No Help, MadMac. It would have been helpfull, if you have a backup (and read the experiences of others).We all have to wait antil RehabMan is ready with a patch for 10.12.1
RehabMan,
Updated to 10.12.1 using the above procedure. The update installs a IONVMeFamily.kext, so I had to boot into my backup (HINT, HINT. Time Machine/Capsule won't do it; need a bootable backup) to remove the kext from /S/L/E/. Then, reboot to the Samesung 950 to finish the installation.
Good advise. I probably should have booted with the 10.12.0 UniBeast created USB installation thumb drive and gone the installer/Terminal route. My 10.12.0 installer thumb drive does have the KextsToPatch modified with your 10.12.0 plist contents, which works very well not only on my Gene build but on all the rest of my systems regardless if they have a NVMe SSD or not. So, one size fits all.You could also boot into a USB installer (with KextsToPatch) and remove from Terminal within the installer.
But yes, booting into a backup partition (or a recovery partition that wasn't update) also works.
Lot's of ways to accomplish.
You could also boot directly into 10.12.1 if you had updated patches for 10.12.1 that you could place in your KextsToPatch. I haven't checked if Pike updated the patches yet on his blog.
