tanya Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 @Jorge1964 1) format a USB stick as FAT32. copy the EFI file on it 2) create a extra directory : "com.apple.recovery.boot" and copy the recovery files in it. (BaseSystem.chunklist & BaseSystem.dmg: too big to send with this post) 3) boot from it and have patience.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge1964 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I can not install Clover Bootloader Release v5.1 r5127, in Big Sur. Is there an alternative.? Tanya, I posted, but I didn't see your reply. One question about your help, when do i copy the Big Sur files to the Usb Disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 3, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 3, 2020 Tanya's guide is using OpenCore, not Clover. Clover has issue booting Big Sur. After creating the installer, mount the EFI partition and just replace the entire EFI folder with the attachment on the last page. Unless you have an Apple and Microsoft folder, then just replace the Boot and OC folder inside EFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 hello Jorge, You indeed need an internet connection if you, as I did, do the install from the Recovery Image. You need the files mentioned above: BaseSystem.chunklist & BaseSystem.dmg. You can download these with the program/script: gibMacOS ( https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS ) making a Hackintosh is not very easy: that's also why I said "have patience" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 4, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2020 @Jorge1964 Since you have a Mac already, you can download BS and create the installer from there using the createinstallmedia command. The download is about 12 GB so you'll need an USB that's around 16GB or more. Personally I use an external USB SSD. ie sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/BS where your USB drive is named "BS" Then you mount the EFI partition and add the EFI folder attached above. Just set your BIOS to UEFI enable/ AHCI enable / Secure Boot Disabled. The rest can be default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge1964 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have just created a Mac OS Big Sur bootable USB Now I'm trying to mount the EFI partition of my USB disk, but it does not appear on the OpenCore Configurator window.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 4, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2020 Make sure you format the USB drive with GUID / Journal Extended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
