FAQ

My touchpad isn't working after update.

You need to rebuild the kext cache after every system update. Use Kext Utility.app or type sudo kextcache -i / in Terminal.app. Then restart. If this still doesn't work, try to press F9.

I can't click to drag files using the trackpad.

Starts from VoodooI2C v2.4.1, the click down action is emulated to force touch, which causes the failure of click down and drag gestures. You can turn off Force Click in SysPref - Trackpad or choose three finger drag in SysPref - Accessibility - Mouse & Trackpad - Trackpad Options.

My screen turns to black and has no response during the updating process.

If you have black screen for five minutes and get no response from the device, please force restart your laptop(Long press power button) and choose Boot macOS Install from ~ entry.

My device is locked by Find My Mac and can't be booted, what should I do now?

For Clover users, press Fn+F11 when you are in Clover boot page. Then Clover will refresh nvram.plist, and lock message should be removed.
For OC users, press Esc to enter the boot menu during startup. Then, press Space key and choose Clean NVRAM.

[Clover] I opened the FileVault, and I can't find macOS partition in Clover boot page, how can I solve it?

It is not recommended to open FileVault. You can press Fn + F3 in the Clover boot page and choose the icon with FileVault. Then you can boot in the system and close FileVault.

[Clover] I can't boot in Windows/Linux by using Clover, but able to boot by press F12 and select OS.

Many people met this problem by using the new version of AptioMemoryFix.efi. A workaround is to delete AptioMemoryFix.efi in /CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/ and replace it with the old version provided in #93.

Also make sure Sandbox and Hyper-V functions in Windows 10 are disabled.

[OC] How to skip the boot menu and automatically boot into the system?

First, in macOS, open SysPref - Startup Disk. Choose the target system.
Then, open /EFI/OC/config.plist, and turn off ShowPicker.
When you want to switch OS, press Esc during startup to call the boot menu.
