Hi, is there a way to install the night shift patch without the usb installer?
I've installed OC to an internal drive partition and Windows 10 to another one.
Thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

It starts internet recovery...
Edit: Nevemind, downloaded it off of github and put it on a USB stick, and it gave me this error:

If you can read shell scripts (mainly patch-kext.sh) you may fetch the logic and the files from the installer.
Otherwise you have no other choice than creating and patching a Big Sur USB installer, booting into your Big Sur, deinstalling all patches by using
patch-kext.sh -u, reboot into Big Sur and run the very same script with patch-kext.sh --ns and reboot another time to enjoy Night Shift.Follow the online guide how to call the patch-kext.sh from the USB installer from a terminal within Big Sur.

2011 iMac Graphics Card Upgrade
You may also want to run GeekBench and/or AHT on it, to see if you missed connecting a thermal sensor. I currently have a machine with a bad skin sensor (waiting for a replacement off eBay). It causes the CPU to throttle, resulting in a noticeable sluggishness. Geekbench is nearly 1/2 of what...

Mine had a "TS2p" fault, for the skin sensor located near the camera. I also had poor Geekbench results, but once replaced was fine. Apple's trouble shooting guide should provide a lookup for your code of "TS0p".
Is your optical drive fan working/plugged in?

Possibly the WhateverGreen+Lilu combo addresses the same color issue. I do not have the time to investigate this but it would be nice if there is someone out to read the docs on GitHub and check this out and post back.
The problem came up to the public with the Nvidia cards in the very same moment when @nikey22 published the first OpenCore free BIOS - before we had only the few cards needing OC with enabled WhateverGreen+Lilu
Yes, it starts out loudly with the computer

Googling "TS0p" and "iMac 2011" leads one to believe that the lower right fan failing could be your issue, but do check Apple's guide to see if that matches the interweb's advice (it is often wrong), or if you have a spare iMac swap that fan and retest. If it is noisy I would probably replace it just because. Again, good luck.
Okay, thanks a lot! I hope that it'll fix the problem.
Edit: Also, I read on this post that the fan would be running at full speed because of the unknown gpu, could this be the cause of slow performance and non working Target Display Mode?

99% = he forgot to connect a sensor or changed the hard-drive.
And he could found out all this himself by reading the Technician Guide ...
I attached a screenshot in a previous reply with the sensors seen by the MacFanControl app and asked if there's a sensor missing, I've checked all the connectors on the main board and it all seems to be fine, also, I've added an SSD on the second sata port, although without the sensor, but I tested the valley performance even before installing the ssd and had the same problem on High Sierra with the same Open Core, K1100M setup
i think this macs DEAD!
what am hear here, just - bootloader, hackintosh, not worked, flash, not flash, opencore, closecore, k2100, k3100,
drill heatsink, its not worked,
help, just tell how its work,
how many post will be posted before this all is dead for this machine?
who need hour at hours modding dead rip device?
this machine only can be true mac if they support native all things, were its support like other macs in real time.
what we are done here? adding old cards for this macs nvidia 2013-2014 years?
really in 2020?
when Apple doing their "M"
so what we can put in old device? littlebit newer old device? am laughting sometime when i read message
ever day when i going here.
so what next? when last post will be 1000?

Maybe Million petition for Apple, from us save much more time?
is it democratic to ask and demand what is needed?
Why we all loose, and not saving our machine from deadly fart from Apple Team?
They took our MACS!
They took our CARDS!
Really! They can support A1312 for 5-7 years. EASY!
They can sale newer graphics card for this A1312 and let supported OSX Mojave Catalina
JUST 5-7 years. And RIP it calm!

First time I agree with you! But this thread started 2013 and 2019 the first real working BIOS versions have been published. Possibly too late, but a lot of machines can be saved from the trash can by putting in a new GPU. Not all people world wide will be willing to spend another 1000+ Euro/USD into a new Apple (M1) toy.
Frankly speaking the best GPU type worth installing in these iMacs as of today is the much more recent AMD Polaris/Ellesmere generation. No heat sink mods, (just opencore), high performance, no issues with apps on Big Sur, supported by Apple for at least 5 more years (used in iMacPro1,1) and even in later models.
Spending more than 200 Euro into an used Nvidia GPU is "insane" - citing a famous contributor here.

louis rossmann - you fired. pack ur things. and get riding to home.
i like then he roll through bridge from home at his work.
I found the answer by scrolling through the links. I would NOT want to deprive you of the same joy.
Cheers!
OpenCore 0.6.4 (and Big Sur)
Recently I added an 0.6.4 EFI folder to the OpenCore post. All (potential) users of Big Sur should upgrade immediately to this version. Especially the owners of AMD cards should do this!
Thanks to @Pascal Baillargeau for configuration and @KennyW for testing. Please check out all combinations of cards and machines and config files and report back! I will not test High Sierra any longer with new versions of OpenCore.
Notes:
If you are using High Sierra with an AMD GPU on an iMac 2011 you need to install the iMacPro1,1 version of the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext, too. Otherwise your system will not be able to sleep and panic on wake!
If you want to dig deeper into OpenCore please read the online docs linked to the #1 post. This will not and cannot become another OpenCore thread. It is just another utility to make this GPU exchange possible.

I completely agree, AMD graphic cards is the best choice to make for future. H264, HEVC enc/dec in Big Sur is a must have. NVIDIA cards will never have HEVC enc/dec and for the moment not even H264 enc/dec, in Big Sur. You have to live with Opencore, sure, but, well, you finish to forget it.
i have disassembled the imac numerous time and run diagnostics. i found out my hdd fan was blocked by dust and cleaned it. i thought that was it, but it was not
i am still stuck on p5 and sometimes it powers down to p8using nvidia inspector i managed to overclock the p5 state and run it at p0 clocks with immediate result in benchmark. although this does not work in OSX of course as all settings are reset with a reboot.
i have even re-installed my original i5 2500s to make sure the psu has enough power for the card, but still no cigar
so i basically followed all your troubleshooting except with vbios tweaking with the kepler tweaker as i have never done anything like that before and tutorials are a bit too technical for me.
although i have a few questions:
did you flash the vbios from windows 10? i only did it through the linux boot disk posted in this thread.
also do you remember which switches/options did you use with nvflash? i only used the -6 switch with nvlash as it is not really clear to me what the other ones do (for example -f -4 -5)
did you uninstall the drivers or disabled the card in device manager before using nvflash?
@nikey22 do you have any suggestions about reflashing?
Hi,
First off, I need to say thanks for giving me the impetus to complete the upgrade. I did my CPU whilst I had the mac opened up, and all good.
Now, my GTX880M is registered by my 2010 iMac, but I have the black screen at boot, and no audio or backlight. I did pre-install windows and the nvidia drivers in Win10, but this hasnt fixed the issue in HighSierra. I can boot either OS.
My issue is that I cannot install this package as I cant get into recovery mode to disable SIP due to black screen. Do I need to set up target mode and use another mac for the display to achieve this, or am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mark.
