Try the solution in post #10954.

I’m afraid to reinstall macos will reset a lot of things. Or are you sure it wont? And to be honest... if replacing te old efi back solves the issue the problem has something to do in the efi content I would expect. Does it make sense to do a whole reinstall??? For me the sounds somewhat strange and not logical. There must be an easier way don’t you think?

I'm not telling you do to a clean install.

Just re-install on top of your existing installation. It's like an update. We don't lose any info and nothing gets reset when we do updates, right?

This is easy. There's nothing difficult about it.

On Catalina, go to config.plist > Misc > Security and disable SecureBootModel.

On Big Sur, you can leave SecureBootModel at default and a patch is needed but I already added it in my EFI.

Thanks! Everything is working now! ;-)


I'm a bit disappointed on the performances' side:


the peak is around 435MB/s and I'm working with SMB2/3 protocol in conjunction with jumbo frames and with no signing on SMB. This copying disk is a Crucial NVMe 1TB and, on the other side, there is a pair of same Crucial NVMe 1TBs as R/W cache on a Xpenology DS918+ with same AQC107 card.


What else Can i do!?

I have a Synology clone too with an 8 disk SHR2 array (no SSD caches). I use APF. No Jumbo Frames. This is what I get. (I'm currently playing some stuff from Plex from it so it may affect speeds slightly...)

Ok I will try that.

Hi @pastrychef
I am running tests on a usb flash drive with OpenCore 0.6.4 and I get this error on startup, and I cannot continue:
OCB: StartImage failed - Already started

Did you clear NVRAM?

Try clearing the NVRAM a few times. Then restart your system and spam the F12 to get the the BIOS boot menu and select your USB flash drive.

Thanks for your answer, I tried 4 times to empty the nvram and every time I press (in my case) F8 to enter the bios boot menu. But nothing happens, the same error code persists.

Are you able to boot in to the Recovery partition? If so, try setting the startup disk to your macOS drive from there and then reboot.

I don't know if I understood correctly, but I did this: From the recovery partition the only disk is this, where macos is installed and I cannot choose the usb flash drive.
