Don't try both. Only one is correct and often people make mistakes when trying wrong things by mistkenly copying to what they think is the correct trial.

So, only try the correct one and post the error that you get.

Still no news about the macOS Big Sur 11.1 Release Candidate (20C69) full installer package? Nobody found it yet?
Some think the final candidate release date will be Monday, Dec 14, 2020 to coincide with the release of Fitness+ which requires BS 11.1. Others have predicted that Apple is moving away from installassistant.pkg favoring OTA updates, so we'll just need to wait ... and enjoy 11.0.1!
 
I have bootable EL CAPITAN BUT I WAS NOT TRY TERMINAL FOR DISABLE SIP.

Just a few tidbits

1. Do not use all Caps in your posts, it annoys people.
2. Instead of making a (Relatively) bad photo of your screen, use *screencapture.
3. Stop calling Users "Bro" in your posts

*How to use screen capture:
Hold CMD+Shift+3 for whole screen capture.
Hold CMD+Shift+4 for capturing selection.
 
Some notes about my USBopencore 4.2 spoofing version, if after beta 6 installation you patched some kext (typically the Wifi and Sound) that means these kernelcollections changed compared to a "sealed system apple stock":

BootKernelExtensions.kc (easily recoverable), SystemKernelExtensions.kc (size 500 MB or more, not easily recoverable, but more easier if you have an unsealed system or a working "sudo mount -uw /") and AuxiliaryKernelExtensions.kc (that are kext installed on /Library/Extensions/ not useful for Wifi or Audio patches).

Probably some mismatched kernelcollection is recoverable from a BigSur recovery through: kmutil invoke-panic-medic or kmutil trigger-panic-medic --volume-root /Volumes/<YourVolumeName>

Anyway regardless of "SystemKernelExtensions.kc" that is also updated when kext are patched, this should fix an usbopencore booting for the BigSur's Preboot: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...unsupported-macs-thread.2242172/post-28948321

I know It's weird but you need a separate snapshot for opencore, because the snapshot booting used for "apple startup manager" is tagged for a different UUID root, but using my previous step from single user mode should fix this even when using a kernelcollection with patched kext.

My USBopencore setup could work also for other machines, but for those who have a MacPro I advise to follow this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/
Hi
jackluke
I need your support to install Big Sur in Mac mini late 2009.
I have read your complete instruction to apply this patcher but I am confused from where to start.

(Material Ready for installation)
I have prepare the bootable usb, it boot perfect and I have installed Big Sur 1 and 2 stages. and 3 stage system boot to Mac OS Recovery.it was clean install from patched Catalina dosdude1.
Onward have no idea what steps should I take to complete the installation.
How to boot Big Sur from installed drive.

Kindly help me
Thank you.

So, the good news is that I convinced DP7 to boot on a Core 2 Duo.

View attachment 957261

The bad news is that I did it by swapping in the DP6 kernel, and it wouldn't even reach single-user mode without that.
  • Every DP7 kext + the DP6 kernel = boots
  • Every DP6 kext + the DP7 kernel = hangs
I did multiple swaps and KC rebuilds to confirm this. So it's clear that the kernel is the culprit.

Whatever Apple's changed in the kernel completely breaks it on (presumably) Penryn systems. This is... not good.
Hi
ASentientBot
Good see this that Big Sur work in core 2 Duo congrats
well I have Mac mini Early 2009 and want to install Big Sur.i have prepare the bootable usb patched by jackluke
and it boot perfect and complete 2 stage installation successfully, but at 3 stage system boot Mac OS recovery.
Onward I have no idea which step I should to boot from installed Big Sur drive.
I am stuck at there.at first attempt I was installed 2 patcher ious and frame buffer but was confused to select drive to apply those patcher.after resart system boots to recovery not drive.

Then I apply core loader and restart system in core loader and preboot drive appear I was select the drive its convert to Machintosh Big Sur installation drive boot from this Big Sur setup mode appear but unfortunately mouse was not working.
but graphic was perfect speed was perfect no any issue.

kindly help me where I was wrong which step I was missed
sip was not disable or some other reason

NO IDEA

Thank you



it is clean install from patcher Catalina dosdude1.

Just a tip
Don't waste your time, stay on Catalina, yours does not run well on Big Sur.
Get a newer machine if that's an option, mine is a 2012 Mac Mini, runs Big Sur quite well, can't fathom why Apple didn't allow Big Sur on 2012 Macs, I also have a 2012 MBP, was sold until November 2016, so less then 5 years ago, Apple normally supports macs to up for 5 years, not this time, a shame.
 
**********An Update on Radeon 6X support under Big Sur and Catalina**********
Alright just an update on Radeon 6X support with full support under Catalina and partial support under Big Sur....I will be entering RC phase of testing and due to overwhelming demand if I haven't responded to your email my kexts are being submitted to senior members of this forum including barrykm and the creator of Patched Sur to include in there patchers. Its now there choice to include it. I will be creating a GitHub tomorrow for my patched kexts but I want to annonce support tonight for the Mac mini 2011 with radeon 6x graphics along with the iMac with 6x graphics and along with the MacBook Pro 2011 with 6x graphics. To be clear under Catalina there is full support and under Big Sur we have basic support with no acceleration and basic support for screen resolution and brightness. I am under no certainty guaranteeing a smooth experience as of now with my testing under Big Sur. Like I said in earlier posts none metal support will not be possible in Big Sur because of the amount of OpenGL code apple stripped in support for metal. It will give these users basic support under Big Sur with almost full support under Catalina. Enjoy. Github links will be posted tomorrow.
 
and to be clear my focus over the next week will be berrykn and patched sur as these are the communitys current primary patchers once Ive worked with them to make a stable experience with there patchers and my kexts I will answer and support other patchers but for mass distribution these two developers are my focus for right now! Tutorials and support without me answering will be available through my GitHub I may respond after I work with these two developers to enable smooth performance or basic support!
 
Right now Im sitting at 323 emails and IM one person.....Working with these two developers will allow me to cut down on the messages and work on continue developing cause at this point I'm overwhelmed... .which is why I was scared to post this here. I love this community but I'm one person and so isn't Barrykn and Patched Sur....Please allow us to work together and please off the messages. These forum posts are easier to respond to. I have three kids and I can't raise them, develop these and answer all questions. I love you guys but I'm one person.....so isn't DosDude....so isn't barrkykn....and so isn't the developer of Big Mac and Patched Sur... what gets tough is when we are inundated with messages we can't possibly respond to. I will do my best but as of tonight when I logged in I almost lost it partly happy with the support and overwhelmed with the messages I now have to respond to as we move forward please understand these projects from each one of these developers is pretty much on our own time and the amount of time we code and create the scripts consumes so much time for us to respond to all of you. Please read through the forum posts and then ask us questions. Thanks y'all!
 
@******* there will be no install package like I said before its now are job to figure out how to make OTA work at our advantage. Just like IOS we are now there!!!! Like I said in Big Sur at its release this OS is a different beast which is why DosDude1 and other have given up. Its now our chance to figure out this puzzle we need all of your help!
 
Wow. That is great news.

I have 4 x 2011 iMacs with the stock GPU.

Though I mainly use BootCamp on these it would be nice to run something newer than High Sierra, perhaps on an external drive to see what it is like.

Would be nice if someone prepared an OpenCore for use with the stock GPU.
 
If one chooses to format one's iphone via hard reset, then there is the option to download and install the full ios package. I would think that there will be a full macos 11.1 installer, once this is released to the public. That would make would make sense also for those big sur late adopters. Of course all that is speculation.

Thanks for your effort!

Don't you think that managing all the responses with a git-repo using e.g. issues would make it easier?!

That will not work right now. But you may use my fork of the micro patcher and do a test installation. The SandyBridge CPU needs some HD3000 kext and files patched back from High Sierra to get sleep working.
Currently without metal, of course. I am waiting for this extension too and will add it it the installer as soon as I get it.

You can do my a favour and post back the result of this command from the terminal on your stock iMac 12,1:

Code:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | fgrep "Device ID" | awk '{print $3}

BTW:
