Thanks Fearthech. But I checked all those mini patch versions guides, and I can see there is always some parts need to change in config.plist. So your method upgrade to latest works only if I copy 0.6.9 EFI folder attached to this thread? It's my second OC upgrade, and I don't know so much about it. I'm afraid to break my system. How should I update kexts? With Hackintool or somehow?

Hi, I would like to update my OC 0.6.2 to 0.6.9. Should I do all updates one by one patch version:
OC 0.6.2 to 0.6.3
OC 0.6.3 to 0.6.4
OC 0.6.4 to 0.6.5
OC 0.6.5 to 0.6.6
OC 0.6.6 to 0.6.7
OC 0.6.7 to 0.6.8
OC 0.6.8 to 0.6.9

Or I just can follow OC 0.6.8 to 0.6.9 guide? Also I would like to make changes for config.plist without replacing EFI folder with yours, because I am afraid to lose other changes I have done to my config.plist

So what is the best way to upgrade OC and kexts to newest version? I have hackintosh tool installed and I see there is option there to update kexts, is it safe? (added photo).I also use OpenCore Configurator for config.plist edit.

Thanks

You can upgrade directly to latest. If you use the HackinDROM app, it provides ability to customize the update. The app will backup the existing EFI folder so you can always manually merge anything that is not merged by the app.

Ok, I downloaded this app. But I don't understand how I can merge my current EFI folder with your latest EFI folder? Any guide? Thanks

Oh I think I found your HackinDROM App guide @CaseySJ , but I see this notice:
Contraindication (Reason NOT to Use this App):

• If you have a multi-boot system (macOS, Windows, Linux, etc.) and the boot loaders for those other operating systems (Windows, Linux) are located in the same EFI folder as OpenCore itself, please do not use this HackinDROM App.

I am using Windows 10 (not so much, just for RGB control and GPU Drivers updates)

But below your guide I see screenshot of your HackinDROM App and I see you also use dual boot and have Windows and Linux installed. So my question is how did you achieve that?

On which disk is the Windows boot loader installed? If it’s installed on the same disk (same EFI partition) as OpenCore then we cannot use the app. But if it’s located on a different disk then the app can be used.

I am not sure, My windows and macos are installed in separate SSDs. But my EFI for macos looks like this (added photo)
I see Microsoft folder, so I guess EFI is the same. But why, if I have installed Windows on separate drive and followed your guide to install windows first. If I'm right, how I can transfer Windows EFI files to other EFI drive?

 

[f1zzas]

I think my EFI folder for macOS is in Windows SSD actually, am I right? And why are there is so many folders for macOS drive? Is this normal or I should delete any of them?

Installing Windows first is not sufficient. Please refer to this in Post 1:

When we click the link, we see this:

That first step in the red box makes all the difference.

Nevertheless, you can still do this:

• Boot into macOS and mount the EFI partition (your system has only one EFI partition). All the other disks and volumes are 100% normal.
• In Finder, move the Microsoft folder to the root level of the EFI disk (i.e. move it out of the EFI folder).
• Then run the HackinDROM App and perform the OpenCore update.
• Finally, use Finder to move the Microsoft folder back into the EFI folder.
• All done. Reboot.

Hmm, what if I backup current Windows disk, then reformat Windows SSD by your given red noted guide. After that, I will copy all files from backup to new formatted disk, and then I will copy Microsoft folder from macOS EFI disk to Windows EFI disk? It also strange for my that you can see your Windows, macOS, Linux disks in HackinDROM App, I can see only EFI disk, not macOS either Windows disk not showing up.

But I have been using it all day without problems with the flashed GC-Titan Ridge. Maybe 11.4 beta 2 fixed it?

Edit: I also changed PCI-slot from middle to bottom, don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Edit 2: Using TitanRidgeMacOSFirmware.bin from DSM2 atm.

Will retest this shortly!

My GC-Titan Ridge is flashed with NVM 23 (Elias). Frequency of crashes has reduced, but system still crashes under 11.4.
