Clover auto select

[Antiorthodoxy]

Hi, I'm having trouble getting Clover to automatically select OSX when I turn my computer on or restart. It was working on Sierra, but not anymore on High Sierra. I have tried changing DefaultVolume to LastBootedVolume and my current volume name, and timeout to "2", "1", and "0" but no luck.

Anyone?

Attach your config.plist

Hi, here is my plist.

Still need help.

• In your config.plist >Gui >Scan section shows [√] Legacy. [See edited image]

• Do you have Windows in "Legacy" mode booting as dual boot in this system?
  • Increase the >Timeout to 10 (in config.plist>Boot >Timeout) for now and reboot and take a Picture of your Clover Boot Manager Screen and upload that to the forum. [Time out increased to get enough time on CBM to take Good photo]
• On reaching Desktop, launch Terminal to type the following Command(s) and take the screen Capture of Terminal command outputs to upload for review.
  • diskutil list
• The above will list all the disks in your sysytem
• Find the HighSierra System disk from that list.
  • Find the line "Apple_HFS High Sierra " and under the last column named "IDENTIFIER" find its disk number something like "disk0s2" your's could be same or different [This is the large partition with High Sierra System files]
• Next type the command below:
• sudo diskutil info /dev/disk0s2 is you had noted disk0s2 or substitute that with your disk IDENTIFIER
  
• Take screen capture of the entire Terminal screen to upload. [This is to get your Volume UUID for your Disk which is unique to be used for "Default Boot Volume" in config.plist>Boot]

I don't know if Windows is in "Legacy" mode. I updated from Yosemite to Sierra and now Windows won't boot anymore. I changed the timeout to 10 and attached the terminal screenshot.

• Thank you for the screen shots of diskutil command
  
• I have edited and uploaded the screen shot
  • You have 3 hard disks there
    
  • Disk 0 is 1 TB with 2 system partitions with an EFI partition .
    • OS X 500 GB
      
    • Microsft Windows ~ 500 GB
  • Disk 1 120GB (I guess SSD) I guess High Sierra (because you have used that for finding its Volume UUID in the command below)
  • Disk 2 120GB I guess SSD Windows System Disk

• If you had uploaded the Clover Boot Manager Screen before you booted as I had asked for in my earlier response, I could have seen the icons of boot disks there.
  
• Based on the above information you have provided, I can suggest :
  • Use Volume UUID found in your command output -> 5AF86FF1-8A8E-3782-837A-879916A0372A in the box "Default Volume " in config.plist _Boot after opening config.plist in CCV as shown in the image # 2, I have uploaded
    
  • Don't change the timeout yet from 10 seconds
  • Reboot the computer >Press Del key> Take picture (s) of your BIOS >BIOS Features>Boot Option Priorities to upload
    • Make all the devices listed in boot Options Priorities to your view to take pictures.
      
    • Then change the devices in such a way that your UEFI macOS High Sierra Disk is in # 1
    • Then click each and every one below that one by one and click DISABLE
      
    • Finally you should have only your High Sierra Disk in the list; all others "DISABLED"
      
    • Take a Final Picture
      
    • Press F10 to Save and then boot
  • During reboot press F-12 take a Picture of boot menu screen to upload [I expect more than your High Sierra Disk in that screen with Bogus disks likely to cause booting problem]
    
  • Then select your High Sierra disk to enter CBM screen
  • Take a Picture of your Clover Boot Manager Screen to upload
  • boot to the desktop
  
  
• From the above steps and uploaded images I may be able to suggest the next best options to fix the problems.

Thanks for your help so far. Here are the pictures I took of the BIOS and Clover Boot Manager.

Thanks for your help so far. Here are the pictures I took of the BIOS and Clover Boot Manager.

Thank you for the images uploaded . Missing is the F12 Boot screen shot.

• I have edited the images and combined BIOS screen shot with CBM screen shot and uploaded .

• In CBM screen, it is easy to find macOS High Sierra System disk and its Recovery Partition side by side from the previous post giving the information of a 120GB SSD being the High Sierra disk (you selected it to find UUID Volume in diskutil command )and confirmed by the BIOS screen provided here [see edited composite images of BIOS Boot Option Priorities and CBM Screen]
  
• The icon shown in CBM as "NTFS" , I suspect is your Windows but cannot say whether it is UEFI or Legacy from this shot .
• I expect you to be able to boot from here to High Sierra using the "boot macOs from OS X " icon
• I don't know whether you could boot that NTFS icon to Windows Desktop an information you have not provided in your post with the posted images

My suggestion based on the above:

• Boot NTFS icon and take screen shots if there are problems anywhere during boot .
  • If you can log on to Windows (I guess Windows 10 as that information is not provided in the post),
    
  • download EasyUEFI to Windows and
    
  • launch EasyUEFI to change boot order and make your High Sierra at the top.
    
  • You may DISABLE others .
    
  • DO NOT Delete Windows in EasyUEFI .
  Edited to add:
• In Windows Start> Run type [msinfo32] >OK or Enter
  
  • In "System Information" screen Left Panel click "System Summary"
  • Right Panel scroll down toward middle and locate "BIOS MODE" : in "Value" column, note UEFI or Legacy [See image]
