Upgraded to OC 6.6 and the latest MacOS update: 11.2.1.

Reinstalled BigSur yesterday on to a new drive. Made a time machine backup beforehand. Used the USB and installed BS, then used TM to restore everything back and copied over the EFI folder and was up and running within two hours! Got to love the simplicity of MacOS. Another thank you to all the...

Was it as bad as you thought it to be?

Remember to select your startup drive within MacOS. System Preferences > Startup Disk > (unlock padlock) and make sure the drive is highlighted and then click restart target drive. Opencore should remember the last drive you booted from and automatically boot from it.

You need to use r5127 https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/releases However, I would highly recommend switching over to OpenCore, and use the Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ - It really is very simple and very well written so...

Can someone reinstate my reply and remove the YT link. Thank you, and then merge the replies together and delete this post. My EFI folder is on my desktop. I mounted the EFI partition on the MacOS drive. With the mounted EFI folder, drag/copy the EFI folder on the USB stick/or where ever to...

APFS.

I'm wondering if it's a BOIS setting. Did you check around the forums and online about your board to see if others have run in to the same issue? I'm not familiar with ASUS, so I won't be much help.

Did you add the boot argument for your 5000 series card? agdpmod=pikera Used for disabling boardID on Navi GPUs(RX 5000 series), without this you'll get a black screen. Don't use if you don't have Navi(ie. Polaris and Vega cards shouldn't use this) I'm sure you'd need this to boot.

Did you correctly mount the HDD EFI folder and then copied over the EFI folder from the USB? Once that's done it's simply a case of picking the correct HDD from the OpenCore EFI boot menu (what ever you named the drive).

I simply followed the Haswell guide here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/haswell.html Follow it step by step, don't miss anything.

I finally took the dive with OpenCore after putting it off for a while. Was quite some time ago that I started with Clover as I was pretty scared taking the jump to this new way of Hackintoshing. But, I was pleasantly surprised how simple it was when you actually follow the guide to the 'T'...

Exactly, I have a back of a back of a back up! Learnt the hard way years a go when younger. Never again. So many memories were lost...

Just wanted to add that I upgraded my SSD today, only to a 250GB MX500 as I use my Synology for everything. I used CCC it took 3 minutes and 7 seconds to copy/clone. I mounted my EFI partition and copied it over to the new SSD and I was up and running within 5 minutes (typing on it now)...

Soon as I hit the boot screen of Clover it's less then 12/15 seconds to my login screen. This is a basic kingston 128SSD. Followed TRS instructions to a T, and never had an issue.
