Is there no possible way to boot your CCC backup with a good working EFI?

Nope, it only created backups for these files but didn't enable bootle mode. I suspect the settings got lost during the update to version 14.1. Looks like I'll have to perform a clean installation of everything from scratch.

maybe (i say maybe...didn't use CCC for bck..i prefer TM in MacOS side...) you can reinstall MacOS...install CCC and restore the (unbootable) backup...

I made the mistake of trying to improve my Mac's performance by running a maintenance task and leaving the default check options (System, Internet, Application, etc.). However,apps stopped working afterwards. Even native apps like iMessage and later Spotify were affected, and the situation only got worse. Learned the hard way that it's best to follow the old saying "Never touch a running system." and NEVER touch Onyx.

Hey guys,

I really struggle in optimizing my EFI. I was probably a bit naive to just use the delivered EFI in this thread instead of building my own from scratch.
The hackintosh works for a few years but it gets slower and slower and I'm not able to update anymore.
Booting needs close to 60 seconds...

I tried to follow your advice and optimize the EFI but I just don't don't understand what to do.
Since a few months I can't update anymore since I don't know what in the config needs to change to make it boot again and I always return to my old config

Whenever I have some spare time I tried to fix it but it always failed.

Before I give up for good and sell the machine, I just wanted to ask if anybody would be fine in helping me, maybe in a private session going through my efi
and teach me. I value your time, so it doesn't have to be for free.
I totally understand that this isn't the purpose of hackintosh and I have no hard feelings if nobody is willing to but I don't find the time to start all over again.

Thanks in advance.

Hey! Here's my EFI. I might have uploaded here before (or it was another forum) and people told me it's horrible 🙈
https://drive.google.com/file/d/134w5IynfX8sR35YcMlEXIDzZEWE7TDD-/view?usp=sharing
 

I had to upload to G Drive since it's a few kb larger than 10mb

 

Thanks for your effort!

it boots fine and it's now at around 35-40 seconds boot time. still slow but it gained a little bit :)

Did you spot anything I could improve?

Some said there are wrong ssdts and i should try another smbios.

Or do you think a clean install of sonoma instead of updating is a better way for the start.


PS: I already swapped the Samsung SSD for a WD Black, since it was causing really slow booting a few versions back.
so this is not the reason ...

If this Boot Time is from a Cold Boot then I would say it is comparable Boot Time to my own system.

Considering you had a Boot Time around a minute, I think 35-40 Seconds is a vast improvement. Any faster I would consider buying a real Mac and be done with it.

 

Yes, try keeping up with newly released OC and kext versions, they are offered for a reason.

 

I usually do with ocat, but last updates always threw an error and I was unable to fix it.

Would changing the smbios to mac pro make a difference in performance?

Oops! I replied about eSaf's new EFI, not the OP's one!

 

Looks great to me. i see some things I have different but I don't think matter.

 

I have keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 in boot-args

I have no entries in NVRAM>LegacySchema

PlatformInfo>Generic>AdviseFeatures>YES

Booter>Quirks>EnableWriteUnprotector>YES

Booter>Quirks>SetupVirtualMap>YES

 

Page 121 of the Configuration guide has an explanation such as it is. Basically whatever works for your system :D

 

SSDT-PLUG is not required for macOS 12.43 and up

 

But if your system is up and working, I'd probably leave it alone.

Here's a weird one (and I'm sorry if someone's already mentioned it; search is… what search is, on here. Around the introduction of Sonoma (full version; I tend not to do betas of 🍎 stuff), the ability to select HDMI audio just… vanished. I wondered it it was a new OpenCore version (went from 0.9.5 full through 0.9.7 DEV) or AppleALC, tried different alcid's (which of course only screwed things up for all the other audio, which had been working fine).

 

Know what fixed it?

 

Switching back on the verbose ("-v") boot arg. I guess that's how we keep it honest that it reads the whole config.plist, cuz it has to display it all?

 

Weird.

@eSaF @pkdesign

 

Thank you very much! I cleaned up the EFI from unnecessary entries / files and successfully upgraded to Sonoma. Had to fix my Wifi card but it was an easy fix.

Aside from Dropbox constantly crashing everything is running smoothly again :)

But I think Dropbox is just a faulty version, in dropbox forum there are some posts about this already.

I am with you Bro, all working good like a real Mac. :thumbsup_anim:

Thank you guys.

 

Would you mind assisting me with a slight issue please?

 

I'm struggling to disable SIP in order to run the post install fix using OCLP.

I've booted into recovery, disabled SIP and its confirmed in Terminal, restarted both with and without reseting NVRAM but as soon as I get back to OCLP and want to run the wifi fix it says SIP is enabled (Required 0x083 or higher) currently booted SIP (0x0). and therefore I'm stuck.

 

There's obviously something else I need to do in order to disable SIP, or perhaps there's a manual entry I can do instead to fix the Wifi?

 

In any case, after the patch is complete can I reenable SIP?

 

I have ethernet so no panic at this stage, thanks in advance and have a great Christmas!!
