MacBookPro16,4 and iMacPro1,1.
Both updated now just had to use OC by booting from USB to get the update to show then just let Clover do the rest.

With Clover 5141 and SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 for Update 12.0.1 : 2 sequences for me :

 

1) Without RestrictEvents, boot Clover with config.plist containing (in BIOS section) ExtendedFirmwareFeatures 0x8FD8FF53E and ExtendedFirmwareFeaturesMask 0x8FF9FFF3F (without "old" FirmwareFeatures & FirmwareFeaturesMask) and this key : 

<key>RtVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>HWTarget</key>
<string>J137AP</string>

to see the update

2) While the update is downloading, put RestrictEvents in Kext folder, and disable the HWTarget Key, otherwise the update is not done (in my situation anyway).

It is not very simple !!😄 But this is the only way, apart from using a non-T2 SMBIOS, that I have found to achieve this update.

 

I hope Slice will find it easier

ccpv worked. It was just that the message "Your plist looks so wonderful"  wasn't displayed.

Fixed.

Your fixed not fixed

Validator validate nothing from config.plist

This is used to validate, then how can you say that it works if you do not see the errors or the warnings or simply display that it is good?

Please explain to me because I don't understand

@chris1111

maybe you'r plist is fine the way it is?

 

becose tested with old version here

512594934_Screenshot2021-10-20at23_21_28.png.b79293e7a034b17b589f2b5e2e6e3335.png

and got this

So

just build the latest and got this

516043596_Screenshot2021-10-20at23_21_41.png.50b15916174aa2f52a72c015daf37208.png

so the tool seems working

 

Then if Not working for you means No flattered plist that's another thing.

Do not forget the old saying -> no news good news :)

@chris1111

Just out of curiosity I gave a quick look at the code, and the message is there, so no way it wouldn't appear

normally when the plist is correct you should see it

infact doing a test with config-sample.plist here's what i get

2087006422_Screenshot2021-10-21at02_47_19.png.f13a759ecce5547bd96d299a739c1aa5.png

so i was wondering if something is happening with your plist...

can you try also with clover's sample.plist and see what gives?

if that gives you the same and the one you have installed still gives none

there's probably something that prevent it. just assuming...

I test the config simple.plist it say plist wonderfull but explain my why before the commit the validator validate

my plist and the sample plist both wonderfull then now it say nothing

maybe somthing new mandatary on the plist file for validate? I will check the diferance of the file

@Gradou @Slice
 

Does this mean that we have to remove FirmwareFeatures and FirmwareFeaturesMask alltogether from our config.plist?

 

I am confused because prior it was said to add Extended values and leave the „old“ values in place.

 

What‘s the correct way?

I have the update just after removing HWTarget. And no back!


What do you mean exactly?

 

Thanks both for clarifying :)

Modifications :

1) With (and not without) RestrictEvents and its bootarg: -revsbvmm
2) Remove only the HWTarget Key, we can leave RestrictEvents and its bootarg: -revsbvmm

@Gradou

 

This is the first time I read about a bootarg that needs to be set if one is using RestrictEvents.kext 

 

Anyway, I am talking about the settings when not using the kext.

 

And in the quoted post you stated that one has to boot without the „old“ values for FirmwareFeatures and FirmwareFeaturesMask. This is the first time I read this because - as I said - it was said to add the new values and not to remove the old ones.

Clarification is definitely needed.
Do we need RestrictEvents kext?
If so does it need a bootarg?

Do we need the ExtendedFirmwareFeatures and it’s mask?

Do we also need FirmwareFeatures and it’s mask or just ExtendedFirmwareFeatures and it’s mask?

All these broken poorly informed posts are getting beyond the joke.

Just ExtendedFirmwareFeatures and it’s mask

You need also HWTarget Key to obtain the update, but remove it to install

I don't untderstand, are you angry ? if Yes, why ?

you could be kind anyway, right ?

@Matgen84

all those plist issues are apparently caused by the new default "Efiversion" string.

as @MifJpnAlphaPlus reported, commenting it out, gives the expected statement,

while rolling back to the older version gives obviously the error.

So just wait until @Jief_Machak find out what's causing this

Thanks both for clarifying :)

In the new systems like Monterey bootefi asked about ExtendedFirmwareFeatures and if not found then FirmwareFeatures.

So we may keep only extended.

But I am not sure about old systems on old hardware. So my recommendation is to keep both features. There is no conflicts.

 

Next question is HWTarget. 

I implemented this feature but I don't know its influence on the system. I am watching if someone will use this feature and found some advantage. Still no.

My experience that with HWTarget I see no SoftwareUpdate while without it I got the update.

So I removed it from my config.plist forever and ever. (...no back...)

Thanks @Slice HWTarget might be useful for those using SMBIOS T2 chips like Imac20 for example.
