Hello everyone, I was setting up a dev environment (flutter) on my machine and ran into some problems. Long story short, I decided to back up all important files and reinstall Ventura (13.6.3) in order to get a fresh start. After making the installer usb on my Macbook, I copied the EFI folder from the (then) working installation and proceeded to boot from it into the installer with out issues. After wiping the ssd and reformatting it to APFS, I tried to install macOS, but received an error that halted the installation. Upon rebooting, I was met with the error in the title which has a solution here which did not work. So I found the binary of HfsPlus.efi, replaced the file, then opened the config.plist, deleted the corresponding entry, and did an OC snapshot (ProperTree) before replacing the EFI on the drive with the newer modified EFI. This did not work, so I repeated the process with a clean OC snapshot which failed to boot with the same error.
I want to stress that the only modifications I made where those listed above and that there where no modifications from the working config when I first tried it. As for the installation error, I did not grape a screenshot/write it down as I did not see it as consequential at the time, and can no longer get to the installer where I could attempt to replicate it. I also made sure check the case of HfsPlus.efi (i.e. it is not hfsplus.efi).
The previous install worked perfectly as far as macOS and my hardware could manage (e.g. no iGPU on 12th gen intel)
EFI Folder (note board info section intentionally sanitized)
Specs:
- CPU: i7-12700k
- GPU: RX 6950 XT - works with proper spoof
- RAM: 32 GB 3200Mhz DDR4
- MOBO: MSI Pro Z690-A (non-wifi)
- Network Card: Fenvi t919 (Broadcom 4360)
- Audio Codec: Realtek something, IDK, works out of the box
- Ethernet: Unused, not in config.plist/OC folder
Any help would be greatly appreciated and feel free to ask for more info if necessary.
