Mondstaub Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hallo everybody :)) I recently got a near new Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB for free and decided to use it to install Sierra on it. I have a Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Audio Interface which i currently run via USB on El Capitan 10.11.6. Now i want to use the Interface's TB connection. To be able to use it i learned that i need to install a extra TB card, in my case a ASUS TB EX3. So i updated my Hack from El Capitan 10.11.6 to Sierra 10.12.6(16G29) using the App Store and clover v2.4kr4542. Now i have on the new 2nd SSD Sierra 10.12.6(16G29) running, but the NVIDIA WebDrivers do not work, as well as the HooToo USB 3 Hub only recognizes the optical mouse and keyboard, no USB Stick is recognized. Sound via my AA Discrete 8 works fine. I installed the recommended WebDrivers for the build after the install finished. In addition i used Terminal to enter sudo nvram nvda_drv=1 command put a nvramFile.kext to L/E and nvram.dylib to Extra/modules. With configurator i changed the SMBIOS to a 14,2 iMac and System Parameters to Inject System ID and NvidiaWeb. As i was using this "new" version of clover i was not sure if i have checked the right boot options on the clover boot screen. With only the option nvda_drv=1 checked i couln't boot into Sierra, only with nv_disable=1 i could boot into Sierra again with only OSX DefaultGraphics driver running. I'm still able to boot into my running El Capitan 10.11.6, where all runs fine. So i hope that someone of you might be able to help me, point me in the right direction. Sys Specs: ASUS Maximus VIII Hero Skylake i7 6700K, EVAGA GTX Geforce950SC, 3xSamsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB, 1 for OS X El Capitan 10.11.6, 1 for OS X 10.12.6(16G29) and 1 for Data etc. ACER T23HL Touchscreen Monitor(running with TouchBase UPDD Drivers with occasional hickups), Antelope Audio Discrete 8 via USB.

Hangten Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Try using Clover Configurator (mount EFI) open the config.plist and go to section SystemParameters, check NvidiaWeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did now reeboot 3 times, each time choosing different boot args on the clover boot screen and boot macOSwith selected options. Once with nvda_rdv=1, once with nvda_rdv=1 and nv_disable=1 and once without any options selected. All three times i could boot, yet NVIDIA WebDriver Manager displays OS X Default Graphics Driver as used in the menu bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ricoc90 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Don't use nvram.dylib and nvramfile.kext since you are using Clover. These are for Enoch. Also, sudo nvram nvda_drv=1 is not needed. The installer package does this by itself in it's post-installation script. Can you post your EFI folder? Hide the serial in your config and omit the theme folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide the serial in your config and omit the theme folder Hi Rico, I removed the nvran.dylib and the nvramFile.kext from it's locations on the Sierra OS SSD. I used Plist editor to change the serial in .plist to xxxxx, removed the themes folder from the EFI Folder, but i can't upload the EFI Folder. First it was too big, so i removed the firmware.scap file to have 12Mb less. Now it says that there was a problem uploading the file & contact admin. I made a .zip of the EFI folder.
