Ok I've adjusted my Default.plist to the above data and did the 4 finger salute. I try booting from the Mohave (non-clover version) and I still get the crossed circle. As I said I am just using the clover usb so I can gain access to a terminal to set nvram. I also notice, that if I go into the efi shell, and do the dmpstore, the date and version does not match.

Your Defaults.plist is still being rejected if you get the no-no sign ... Your BaseBoardSerial does not jive with your SystemSerial

Hi there!

 

I have tried UEFI shell

The systems appears to be in fs1

and the EFI on fs3

but again all folders are empty.

 

Where I cant look now?

where the defaults.plist file mus be located?

 

Thank you al lot (again!)

 

 

It has to be on fs0: if you want to avoid a bag of hurt

 

 

Both of you...Build signature .. Detailed

Below is a valid Defaults.plist file template for iMac 13,2... put in the serial... you don't need any more variable

Ok now I don't get an immediate stop sign, but it just sits there after I select and installer. USB light is flashing, but I my screen is showing the boot selector screen. Thank you for your help! tim

ROM image compatible with MacOS Mojave (works with previous OS too )

Infinite thanks @Cecekpawon and @TypeThree for providing a solution for Kext injection

I merely assembled it for our beloved motherboard

Z77MXQUOAOS.H20.167X-XMAX.ROM

Good afternoon ,small question . if I use this new bios 

i am using a only the on-board intel graphics card

/EFI/Oz/Defaults.plist

Ok, that was pretty easy..

 

So then I don't have the defaults.plist on any of the 2 QUO computers I have right now (one is mine - the one on the signature) and the other is my dad's wich is just the motherboard (no graphics card).


Actually I don't recall putting manually any of these files, on my Dad's computer I'm sure I didn't, I just updated the BIOS and that's all. On my rackmount I was hesitating, as i wasn't recalling if last year when you helped me to upgrade to El Capitan, we did the defaults. plist.

 

So now is clear I will copy the file and see what happens!

 

THANKS a lot!

You did not need it then because you are simulating a MacPro3,1 and that is the firmware's default. But you cannot use MacPro3,1 on a modern OS...

Got it, this is what I was guessing and was going to be my next question/comment about.

So I just need to look for the serial of any modern (Mojave suitable) mac - like my macbook pro - or has to be iMac 13,2 for some specific reason in order to wok?

 

Just asking to understand a bit more how it works

I am on too many forums. I've updated my signature. :-)

Not sure why, but for some reason it only now accepted my 4 finger salute. So the dmpstore for the bios date and version now match nvram. Booting from the Mohave USB installer, seems to hang at HID: Legacy shim 2 and then the screen locks with a funky look. I am going to try to us my Zotac Video card (GTX470) and see if I can get farther. Thank you for all the help IronManJFF

found that this error can be related to the USB port, so I used a different port (on back). Looks like it worked, waiting for the system to come up after the reboot from installer. not sure how Mohave will behave with my GTX470, but I will soon find out.

Well, success finally. I am now completely dual booting between Mohave and Win10Pro and apparently Mohave is ok with my GTX470. Thank you IronManGFF for your help, I guess between the USB port and the 4 finger salute issue was the final missing part of the equation.

To be clear to anyone else, if your system does do a 4 finger salute properly then the values of the Efi/Oz/Default.plist should show up in your NVRAM (dmpstore -b). Something that I had forgotten about since I had installed Yosemite with this board.

Maybe you should rephrase, not sure what the question is ...

 

You can also ask me in French if that is easier for you

Will this bios work also for the on-board graphics card 

Thank you ..

IronManJFF, Hi, could you post the EFI folder you are using, I'm having the no booting again with 10.14.1 and want to see if the contents on the EFI folder are the culprit. Thanks.:)

You mean my Defaults.plist .. sure as soon as i get home (there was a firmware update with 10.14.1 so you have to adjust BiosDate and BiosVersion...at least for iMac13,2).

Fail. Website down and obviously the product is dead.

Your non-contribution has been noted. You are obviously in need of attention. You had your moment , now GTFO.

No, is not the Defaults.plist, it is something else, you remember this happened with the beta5 and later the problem got away after beta6? must be something like the aptiofix in the Oz rom because booting with a usb with clover it boots ok only that I don't want to use Clover. I was trying to see if you used something else in the Efi/Oz folder. Thanks anyway, lets keep investigating, keep you posted.:(
