Could you pls. generate a link that downloads the installer without Yandex membership?Let's try this image to "clean" install
It contains patched by USB fix1 and fix2 installer, and BigMac's Folder , for performing postinstall after installation complited.
And you should be shut down Mac, and remove USB stick after postinstall patching.
I have a MBP 15" early 2011 and while I agree about the high temperature, the performances of BS installed on a 1Tb SSD are excellent. I suggest to install a fan control app (i.e. MacFan) and set the fan speed in manual. it has been noted several times that BS doesn't control correctly the fans in our unsupported machines.
BTW, I have planned to also try BS on my MBP 15" early 2011 (dedicated, defunct gpu disabled in software on mine), what do you feel about it for daily usage without graphics acceleration? Is it using 'FrameBuffer' (have read that term mentioned in similar contexts) or something like that on that machine?
I installed BS using Barryk's micropatcher adding the jakeluke's corebrightness framework to get nightshift working. Of course the AMD Radeon MUST be disable otherwise the performace is literally awful. Using the dark mode minimizes the darkish effect in finder and safari and let the system usable. You can use as daily driver if some apps not working (like Maps and Zoom, and generally all the apps that require a Metal card) are not a showstopper for you.
You have the same HD3000 than mine that apart the darkish effect works fine with the Barryk's kexts. I'm writing from my MBP with dark theme and it's OK. Current temp is 76C with fans running at ˜3600 rpm.
Hi @Ausdauersportler,
try fresh install and migrate your data from backup, Follow this very detailed simple steps from post 6,011 (justperry).

That may work , but it is less prone to problems to just backup any docs ,pics and data to an external drive or USB drive and then just do a normal update and not mess with time machine or OS backup , you need to backup your data anyway because if your drive ever fails then you have your stuff saved already and not lose anything ....even if computer is missing 😊try fresh install and migrate your data from backup, Follow this very detailed simple steps from post 6,011 (justperry).
macOS 11 Big Sur on Unsupported Macs Thread
Now the longer version (This version has been updated a few times to reflect changes) This is for a 2012 Mac Mini and almost sure for the MBP from the same year, others, especially earlier macs need extra steps, for that read the manual on micropatcher page. 1. Have a USB stick handy, or an...
Would you like to share the more of your hardware details?
boot-args set to "-no_compat_check -amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1" which is not done by default. So experimental...
Thanks, good to know! I’ll try that very soon, will also experiment with external GPU (Radeon RX580, via TB) then. Perhaps before this, I will setup the system with the external Radeon on the last supported macOS (High Sierra) for this MacBookPro8,2 to see if the parts are all working as expected, before taking the plunge into Big Sur-territory.
I fully aware about the experimental nature of your fork and it's exactly for this reason that I tried that. Maybe you are not aware that my MBP 8,2 IS a Sandy Bridge based CPU and for your knowledge I already modified the micropatcher 0.4.4 to add the nightshift patch, getting it to work properly.
Similar to (but not the same as) mine.
At least the dictionary errors could give a hint why the H.264 iGPU is no longer working with Big Sur. There is more missing than just the code within the framework from High Sierra....
As I wrote before. Just create an USB installer as described on the micro patcher site and do a new installation and new patching. You have to leave the mouse moving area for this....
