Also, to avoid error 


./edksetup.sh: line 149: return: can only `return' from a function or sourced script

when invoking that script with ./, maybe we can update the instructions so that it will be invoked with  ". edksetup.sh" instead. This should work perfectly fine.

 

 

I don't know it. Never encounter.

Really? :)))

 

Cause I always do...when building with UDK2018. And, even though I'm building in Mojave (Xcode 10)...I doubt this has anything to do with it.

But it is not our script. Report to EDK2-devel group.

 

I think it's already been reported...here: https://patches.linaro.org/patch/79255/

 

If I got this right, they say that invoking the script with ./ is actually not ok for this case. I'm not sure why. I'm not an expert. This is just what I got from it...

bdmesg started to report faulty version number: 

3:616  0:000  Starting Clover revision: 01314556 on CLOVER EFI

Do the ebuild.sh script update the Version.h file?

Here is mine: 

#define FIRMWARE_BUILDDATE "2018-06-17 15:46:09"
#define FIRMWARE_REVISION L"01314556"
#define REVISION_STR "Clover revision: 01314556"
#define BUILDINFOS_STR "Args: -n 9 -t XCODE8 --vbios-patch-cloverefi --only-sata0 --no-ext -D USE_LOW_EBDA -D NO_GRUB_DRIVERS -D NO_GRUB_DRIVERS_EMBEDDED -D EXIT_USBKB=1 --x64 | -D USE_LOW_EBDA -D NO_GRUB_DRIVERS -D NO_GRUB_DRIVERS_EMBEDDED -D EXIT_USBKB=1 -D ENABLE_VBIOS_PATCH_CLOVEREFI -D ONLY_SATA_0 -D USE_LOW_EBDA -a X64 -b RELEASE -t XCODE8 -n 9 | OS: 10.13.5 | XCODE: 9.4"

So the script should be faulty...

I removed the file, and tried to build with ebuild.sh, same issue. Somewhere along there is an error.

Edit: I found the culprit:

Change the line 614 in the ebuild.sh to  

		repoRev=$(svn info|awk '{ if ($1=="Revision:") {print $2}}')

So here is the diff: 

614c614
< 		repoRev=$(svn info | grep "Revision" | tr -cd [:digit:])
---
> 		repoRev=$(svn info|awk '{ if ($1=="Revision:") {print $2}}')

Why ome method is better then another? What is your subversion client version?

What is full output of "svn info" in EDK2 folder? In UDK2018 folder?

I tried some hours getting iMessage to work, after updating to 10.13.5. After many testing, i found that CLOVER was to blame. Before i updated to 10.13.5, i installed CLOVER 4498 (coming from 4428).

 

Any CLOVER Version i tried prevented activating iMessage (iMessage Error in systemlog: 13)

 

I tried 4497, 4509, 4458 and 4522. Rolling back to CLOVER 4428 brought back the capability to activate iMessage. iMessage is set up correctly regarding ROM and MLB and never was a issue before.

 

 

Any ideas?

Hi guys,

 

Are the drivers that Clover proposes for installation documented anywhere? I know some of them are. But I couldn't find a proper description for most of them.

And the description within the installer itself is far from being...descriptive enough. :))

 

So, unless you used them before, or you somehow know what they are good for, it's very hard to choose the right ones. Rule of thumb is usually start with only a few ones. But how do you know WHICH ones? Especially since they're not grouped in any way. You don't know which ones are good for what.

 

Some of them are documented here, for as far as I could see. Some of them are in Clover Change Explanations thread...and some others probably scattered throughout the forum.

 

I can collect them in a single thread, that's not a problem (in case nobody did that already). Although, in my opinion, the first place where they should be documented, is on the Clover Wiki. After that, they should be in the actual description box of the installer itself.

 

Still, in order to do that, I would still need a good description for each one of them, in terms of what they are, and what are they good for. Also, whether or not they create conflicts with other drivers.

I too have the same issue, I was trying to find the culprit. I'll take a look at it on the weekend.

this is awesome driver.

OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000

and

OsxAptioFixDrv on sandy laptop(10.6~10.13).

 

there is no problem.

thank you so much.

 

Do you use both OsxAptioFix2 together on the same laptop? I have a sandy bridge laptop and use AptioFixDrv and works but I have some glitches and sometimes the display freezes.

 

What about you? no freezes/glitches? I have 8GB of RAM.

 

I'm gonna try OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000 alone later.

UGH!! Right about June 6 my Messages/Facetime, which have been working for many years, just stopped working. It wouldn’t activate. I spent at least eight hours on Monday trying to figure out why. I deleted pref files, even changed my rock solid config file with new serial number, board serial, ROM, MLB, etc. I even called Apple which I know was a stupid idea.

 

So others are having this same issue? I tried to go back to version 4497 but it didn't work. I think I've screwed something up with Apple activation servers now.

Following the discussion from the separate topic (good investigation, guys!), it seems that the iMessage problem originates from the change at device-inject.c from commit 4497.

 

Before this commit, built-in property injection for LAN was being made by default.

Starting with 4497, an option to control this feature was added, with its default being set to FALSE (so built-in property is being injected only when LANInjection setting is activated).

 

And as we already confirmed in the past, iMessage activation is insisting on the built-in property to exist on some device in order to activate, even if the actual connection is from a different network device.

Perhaps we could consider setting LANInjection default to TRUE, to avoid breaking iMessage for people that are relying on this.

AptioMemoryFix.efi for me works flawless and also is up-to-date.. Give it a try.. The same states for VBoxHfs.efi.. you might realise that HFSPlus.efi is not needed when using VBoxHfs.efi :wink_anim:

 

Yes, it is not needed. For as far as I know, they both do the same thing. BUT....I head VBoxHFs is slower. That's why I'm using HFSPlus in the first place. But maybe I was wrong about this, as well...

And how much VBofHFS is slower? Did you notice?

It is better supported links and listings.

 

 

You're right. I'm sorry. Last time I used it, and that was a long time ago, no, I can't say I've noticed any huge difference. I just went for what I thought it would be the better option. But no, I can't say it's noticeable.

 

Can't really test that right now, since all my drives are using APFS now. I guess I could try that with a USB drive, right? Since those are formatted HFS by default, for as far as I know.

 

Anyway, thank you very much for your feedback.

 

Update: yep, same thing with or without HFSPlus. Also tried AptioMemoryFix. And...so far so good. At least on this system. 

Thank you guys for your feedback.

For me no.

I formatted USB drive to GPT with two partitions: EFI (fat32) and OSInstall (HFS+).

By the way, I tried AptioMemoryFix instead of OsxAptioFix3Drv on a second system, one with no hardware NVRAM and...everything ok. :) Nice job. So I guess I'll be switching to this one by default from now on.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

With AptiomemoryFix, you can use apfsDriverLoader. This driver is compatible only with Aptiomemory. :)
