I use 0x26F for CsrActiveConfig to get complete disable.

Thanks. Some macOS apps need CsrActiveConfig disable for installation.

@Matgen84

I confirm that the problem comes from your EFI/config.plist

because I have just tested disabling SIP by Recovery HD and it works very well with Clover

@cankiulascmnfye Thanks for your advices.

 

What about csrutil issue in MacOS Sonoma Recovery Mode ? Error message: "csrutil failed to update system integrity configuration. failed to set csr-active-config" Don't work too: csrutil authenticated-root disable.

 

- The USB Patches I refered to are not disabled! They are set to "Disabled = False" which is the same as "Enabled". The only reason they are not executed is the "Match OS" parameter!

- Use proper single SSDTs no All-in-one file!

- "Update Firmware only" is a feature of Clover Configurator, not OpenCore!

- Format the disk and perform a clean install

Thanks 😊

 

- The USB Patches : I remove these old patches that is the best way

- I can use several SSDT rather the SSDT-All-in-ON (approved by MaldOn). I don't understand why ?

- I don't use Clover Configuator app. "Update Firmware only" is not present in Clover config-sample.plist (GitHub repo). Maybe I'm wrong, but this feature isn't present too in the Clover source files either. I try to generate a SMBIOS from Clover configurator app: no key for "Update Firmware only". I don't understand. For SMBIOS iMac20,1: mine 21/05/2023 > Clover configurator app 4/03/2023 !

 

***** EDIT *******

 

In my config.plist: I add this two keys before clean up. And Trust=True in SMBIOS section.

<key>KbdPrevLang</key>
            <false/>
            <key>language</key>
            <string>fr:60</string>

Now csrutil command work fine 😊

csrutil authenticated-root disable : Command recognized here on Recovery mode.

 

The only change in my config.plist: I add this two keys below. And Trust=True in SMBIOS section.

<key>KbdPrevLang</key>
            <false/>
            <key>language</key>
            <string>fr:60</string>

Now csrutil command work fine 😊

Interesting. When early betas of Catalina were released, the install assistant only showed a grey background without text if the language was not set to US English because it didn't contain tranlations at that stage. But I didn't know that this could affect recovery as well. So when working with beta versions of macOS using "en-US:0" is best way to maximize compatibility.

 

BTW: In the Boot section, delete the "Legacy" key. It's not required.

I don't know if language key affect directly the issue. It doesn't matter. The important thing is that it works now.

 

On Beta 6, there is a choice language windows. Strangely, Recovery OS Interface was in Russian before.

Latest commit is not final. I wil do more.

Anyway I see no how latest commit may influence on your situation.

Hi

On your AMD Hack do you have a BCM943xx as Wifi card ?

With latest Clover r5155 (2711170df commit) dis you add the new KEY BlockSkywalk (bool set to FALSE) ?

If BlockSkywalk is not present in KernelAndKextPatches section the default value is TRUE and with TRUE value BlockSkywalk macOS (14,13,12,...) can't boot, certainly your pbm.

Regards

Hi @matxpa Block Skywalk is optional. If I understand the lines of code in the commit correctly. By defaut the value is FALSE. Sorry.

HI

Did you try the last Clover build without BlockSkywalk key in config.plist ?

Hi
I don't try for the moment this commit 2711170. For testing my onboard Intel 9560 ac on Sonoma,  I use the previous one. On your side you tried ?

adding in the config BlockSkywalk no, sonoma it starts with the latest clover commit

Yes I've already tried it since few days as you could see on this screenshot below (r5155 (2711170) local XCOD8 build)

 

 

So try r5155 without BlockSkywalk in config.plist, with BlockSkywalk activated, with BlockSkywalk deactivated

 

And the reason why i would try this r5155 release is the BCM94360 Wifi card on this Asus Laptop, i suppose it's a legitimate reason.

 

Spoiler

 

And to close this topic look in CloverBootloader/rEFIt_UEFI/Settings/ConfigPlist/Config_KernelAndKextPatches.h line code number 318

...

rEFIt_UEFI/Settings/ConfigPlist/Config_KernelAndKextPatches.h:318:    XBool dgetBlockSkywalk() const { return BlockSkywalk.isDefined() ? BlockSkywalk.value() : XBool(true); };

...

Is this key should be applied this way ?

Hi @matxpa @Slice Thanks a lot. I'm not an expert in code lines, so I don't see that. @matxpa You're right BlockSkywalk should be defined FALSE by default instead of TRUE.

[iCanaro]

@jsl2000 

must be like in the config sample

Thanks, but legacy Clover 5154/5155 got KP at Sonoma and no such an issue at Ventura in B85M-G hackintosh.

[Partially Solved]

1. This key should be true instead of False for my B85M-G hackintosh.

2. OpenCore can enable BCM4352 WiFi adapter now, but Clover still failed to connect any WiFi hub/port.

@SliceThe latest beta build (and following) does not work for me. I get the following error:

 

 

Previous build works fine (check log for reference)

After set BlockSkywalk key from False to True my B85M-G hackintosh got the same error as yours.

[cankiulascmnfye]

@jsl2000 That's interesting because I don't block any kexts in my config.

Try latest commit 7d21f54: boot fine here 😊
