Hey Y'all.
I'm having an issue. Recently, I tried upgrading to Mojavi from a working Sierra install and it didn't work out...but that's not the problem. Okay, I decided to erase my SSD drive and do a clean install of El Capitan (it was oddly the only thumb drive that worked). Everything is working great...however, I would like to update back to Sierra or possibly High Sierra, but my system definition is showing Mac Pro (Early 2008) and not my selected definition of iMac 14.2.
I have mounted my EFI...used clover configurator...used MultiBeast...tried editing my com.apple.SystemProfiler.plist using TextWrangler...Not sure what else to do.
The Mac Pro profile was from my first build with this system, years ago. But after the move to clover, and newer OSX versions, I shifted to the iMac definition. So after erasing my drive, it seems to be referencing an old EFI or SystemProfile.plist. I can't seem to figure this one out, nor am I finding much online like this. And oddly, looking at my SystemProfiler.plist...it has both the Mac Pro AND the iMac listed as definitions. I tried editing this .plist following instructions online, but no success.
Trust me, normally I just search the forums and find the answers I need...but I am at a loss. Does anyone know how I can remove the old system definition so I can update my operating system?
