[Guide] Xiaomi Mi Air 13.3 Skylake-U 2016 (1rst Gen)

[Feartech]

Hello Sakoula,

I found some mispelling in your guide setup: see my corrections shown in RED
Mount the EFI partition of the macOS boot parition on /Volumes/EFI:

1. move EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/* from macOS boot partition to /System/Library/Extensions/*
2. run from the console $ sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*
3. run from the console $ sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extentions/*
4. run from the console $ sudo kextcache -i / to rebuild the caches
5. move addons/LiluFriendLite.kext from the downloaded file to /Library/Extensions/LiluFriendLite.kext
6. run from the console $ sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*
7. run from the console $ sudo chmod -R755 /System/Library/Extentions/*
8. run from the console $ sudo kextcache -i / to rebuild the caches

remember that kextcache needs to be run twice

Do you have any idea how to correct Kext rejected due to improper filesystem permissions?

Regards

no, your 3rd party kexts get installed to /Library/Extensions not /System/Library/Extensions

easy way to install kexts via terminal, copy all kexts to a folder on desktop

cd <drag kext folder here>
sudo cp -R *.kext /Library/Extensions

reboot laptop, then in terminal:

 sudo kextcache -i /

Wahouh! Thank you so much FearTech! i tried /System/Library/Extensions since with Library/Extensions nothing worked, probably because of some mispelling...
In the meantime i ran Kext Utility for correcting the permissions and it went OK
Thank you again

when you use:

sudo cp -R *.kext /Library/Extensions

you don't need to mess around with other software to fix your issues

Thanks Feartech

Yes you are right about the spelling, thanks. If you are not sure about permissions the following commands are fixing manually the permissions.

```
1. **move** `EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/*` from macOS boot parition to `/Library/Extensions/*`
2. run from the console `$ sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/*`
3. run from the console `$ sudo chmod -r 755 /Library/Extensions/*`
4. run from the console `$ sudo kextcache -i /` to rebuild the caches
5. **move** `addons/LiluFriendLite.kext` from the downloaded file to `/Library/Extensions/LiluFriendLite.kext`
6. run from the console `$ sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/*`
7. run from the console `$ sudo chmod -r 755 /Library/Extensions/*`
8. run from the console `$ sudo kextcache -i /` to rebuild the caches

**remember** that `kextcache` needs to be run twice
```

Thanks

you should still keep a copy of essential kexts in clover/kexts/other for macOS updates etc

also your way of installing kexts seems a long way around

sudo cp -R *.kext /Library/Extensions

Do i have to move the kexts from system to library?

only delete the ones from /System/Library/Extensions that you have copied there (leave the macOS ones there!)

 

[bergui45]

OK Thank you
I tried sudo cp -R *.kext/Library/Extensions with NO SUCCESS...
*.kext?

 

[Feartech]

OK Thank you
I tried sudo cp -R *.kext/Library/Extensions with NO SUCCESS...
*.kext?

you are missing a space after *.kext

don't forget to create a folder with all your kexts you want to install on your desktop and in terminal:

cd <drag folder here>
sudo cp -R *.kext /Library/Extensions
