mnfesq Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 how did you get grey? everyone else is black It's a mystery to me. I am using the MacBookPro10,2 smbios and I get a black screen when booting in normal mode. But, in normal mode, at the second boot stage, I get some strange screen artifacts which I am assuming come from the progress bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJALM© Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 so you no longer get the grey apple screen but now a messed up black screen on 2nd stage? r u using clover or chameleon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADHDMedia Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 My boot stage screens have only changed slightly, whereas I used to get a grey screen with a garbled progress bar at second stage, I now get a black screen with a correct progress bar. First stage remains the same, black screen, progress bar. No Apple logo on either stage for me. Using Clover, anyhow. Chameleon draws the boot screen itself so they both show light grey with the darker grey Apple logo and progress bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion71au Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 @mnfesq, Your results with -v in the second boot phase are the same as what @pico joe & I reported in the boot logo thread. I also get the inversion of colours if booting normally without -v. see post #108 and post#130. Interestingly, @Slice mentions the first phase graphics is handled by boot.efi (unless booting with -v) while the second phase graphics is done by the kernel post#47. @Download-Fritz thinks its some argument passed over to boot.efi by Apple's firmware (that isn't currently done by Clover) that allows the logo to display in the first phase.

theconnactic Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 P.S.: iCloud drive is sweet and a game changer. I don't have Mavericks anymore: Yosemite at this early stage already fulfill all my desktop needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJALM© Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 so cham works with boot logo? I can't use cham as i hav all UEFI hardware and my BIOS won't boot legecy on GPT only MBR and i won't degrade my system for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I personally think the progress bar with no Apple logo is cool and thought it was a feature. I cannot enable native resolution with Clover, so I really don't care about having a stretched grey bitten apple, unless this means something is broken and should be fixed. Otherwise, I'll let things as is, because I'm satisfied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is this: When I boot in verbose mode (-v), I get the gray screen with the dark gray apple and the white progress bar. When I boot in regular mode, I get the black screen with the white progress bar and no apple logo. In regular mode, at the second boot stage, I get the white artifacts that are visible in the photo. I am using Clover as my bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YungRaj Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I get a grey Apple logo in second stage with grey Apple and Statusbar while in verbose AFTER updating to DP3 (otherwise it was a VERY splashed up screen pretty nasty to look at ). In normal bootup, I get a slightly splashed up screen with just the progress bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using Clover as my bootloader. I don't understand this, because for me, when I boot in verbose, the verbose boot takes up all of the first stage and my screen switches to second stage (same black screen with white progress bar) before GUI. How are you getting a first stage boot logo at all while booting in verbose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfesq Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 BTW, I am now getting a black screen with white spinning wheel at shutdown/restart instead of the light gray screen with dark gray spinning wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you getting a first stage boot logo at all while booting in verbose? I'm not. The first boot stage in verbose mode is the usual lines of text. No need to post a photo of that. What is news to me is the apple logo/progress bar in the second boot stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJALM© Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You can install chameleon on your EFI partition and boot it using UEFI, I just did it a few hours ago while trying to fix iMessage lol ASUS haswell simply won't boot a legecy bootloader on GPT be it on the EFI partition or not. also my SSD needs CSM disabled so what good is a legecy bootloader, I use PCIe SSDs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I meant trying to figure out how to go about booting Chameleon with impossible hardware. That's the "trouble" I was referring to.

PJALM© Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 how often does your nvram change that u need to be saving it all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoatman Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 how often does your nvram change that u need to be saving it all the time? It does not save period - the number of times it changes is not the issue. in 10.9.4 Clover saves the nvram at every shutdown, but yosemite is different.

AsusFreak Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It needs to be saved to use SP > Startup Disk. I might go from Yosemite to Mav to Windoze many times daily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADHDMedia Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You can drop the script into terminal and it will save your nvram.plist to root for you. I noticed mine still isn't saving it for me, but I at least have an nvram.plist at root, hopefully serving some kind of purpose lol So anyhow, I'm feeling like DP3 is pretty solid, feels a bit snappier and I'm Geekbench'ing about 800 points higher than I was on DP2.
