Max.1974 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I used secure boot, fast boot, CSM disable, Windows 8/10 HQ, Above 4G disable, and never had issue...boot in 11 seconds...never fail! On 12/18/2022 at 8:00 AM, SavageAUS said: I have seen some videos on making OpenCore to be able to boot with UEFI secure boot, which it seems would need to be done with every update in OC. What I am wondering is if a tool can be created to automate this process? Select OpenCore.EFI > make sure bootable > reboot > success? Anyone got something like this on the radar? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk OCAT tool is easy to use, but I preferred manually.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) EDIT: After completing the Monterey 12.6.2 installation, I copied my EFI to the SSD, changed Secure Boot Model back to Default and rebooted from the SSD EFI. Monterey 12.6.2 boots fine with Secure Boot Model = Default. I only needed Secure Boot Model = Disabled for Monterey 12.6.2 installation. EDIT2: Reinstalled Big Sur and confirmed that Secure Boot Model = Disabled is not required on my HackBookPro15,2 for a clean installation of Big Sur 11.7.2. ========================================= Why would I need to set Misc > Security > Secure Boot Model = Disabled in order to install Monterey 12.6.2 on a KabyLake-R / UHD620 laptop (SMBIOS MacBookPro15,2)? Details below... I am performing a from-scratch reinstallation of Monterey 12.6.2 on a Kabylake-R (i5-8250U / UHD620) laptop. I started my clean installation of Monterey with the OC 0.8.5 EFI that I previously used without issues for a Big Sur installation and then a Monterey upgrade (from Big Sur). My original EFI includes Misc > Security > Secure Boot Model = Default and has worked without problems with Big Sur and then Monterey. The first phase of the Monterey 12.6.2 installation from USB flash drive proceeded without any problems; however, when the installer rebooted for the second phase of the installation, I found that the installer was stuck in a boot loop, where the boot failed early in the boot cycle with the last verbose line [EB | LOG RESET : RECOVERY] 2022-12-23T1437:41 I made a very lucky guess and changed MIsc > Security > Secure Boot Model from Default to Disabled. After making this change, the second phase of the Monterey 12.6.2 installation proceeded without issues Prior to this re-installation of Monterey, I have always performed installations and upgrades on this KabyLake-R laptop with Secure Boot Model = Default. Can someone explain why a fresh install (not upgrade) of Monterey 12.6.2 required Secure Boot Model = Disabled for the second phase of the installation? Thank you. EDIT: After completing the Monterey 12.6.2 installation, I copied my EFI to the SSD, changed Secure Boot Model back to Default and rebooted from the SSD EFI. Monterey 12.6.2 boots fine with Secure Boot Model = Default. I only needed Secure Boot Model = Disabled for Monterey 12.6.2 installation.

nerox Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hi Guys, I'm trying to install Ventura on a bootable USB with OPENCORE 0.8.7, but it crashes on this screen. Can anybody help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) OpenCore now can hide (or make auxiliary) boot entries We know that OpenCore hides its own EFI, it means that the EFI of the booting macOS system isn't shown in the picker. But other EFI of not booting macOS systems are always shown in the picker, despite of many users don't like this behaviour and prefer to hide all EFI partitions. Last commit of OpenCore 0.8.8 has added .contentVisibility to hide boot entries: exclude entries if there is a .contentVisibility file near the bootloader or inside the boot directory with Disabled content (ASCII). The entry will become auxiliary if its .contentVisibility file contains Auxiliary. Spoiler By default the .contentVisibility file containing the text Disabled is already placed next to the BOOTx64.efi file. So, you don't have to do anything extra if you want to hide the macOS EFI partitions. Spoiler Edited December 27, 2022 by miliuco 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody help me? Are you reset your NVRAM before boot? Checked your config.plist with ocvalidate? Don't use 2 EFI (like one on SSD/HD AND on USB). Choose only one method. Backup your files.

deeveedee Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) EDIT: I determined that the LegacyBoot utility included with OC0.8.8 does not load HFSPlusLegacy.efi. Reverting to the LegacyBoot included with OC0.8.7 resolves the issue. For now, I have upgraded to OC0.8.8 while retaining the LegacyBoot provided with OC0.8.7. EDIT2: This problem has been reported here. ============================================ I tried upgrading my HackBookPro6,2 to OC0.8.8, but found that OC0.8.8 claims incompatibility with HFSPlusLegacy.efi. For now, I have reverted to OC0.8.7. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you resolve the incompatibility? Thank you.
