Hello,
I'm having trouble installing the 2021-007 update on my 15" mid 2009 macbook pro 5,3.
I've followed the guide as close as possible and have had no luck after several attempts. I upgraded my MacBook using catalina patcher yesterday with no issues. It's sitting on build 19H2.
This is the process I've done with CatalinaOTAswufix:
Deleted all files in Updates folder.
Clicked Software Update fix
Software update then shows 2021-008 beta as available.
Click "details" and then "restore defaults"
Update then shows 2021-007 as available
Start the download for 2021-007
Click OTA update fix early in download process, about 60MB downloaded.
Macbook then downloads the update, and asks to restart.
On restart, I get to the loading screen with the Apple logo, and the progress bar says 10 min remaining. I assume this is the update installing.
Once this finishes, the MacBook restarts. I let it restart into the OS.
Login, click OTA update fix again.
Open software update
Click OTA update fix one more time.
Click install for the 2021-007 update again.
At the point the macbook restarts
It goes to the same loading screen with the Apple logo and 10 minutes remaining. However, after it finishes thus, instead of rebooting so I can run catalina patcher, it immediately goes to the login screen.
Once I login I'm still on 19H2.
I feel like I'm missing a step or doing a step wrong.
Anyone that can offer help?
Editing to add that OTAswufix is located on my desktop and returns no error messages when I click the buttons. It appears to be working correctly.
Thanks.
