Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to all this and I've been fighting this issue for a week now and I can't seem to find any solution. I was running my Catalina build until it completely froze and had to do a force restart. I have Clover bootloader but I believe my SSD used opencore to boot. From the moment I had to force start, the computer started going straight to the BIOS and never boot up again. So I created a USB install of Big Sur to try to upgrade and fix this issue. I've successfully created the usb bootloaded and it boots just fine. But when I try to install Big Sur I get "Permission Denied" and after checking DiskUtil, the os drive where Catalina lives is in READ ONLY mode. There's no way that I've found to make it writable. I tried some guides out there (Dortania at length) and I can't make it work. I am right now booting with opencore 0.6.8 and Ive tried 0.7.8 as well. No luck with either. The drive where the OS is shows as read only (Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB). I even tried to delete the APFS partition and start fresh, but it just won't allow me to even do that.
Anyone has any idea what could it be? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've attached the config.plist I use to boot with opencore 0.6.8 and also a screenshot of my EFI folder.
