eSaF Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If you've updated to OC 0.7.0 or 0.7.1, I think you need to update the config.plist with the New Flavor options also while you're at it, you should also update the Resources Folder which you can find here -https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData - for the latest version. Good luck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogic Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hi and thanks for your suggestion, however it did not change the screen as above, I think with picker built in it should have all the resources it needs hence built in i did try and load up the icons pack and updated the drivers but as above!

eSaF Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Herve is correct - looking at your readout, you have too many things selected in your config. plist also the Validate reading is showing errors (see my attached readout). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzylogic Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 have tried as suggested, the red error for some strange reason is to do with the fact that i have picker set to builtin. my os does boot i am just trying via a usb flash with opencore 071 my current opencore is 069 which works fine even with builtin I will keep chipping away at it i always try via a usb flash any new versions of opencore that way i still retain a bootable os thankyou for your help much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSaF Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 @fuzzylogic Hi - If you click on the 'red error' it will tell you exactly what is missing or wrong. You need to click on the 'Upgrade OC main Program' Icon to correct the errors and then save the alterations, reboot and clean NVRAM. (See attached).

fuzzylogic Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 it would seem some of the errors are actually opencore builds here is the latest information from opencore this is the latest commit so opencore 071-06- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Do you have all OpenCore related files from the same build? I mean Drivers - Tools folders (and their content) and OpenCore.efi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogic Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 yes, i just transfere over my config file to the new efi folder on my usb flash drive and try and boot from it. I have been using opencore for a long time so i suspect there are too many changes thus causing issues between the various motherboards, although my motherborad is a z390 the asrock boards tend to have their own quirks, basically i look at my old working config plist and compare it, so my working config is for opencore 069 which boots fine so i check that off the latest commit. In the boot menu it shows the icons but they are efi which to me suggests that it is looking internally, I may try looking at picker again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 @fuzzylogic - Hi the Resources folder contains no files they are all empty (is that intentional?), you need to download the lates files Resources files from here - https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData - and replace the one found with yours. You may have to delete some of the language files in the Audio Folder for your own as it maybe too large for the EFI Partition in it's entirety. Here I have downloaded it for you but like I said you will need to remove the other languages in the Audio Folder for your own.

I asked @fuzzylogic to remove Resources/Audio to decrease the size of the EFI folder, perhaps it has removed all in Resources. 8 hours ago, fuzzylogic said: EFI.7z removed all audio and labels in resources folder, thank you for helping Ok, I'll see and comment.

fuzzylogic Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 to reduce file size resources folder contents were removed remember that this efi is the latest commit from opencore you could try builtin as the boot option and also remember that most programs like oc auxiallary tools will throw an error due to it not supporting commits above 070 the commit in the efi is 071 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) @fuzzylogic Here I upload your EFI. I have added Acidanthera / GoldenGate theme in Resources / Image folder, it is the default theme when PickerVariant = Default. I have set PickerAttributes = 144 for the new Flavour system implemented in 0.7.0 to work. I have made minor changes to config.plist. I booted from USB with this EFI and the OpenCanopy picker shows perfectly (screenshot attached). Try yourself and comment if it also works well.

Default validation tool from OpenCore developers (ocvalidate) throws no errors at all. Edited June 19, 2021 by miliuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 @fuzzylogic If you don't see macOS disk in the picker, add ApfsDriverLoader.efi into Drivers folder and config.plist. Although OpenCore has this driver built in, sometimes booting from USB sticks it's required to add it manually. ApfsDriverLoader.efi.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
