You'd really think there were a lot of amateurs among Apple's programmers.

The problem with the loading progress bar in Beta 3 of 15.4 simply shouldn't be happening!

 

During the second installation phase, the loading bar at the bottom only reappears after about 30%.

When the app is fully launched, you don't see the loading bar at all, then it appears, and then just shows a remnant at the end.

 

Oh my gosh, didn't they even test this internally?

This kind of thing simply shouldn't be happening, regardless of whether it's a beta or any other app.

 

Otherwise, the installation on my old iMac late 2013 with 27 inches went smoothly with the OCLP from 2.3.25

Indeed, I noticed it yesterday and at first I thought that this beta was going to bring boot problems, but you had already seen other computers that had installed it and it worked without any problem, even with the OCPL wifi.

Hi @AlfredoM

For OCLP Nightly, you are taking about "Update USB Map" commit ? Because Github not showing up the date.

Let me known, please.

I don't really want to lose all my data etc so gonna wait for the next update or just clone this drive and test on the clone. Thanks.

That's strange why you should lose USB ports settings doing a fresh install.

That should not happen unless you changed the Mac Model from the original is what I am thinking.

Yes I agree but nothings changed with my SmBios or Mac Model. I don't know if all 5 usb sticks have been corrupted or what but getting them to boot and be seen is very eratic. When Ive succeeded in getting them to boot Ive had to reformat them in disk utility. When I try to create a new Sequoia installer with Opencore patcher 2.3.0 it starts off erasing the usb then fails because the stick is ejecting. When I try to use Terminal to do this it fails because the drive is not blessed or something like this.

Hi I will assume you've mapped your USB Ports with a count of 15 or less.

Check USB port count and settings with Hackintool to spot any unusual change.

 

I have done a clean install using my EFI Folder from previous with no USB Port change/glitch as described by you.

Clean Install or incremental Update should not impact USB Ports if the Mac Model remains the same.

Yeah I did all that and all was working before. Mine was an update from beta 2 to 3 not a clean install. Everything went smooth and easy and the patching for wifi was completed no problem. Anyway not to worry my friend when I find a way of getting the installer done ( Probable in windows ) I will do a clean install.

Here with Mrey but the procedure is the same

Ive tried that so many times now. Check what happens. I removed my name where the question marks are.

Have you tried to initialize the USB via disk utility first ?

Yes all have been initialised and formatted several time over. Just can't get to create the installer using open core legacy patcher or even with terminal. Apart from that 15.4 is running ok. Anyone know how to bless the drive?

[LockDown]

Format the drive. Not the partition

[Max.1974]

Hello everyone. I noticed that it has been difficult to burn the new image, especially of Sequoia, from some versions up until now.

I discovered two ways to "burn" the SSD/Pendrive/HD:

 

1. Using OCLP to create a bootable ISO of MacOs and not give the bless error;

 

2. Using some commands, but they don't always work properly, it depends on your hardware.

 

In addition to the common commands we use, in some cases, you need to disable SIP (especially real Macs) and in others some parameters before running the commands in the terminal.

 

Install rosetta for real Macs and some Hacks first: 

 

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

 

Format your Drive (not only partition) in macOs Extanded Journaling and I rename my disk to MyVolume

 

After do this run this command on Terminal: 

 

zsh killed  sudo /Volumes/MyVolume

 

And some cases, run in root: 

 

sudo -i

 

in root# type

 

cd /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/

codesign -s - -f createinstallmedia

 

Alternatively

 

cd /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app


find . -type f -exec codesign -s - -f "{}" \;

 

Then run command normally 

 

 

Option 1:

 

sudo arch -x86_64 /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

 

Option 2:

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app

 

Option 3:

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume 

Option 4:

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app --nointeraction

 

 

I prefere use OCLP, so much more easy, but I have been tested in Apple Silicon so works commands to me.

 

Good Lucky
