Update Directly to macOS Catalina

[MNArnieB]

Thanks for the guide. The second time worked. I removed Fakesmc and Lilu and WhateverGreen from /L./E/.. and moved them to Clover/other/ and moved them back after it booted up.

Is normal that is taking forever?

In my case yes - my last update to Mojave took about 2 hours. For Catalina expecting the same.

In my opinion we must wait for new Whatevergreen and Lilu kexts. Maye be they fix the problem.

Update went without problems from the latest Mojave.

For anyone using an HDMI/DVI Output, learn from my mistakes....

Radeon RX560 4GB HDMI/DVI "No Signal" on monitor/tv display.

The install was actually 100% successful, it was headless though - meaning as soon as I got past the Apple loading screen on the "Install MacOs" (using the update method), it turned off my display "No signal".

There's actually regular mac / imac / mac mini users (I'm sure a few are legit?) that have put reports to Apple about the issue, but none of the recommendations from them have worked.

IMPORTANT: My Recovery ended up being overwritten by the automatic Catalina install process which lasted about 30 minutes, so HDMI didn't work in Recovery mode either.

I had to revert back to Mojave 10.14 using TIME MACHINE by booting into Mojave Install using USB and Time Machine System Recovery.

I have updated to the latest Clover, AppleACL, Wintergreen, Lilu, etc.

If anyone had this problem and knows how to fix the HDMI issue, please let me know. I'd prefer an actual solution because the restore process took 3 1/2 hours.

It happened something similar, after installing, when you should be seeing the login screen I got a black one. After several minutes, if I move the mouse I can see the arrow flying through the screen, but nothing else. Maybe it is related to yours and we have similar motherboards. Did you fix it?

Hi,
What is the reason to move them back to /L/E ?
Thanks!

Went smoothly, but no sound on motherboard (Z370p), have to re-install it

No i mean have to reinject the kext for the sound .... but not sure ALC8870 is up to date :s Re-install catalina wont fix anything One thing i learn the hardest part is to find the correct configuration in clover configurator for each udpate
