ProblemsUpdating to beta 3 Gigabyte Z690 Gaming x

[BALDY_MAN]

Would someone be so kind as to glance over my working  Tahoe Beta 2 efi file as I can't incremental up date to Tahoe beta3

I think it's a efi setting I've not got quite right. 

thank your for your time

@BALDY_MAN I quickly reviewed your EFI and see the following that you may want to check

• csr-active-config = <FF0F0000> completely disables SIP and will block macOS updates.  You'll need to at least disallow Apple Internal with <EF0F0000>.**

 

Also, you should add "NVRAM > Delete > 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 > csr-active-config" to your OC config.plist, so that csr-active-config is automatically deleted and restored to your new value when you boot macOS.  Without this Delete, you would need to reset NVRAM each time you changed csr-active-config.

Thank you very much for your time and insight

its still not getting the Beta 3 update

@BALDY_MAN Are you signed into iCloud with Developer Beta updates enabled?  For me, I have not seen Tahoe Beta updates unless signed in and Developer Beta enabled.

 

EDIT: Also, I am not able to check your config right now, but do you have RestrictEvents.kext with revpatch=sbvmm?

I have tried it with and without still no joy

no restrictive events kext in the  kext folder

 

thanks for your help I need to have a break from it too  up till daft o'clock thanks again

@BALDY_MAN If MP7,1 is your SMBIOS and if a real MP7,1 has T2, you will need RestrictEvents.kext with NVRAM property revpatch=sbvmm

[BALDY_MAN]

@deeveedee that was the fix thank you very mutch

[deeveedee]

@BALDY_MAN Glad that helped. For others who are experiencing this, It was probably multiple issues including SIP and revpatch.

 

Do you also need to be signed-in with Developer Beta updates enabled?

[BALDY_MAN]

Cant remember up till daft o'clock. and tired

thank again for your help
