<< Solved >> EFI Copied from USB to SSD - Still no SSD in Clover

[rocco_77]

I've marked this thread solved; howeve, if anyone has insight as to why simply removing the USB Mojave installer allowed my system to boot with the SSD?

The only thing I can hypothesize with my limited knowledge is perhaps a UUID conflict. Perhaps when the USB was inserted when trying to boot directly through SSD by switching boot disk to SSD in BIOS, the USB and SSD were assigned the same UUiD causing Clover to confuse the EFI partitions on the USB and SSD therefore not scanning the SSD properly during entry scan in clover boot screen? Resulting in no boot disks showing in clover boot screen.

The only reason I'm thinking this is when I would hit f12 during post to switch boot disk, when choosing Hard Disk option, a second menu comes up asking me to choose between the Samsung 860 EVO and USB HDD.

Would love to hear some comments about this as a learning experience. Thank you.

Hi rocco_77,

The problem you were facing sounds kinda similar to what I'm having at the moment.

I recently installed High Sierra, installed Clover to SSD, copied EFI folder. It would boot up fine from USB, but when trying to boot Clover from the SSD there were no drives shown and the resolution was wrong. But here's the strange thing...if I select exit Clover, it would exit and then boot Clover again all fine, resolution set correctly, drives showing up fine, and then selecting the drive boots up macOS as normal. For some very strange reason there seems to be 2 Clover bootloaders, and I can't figure out how to fix it. I also noticed when I go to the about section, both of them have different versions, 2.10, and 2.80.

I'm just wondering if you ever tried exiting Clover? Anybody know of a fix for this? It's really annoying and I gave up for a little while because I just couldn't figure it out. Using a legacy Z68XP-UD3P board.

It's possible that you miss a file when building your USB installer.
macOS X Mojave uses Apple File System (APFS), if the .efi driver is not there, the bootlaoder won't detect your SSD.

With High Sierra I believe you still had the option to format your SSD as HFS+. Did you do that, or did you format APFS? I thought the APFS format was giving me trouble and the solution for many users was to replace the APFS.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers/BIOS with APFSDriverLoader.efi (the newer version it seems). This did not work for me as the ApfsDriverLoader.efi file was already there.

I'm actually still not sure why my system is now working properly. I can shut down, restart, etc., and when I get to Clover boot screen, all drives show up as they should. ??

Your discovery or 2 Clover bootloaders is interesting.... Can you tell me specifically what directory you saw this in? Did you have 2 CLOVER folders in your EFI partition? Wouldn't mind seeing a screen shot of what you describe.

If you indeed have two bootloaders in your EFI partition, you could try using your current method to boot (exiting Clover and letting it reload)... Then use Clover Configurator to mount your SSD's EFI partition, completely delete your EFI folder and then use Clover Configurator to reinstall a clean EFI/CLOVER package.

Word of caution though... You must make a back up copy of your config.plist file, any .efi files you have in your EFI/CLOVER/drivers/BIOS folder and any .kext files you have in your EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder. Copy all those files to the desktop, then move your entire EFI folder to the trash, empty the trash and then use Clover Configurator to reinstall a clean Clover... then delete the generic config.plist file installed with the fresh Clover install and move your back up files to the appropriate folders.

Thanks for replying.

I didn't format as HFS+, left it as default so it is APFS. I do have APFSDriverLoader.efi.

Yea it's weird. I'm not exactly seeing 2 EFI partitions or folders, I only see the one. The partition itself looks all fine to me, I don't see any duplicates. It's just when I'm booting up the first one seems messed up, exit out of that, then boot up into a working one. But as I say, if I boot from USB I don't get this strange issue.

USB and SSD had same version of Clover installed (up until today where I updated the Clover on SSD). And there were no previous installations either, this was a brand new drive.

Does deleting the EFI folder completely get rid of Clover? I will try your suggestion at some point, unless there are any other ideas? If I remember right, I think both of them generated different preboot logs, I'll attach these soon.

Just uploaded my logs, preboot-0 was generating in the not working Clover, and preboot-1 with working Clover.

I haven't really looked into this in detail before, just noticed they were different. But after comparing them now there's quite a few things that stick out.

In preboot-0 Clover is starting on TianoCore EFI with path /EFI/BOOT, while preboot-1 says starting on Clover EFI with path /EFI/CLOVER.

Also in the LoadDrivers section, in preboot-0 it is loading EmuVariableUefi.efi which is in EFI/Clover/drivers/UEFI, it is not loading the drivers from the BIOS folder, while in preboot-1 it is the opposite! By the way, EmuVariableUefi.efi shouldn't even be there and I shouldn't even have a UEFI folder because I did a legacy install, I added it a little while ago after reading some posts thinking it might help, so I'll remove this. But isn't it strange that it is loading drivers from the UEFI folder?

This might be obvious to someone, any insight would be great!

Ok... Your preboot logs are telling the story it would seem.... I'm not sure where Tianocore.org is on your system, but it appears to be an implementation of Intel's EFI (UEFI) implementation.

Do you have another SSD or HDD on your system that has this installed on it?

How did you install the OS on your new SSD? Did you use Unibeast to create the USB?

When you formatted the SSD, I assume you set the partition table to GUID otherwise you would not have an EFI partition... I believe.

It appears you must have another EFI partition somewhere on your system for it to be loading that other path first. When you exit Clover it might just be picking up the one you want? I'm not sure actually about this.

Did you happen to flash your BIOS on your motherboard to UE1? If so, then your BIOS is now UEFI which is why clover would load drivers from the UEFI folder. If not, then when Clover installs I THINK it puts a few generic or common .efi drivers in both folders depending on the Clover package you used.

When you start your computer... during post, have you tried hitting F12 and manually selecting a boot drive?

The only thing I can think is that there is another EFI partition on your SSD, or you have another SSD or HDD in your system that has an EFI with Clover that has the Tianocore path. (which I've not heard of until you posted this) ... I actually just browsed Tianocore.org to see what it was.

It's possible that you miss a file when building your USB installer.
macOS X Mojave uses Apple File System (APFS), if the .efi driver is not there, the bootlaoder won't detect your SSD.

Thank you, but yes I actually made sure I had that driver in the correct place... I use a legacy BIOS, so that driver is in EFI/CLOVER/drivers/BIOS in my system.

Nope, all other SSD/HDDs were disconnected when I installed, and they are also disconnected whenever I'm booting up on this High Sierra drive (until I figure out how to fix the problem). I didn't use Unibeast, I did a vanilla installation using createinstallmedia and manually installed Clover to the USB. And yes, partition table was set to GUID.

No I didn't upgrade to the beta UEFI (U1G for my board), I heard of people having some issues so I've been avoiding it and stuck to legacy BIOS. Regarding Clover, do you mean both folders as in BIOS and UEFI? If so, then these .efi files should be visible right? I didn't see anything added except the drivers I selected in Clover and the kexts I copied over.

Yes I have tried manually selecting boot drive via F12, it only comes up with a single drive (as others have been disconnected).

I've done a bit of digging around after reading your post, and we might be onto something...

My motherboard features something called 'Hybrid EFI', which I was aware of but had no idea what it was, I didn't really care about it. But because you mentioned there could be another EFI partition somewhere, it got me thinking about this 'Hybrid EFI' thing. Did some digging around and came across this site where he says:

Briefly, Hybrid EFI is a UEFI based on the open source TianoCore reference implementation. This implementation is also at the heart of UEFI DUET, which enables you to boot using EFI methods on BIOS-based computers. In fact, conceptually, Hybrid EFI is similar to using UEFI DUET, except that the EFI code is built into the firmware: Underneath the UEFI layer, Hybrid EFI uses an old-style BIOS—specifically, an Award BIOS version 6.00PG, at least in the case of the GA-78LMT-S2P I bought. Once an OS (or even a boot loader) has booted, the underlying BIOS becomes fairly unimportant. Contrary to the implication of many forum posts I found, Hybrid EFI is much more than just a way to get Windows to boot from a disk that's over 2TiB in size. To boot on such a disk, Windows needs to have a full EFI implementation, and Hybrid EFI delivers that. It also enables booting Linux or other OSes in EFI mode.

Also, this site which was referenced in the previous:

First things first: this is not an EFI BIOS (although, technically, EFI is more of a replacement for the BIOS than a specific kind of BIOS). Gigabyte’s 6-series motherboards still use an old-school Award BIOS. However, they incorporate an EFI bootloader to enable support for hard drives larger than 2.2TB.

Looks like I have a built in EFI bootloader which might be causing this problem! I think I should probably reinstall Clover but in UEFI mode this time. Strange nobody has noticed this for our Gigabyte 6 series motherboards, I'm guessing most have probably flashed the UEFI BIOS.

I don't think you need to reinstall Clover... Now that you posted those excerpts you found, it may just be a BIOS setting that is causing the Tianocore bootloader to load FIRST when you start up your computer or restart. If the EFI truly is in the firmware this would make sense as when you start up your computer, the bootloader in the firmware is being loaded during "post." Then when you exit clover and restart it, it's hitting your EFI folder on your SSD. This is speculation mind you, but it seems logical.

I have a 6-series motherboard and I have Award BIOS (Legacy) version F10.

Couple things:

1. Can you post screen shots of your BIOS settings?

2. Also, I would like to see your EFI folder from your EFI partition.... Make a copy of it to your desktop, then go into the copy you made and delete the folder EFI/CLOVER/Themes (this will cut down file size)... then ZIP the copied folder and upload it in your next post.
