To resize the physical disk of BigSur when using the img dd method: 


*Identify the physical disk you dd the img to X is example 
diskutil list 
*repair the physical disk partition 
diskutil repairDisk diskX 
*Resize the physical disk container volume 
sudo diskutil apfs resizeContainer diskXs2 0

 

I know how should the partition table be. I want to restore it again so know should i create the partition as 256GB or as 128GB?

By restoring the image to a physical disk, the image APFS container is 119.8Gb because of the way it was captured during creating the image. If you want to resize that APFS container to the max size of the drive after dd you need to repair the physical disk's partition table. Then you will be able to resize the APFS container size to whatever you want.

So I just erase the 256GB SSD as an APFS Drive and then I restore this 119.8 GB file and then run the command. Am i right or should i create a partition of 128GB seperately in the 256gb ssd?

Depends on if you want to use the entire drive or just a single partition. You choose that, but the process is the same for either or.

I want to make the 119.8 GB extend to 256 GB so that all my files fit. So just format drive, restore and run the command you gave am I right?

As i know , the official release of Big Sur will be in September .. so the boatloader Devs. still have time to find fix for this issue ... or Catalina will be the end of hackintoshing 

I prefer to account Mojave to be the last good system.

@Slice I know Apple are being {censored}s but Big Sur feels much snappier and light then Mojave/ Catalina even on my old MacBook Pro. For me High Sierra was last proper x86 supported 32bit and Nvidia drivers. Mojave was already step into this direction, we just didn't knew

and for many of us counting on cuda drivers, even high sierra was {censored}. The start of metal really made it hard for nvidias cuda drivers. Very common with sporadic crashes etc.

 

so i would say 10.12 was the last ”very” good one, when you are a 3D artist

 

now Big Sur seem very promising though. Extremely snappy i would say.

I am having some issues and maybe, just maybe, someone has a good suggestion for me.  

 

1. While it took a long time, I now have a working EFI for OpenCore for both Catalina and Big Sur. However, for whatever reason, my webcam does not work (but other internal USB devices seem to be ok) and my CPU temp sensors are not picked up by iStat Menus but do seem to be displayed correctly in HWMonitorSMC (I am using the plugins for VirtualSMC.)

2. I used the image of Big Sur that was first posted in Applelife.ru, and while it works, and while I was able to resize the APFS container to fit on my laptop's SSD, I cannot restore the live installation created from the image on my laptop's SSD.  It gets UUID errors that prevent me from restoring it.  If I create my own installation on a real Mac to my external USB drive, will I also have problems restoring that installation to my laptop's SSD?

3. The BRCMPatchRam3 kext seems to work in Big Sur but it also appears to be spamming my log file and possibly using a ton of resources for no good reason.  When I just use the BT injector, the BT device appears but does not work properly.  The PatchRam kext appears to be necessary from proper BT function.

 

Any input would be appreciated.

Managed to install after quite a bit of faffing about. Couldn't do it without the invaluable help and guidance of Señor MaLd0n. Restored the dmg to a ssd drive and slight tweak to my config.plist to enable booting from the drive.

HI there, happy to hear that you installed via dmg restore, may i have your efi file. and what are the commands used ,  thanks
