datagr Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hello folks. I cloned the whole triple boot disk to a bigger SSD but now I don’t even get the CLOVER menu. All the partitions and data are there but the new disk is not bootable. I’m guessing there are some serial number values somewhere that I need to edit. If that’s the case could you please guide me through the process? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the method, EFI is not cloned, so you have to copy it manually. Edited November 25, 2021 by trifero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mounted the old and the new SSD to a desktop computer and I used AOMEI. I used the “clone disk” option. Is there a tested method that you could recommend me? Thank you for the reply.

Thank you for the reply. hmm. yes check that the new drive comes out GPT/GUID formatted with the same stuff in the EFI. hmm or I wonder if the old T420 bios can recogize the new disk properly? is it a large SSD? I use a disk caddy for my 2nd drive so I have a 750GB SATA is in the main bay and a small 250 SSD is in the caddy. $ ssh toms-mac.local diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *750.2 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_APFS Container disk3 719.9 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_HFS macOS-Sierra 29.9 GB disk0s3 /dev/disk1 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *250.1 GB disk1 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1 2: Apple_APFS Container disk2 197.8 GB disk1s2 3: Microsoft Basic Data C 50.0 GB disk1s3 4: Windows Recovery 878.7 MB disk1s4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means special installer and then post-fixes. I use the auto-install method to do the post-install for MBP8,1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetonne Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Hi guys let's have a look to : https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey may be some best of us could help to make HD3000 for monterey? Update : answer of Chris1111 : To find out if this is possible you would have to test OCLP the TUI version and save the program LOG so that we can see what kexts and Fraworks are needed for the HD3000.

leaddonkey Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Anyone use the express card slot in their T420 with a hackintosh? I’m on high sierra at present but would be nice to add a higher throughput for USB devices. Also, outside of the Catalina/Mojave, has anyone successfully upgraded to any newer macOS through OC method? Thinking I’d put a few hours into researching it, but if smarter heads here have looked I’ll stick with an updated to Catalina and call it a day. UPDATE 3/6/23: Express Card slot works with my Hackintosh T420 with High Sierra. Edited March 7, 2023 by leaddonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaddonkey Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If anyone would like to, I was able to successfully get my T420 to boot into BigSur with opencore and the OCLP getting the Intel HD3000 graphics working. Outside of a sleep issue, it works flawlessly and is fairly quick (16gb of ram) and SSD. I know BigSur went EOL October '23, but at least it's newer than S/HS/M. Trying to get Monterrey/Ventura/Sonoma to work as I'm ok that certain things won't work (photos crashes constantly, works occassionally). People on the r/hackintosh forum have reported it working, but no one has provided a guide as of yet. And happy new year to all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downlord Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hey Tluck, thank you for the latest update of the repo, I'm actually trying to install Ventura on my T420, and it's actually working with OCLP (some minor issues). Had to use CryptexFixup kext as the CPU is lacking AVX2 instruction set for Ventura. You did a wonderful job with this old machine, you have my respect.

Tetonne Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Hi downlord I totally agree with you about the amazing job done by Tluck could you please share the package for t420 installed on Ventura? best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downlord Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 On 5/4/2024 at 2:19 PM, Tetonne said: could you please share the package for t420 installed on Ventura? best regards The EFI for Open Core is still experimental, having some issues with USB mounting, DVD Drive etc. Keep in mind, I changed the EDID for the AOU FullHD Screen mod. If you use stock screen, use the stock EDID in Tlucks package. Bear in mind I'm using an i7-2720QM CPU so maybe CpuPM is not working properly.
