Juanchin Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi everyone. I have a question that may seem not important, but I will appreciate hugely if someone could help me: For many years I've replacing my Finder and Trash icons with ones I like, but Catalina doesn't allow it anymore because of the new read only system partition. Of course I disabled SIP, but obviously now this is not enough. I also tried several options as:mount -uw / # mount -uw / sudo mount -uw / but the answer is always //AppleInternal, error No such file or directory Can anyone help me to make the new system partition writable just to have my old and loved dock? Thanks a lot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339035-pre-release-macos-catalina/page/32/#findComment-2679310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badruzeus Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I don't honestly understand what does "//AppleInternal.." mean, but as far as I know it' s just a warning that can be ignored, not error. Also appears on Terminal eg. after rebuilding prelinkedkernel, it seems not related with.. (on your case) after did `sudo mount -uw /` your system root is rewritable (temporarily). Also `killall Finder` if you're dealing with it. Thanks @crazybirdy for his script, Catalina's System root is writable by default with HFS+, 3rd party Apps also appear on Lanchpad after simple drag n drop them to /Applications just similar to Mojave or prev macOS, and no Data partition as bonus #LoL. Guessing there will be no update notif from Apple but.. no worry for now, the catalog is still alive on Apple server right?

I already removed all the kext from “Other” folder except of FakeSMC. still Booting stops. I tried to reinstall Catalina without luck. Please can anyone look at my screen photo and make any suggestion? I found only that “disk2/s1: Device is not readable” and it is boot device - my hard disk. I am on HP Envy laptop. Skylake I7-6250U, Intel HD540. I looked at your Clover folder and there is nothing that should be causing your HDD to be unreadable. If you switch to VirtualSMC, remove the SMCHelper.efi driver. But in the screenshot above, I noticed that the stall occurs not when it finds the Catalina partition to be unreadable but when it unmounts it. It may be that, during final installation, you get an error that causes the partition to be unmounted so that when you reboot, it's still unmounted. I can't be certain but you might try booting to the recovery partition or possibly your Mojave partition and see if the Catalina partition is mounted. If it is, when rebooting, select Catalina as the startup disk in system preferences and see if it works. You could also try booting into single-user mode and manually mounting your Catalina partition "sbin/mount -uw /". Lastly, I doubt it matters but you might try deleting your custom drive list in Clover's config.plist and setting scan to automatic.

headkaze Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) 15 minutes ago, chris1111 said: Its Developper Update , run the Dev Utility and you up to go Quote Today Apple released the first Public Beta of macOS Catalina 10.15 (19A487m). MacOS Catalina 10.15 (19A487m) Public Beta was released today on June 24th, 2019 at 12:00 CST. The first Public Beta was released just three short weeks after 10.15 Catalina was first announced at WWDC19. Even though this seems really early, the first public beta of macOS 10.14 Mojave was release just 2 days later on Jun. 26th 2018. This Build Version (19A487m) looks to be the same as Beta 2 (19A487l). You will not find this update in software update if you are running Beta 2 (19A487l). If you are running the current version you do not have to worry about updating or reinstalling with (19A487m).

What do you think may cause problem? Glad to hear you got your laptop to boot. I'm sure that your graphics settings are the likely culprit at this point. Your ig_platform_id was bogus. You need to use the correct one. For the HD530, you use 0x19120000. I'm not sure if that works for the HD540. You also add a Fake Device ID 0x19128086 in Devices. Lastly, make sure Inject Intel is enabled.

mnfesq Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) My System Preferences Dock icon has a notification badge. Usually, that means I have an update. But I don't. How can I tell what the badge is referring to? There are no badges on any of my System Preferences Icons when I open System Preferences. Is this a glitch? Is it unique to Catalina or does it happen in other versions of macOS as well? P.S. - killall Dock doesn't help.
