no filevault enabled

i just checked ssd in my external bay and its all fine.

Bios just dont see hdd. Ive connected dvd with osx instal and it did see that. Thou i coundt boot it as there wose some kind of problem. Maybe i should downgrade bios and see what happends?

and i think i did it right as i did it before when couple of months u helped me set up high sierra.

I manage to go from Clover manager with dvd instaler to the language screen option then all stop and cant do anyting keyboard is non responsive

The firmware (whatever version) will not list a APFS partition as boot unless you add it with bcfg.

Can you verify that you have Defaults.plist in fs0:\Efi\Oz\Defaults.plist
Plz provide a directory listing (ls) of all partition... if Clover sees it then it can be found by Ozmosis.

to be clear.

I had 100% operational high sierra

my computer got water spillage

i got mobo battery out

now cant bot to osx

re-upload bios put everything on default settings in bios.

i would assume i have all nessesery data on my ssd as i didint do anything to my system data.

i checked

fs0:\Efi\Oz\Defaults.plist

fs1:\Efi\Oz\Defaults.plist

ive checked folders with my ssd on my other laptop and i cant find default.plist

So would I, if you have installed it exactly the way I had told you

You entered it as a command, it is not a command but a path ..and it should be on FS0:

WTF ?? Clover should not even be there... Defaults.plist should be there in the Oz folder

Do this from EFI shell and provide output

fs0:
ls
cd Efi
ls
cd Oz
ls

Looks good ..

Now from UEFI Shell

fs1:
ls
fs2:
ls
fs3:
ls
fs4:
ls

One of them will be your OS partition, at least one will be the RecoveryHD partition(s) ..

@IronManJFF

here u go

and sometimes i got this but i think it happend when i reset/turn off computer while its loading.

my cpu clock is 3.5ghz stock and for some reason its in turbo mode

i would be more then happy to wipe out ssd clean and reinstal everything if this is the case. I need my computer for work ;/

Edited October 30, 2018 by bezna

IronManJFF · October 30, 2018

OK, your OS partition is on fs2:

in UEFI Shell

fs2:

System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi

(I also see that you have a EFI folder there on fs2: and fs3: that does not not belong and was installed by Clover)

bezna · October 30, 2018

holly f it did work:) what next?

IronManJFF · October 30, 2018

In OS X, select your startup drive in system preferences.

Now that you know that your OS is on fs2: do the bcfg part from my previous post

how ? ;/

u mean this ?

Adding the new boot entry

Now issue theses commands (replacing italic by values we found earlier)

fsn:
bcfg boot addp highest number +1 System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi "Name that you want to appear in F12 Menu"

You should get a message saying that the boot entry was added

Restart the system by issuing this command

reset

and go to F12 menu ..it should be there. Select it and it should boot you into High Sierra

The boot entry will persist until you do a nvram reset or flash a new ROM.

YOU ARE A MEGA STAR:D

so far so good will try to connect gtx and another 8gb of ram and see what happends.

IronManJFF · October 31, 2018

small offtopic
i have 2 x8gb ram

when i put 2x8gb in bank 1 and 3 my computer is restarting again and agai but when ram is just in bank 1 its all working fine and i check them both.( is my mobo damage by the water)
aaah and my gtx 1060 is working to but fan starts in the beggining and stops.

Sounds like a defective RAM stick or slot .

GTX1060 normal behavior, the fan spin at boot but then waits until the card reaches 70 Celsius before cooling. Run a benchmark utility like Heaven and make sure the fan starts spinning when reaching 70 degrees... normally it should stop when the card goes back down to 55 degrees

hmmm..

just tried today with Mojave on this board.

Installer runs fine but after reboot and final installation I get the error:

macOS could not be installed.

There is an error checking the firmware ...

might not be accurate error message as its German on my Mac.

Any idea?

macOS could not be installed.

There is an error checking the firmware ...

1. recreate iMac13,2 Default.plist section by Ozmosis Configurator

2. flash BIOS Z77MXQUOAOS.H20.167X-XMAX.ROM again

3. nvram reset

4. install Mojave

BOOM! All set!

hi what is the suppler of your mount case

Hi Guido,

I'm not finding it, no labels no brand.. I bought it a physical shop while shopping, they had it as surpluss, it costed me 90 bucks.. it tried to find the invoice to check if it was some more info, but no luck.

Anyway I found similar enclosures at amazon

This one is very similar

YES! I've get Mojave APFS partition shown on the boot list(f12).

I set APFS partition as first order to boot from.

During installing 10.14.1 update process, system restart twice then back to Majave login screen and the update is not work..

Anything I missed?

1. Download 10.14.1(6g) from appstore and make a bootable installation disk

2. reboot into installation disk and do a clean install (remember to erase target partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), APFS will due to some problem)

3. wait for installation process and automatic restart

4. After finishing installation process, it may reboot into install screen, just use select boot device to boot into new Majave OSX partition.

5. Transfer your data from backup or etc.

6. do bcfg to boot into APFS partition

it's all good now!

Have you got anywhere with the SU for HS? As mentioned by shoxx1122, the 10.14.1 update doesn't work either. It might be for the same reason.

IronManJFF · November 6, 2018

I had not much time to work on it .. I tried 10.14.1 update on my 'beta partition' and it exhibits the same problem ... I need to find time to read Ozmosis thread and see if there is something about kernel patching since 10.14.1/10.13.6SU

I noticed that both updates included a new firmware for iMac13 and updated BiosDate and BiosVersion in Defaults.plist but still no go ...

Casm101 · November 6, 2018

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me with a quick question.... :frantics:

I need Windows for one of my courses at UNI, and I'd like to install it on my main machine (it obviously runs on the Quo motherboard), so I repartitioned my boot drive, and created a Windows 10 installer USB (using the correct method and it has been tested on a normal PC), but for whatever reason, my main system doesn't recognise the installer....

Any ideas?

EDIT: worst case scenario, I can run Windows in a virtual machine, but preferably, I'd like to run it as a normal system, separate from MacOS....
