I tried to make an account in LiveCode, but when I was setting my password, it would just loop back to the same screen and I could never create an account. Therefore, I can't download the community edition. Any tips? I tried on many devices.
Got a tip for us?

Tried your method booting from a Mojave system backup partition. Same, no Big Sur updates have been offered, "Software Update" reported that my cMP 5.1 has the latest release installed.
@Ausdauersportler
With your linked installer sources and Barrys instructions the installation worked like a charm.
Thanks all for your helpful contributions ?.

Hi all,
I installed PB1 on MBP mid-2012 when it came out (and followed this forum), and all was working fine that I could see.
Just upgraded to macOS Big Sur 11 beta 5 (20A5354i), Wifi not working at first reboot.
Restarted on USB and reran the kext Patcher and now it is working again (posting from it actually )
TimeMachine is also working fine.
Anything else I can test ?
All biggest thanks to all for the amazing work.

Thanks I'm having a similar issue trying to install beta 5. I didn't erase the USB drive this time I just used createinstallmedia which I thought would erase it completely. Booted up with the installer ran Barry's micropatcher 0.1.0 and during the installer it failed saying the installer was damaged. Luckily Big Sur beta 4 still runs fine. Maybe some remnants of the previous patched installer corrupted things. I'll try erasing the drive properly this time.
It worked! Late 2013 iMac updated to Beta 5. No problems with Airdrop etc.
Here's the method I use >https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-11-big-sur-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2242172/post-28735799 #2,707

@Barry K. Nathan Hi dear! Since most people uses patcher 0.0.19 as workaround to install beta 5 on various machines having issues with wifi and airdrop , could you please directly update the patcher to automatically apply fixes?

restart on USB on reapply the kext patch ... I had similar issue and reapplying fix it.
For the record I used 0.0.20-v0.1.0 patcher and after first reboot, I had no wifi. I restarted on USB and reapplying the kext fixed the wifi for me.
Airdrop seems to be an issue on the official Beta 5 if I read it correctly.
Airdrop is working for me on Beta 5 using 0.0.19 kext patcher (macbook pro retina early 2013).
The Big Sur Beta update is showing on my cMP mid 2012 5,1 during updating the Catalina 10.15.6.
The Big Sur Beta (20A5354i) 12.13 GB.

Were you able to install it without any problems? Thank you.
I don't have any problem to update at all with Barry micropatcher v 0.0.20 on my cMP. See my post #3426 of my cMP hardware listed.
Great! I have nearly the same cMP5,1 configuration as yours. I'll be looking into it. For me in the future after Big Sur, I'll be looking for a supported Mac.
Barrykn's on vacation still, I'm pretty sure, and he mentioned that he won't be updating his patcher while on vacation
Thanks man, worked like a charm! Will familiarize myself with the language tomorrow if I don't lose power. There is a really bad storm with multiple tornadoes that is ripping through my state. Seems like the worst is over for my town though. (Don't worry, it's not Hurricane Laura
)
Hey everyone! Hope all is good. Anyone that has a Mac Pro 4,1 or 5,1 and on macOS Big Sur beta 5, Do your brightness controls work? Im using an RX 580 8 GB. Thanks!!
Hey everyone! I wannna update my BigSur beta ,but here's my problem on updating
@Arashi_0310
It looks like you are on an unsupported mac running BSur Beta1 ... if so, search this thread of the forum for "InstallAssistant.pkg" of whichever beta you want. Search also for BarryKN's latest patcher tool and follow his instructions for preparing the installer usb stick.
Also, check this link
... and read especially the section entitled: Installer and Update -- known issues.

Installing beta 6 on MacMini late 2012. Successfully created the USB installer, applied micropatch, rebooted tomUSB, ran the boot-args script as in instructions. When I try installing the beta, I get “installation of MacOS could not continue. Installation requires downloading important content. That content can not be downloaded at this time. Try again later“.
Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Heads up: nvram command in Beta 5 refuses to set boot-args!
This is why set-vars.sh errors and the Mac refuses to boot in the middle of the install. Apple tweaked the nvram command to silently fail when trying to set boot-args. I wiped my NVRAM and tested it. If you have it set from a previous beta you’ll be ok, but if you lose it you can’t fix it from Beta 5!
The workaround is to use any other bootable install USB to get to Terminal and type
nvram boot-args=-no_compat_check
Reboot
