[solved] Can't boot in Big Sur with opencore / in clover is App Store not working (no app installation)

[Carsten]

[solved] My main installation seemed to be corrupt so opencore couldn't function. I did a complete reinstall with a new USB Stick and it worked like a charm. I'm now on Big Sure and everything works like before - including the Appstore

Note: I tried to boot with opencore a Portion on my main installation called "Mac OS Installed" and it seems that the upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur was broken. So opencore couldn't boot OS Portion.




Build: Asus Z390-F Gaming; i7 9700k, PowerColor Red Dragon Vega 56; Apple Wifi Card

I used a clover Build and installed Big Sur and expect the AppStore(no downloading or if downloaded no installation from apps) everything seems to work(iMessage, Sidecar, Facetime, iCloud, iGPU in headless mode etc).

Now I tried to convert my build to opencore(0.6.3) to solve the App Store problem and I can't get it boot. I installed opencore on a separate usb drive to test it first. When I try to boot my already existing Big Sur installation it loads the apple and then goes black and restarts. I tried to do a clean install with opencore on a separate drive and there it loads the Mac installer normally and hangs in the installation/copy process at 12min left.

Maybe I did something wrong with propertree? I checked yes:

Here is how it looks in Big Sur with clover and the Appstore (won't install):

Please boot in Verbose Mode and grab a video with your phone. What do you see right before the reboot?

boot-args=-v

Same issue with yours. Apps could be downloaded in Mac App Store, but no installation. The circle stopped on the 75%. And if open the launchpad, it showed all date is downloaded but stopped.(like 34.2M/34.2M)
No such issue in my 10.15.7.

These Screenshots don't show the error, the error comes a little bit before.

For example I get "No port micro restart (we don't support SMC on the platform)" and then it performs the reboot.

Same issue for me. I am still on Clover.

I can confirm, if you did the update from Catalina to Big Sur using Clover, there is an issue to move to OC.

Ah, so that would explain my issues, was that ever resolved?
