boot0 Error: The Official Guide

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've been using my build for over six months, and I've never had any serious problems until I suddenly got the boot0 error a couple days ago. I followed Solution 1, and that got rid of the error. However, I could not log in. The system would freeze either after entering my password or shortly after loading the desktop. I ended up restoring to my most recent Time Machine backup, but then I got the boot0 error again. Also, I don't have OS X on a large drive; it's on a 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD.

Can someone provide some help with this?

Just fixed this error with method 1! I had actually formatted my whole internal drive (long story;something to do with deleting EFI drive) so finally I restored my CCC backup and got it working with external USB Stick. Installed chimera to my restored drive, rebooted it. At that moment I saw this cold error screen, but I since I didn't want to make a Unibeast USB, I just simply booted into my CCC backup(external drive) and did the above first method by just unmounting the drives and opening terminal. I did however get a permission denied message, but used sudo in front of the command and got it working! Finally I just reinstalled chimera(I think) and did a reboot. VOILA!

Hope this helps anyone, who's in a similar s*** hole! ^^
Takecare!
 
I had this issue with a new Crucial SSD MX100 loaded up from my Time Machine backup. By following method 1 exactly I would end up with a "operation not supported" after terminal command.

I re-read the thread.
Resolved by modifying method 1 with info from two posts on page 3 of this thread. The problem seems to be that the code provided in the sticky did not accurately identify the disk I was trying to load Chimera from. For me I had to use the following command, where "UniUSB" is the name of the bootable USB I am copying Chimera from and "disk0s2" is the SSD disk I am loading Chimera to. Hope this helps someone.

dd if=/Volumes/UniUSB/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
 
Thanks a lot Macman. You saved my day. The first option worked like a charm!
 
Thanks i got mine to boot from hdd using the 1st solution
 
Ty!!! work to me. Now I have a Hackintosh wit Mac OS x 10.9.5 working 100%.
 
"dd: /usr/standalone/i386/boot1h: No such file or directory"

This is what i get after entering the command.

point is: in the i386 directory there's no boot1h file, just boot.efi

Type this into Terminal first

Code: 
 diskutil list

Verify your correct Volume if different to disk0s2 and try again changing 'disk0s2' to the correct one that you require for your installation.
