The everything works Asus Z390-I Gaming * i7-8700K * SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX Vega 64 Build

Sorry, I've updated the post!

How can I roll back? I did the Carbon Copy a couple of versions back 5120 I believe.
If you don't have a working USB boot drive make one with an older version of Clover and boot from it. Then reinstall the older version of Clover that worked to your hard drive
 
@ModMike, I just want to thank you for having this build documented so well. I'm still on Cover, and using their new Clover app, I updated to v5124 without any indication that they incorporated the quirks section of the OpenCore config into their config. And, if you didn't know that, and your hack restarts, you can't boot! Thankfully, between your OpenCore config, the OpenCore guides, and some other information, I was able to use the UEFI shell to manually add in all the quirks to the config.plist. Thankfully back into my machine.

Who releases an update that will, not could, break people's configs with no warnings?
 
Has anyone tried to install Big Sur with Clover on this configuration? With Catalina (+Clover) everything works perfectly for me, I would like to understand if I will have problems with Big Sur and if any of you could share the new efi folder. Thank you!
 
Problem: I can't boot into catalina without the installation usb stick.

More Info:
I've just reinstalled catalina using opencore and the files that the Modmike provided, and
I've opened the efi of my usb stick and the the efi on my installation drive, and copied over from the usb (replacing the efi folder on the main drive).

What Happens:
When I restart without the usb installation drive, it automatically goes into bios. I select to boot from the main drive, save and exit, but it keeps bringing me back into bios, but with the boot drive not set. I set it again, and it repeats to enter the bios and leave the boot drive blank. The only way to load into catalina is to plug in my usb installation disk.
I've heard this is a bug of opencore.

Anyone know what the solution is?

I have exactly the same behaviour but I don't need the USB stick (the EFI on my NVE is working) but regarding the bios I have the same (doesn't save or remember the last boot device)

As far as I know you do not have the "F1" bug which on booting up brings you to the Bios Screen pronouncing you have started in 'Safe Mode". There is a fix for that but the behavior you are describing sounds more like the disk is unbootable. You can go into the bios and change which disk it should see to boot but then it just brings you back to the bios screen because it can't find a bootable partition on your disk. That's what it sounds like and is normal.

To get the hard disk to boot you have to unhide the hidden EFI partition and then do the same thing on your USB Drive so you can copy the working EFI folder over. I use EFI Agent to mount the partitions but there are several ways to do that.

Have you tried either refreshing the bios or more simply clearing the NVRAM?

do you mean that the efi partitions need to be always visible? How do I do that?
