HackinDROM App for OpenCore EFI Creation and Update

[MacArthur]

1st I would recommend to enable Verbose (Cmd V) before boot to have a better understanding of the problem.
2nd are you sure you selected the correct specs of your MB and have a compatible GC? HackinDROM is know to build up proper EFIs, based on validation before being included on the server, of successful build up from users.

I'm getting ready to update from Macos 12.6 to 13.5 and used HackinDROM to update from OC 0.8.3 to 0.9.3
I got these scary errors with lots of exclamation points. Please advise.

That’s not scary!, take a deep breath… and relax. Just open your config.plist and do what it says.

Hey thanks. Sorry I panicked. It all turned out fine. I mounted the EFI and opened the config.plist with OC Configurator like you said and it was as easy as unticking some checkmarks. Reran Hackindrom and got a clean bill of health. Cheers!

Hi I tried the latest version v2.1.8 but my mainboard (Asus Z490-P) is not in a drop list. Should I proceed with EFI creation?

This is like the best kept secret huh? I was just searching and looking around for best way to update my OC and get my TB3 hot plug working on designare z390. This is like a GodSend. So easy and automated. I sure appreciate all you people involved for all the massive work it took to make this Gem. Also, I did post a Tutorial how to change you container bios to any previous one if it helps anyone. I have used it many times and it works great...

Thank you for you kind words.
This wasn't an easy task to make this possible especially at OpenCore's early stages!
Feel free to share the link of your tutorial!

Thank You! I know this was not an easy project at all. I am so thankful as I am sure many others are.
Here is a link, change your container bios to any you wish:
Anyone that wants to confim method, I would appreciate much!

Because the sluggishness is becoming painful on my machine, I will embark on doing a clean install. I'll take this opportunity to also upgrade my SSD drive to something with more storage and better (2TB or more). I currently have a Samsung Evo 970 500Gb. From reading the thread here, it seems...

I cant even imagine the hours and Effort put in on this. Seriously impressed. Never imagined a tool so fantastic and easy. One of the very best things I've ever seen added to the hackintosh scene. A plaque in the entryway would be well warranted. This is way to descreet for how amazing the tool is. I am sure Apple is not a fan

As I recall, @Inqnuam was fairly new to computer programming when he took on this challenge. He learned and implemented this app using the Swift language.
