EDITPlease forgive me as I am a first time poster and haven't had any issues since i first built my rig a couple years ago. I'm pretty rusty at this point if it isn't made glaringly clear from my obvious mistakes that you're about to hear about...
Ok, here it goes...
I tried to do the update to 10.13 from 10.12 via the app store. Admittedly, I should've made a fresh backup of unibeast or atleast tested my ssd backup before I installed Clover v4586, but I didn't.. so, yeah.... oops.. anyway, it got to the point where no other drives (not even unibeast from 10.12) would boot unless I unplugged my Samsung 850 evo that i just installed the new updated clover onto. When i did unplug it, I was able to boot from my unibeast USB into my recovery drive, but only in safe mode. I can't reconnect the original SSD boot drive now without losing my ability to load into an older Clover version. Went out and bought a new 860 evo ssd to try to copy my old MBR from the recovery drive.. still no luck.
Tried to fix my recovery bootloader and unibeast so that they would load without being in safe mode and guess what, now none of them are recognizable as boot devices.. and I don't have a second apple in the house to be able to make a new unibeast.
Really lost on what to do now and could really use some help/direction before I end up pulling out my hair.
here's a phone photo of what i'm seeing when after i select my new update in clover.
I just get the plus signs when I select my recovery drive. I also now see options in clover for "firevault prebooter..." and "macos installer prebooter..." which is new to me..
So, yeah.. HELP!!!!! please
I have no idea what to do now other than hope I accidentally fix it by randomly making changes.
EDIT: my phone/camera just broke while trying to get more photos/screenshots of my issues. bear with me...
Thanks in advance for your time and patience!
