Please check if:

• You are running BIOS F9i or F9g
• CFG-Lock is disabled in BIOS Setup --> Boot

I’m running f9g and CFG-lock is disabled

Edit: would my EFI folder help?

Hello @Stewie23,

Some questions:

• Which version of macOS were you running when you converted from Clover to OpenCore? Mojave?
• According to the Clover-to-OpenCore upgrade guide, the first thing we do after configuring the OpenCore EFI folder is to re-run Mojave. That tells us whether the EFI folder is set up correctly.
• Were you able to do that?

Just fixed an issue with HackinDROM Website which didn't allowed to use latest CaseySJ's plists to generate/copy in CopyConfig.
Sorry!

Hi @Inqnuam, Is this normal?? All previous OC updates through the HackinDROM app have worked fine but now I'm not seeing any update option.

Hello,
please open your EFI folder and take a screenshot like mine below

Not sure why mine has an Apple Folder

Everyone will get an APPLE folder when a macOS update is installed. That folder can safely be deleted.

Not sure why mine has an Apple Folder

HackinDROM App doesn't create Apple folder
Probably it came with a macOS update
Please create a Report Archive and post it

Thank you, @CaseySJ. I'll delete the Apple Folder.
Report Archive Attached.
