jimborae Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 @eSaF - any chance you could post your efi for me please. I'm running OC 0.8.3 but have no reset NVRAM efi in my drivers folder and am still using the older Clean NVRAM via the Tools folder. God knows if it still functions correctly. So I'd like to compare my folder to yours, ignoring obviously differences like gpu's etc and get things a bit more ship shape and squared off.

dredhorse Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) I think I made a mistake: as I said I did use OCAuxillaryTools to update my second drive EFI partition and upgraded the copy of macOS on that drive to Monterey... works... BUT... booting from that EFI doesn't show me the other drive catalina install. (which is my main install) now I did use OCAuxillaryTools to update my first drive EFI partition.... and now I don't see the catalina install their either... which is a problem. I did already reset the NVRAM but no catalina.. Don't know if it matters: Main macOS (Catalina) on 970 EVO Plus NVMe Backup macOS (now Monterey) on EVO 850 Any idea?

A lot of us have had this board from the beginning and along the way things have changed dramatically. We don’t always get rid of the cruft in our EFIs and sometimes we don’t add or change newer items as long as our systems continue to work. I, for one, recently realized I didn’t need PLUG nor the BOOTx64.efi. Also, each of us has a system configured differently, so each item in our respective EFIs may, or may, not be need in someone else's. That is why, of course, you should always build your own EFI using Dortania guide. It is perfectly okay to use another EFI like AudioGod's in the original post as a guide but better to make your own. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339980-audiogods-aorus-z390-pro-patched-dsdt-mini-guide-and-discussion/page/199/#findComment-2792071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there are folders that we see around that are impossible to use. This "create your folder" doesn't really make much sense for most hardware. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339980-audiogods-aorus-z390-pro-patched-dsdt-mini-guide-and-discussion/page/199/#findComment-2792107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredhorse Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 ok.. this drives me nuts... deleted my partitions on the second (backup) drive, put the new EFI that EFI partition. copied all data from my main drive over again to my backup drive. boot from backup EFI with new OC.... NO mac drives found boot from normal EFI with old OC... both mac drives found. cleaned backup EFI and copied a version over... same behaviour tried reset nvram... same behaviour and I can boot without any problems into the back disk. SO.... what is fishy with the new EFI... I think I will post my both EFIs tomorrow perhaps somebody can help me figure it out.

Project 2501 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hi, I'm having trouble getting my Epson v700 Photo Scanner getting detected with Firewire 400 (using Gigabyte Titan-Ridge Card in Slot 4 through a series of adapters, FW400 > FW800 > TB2 > TB3). I haven't used my scanner since I switched to OpenCore, but even with Clover, sometimes it didn't get detected unless unplug/replug or have the scanner on before I boot. However, my old tricks aren't working anymore. Neither Epson Scan or VueScan sees the scanner. I can always switch to USB2, but that it is slower than FW400. I'm using the same SSDT that I used with Clover (SSDT-Z390-RP21-SLOT4-TB3HP.aml). I checked and it is added and is loading last. The Firewire port is showing up on the Network control panel. Any suggestions?

Cipha Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I just tried to update to Monterey 12.6 as usual, meaning I updated kexts with OCAT and synced everything to the EFI. After restarting I got an OC failed to parse config error. I was able to finish the update with my boot stick and now when I check the config.plist in OCAT toools it also says "invalid .plist file". Is there a way to fix it or should I copy my config file from the boot stick and update again with OCAT?

pkdesign Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 You are describing two different things. Updating macOS and updating OC are two separate actions and probably shouldn’t be done at the same time. You should always have working OC before trying to update the OS. You should also always have a backup of your working EFI so you can always go back to it if something fails. So you have successfully update macOS to 12.6? Are you able to boot from the EFI on your boot disk or only from a thumb drive? If the EFI the thumb drive is working, I would copy it to the EFI of your boot disk and see if you can boot. Then update that EFI to OC 084. A NVRAM reset can't hurt either.

erolsansolo Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Succesfully updated to OC 0.84, nvram reset and MacOS 12.6 thereafter using OCAT. Tested for a week, there are no glitches. Just a heads up, first time going from 0.82 to 0.84, I was greeted by blank screen. One reboot later - no problems. This happened in both of my identical hacks 1 week apart. No idea what it was, but there you go. As @eSaF said, there might be a couple of more updates left for our hacks. First time I see a problem, Im going with 2 mac studios. I just will miss going back and forth with windows/macos for daily stuff. This adventure all started with price justification of an iMac, but at this point, as these are my main workstations, I cannot risk updates or stray EFI configs messing with my work. This is a hard route for non software savvy people like me. My 2cents, If you like the apple ecosystem and hardware (which I do and use hard daily) - go buy the real stuff if you can afford it. pay once cry once. I already got the m1 mbp 16" and I am a happy camper. 7 hours ago, panosru said: I want to get an iPhone and make a switch back to iOS from many years of Android, I was wondering, those of you who own an iPhone, does everything working fine between your iPhone and your Hackintosh?

Well it was Hackintosh that first got me into Apple's ecosystem and maybe that's why they don't go hard after non comercial hackintoshers. The family and myself now all have multiple iPhones, I'm now on my 4th Mac Mini and all this is because I started with a hackintosh. I'll also at some point probably upgrade my M1 Mini to a Studio but I'll also keep my PC's running Open Core for as long as it's feasible. And yes running Open Core on even 10 Gen Intel cpu's is a bit of a ball ache, at least it was on my NUC10 iirc.
