Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover

[asheenlevrai]

Does 'Recovery HD' still boot into Recovery after starting the update?

Edit: I expect it does. Can you boot into El Capitan after starting the update and post the output of

sudo nvram -p

Edit 2: You could try installing Clover from the installer package , selecting 'Install .rc scripts to target volume' and 'EmuVariable-UEFI-64.efi' in driver selection, reboot, then restart the update process.

I already installed r4045. Is it safe to "downgrade" like that?

Best,

Try old version macOS 10.12.2!

Unfortunately I didn't save older version of sierra install files

 

[asheenlevrai]

Mine worked perfectly when I used UniBeast 7.1. The previous version didn't work which is why people had the problem of not seeing an option to boot.

Unibeast is for fresh installs, right?
I want to upgrade from ElCap without having to reinstall/configure everything.

No need to downgrade, 4049 has been released.

It worked! You're the best!
(I used r4049)
Can you explain a little bit so that I learn something?

Have a great one!
Thanks again

Glad it is working. I'm guessing that the extra boot entry is passed to the bootloader in NVRAM with a target volume and a path to the installer disk image. After looking at the 2 pre-boot logs you provided i went into one in this post about it, although the problem was unrelated in that case.

There is also this commit in r4049 that may be reason it is working now.

nope. i didn't do a fresh install. just don't wipe your hard drive. it tells you that in the install instructions on here, you only follow step 6 a-h if you want to do a fresh install. if you don't want a fresh install but just update your OS, don't do step 6.
