[Guide] Installing macOS Mojave (10.14.2) on Intel NUCi5BEH using Clover UEFI + updating to Mojave (10.14.6) on post#2

[Leesureone]

OK folks, let me preface this by saying I'm an idiot. I must be because I have followed the instructions now to a T but I am still missing something (no ethernet).

• I installed Clover on my new hard drive and then went into the EFI-Backups folder and cleared out anything other than the r4961 folder because that is the latest build of Clover that I have installed (there were some lingering fragments of previous install versions from multibeast etc...)
• I then went into that and found the EFI folder and emptied it into the trash and then purged the trash
• I copied the contents of @Leesureone EFI folder from post 430 into the EFI folder
• I rebooted - No ethernet
• I repeated the above steps but copied the EFI folder from my original install USB (which had ethernet working!) - no ethernet.

What am I missing. It feels like something small and obvious but I am pulling out what little hair I have left trying to figure this out.

Depending on what continent you live in you may need to apply the "Fix Regions" patch in the config.plist. You can do that through Clover Configurator

I am in North America (United States). Is there a specific version of Clover Configurator that I should use or just the latest version I can find?

You shouldn't need it then because it works for me without.

Can you post your EFI folder? Out of curiosity you haven't used kext beast to install anything to the Library/ Extensions folder right?

 

[Baikinman]

I ran the latest version of Multibeast but I am not sure exactly what it did under the covers. There is a possibility that it did put stuff in the /Library/Extensions folder. Maybe I should just blow everything away and start over?

 

[Baikinman]

Watched a video on Clover Configurator, ran it, loaded up my config.plist, and I ran Generate Config and now everything works. Not sure what it changed but I am now a happy camper.

Given that the original post is not being maintained and drives users down the wrong path, should a new thread be started with the guidance that @Leesureone and others have been giving? I think it would be immensely useful!

Maybe, I thought about starting one but there are four or five on this site already and probably others on other sites. I think by virtue of activity people will probably still stop here, or the main thread Rehabman created, and get stuck. If I thought I could redirect everyone, like Rehabman was able to do when he updated the guide for Mojave, then that would be worth it. Anyway I agree with you and glad you got you machine sorted but I'm still on the fence about writing a separate guide.

I went back and forth for a year on doing a hackintosh, making lists of hardware, checking compatibility, sourcing parts. It's only when I found out the NUC was an option and read through the posts (especially this thread) that I decided to take the plunge. a clear guide to setup is a real service with tangible benefits....I don't know how much I can help to create an update (atleast I could swapout my ssd and test the instructions) but if there's anything that I can do to pay this forward, I'm in.
