Another good way to solve the issue of not being able to boot after upgrading without having to create a Unibeast with after upgrading to .4 is:
1) Boot into the rescue image from Cloverleaf (should work find even after upgrade)
2) Open a terminal
3) Mount the EFI partition:
a) mkdir /Volumes/efi b) mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/efi
4) navigate to /Volumes/efi/CLOVER/
5) make a backup of our config.plist
a) cp config.plist config.plist.backup
6) edit config.plist to change CsrActiveConfig to 0x67
a) vi config.plist
If your not familiar with vi. "x" deletes a character "i" goes to insert mode - ESC takes you out of insert mode, ":wq" writes the files an quits
7) reboot - into normal partition and all is good!
THANK YOU!!!!
This worked great for me from Recover Mode. A few things different here:
The directory was /Volumes/efi/EFI/CLOVER/ (there's an extra /EFI/ subdirectory for some reason).
To edit, I used sed:
*) grep -n CsrActiveConfig config.plist
*) note the line number, in my case it was 254
*) tail +254 config.plist | head
*) You should see the offending "0x3" on the second line, so it's line 255 in the file
*) sed -i -e 255,255s/0x3/0x67/ config.plist
*) Repeat the 'tail' command above to verify the change.
*) cd /; umount /Volumes/efi; reboot
On reboot, the update install completed, and all is good. Thanks! This is the best solution, as it doesn't require any external tools.
