Any reason not to put the full installer on a USB to use on different machines? That’s what I do or I put on my server to “download” to each machine after downloading it once from MIST.

For one:

It takes longer for the catalog to be updated to offer the full installer to download

For two:

It takes longer to transfer the full installer to USB disk and then takes a bit longer to install it as an update

For three:

I prefer to install the incremental updates instead

Incremental update is my way but what about empty computer just from shop? There is no such BIOS to download macOS from Apple server.

There is a way to produce USB drive with Recovery and let it to download full system. But producing such stick is an art.

We were talking about updating the systems with macOS already installed on them using the incremental and full installer updates.

Apple computers all come with macOS pre-installed on them but if you buy them used or if you replace the disk (on older models) or replace the logic board on newer models macOS will not be present and you need to install it using a USB disk, and about the Hacks we know that's whole other story.

 

I do have serval USB installer disks available and I use them on regular bases. If you do need to install macOS on an empty device you are going to need the full installer anyway.

Hi All

 

No update Beta 6 yet this morning (France): with or without RestricEvents. I use Clover 5154 (Z390, SMBIOS 20,1) without OCLP 🥲

 

 

******EDIT*****

 

After resyncho ICould data, Beta 6 show up in Settings/SoftwareUpdate 😊

Question, So for machines that are Z690 and Z790 that need the below, will your recommendation's still make our machines boot?

You would have to combine your Cpuid1Data/Mask with the VMM Flag and still be able to boot. Of course always have a USB OC backup handy 😉

So it would look this:

As discussed above, you may see an Update but it will be Full Installer not necessarily an Incremental Update depending the state of any Root Patches installed.

 

I guess I'm getting way off-topic now regarding Updates. Sorry.

See earlier discussion above as to why you see Full Installer Update vs small Incremental Update.

Basically, if you have made Root Patches with OCLP or otherwise, then you have to revert those Root patches and reboot. Software Update will then show the Incremental update.

 

EDIT: Or it could be SMBIOS Specific check ?

If you are using RestrictEvents.kext add revpatch=sbvmm boot arg. If you're not using RE kext add it and then add the boot-arg. You'll get the incremental update

About the VMM board ID spoof: I've recently learned that that there's an undocumented flag in OpenCore which allows enabling the VMM board-id via Kernel/Emulate instead of using Restrict Events or Kernel Patches. Just in case someone wants to try it out.

I already tried that as @MacNB suggested earlier but it didn't work. I guess it has been merged into RestrictEvents.kext (not entirely sure about it tho)

I've clean installed DP6 on my Kaby Lake rig and used the latest OCLP build (Commit fd17caf) and after installing the root patches I could connect to Wi-Fi networks without having to open the System Settings -> Wi-Fi
