No wonder Dortania OC guide starts with those Wise words "
[CRUCIAL] Time and patience."
Hope I made a better OC Catalina USB installer(latest OC, SSDTTime-> so i have separate SSDT_EC & SSDT_USBX) for my setup now. I can start install catalina every single time but problem starts after first reboot. so this is
Booted from OC Installer USB--> Started Catalina Installation-->Chose my Sierra SSD--> progress 5min --> 1st Reboot
Booted from OC USB --> choose EFI --> "OCB start image failed unsupported" baaam!!
Reason I believer:
@Feartech your message "sounds like a bad idea" came a bit late. Dumb me, by then replaced the SSD EFI folder over Terminal with a another users Z170i EFI setup and I might have bricked something there. Maybe OC version of the OSX EFI not kompatible with OC USB? anyways
So went to Terminal & copied my new OC USB Installer EFI folder to OSX EFI. Rebooted -> started installation ->1st reboot-> Result on choosing EFI at OC picker was a Black Screen.
So went again to Terminal & replaced OSX EFI with old working CLOVER EFI. Same procedure & now on choosing EFI at OC picker lands me on a Clover screen but I have only "Install Catalina" & "Windows" boot options. Not my SSD to continue my Installation.
If i choose "Install Catalina" I believe i wil be simply looping this whole procedure again and again.
Thanks for any suggestions here
