just the install .app on another doesn't work for me either, still results in OSInstall mpkg error.

https://bbs.yeshen.com/uc_server/avatar.php?uid=1091844&size=bigHi, i just edited or replaced kexts and did not change the * .efi file. Occasionally stuck in the start screen, or directly black screen? A few days ago there will be config.plist garbled, today is two U disk and ESP are not up ~ because I set up a problem?

Can help me see config.plist that a node set up with clover conflict or wrong, will lead to the start of the black screen and only show clover ver.xxx Uers setting!

Hi,

 

Question maybe is not be in good forum.

 

6b30c738-a391-11d4-9a3b-0090273fc14d is GUID of PlatformDriverOverrideProtocol. Found in CORE_DXE.

It exists in my bios, so why I get this message from clover PlatformDriverOverrideProtocol not found. Installing ... Success ?

 

Just want to understand.

 

Fred

Guys, I tried to follow this discussion, but I still have these questions regarding r4077 (or recent build) now:

 

- Does it boot 10.12.4, 10.12.5, 10.12.6 and 10.3 ?

 

- Do the installers work?

 

- Does it still has a working kext injection?

 

- Does ATI gfx injection still work?

 

- Is Ryzen now working OOTB?

 

- Is boot from APFS supported?

Guys, I tried to follow this discussion, but I still have these questions regarding r4077 (or recent build) now: The recent build on soundforge is still 4077 AFAIK but 4084 is out and it's working great.

 

- Does it boot 10.12.4, 10.12.5, 10.12.6 and 10.3 ? You can boot to 10.12.4, 10.12.5, about 10.12.6 I guess so and about 10.13 NO

 

- Do the installers work? Yes the Installer works, but not form 10.13, for 10.13 you'll need 4084

 

- Does it still has a working kext injection? Injectiosn works fine

 

- Does ATI gfx injection still work? Yes

 

- Is Ryzen now working OOTB? I don't know about Ryzen

 

- Is boot from APFS supported? APFS should work as long as you put apps.efi inside drivers64UEFI or drivers64 but since it's for macOS High Sierra it's kind of pointless because you can't use 4077 to install macOS High Sierra or boot into it. with 4084 you can boot from APFS

I Create a useful tool for Mounted EFI APFS Volume and this is useful for make APFS Volume UEFI bootable Clover

My exemple here: is a SSD one partition APFS /GUID

​So if you have a different APFS Role just mount the right volume.

Edit *******

attaching other tools Command Line EFI Mounter for Mount any  partition; EFI,  Recovery, NO NAME (Windows EFI)

useful for seeing the right APFS Rôle

I am just finish A pure UEFI APFS SSD for my Probook 6570B

Hey guys,

 

I'm using clover 4084 and I'm getting multiple boot entries. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hey there,

 

Everything's fine here.

 

Could you be more specific?

 

Describe how to reproduce the issue.

 

Furthermore, screenshots, boot log and config(gui and boot sections) would be of help.

Hi @Needy,

 

I'm not sure what exactly causes the issue, maybe it's simply that I'm mistaking but I've been trying to test macOS High Sierra and I've been installing it with different settings on different hard drives with different formats (APFS,HFS)

And I have several boot entries.

It's not big deal for me because I can simply remove them I just wanted to make sure that it's not a bug.

 

As long as it is a single incident on my end it's ok but I just wanted to see if anybody else has came across the issue or not.

Clover did not find the protocol with those code

  Status = gBS->LocateProtocol(&gEfiPlatformDriverOverrideProtocolGuid, NULL, (VOID **) &PlatformDriverOverride);
  if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
    DBG("PlatformDriverOverrideProtocol not found. Installing ... ");

The Guid is the same

  ## Include/Protocol/PlatformDriverOverride.h

  gEfiPlatformDriverOverrideProtocolGuid = { 0x6b30c738, 0xa391, 0x11d4, {0x9a, 0x3b, 0x00, 0x90, 0x27, 0x3f, 0xc1, 0x4d } }

But I am not sure about LittleEndian or BigEndian is your BIOS.

I remember when this problem plagued our mainboard. I have not had this issue since updating to latest bios F21.

Yes, for Gigabyte Z170 motherboard it is the solution but I hate BIOS F21, I want F5.

For entries to not duplicate me and you have to delete file /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

But sure to have /EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.EFI to be in BIOS BOOT MENU

This button will help you

Hi guys,

 

Thanks for the replies but the weird thing is that the multiple boot entries is not happening to my Gaming 5 mobo it's happening to my Asus P8H77 :(

What is the difference now between both "FirmwareFeatures" and "FirmwareFeaturesMask" in the latest revision?

As I see there is misunderstanding for many users what is value and what is mask.

FirmwareFeatures is a set of bits each one corresponding to one feature.

FirmwareFeaturesMask is a mask what to check and what to not check.

Mask like 0xff1fff3f mean that we don't want to check if bits 0xE00C0 are set or not. Anyway this is our decision set or no these bits.

So why this restriction? I suppose to use FirmwareFeaturesMask=0xFFFFFFFF which means check all bits we set.

Other opinions?

Here's a fix for those having issues with the firmware during macOS High Sierra installation.

 

Needs testing to make sure it's not causing issues for others.

 

Best regards.

 

That works!

Thank you very much.

 

Is it ok if I share it with friends in China? I have mentioned the source (see here).
