Hi! I thought I'd ask again, just in case anyone had an alternative suggestion to troubleshoot/resolve this issue.

Didn't mean to post a dupe. OK.

Hi, again. Sorry. I run Mojave. I don't know why I typed Monterey in the subject. Fixed. This can go back in the Mojave forum. I have been swamped. Questions: - The OC solution seems like I'll need a few hours. Is there anything I can do that might be a bit quicker? OC seems like the best...

Ok. I will squash my fear of change and give it a try.

I do have another working computer I could use to make the installer. However, the instructions seemed to imply the clover cleanup would be necessary prior. Perhaps I misunderstood? Maybe I need to reread them. I would hope to install this on the current (problematic) boot drive. It wouldn't be...

Hello. Yes. :) I would love to try this. However, transitioning to OC would require a working system, right? Based on the instructions I would need to remove certain clover docs, etc. I can't do that without booting up, I assume.

Quick question. Today I go grab a USB stick to make this boot drive. I assume I'll need to make a special boot drive, right? A standard mac boot drive made for a real mac wouldn't work, right? If so, should I create the same boot drive I would use to hack myself a mac (of my current make...

Hello. Thank you. Yes. Two things: 1. I actually did try F12 and it looks quite different. With the correct settings, it still didn't work. I will go over my BIOS settings again, but I think they are correct. 2. I was able to fix a prior issue and get the system running under F11, before this...

OK! Really? I thought surge protector power strips prevented this. My machine was connected to one. I'll have to make 1. Will do. Thank you!

Hello, all. Back again. I didn't upgrade to Opencore, yet. And... my system is down again. I flashed up to F11, as advised in previous posts. This worked! Thank you! Thank you! HISTORY: Kind humans here helped me with a BOOT Media/Press a key error. Then... One day the power went out and when...

Oh... What would be the reason to switch to OpenCore?

I like to learn. I'll figure out how to reflash and upgrade the bios. I am happy to learn about OpenCore as well.

Hello. I have an existing machine that has been working well for years via Clover, until now. Below please find the description of the issue, what I have done so far and my system info. Any help is appreciated! ISSUE I left my machine on overnight. The next day it was not on (or something odd)...

SUCCESS PERHAPS? [In Progress] So... I plug in both UniBeast sticks in both USB 2.0 ports -> F12 -- Now I get a UEFI option. Wow. In Clover. Now the only challenge I have is figuring out which external option I should select to start. Since I have two USB sticks Clover shows: External |...

Wow. I've built 3 hacks and this has been the most difficult upgrade. I am trying to provide as much relevant info as possible. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Right now, I've built 2 USB sticks with UniBeast (UEFI option only) and I've configured the bios multiple times, but no stick...
