tobitronics Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi guys, I installed my mac at first using TMX tools and then switched to clover (somehow this was easier for me). I would like to add a recovery partition to my system now to use Find my Mac etc. However I find different stories on the internet, some say it is possible (but they don't say how) and others say it is impossible. So: Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance!

tobitronics Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I tried the second link and it worked to enable find my mac, however when I want to boot to it from clover (which recognizes it as a recovery drive) I get this in verbose boot (normal boot also doesn't work). After a few seconds the system shuts down. How can I fix this? Or is the recovery meant to not work and only enable features?
