I haven't used the UEFI Shell in a very long time so I have no idea what can be the cause!

Uhmmb, Internal Shell within my BIOS feature leads me to a blackscreen as well, using EDK2 *.efi:

fs0:
cd \efi\clover\tools\
cp Shell64U.efi fs0:\shellx64.efi

HFS+ Mojave with @crazybirdy script.

BTW, I remember wanna asking this question:

When entering "UEFI Shell 64" function (or tool) on Clover GUI, it always freezes my system.. or just greets me with "BestLanguage" log. But has no problem with Legacy Shell 64. And, it seems.. I found no solution (neither link) yet #atm. Any idea?

You need EnglishDxe.efi in Drivers64UEFI folder.

EnglishDxe.efi is placed on /EFI/drivers64UEFI as suggested, and loaded.

#QUESTION:

Do we still need FileVault related *.efi Drivers if it is = Disabled on macOS? Thanks.

If not using FV2 then you can safely remove

AppleKeyAggregator

AppleUITheme

FirmwareVolume

HashServiceFix

As well OsxFatBinaryDrv needed only for 10.8 and older.

SMCHelper needed for FV2 and for Hibernation.

AppleImageLoader may check digital sign of loaded module but you can live without it.

Check shell.efi version (data, size). May be another one will work.

@savvamitrofanov

hi. sorry for late test.

i tested only AppleImageLoader.efi without OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi. but i never boot 10.6.8. stop screen in GUI after 10.6.8 partition. still needs OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi.

also on my 4230s, shell is not working. shown BestLanguage text in screen. as result. i can't see debug log on 4230s. 4230s is old uefi system.

Fix typo warning on script

D-an-W · August 26, 2018

Hi Chris,

Just checking, should that say "If you do not have Clover installed" or is it correct in saying "If you do not have Clover to install"?

Hi

Sorry for my newbie questions about AppleSupportPkg, specially AppleUISupport.efi.

First, AppleUISupport.efi is only necessary for Firevault Volume. Right or not?
In readme, "replaces AppleKeyMapAggregator.efi, AppleEvent.efi, AppleUiTheme.efi, FirmwareVolume.efi, AppleImageCodec.efi." Also, this Clover's mandatory drivers (AppleKeyMapAggregator.efi, AppleUiTheme.efi, FirmwareVolume.efi, AppleImageCodec.efi) is not necessary. Right or not?

Thanks

Hi. Yes, it is right

Excuse me if this is a silly question, but where is the new embedded theme located in the Clover folder?

In my themes folder I have an embedded folder, but inside is just screenshot.png & theme.plist files.

Update/Edit: Have found the Clover Themes thread, so will look for advice there: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288685-clover-themes/

Now with VirtualSmc.efi this can be a problem right?

Use or not use it :wacko:

You can't find it in Themes directory except screenshot and theme.plist. Clover is shipping with a embedded theme inside cloverx64 boot driver, I suppose. If I do not say nonsense.

Use or not use it

Is that a replacement for FakeSMC.kext?

Yes, but FakeSMC works independent on all. VirtualSMC depends on Lilu version and on succees of kernel patching.

nvram -p shows only NVRAM variables with AppleBootGuid while ROM and MLB has gEfiAppleNvramGuid. They are not shown here while present.

Slice · August 28, 2018

ROM and MLB needed for iMessage but sleep problem look to be different issue.

Hi,

Found strange problem. ApfsDriverLoader.efi and DumpUefiCalls.efi together make clover boot menu empty - clover do not see any bootable apfs partitions. Is it supposed to be so?

First is type 0,1. 0 is for SandyBridge and older, 1 is for IvyBridge and newer

Second is an answer to question Generate or no. So you want to say YES.

Oh nice! I thought sandy is not supported by this plugintype.

Also, I thought "1" starts at Haswell and newer.
