How do I update the EFI folder from this project? #46

Closed darioZIP closed 3 years ago

darioZIP commented 3 years ago

I see that recently some files over this project have been updated. How do I update my EFI files without screwing up my current config? After updating the files, do I have to somewhat update my config.plist?

Most likely you will need to replace the whole EFI file and re-do all the changes that you made to your config.plist

EETagent commented 3 years ago

1) Backup your old EFI 2) Replace it with newer version 3) Port SMBIOS, additional kexts, your other changes from the old config.plist to the new one

It will take you only few minutes

Okay so I am writing this for people that might have trouble finding SMBIOS information. SMBIOS stuff is located in config.plist at PlatformInfo->Generic If you have the nvidia MX150 do not forget to disable the GPU, by going to boot-args and adding "-wegnoegpu"

Also when migrating config.plist if you have followed the guide linked in this GitHub do not forget the en1 part, if you want iServices working properly.

I will write an additional comment once I am done updating my EFI partition.
