Is it possible to boot to LastBootedVolume in OpenCore like it was in Clover?

I reinstalled my hackintosh drive with a fresh OpenCore \ BigSur and used TimeMachine to reinstall all the apps \ files and the system is working fine, then I tested the Windows drive and it's also working as before, but I noticed that on boot it defaults to Mac drive, and that is not really a problem when I'm sitting in front of the pc but when working from remote location that option was great so I'm missing that last booted option.

Select the drive that you want to default at the bootpicker then press control and enter and that’s how you set it in OpenCore.

Ok, thanks @AudioGod, it's not the same but it's close enough, I have to remember to choose the right one at the time before leaving.

It remembers your choice unless you switch to a different OS and sometimes sticks until you press control and enter again. (But not always on the Z390 platform). Again that’s this way it works in OpenCore, you can try asking the devs to do it a different way but I know  already what the response will be. Hint, it won’t be what you want to hear or a nice answer :hysterical:

Hello again!

My problem now is with my FENVI T919 BCM94360CD network card and my apple magic mouse and keyboard, bought in 2010, I also bought a Bluetooth extender antenna but it works just as badly, I have looked in forums, I have reinstalled the Bluetooth with alt + shift ... I don't know what else to do, could someone help me?

By the way, both work perfectly in my 2017 MBAir without any problem.

Thanks a lot!

 

I have the same card, and it's working fine in Big Sur with no special changes to the AG's OpenCore 0.6.5 EFI. Make sure it's plugged into the same slot & usb port as this pic:

Thanks for the comment @hackinbot I have exactly the same fenvi card connected, everything works perfectly, WIFI, Airdrop, I did some tests by linking phones ... but my problem is with Apple's magic mouse and its respective keyboard (Bought in 2010 and they carry batteries, not battery). In win10 the same thing happens to me with them, they link and unlink when they want ... what's more, I have an extension antenna to weather the storm ... haha. This is ridiculous, but I have no idea what else to do ...

Anybody tried updating to the latest Catalina Beta 10.15.7 beta. I did and now the sleep/wake function seems to be broken on my hack and reboots every time it goes to sleep. Using AG's latest iMacPro 1,1 EFI with no mods. :( Hiberate is disabled.

So I've been running this setup for over a year. In Big Sur since release. Everything fine until we had a storm last week. Now boot up freezes at Apple Icon with no progress bar. I had a backup bootable OSX but got the same results. So I switched over to my Windows disk (which I hardly ever use) and everything is OK until it asks for my PIN. Keyboard won't enter any letters. Tried two other keyboards. No joy.

 

So I happen to have an unopened Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi in the garage so I rebuild my computer with the new MB. No joy.

 

Somewhere in all this I flashed my MB up to f12K.

 

I realize this is somewhat off topic but any Ideas?

 

(It has occurred to me that since I first did this build I have totally forgotten how I did it in the first place. Oh well.....):poster_oops:

Hi, i have Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi and with F12j bios there is a new voice for disable CFL lock, so is not necessary to unlock manually (or flash bios from first page)?

I've cleared NVRAM and rebuilt kext cache but not rebuild permissions. I mean everything works but I think it is so odd!

 

Should port count be 15?

EDIT:

I've gone back though to see what is happening. When I plug anything into the HS13 ports whether they are USB2 thumb drive or USB3 (the four USB 2 ports at the top of the mobo) Hackintool shows HS01, HS04, HS03, and HS02 turn on (in that order left to right.) HS13 is always on as "USB2.0 Hub." 

 

I did rebuild kext cache, permissions and cleaned NVAM.

This may have been some sort of Hackintool mischief. Since updating to v3.5.3 I only see the ports in @AudioGod USBMap.

Updated to OC 0.6.6 using the fantastic QtOpenCoreConfig and all is working perfectly. Be sure to add the Left.icns and Right.Icns from the OcBinaryData-master is you want OpenCanopy to work properly.

 

NOTE:
QtOpenCoreConfig has been renamed OCAuxiliaryTools-Mac

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this side effect of updating to OC 0.6.6*: No matter what level to which I follow the directions at https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/multiboot/bootstrap.html#updating-bootstrap-in-0-6-6 (including the last bullet point; the first doesn't make sense to me) or read through the red and the blue in Differences.pdf, I can't seem to get the graphical buttons to select OS upon bootup, back. I can leave my config.plist the same as it was in 0.6.5, I can remove BootProtect & Bootstrap from Misc-> Security & put in LauncherOption & Full to Misc-> Boot, I can add back an EFI/OC/Bootstrap folder and copy BOOTx64.efi into it & rename it to Bootstrap.efi. I can clear NVRAM, boot once, and boot again, as instructed. It doesn't matter; no graphical OS selection upon any OC 0.6.6 boot so far.

 

I'm fine with it; the text-based selection is just as functional. I just wonder if I can/should jettison the "Resources" folder, or whether there's a way to bring those icons back. Thoughts, anyone?

 

*(after also having successfully updated to 11.2 under OC 0.6.5)

@juan e. jot https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData Try That

 

As 0.6.6 is a complicated update I will go back on my word and post a Z390 Pro and Master EFI tomorrow.

Ive already made them but haven’t had the time to post it yet.

Soon Come :thumbsup_anim:

Wow, thanks! I hope for your sake, it doesn't have to become a habit.

 

I think you mean the new ModernSelector.icns, but maybe I'm missing whatever more holistic you're going to bring it, cuz adding that to EFI>OC>Resources>Image did nothing for me, cleared NVRAM, multiple reboots, removing & putting back the new Bootstrap folder with a copy of BOOTx64.efi renamed to Bootstrap.efi in it, or not.

 

I'll hang on with the text picker for now, to see what you post, not that you should have to.  Thank you!

What I did with my build was download OcBinaryData, delete the `Resources -> Image` folder from my EFI and copy the one from the downloaded archive.

 

A more detailed update process I did that also includes the Bootstrap changes (0.6.5 -> 0.6.6):

1. Set `config.plist ->Misc -> Security -> AllowNvramReset` to YES / True

2. Note that there is a mistake in the Dortania guide. It's `config.plist ->Misc -> Security -> BootProtect` and not `config.plist ->Misc -> Boot -> BootProtect`. So you need to change  `config.plist ->Misc -> Security -> BootProtect` to `None` on you current EFI.

3. Reset the NVRAM (You can do this from the OpenCore boot picker if you have `CleanNvram.efi` inside your `EFI -> OC ->Tools` folder and added / enabled in your `config.plist -> Misc -> Tools`, then press `Space` on the Boot Picker for the option to be displayed.

4. Update your EFI:

    4a. Delete the `Bootstrap` folder

    4b. Copy the new `BOOTx64.efi` to `EFI -> BOOT` (I always delete the previous one and empty the Bin before I copy the new one)

    4c. Copy the new OpenCore.efi` to `EFI -> OC` (I always delete the previous one and empty the Bin before I copy the new one)

    4d. Keep note of which drivers you have on `EFI -> Drivers`. Replace them with the ones from the new OpenCore release, keeping in mind that now instead of `HfsPlus.efi` there is `OpenHfsPlus.efi`, so you need to rename this on your `config.plist -> UEFI -> Drivers`.
    4e. Check the `Docs -> Differences.pdf` file and add / remove what is stated there.

 

P.S. The only thing I noticed is that the old `OpenCore` boot entry still exists on my UEFI, but I have disabled it on the UEFI BIOS settings and set the new `OpenCore` entry as first (and only <3) choice.

@AudioGod - Hey B, I just thought, I bet you have builtin Satnav in your car but still use a hand held paper road map because you're a stickler for originality. :hysterical:

You couldn’t be more wrong...lol

Don't get me started on built-in  in car tech! It's a nightmare. Usually poorly designed, often gets in the way of actual driving, sometimes down right dangerous and also frequently obsolite in a few years. Not to mention unreliable. Cars without complex technology are much better, last longer, cheaper to repair and often a much better pure driving experience. Bangernomics is the way forward my friends!

You didn’t read my previous comment. You need left and right ICNS. That’s all.

Isn’t the old HfsPlus.efi the actual Apple one? I read on Reddit that the Apple one is still better than the new OpenHfsPlus.

HfsPlus is slow to mount USB Devices, OpenHfsPlus is just a repaired and altered version of HfsPlus.

This is also why they flipped over to VBoxHFS for a short while.

SUPRISE!!!! As Release 0.6.6 has made so many changes in this revision I thought I would post an updated EFI for you all so here it is. ;)

 

OpenCore 0.6.6 EFI Update (Big Sur 11.2 Ready), 3rd February 2021 

(Use With Bios Revision F12K or Newer)

 

 

 

The EFIs and DSDTs have now been updated to the my latest versions.

Changes made include,

  • Lilu 1.5.1
  • AppleALC 1.5.7,
  • WhateverGreen 1.4.7,
  • VirtualSMC 1.2.0
  • OpenCore Updated to Revision 0.6.6 (Big Sur 11.2 Ready),
  • New OpenCanopy Icons
  • OpenCanopy is Enabled as Standard,
  • New OpenCanopy Icons
  • Plus other minor tweaks and changes to all of the configs.

 

OpenCore EFI Update v0.6.6 - 03/02/2021

 

OC 066 19,1 Z390 Pro EFI 020221.zip - OpenCore v0.6.6, SMBios iMac19,1

OC 066 1,1 Z390 Pro EFI 020221 .zip - OpenCore v0.6.6, SMBios iMacPro1,1 (IGPU Disabled)

 

IMPORTANT - OPENCORE HAS CHANGED THE WAY THE BOOTSTRAP WORKS SO YOU WILL NEED TO RESELECT YOUR BIG SUR DISK (F12 DISK SELECT OR FROM WITHIN THE BIOS) AND THEN RESET YOUR NVRAM BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE NEW EFI FOR THE FIRST TIME, THIS IS VITAL.

 

Note - If your not using a 5700 XT or any other Navi GPU then remove agdpmod=pikera from the boot arguments.

Note 2 - Do not try to carry across your old OpenCore Config.plist to the new EFI as to many changes have occurred in 0.6.0. Use the new Config.plist instead.

 

For OpenCore Using PlistEdit Pro add your details by modifying the following 

453128831_Screenshot2020-01-16at19_25_01.thumb.png.7a9beac3ccc0096941fc4a0ec07b8248.png

 

PLEASE NOTE - These EFIs are setup to be used with your msr Unlocked so make sure you use the correct bios settings listed below or use the F12K Unlocked Profile I have provided.
