Hi there,
I've found the consequent mismatch using these 2 tools
- "macrecovery":https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore...guide/winblows-install.html#downloading-macos
- "gibMacOS-master":https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS
finding the consequent mismatch :
  • with "macrecovery.py" i've downloaded the "012-51692" BaseSystem.dmg version with the string "python ./macrecovery.py -b Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 -m 00000000000000000 download"
  • with "gibMacOS-master" i've got the following list of :
    • [macOS Monterey 12.6 (21G115) - 012-40494 - Added 2022-09-20 17:14:37 - 12.40 GB];
    • [macOS Monterey 12.5.1 (21G83) - 012-51693 - Added 2022-08-24 17:13:27 - 12.41 GB];

I think it's a mismatch but... how can i pair? Maybe i must use one of those commands with "macrecovery.py" like :
./macrecovery.py -b Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 -m 00000000000000000 -os latest
./macrecovery.py -b Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 -m <real MLB> -os latest

where <real MLB> is a somewhat number or string?

Other questions are, supposing the 2 version are matching :
  • in the most common Internet guides, i must have an USB stick with 2 partions : EFI_partition1 (usually 200 Mb) and OS_partition2 (X Gb)
  • in the Dortania guide is sufficient an only FAT32 partition with 2 folders like "com.apple.recovery.boot -> BaseSystem.dmg, EFI -> BOOT, OC -> ...."

  • i've got my files "BaseSystem.dmg" then i must create a folder in the root of the USB stick called "com.apple.recovery.boot" but... in which partion? Maybe i've to resize the EFI_partition1 of more than 200 Mb or maybe i must have only one partitioin like Rufus method do?
  • I've got my files downloaded with "gibMacOS-master" which are "InstallAssistant.pkg, UpdateBrain.zip, BuildManifest.plist, Info.plist, InstallInfo.plist, MajorOSInfo.pkg" and restoring disk with the image "InstallAssistant.pkg" with Transmac it transfer in the OS_partition2 (X Gb) the folders "Shared support -> com_apple_MobileAsset_MACSoftwareUpdate, SFR -> ...." but i cannot assign any letter to the EFI partition so it results unmountable with diskpart or disk managment methods like "Errore del servizio Dischi virtuali: Operazione non supportata su un supporto rimovibile".
How can i merge these files?
It is sufficient the "BaseSystem.dmg" file downloaded with macrecovery python' script OR i need the macOS Monterey files downloaded with gibMacOS-master which are "InstallAssistant.pkg, UpdateBrain.zip, BuildManifest.plist, Info.plist, InstallInfo.plist, MajorOSInfo.pkg" too?

Thanks.
 
Added same thread in "Monterrey Laptop support". Sorry for the inconvenience.
