11.2.1 working? #200

Anyone can confirm if 11.2.1 works? I have a 13" Mid-2012 MBP, 11.0.1 was working, but not 11.2.1

Yes

Yes

You are right. What happened on my. this MBP 2012 couldn't boot up from any system disk from other machines, neither 10.15.x nor Big sur 11.x, installing from micropatched BS installation USB disk, the first reboot was Ok, but it shuts down later and won't boot up.

What I had to do:

  1. install 10.x on the internal SSD first
  2. make the BS installation USB disk within the bootable macOS on this MBP
  3. upgrade on top of it to 11.2.1, then it starts to work.

One issue is Wi-Fi, it won't recongnize the built-in Wi-Fi card even 10.15.x has no issue with it. Update Wi-Fi issue: follow the step 15 to fix.

All GOOD! THANK YOU, BenSova!
