Hi @crazybirdy,

are you working in the script for BigSur, please? if not, do you think it will be possible in the future?

Many thanks and best regards.

Big Sur is big changed with Catalina, I can not find any way to install to HFS.

I give up Big Sur HFS already.

Why I can't use BaseSystem dmg 10.15.7 19H2 ?

And why I need to download another version of BaseSystem file ?

First time use with Catalina Installer, and I'm bit confused.

The BaseSystem file of 10.15.6 and 10.15.7 is changed, can't boot to installer,

so, we need old BaseSystem file from 10.15.5 before.

Hi,

Is it possible to use the MBR-Manual-Method15-Q7-Update-Script on a Catalina two partition apfs installation?

Hi all, I installed catalina 10.15.1, but could not use included script

for download. It could not create full install app.

Had to use dosdude macOS Catalina Patcher for that.

Afterwards installaton worked as expected.

One thing is strange - applecsript does not work at all,

can't read any scripts or compile new ones, no matter

how simple.

Has anyone else that issue ?

Or success ?

Thanks for the replies .

P.S. I am going to install "official" way to afps and see if anything changes and report here.

 

Hi, scripts don't work for me too on Catalina 10.15.17 19H15. Running simple

osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to display dialog "Hello, World!"'

in terminal, returns 

osascript: can't open default scripting component.

What doesn't work is also installation of Command Line Tools for Xcode 13.2, which is required by Homebrew. It can be workaround but then running git command returns that newer version of macOS is required, so it still doesn't work.

 

Next thing that doesn't work is my GeForce 9600M GT. I already tried:

1.  macOS Post Install.app from macOS Catalina Patcher
2. Legacy-Video-patch
3. https://asentientbot.github.io/mojave/ with kexts from https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334689-mojave-and-g210-tesla/
4. NVDAStartup.kext from https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/320033-rebooting-kernel-panic-screen-for-installing-sierra/?tab=comments#comment-2347935

macOS Post Install.app and Legacy-Video-patch refuse to install (probably because of defunct osascript) so I installed their kexts and frameworks manually according to the guide at osxlatitude. After each

sudo kextcache -i /

I also reboot to to single user mode (adding -s to boot_args) and run

hfsupdatecache

My boot_args are: 

-v -no_compat_check amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1 amfi_allow_any_signature=0x1 cs_enforcement_disable=0x1

I also have unchecked InjectNVidia and checked NvidiaWeb in Clover. I use WhateverGreen-1.5.5-RELEASE.zip.

In each of above mentioned cases my system reboots suddenly (even with  keepsyms=1 and debug=0x100 boot_args) not even reaching the screen with Apple progress bar. The only way to boot for me then is to append nv_disable=1 to boot_args.

NVDANV50HalTesla is not even mentioned in boot log obtained with

sudo log show --predicate "processID == 0" --start $(date "+%Y-%m-%d") --debug

I used EasyMBR-Installer10156 from @crazybirdy to prepare my installer on a USB stick (two partitions: FAT32 named "EFI" with Clover and HFS+ named "10157EasyMBR19H15" with Catalina). From the USB stick I installed Catalina on a MBR HFS+ partition. Thanks for the the EasyMBR-Installer. Any further help to get my GPU or Command Line Tools working would be appreciated.

how to make 10.16 by myself

i can not use applescipt any more!

if hfs+ 10.15.7
