[Pre-Release] macOS Big Sur 11.1

[AlfredoM]

Hello @Matgen84 and other friends

 

After editing my config.plist with the editor and
csr-active-config to 0x285 because of the update from Big Sur, the ProperFree now complains because it is not a Base64 entry.

 

I then found a conversion page on the Internet and
encoded 0x285 in Base64.

 

Here is the result, is that correct, can I enter it in my config.plist and the function remains?

 

csrconfig    0x285
Base64      MHgyODU=

 

Thank for Help.

Anyone able to download the full installer of 11.1 RC using scripts? I am unable to find it anywhere or by using any of the scripts. So I think this one is delta update only.

@AlfredoM csrActiveconfig=0x285 is for Clover. Do you use this bootloader ? It's not necessary to convert Hex to Base64. For Opencore, you have only to enable SIP.

ProperTree is useful for Opencore. Personally, I use PlistEDTPlus for both bootloader 
Good luck

 Hi @AlfredoM, do you have an ProperTree version that works with BS?

Could you share it, please?

No, string 0x285 will correspond to

            <key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
            <data>hQI=</data>

Hi @eSaF,

i downloaded and used it, but i like more ProperTree, but it don't work again...

But with QtOpenCoreConfig and PListEdit Pro i managed to update to OpenCore 0.6.5, and all works as it should...

Thanks

 

PS: and now i had to change browsers because Safari don't let me wright this here, i'm now in Firefox ... Lol ...

[MorenoAv]

It's the already famous BS strangness ... LOL

Except for the headphone icon not displaying correctly, Big Sur is working like a charm for me. No issues at all. The best OS now.

Hello @Slice und alle anderen und @MorenoAv

First of all, thanks to you for the information about deactivating or activating SIP so that you can load the updates.

But it's strange, although I use Open Core 0.6.3 and I simply entered 0x285 as csr-active-config as the data option, it worked. 

 

Although @Matgen84 says yes it is only for Clover.

 

Ok Slide writes how the Base64 is correct: hQI=
I'll enter that and then see what then
is activated or deactivated for options under SIP.

 

and for @MorenoAv I add the ProperTree, which runs under Big Sur without any problems,

ProperTree as zip file is 14 MB I uploaded it to uploaded.net here is the download link without password:

This is our friend

Open source cross-platform Plist file editor: PlistEDPlus 

0x285 = <85 02> because of little endian

@Slice can clover read CsrActiveConfig data value instead of string like a OpenCore?

Clover is mush more flexible in reading settings than OC. It can read <number>, <data> or <string>.

But I think <data> is less convenient format in this case.

Hi all, thanks for sharing, I wish know if is to much hard made app to convert Opencore to Clover EFI or vice versa. Will be awesome if exist some app with this possibilities... for exemple, drag and drop folder and choose how Bootloaders convert....just an idea...

 

@Slice @chris1111 and all good felas!!

 

Thanks!!!

Sorry, I was wrong. In this case <data> is impossible.

 

PS. And now with commit d68d53a41 it is possible.
