May be there were different Sonoma versions?

Even if there were differences macOS versions, it doesn't change the fact that every Clover build after November 16th is not working if the BlockSkywalk Quirk is required while previous builds work even with the lates version of 14.2

I have an OpenCore EFI for this system as well and blocking Skywalk + injecting the wifi kexts + patching with OCLP to re-enable broadcom cards still works. So the patching principle as a whole still works.

Based on this, I think changes made to Clover after November 16th are the reason why BlockSkywalk is no longer working.

Maybe it would be a good ided to create a new branch based on commit bdb7a95 where BlockSkywalk still works and continue from there. @Jief_Machak

Hi

I've (re)built Clover from different commits (check out commit after commit on a local Repo)

r5157_a9b0654 (20231112-03h48) --> Wifi BCM 4360 works

r5157_1914496 (20231116-19h14) --> Wifi BCM 4360 works

r5157_bdb7a95 (20231116-22h10) --> Wifi BCM 4360 works

but with r5157_c5cb646 (20231119-18h16) boot crash

and with r5157_9e2bc77 (20231120-20h06) boot get stuck rapidly

Regards

Thus you say commit 32fbf76326ba45d6c06f6b3655877dbec21da2fd is the first wrong commit.

your log shows the patches were not applied to the files.

Now the reason may be you'r using a beta version of Xcode

my patch checks for bundle version, maybe that is the reason why it fails.

I did not consider the beta version at that time

Don't know really what to say as now i do not have anymore a working machine to test

But the patches are ok.

Hi.

All tests mad with Builds (Releases) done on a Laptop Ivy with Sonoma 14.1.2 and Xcode 15.0.1

To answer you : Clover build can't be done with commit 32fbf763, build aborted

And with r5157_c5cb646 (20231119-18h16) build done but with an immediate crash at boot

with r5157_9e2bc77 (20231120-20h06) build done but boot get stuck rapidly with BlockSkywalk = TRUE + IOSkywalkFamily.kext and IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext

and I can add the next (tested) commits (build done but boot get stuck rapidly with BlockSkywalk = TRUE + IOSkywalkFamily.kext and IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext)

with r5157_544d3ce (20231121-01h02), r5157_20e924f (20231126-17h10), r5157_09938d4 (20231126-17h24), r5157_153691a (20231202-12h14) and the last one r5157_e614deb (20231204-23h09)

Tried bdb7a95 "changes in OC", no luck. Every time BlockSkyWalk is enabled, I get early KP. Same with current build.

Silly question: how to disable SecureBoot in Clover?

I am using the latest Acidanthera mtoc then build Clover without issue Xcode 15.0.1 Sonoma 14.2 (23C63)

So why not using an already binaries rather than trying to compile it

@Slice I made the change if you want I can commit then using Acidanthera mtoc simple as that.

Well, I've notice that recently manual updating required todelete the whole EFI forlder and rebuilding it (put back kexts, config)

So far I provided:

Issue report (incl. Bootlog) here: https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/issues/651

Also: we've established that BlockSkywalk most definitely stopped working after November 16th.

for some of us never worked

i have used EFi you kindly posted some messages above and i have the same hang some of us have in early bootloader stage.

So problem is deeper to rule

I have no intel system so my problem could be different (clover doesnt work so well in AM5 system (audio crackling))

But curious and happy if wifi problem is solved for some people!

As well your Clover is not working for me too. Same hang after BootKernelExtensions.kc as with many other versions if BlockSkywalk = true.

So the problem is not with the Clover version.

No I didn't coz on my Laptops Tinkpad T550 and T450 Wifi card is an Intel (AirportItlwm.kext) and on my Desktop Z270 Wifi is an USB Stick with a Realtek chip and Chris1111's Wireless USB Adapter.

And with (your latest commit) r5157_0eac408 (20231208-19h20) XCODE15 RELEASE boot hang after BootKernelExtensions.kc as all the commits after r5157_bdb7a95 (20231116-22h10) do.

But it's not significant, the two last commits don't concern bootloader code

Thanks, but replaced with your BOOTX64.efi & CLOVERX64.efi as well as your settings my Z690 hackintosh still got the same hang in early boot of Clover 5157 as before.

One more question did your CPU in X75 have AVX2 instruction codes because ordinary Ivy Bridge's CPU need more to boot Ventura & Sonoma in my case ?

You are right and thank you for the investigation. There are two questions:

1. Why Clover before 16 November works for you and later not? While opencore always work. There is definitely mistake in 32fbf76 commit.

2. Why your working Clover is not working for me and some other users? Hardware dependency?

I see no how these two questions are connected.
