Copying them into the template you provided and using that one seems to have done the job. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are giving me to much credit... I am just an stubborn user with some experience with this board. My knowledge of firmware and UEFI is still lacking to be able to do the 'real' work. Just trying to bring the best out of this board and to give back to the community that has given me the little knowledge I have.

I had same thing with Ozmosis on my board, but i waited few minutes even with same errors above and the install screen appeared.

IronManJFF Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Thanks for your input ammoune78. Here is where I am now ... I waited and waited (thanks to Ammoune78 and HPB .. Mojave thread) and installer finally finished its work (clean install on separate partition). It rebooted and I am seeing a blank screen (mouse pointer is working) but there is no window or nothing to click ...maybe because I am using a GTX 970... I am pretty sure i should be at the config screen. 9 minutes ago, ammoune78 said: Kext injection doesn't work on Mojave yet.

In the meantime I was able to make some progress.... had to boot in single-user mode to load FakeSMC.kext and change boot-args to disable Nvidia which caused Kernel Panic. There are limitations right now (like not Nvidia Web drivers) But the good news so far is Mojave on QUO -> It can be done (Disclaimer : We are still on Dev Beta so ...)

IronManJFF Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I replaced the APFS module I had in my ROM image with the BA6ED98D-D133-4F5B-8787-D2464BB21122.ffs file, when I reboot the screen flashes green but I am not able to access any APFS file systems (I was able to boot but loading APFS,efi which I still had in ESP) . What am I missing ? Edited June 18, 2018 by IronManJFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing ?Remove the APFS.efi from the ESP, check HermitShellX64.ffs is on the rom, reboot and call boot.efi you should normally boot fineSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecekpawon Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 1" flashed green meant ApfsDriverLoader found apfs.efi and load it into buffer succesfully. While red is not / error with empty buffer / cannt found apfs.efi. After flashed green ApfsDriverLoader should load & start the buffer as driver. The main reason I have added those flashed screen just for debugging purpose & distinguish with official release until they fix it, nothing more. Is APFS currently listed if you type "drivers" command from Shell, after flashed green? You may also try (highly recommend) to "replace_body" PE32 section in ffs with latest official ApfsDriverLoader.efi using UEFITool. ApfsDriverLoader start able to work with Oz after this commit (reconnect driver after load & start apfs.efi). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cecekpawon Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 With official release or you tested em all? Almost positive here that i cant help you with those situation. Really have done nothing special here to make it work with standard extfat & hfs+ installed. Just to make sure, apfsloader must be loaded before ozmosis. Try with bcfg first before embedding it into rom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
