Any idea about native nvram in legacy mode ?

It requires a development.

This is OEM dependent and can't be made easy.

UEFI driver is already OEM so why it's working.

Guys, i just got hit by a "boot0ss: error" and cant load Clover at all. Windows 10 updated to the latest build (10049), but it's installed on a different disk, what could be the reason for this? I had 10.10.2 and Win 10 together for quite a while...

 

PS, sorry, forum wouldnt let me open a dedicated thread...

 

PSS, i've got a Linux USB as the only solution to work this out...

@PlutoDelic,

 

The recent Windows 10 update overwrites the bootsector so Clover needs to be re-installed if used in legacy mode (use a FAT32 Clover USB boot disk to boot back into OSX and re-install Clover on your hard drive).

 

Also note

Edit1

You can reinstall Clover on your hard disk manually from Linux using dd - see Clover wiki.  Alternatively, try booting back into OSX using a Clover boot CD (burn iso file from sourceforge).

 

 

I did manage to get a USB from those ISO's, and am shocked to see UEFI detecting it, my Latitude E6410 is known to have a very messed up UEFI implementation and no one reported Clover loading through UEFI. I AM PUZZLED. I managed to get the kexts to the injection directory and also the DSDT, but the moment i copy my config.plist, it doesnt detect anything from the disks. I even managed to cross compare a decent config.plist, but boot hangs after loading EFI driver from OS X path (probably due to not being an UEFI install?)

 

also, the DD on linux, the 3rd command didnt work for me, showing me boot0 doesnt exist, that guide is incomplete i think.

 

PS, any chance i can fix now through Windows, since i can boot. Also, strangely, Win 10 Build 10049 does not open EFI partition, i could do it on any other build or windows, that's a streak of bad luck...

 

 

Edit2

If you can boot into Windows, you can use BDUtility.exe to create a Clover boot USB ---> boot back into OSX on hard drive ---> re-install Clover.

 

You had the "file not found" error using dd in linux because there is no boot0 per se - you can use boot0af, boot0ss or boot0md (from the /usr/standalone/i386 folder in the Clover.iso).

Indeed, Win 10 TP 9926 wouldnt update to 10041 due to the MSR issue, i even created them myself manually but apparently i did not install Windows in UEFI mode through Clover, somehow i thought that is done automatically. I even reported this in sourceforge.

 

I am on a tight situation, just 2 days ago i wiped my Clover USB, im stuck with a Live Ubuntu, is there any way i can twiddle with Clover from Linux?

 

Thanks a lot btw...

I think after I updated Xcode CloverGrowerPro cannot complete the built process anymore.

Anyway to fix this? Before this issue happened, it just works. 

From what I searched, Slice suggested to use a particular version of gcc.

How do I update gcc? I am always thinking that gcc is distributed by Apple with Xcode

 

gcc -v

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.57) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)

Hello happy folks,

 

My NUC has been running just too good and I had to find something to nitpick on!

 

So here's the deal. Yosemite sees a base speed of 1.9GHz instead of 1.8 and DDR3 speeds of 2000 MHz instead of 1866.

 

This is not just cosmetic, as if I try to set my DDR3L Gskill Ripsaw to its nominal speed of 2133, it will crash after just a few moments.

 

So I presume that Clover in fact *is* loading OS X with a higher bus speed. How do I set it back to the speed it should be at?

 

By the way, P-States and C-States work just mega-fine.

 

I can post my info.plist if necessary,

 

Thanks!

Which Clover version would work best for OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard?  It would need to at least support 32 bit and Legacy Kernels if there is a versions to use?  Thanks

Funny thing is, I just had to boot back into Snow Leopard today for something and was unable to using Clover 3193. It gets to the gray screen with the Apple and spinning indicator and is does nothing. I decided to try my old Chamelon USB drive and it booted no problems.

 

Am I missing something? I have no issues booting into Yosemite.

 

Thanks.

Is there any chance to clarify the Manual Installation a bit further, even under the settings for Mac, a lot of things are not explained. I myself am very comfortable with CLI, but a lot of times one is asked to copy or cd to something that isnt mentioned where it is at all...?

 

Also, i have a Dell Latitude E6410 which is known to never have worked with UEFI + Clover. While doing a recovery mission from windows, flashing a Clover ISO image to the USB, resulted in being detected as a UEFI bootable USB, and it worked. I have tried literary everything to get a UEFI boot and never made it, why did that happen? Why is it possible to detect a MBR USB where clover was installed in the main partition, where as a GPT with its dedicated EFI partition wont be detected?  I know this is a question for the guys at DELL, but is there a chance to troubleshoot this?

Looks like gcc-4.8 produces too big binaries.

I am using gcc-4.9.2 that makes additional Link Time Optimization significantly reducing output size.

See Clover Instructions thread in this subforum.

I could really really need some help with info.plist patching!

 

In essence I want to make a patch in AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy, replacing this:

<key>Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6</key>
<string>Config1</string>

with this:

<key>Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6</key>
<string>none</string>

The entry in my config.plist looks like this:

<dict>
	<key>Name</key>
	<string>AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy</string>
	<key>Comment</key>
	<string>SMBIOS 6,1 fix</string>
	<key>InfoPlistPatch</key>
	<true/>
	<key>Find</key>
	<string>PGtleT5NYWMtRjYwREVCODFGRjMwQUNGNjwva2V5PjxzdHJpbmc+Q29uZmlnMTwvc3RyaW5nPg==</string>
	<key>Replace</key>
	<string>PGtleT5NYWMtRjYwREVCODFGRjMwQUNGNjwva2V5PjxzdHJpbmc+bm9uZTwvc3RyaW5nPg==</string>
</dict>

but all what I get is this:

0:132  0:000  KextToPatch 2: AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy (SMBIOS 6,1 fix) Info.plist patch[ERROR] bin2hex 'PGtleT5NYWMtRjYwREVCODFGRjMwQUNGNjwva2V5PjxzdHJpbmc+Q29uZmlnMTwvc3RyaW5nPg==' syntax error
0:132  0:000  [ERROR] bin2hex 'PGtleT5NYWMtRjYwREVCODFGRjMwQUNGNjwva2V5PjxzdHJpbmc+bm9uZTwvc3RyaW5nPg==' syntax error

and if I use <data> instead of <string> I get this:

0:134  0:000  KextToPatch 2: AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy (SMBIOS 6,1 fix) Info.plist patch - invalid Find/Replace data - skipping!

Why??? Any help greatly appreciated!
