1. Preparation
A USB flash drive above 8G (some USB flash drives are marked with 8G, but actually only have X, and those with an actual capacity of less than 7.5G will fail)
MacOS image, TransMac (burning tool), DiskGenius (partitioning tool), EasyUEFI (boot work area), EFI driver files.
2. Make a boot U disk
1. Insert your U disk into the computer. To ensure success, first format the U disk with the default value;
2. Install the burning software TransMac and activate it. The activation tutorial is very simple (replace);
3. Run TransMac as administrator;
4. Find your U disk in the left column of the software window. Right-click the U disk, and then click "Format Disk for Mac" (this will delete all files on the U disk and prepare it for MacOS); all the way to the default step;
5. Next, continue to right-click the U disk, then click “Restore with Disk Image,” and then select the downloaded black apple dmg image, confirm and write. (The burning image speed is related to the USB transmission speed, please wait patiently).
3. Configure Clover boot driver
Note: After the writing is completed, unplug the U disk again, the computer will prompt to format the current device, don’t worry, this is because windows cannot read the Mac partition.
1. Open the partition tool DiskGenius, find the ESP partition on the U disk, and delete the built-in EFI file.
2. Copy the EFI folder suitable for your computer into it. Here you can only paste with shortcut keys, Ctri+C to copy, and Ctrl+V to paste.
Here are some EFI resources collected by my remote installation ( five-year-old store, hard work remote, original collection ), a collection of EFI driver files equipped with a variety of computers, except for computers with third-generation processors or lower configurations, all have been updated to support On 10.15, computers with basic mainstream configurations are collected and can be directly replaced. The EFI collection is updated weekly and new files are added, and the driver is updated every 15.0/15.2/15.4/15.6. Note: EFI can only be collected after installation on a real machine, and cannot be configured . There are old versions of resources ( Taobao , Xianyu , GitHub ) flowing out of the Internet . The files are incomplete and in disrepair for a long time , so they cannot be suitable for the new system . The old computer is barely usable after installing the old system. For the new computer and the new system, please be sure to get the latest collection and pay attention to the WeChat official account Yuexiang Software replied to Black Apple to get the collection and it can be updated permanently .
At this point, the U disk boot disk is completed! The black apple is 80% complete.
4. Make a Mac system disk
Making a Mac system disk is divided into partition installation and whole disk installation. In fact, they are similar, but many people ask, so I will talk about them here. Partition installation means that I have a disk and divided it into several partitions, one of which is used to install the Mac system, which is the same as the C drive and D drive of the Windows system, and the data does not affect each other. The whole disk installation means that I use a whole disk to install the Mac system. I personally suggest that if possible, choose the whole disk installation.
1. Partition installation
a. Right-click Computer > Manage > Disk Management
b. First check whether the disk meets the requirements. The disk format must be GPT format (GUID), that is, right-click the disk, and "convert to MRB disk" is gray, which means the GPT format.
c. In addition, the disk cannot have a partition smaller than 200M and must use EFI partition (the EFI partition must also be larger than 200M). After these two basic conditions are met, right-click to compress the volume.
d. Enter the compressed size, according to your own situation and requirements, the minimum is 25G.
e. Next, select the compressed partition and right-click to create a new simple volume.
f. Then go to the next step by default all the way, but note that there is an item to choose " Do not format this volume "
Be careful not to format this volume here
The end result is something like this
2. Install the whole hard disk
If the entire disk is only equipped with the mac system, then delete all partitions on the disk and turn it into a brand new disk. As shown below:
In disk management it will show as unallocated
At this point, the installation disk is done, and the black apple has completed 85%.
5. Install the Mac system
1. Set the BIOS, restart and press F2 to enter the BIOS with a U disk (different computers have different keys, depending on your computer model);
2. First set the hard disk mode to AHCI, otherwise there will be a situation where the disk tool cannot read the built-in hard disk;
3. Then turn off Secure Boot or choose another operating system (this is set by Microsoft to prevent computers with Windows operating system from being modified to linux, and you cannot boot to Clover if you don’t turn it off);
4. Turn on UEFI boot mode;
5. For the first boot item, select the U disk that you have burned yourself, EUFI+U disk name;
6. Save and restart;
7. After restarting, it will enter clover, select Boot MacOS install from install macOS Catalina,
8. After a while, you will enter the following interface;
9. Enter the installation interface after running the code or the progress bar, first select the disk tool;
10. Select the Mac system disk made by yourself, erase the disk, enter the name casually, select the APFS format for the solid state drive, and select the extended journal for the mechanical hard drive;
11. After erasing the disk, close "Disk Utility", select "Install OS X", then find the disk you just touched, select it and install it!
12. Select the Mac installation disk that was erased just now, and start the first installation;
13. After the first installation, it will restart, restart or select the U disk to start, enter Clover and select Boot MacOS from X, (X the name of the installation disk you just erased) will enter the official installation area after a while.
14. Secondary installation
15. After the second installation, the black apple will be installed on your hard disk. After restarting, choose the U disk to start, enter Clover and select X (the name of the disk you erased), and enter the Apple system;
16. After setting the account password, etc., you can enter the desktop;
17. Mac system desktop and launch pad;
Six, change the hard disk to start
1. Open the partition tool, copy the clover folder in the EFI folder just now to the ESP partition of the hard disk (as before, use the shortcut key to copy);
2. Install the EasyUEFI boot tool;
3. After installation, open the main interface to manage EFI boot items;
5. Select the type of Linux or other operating systems;
6. The description is the name of the new boot item, you can enter it casually, and I entered "CLOVER" here (note that you can only enter English);
7. Select the target partition, select the ESP partition of your own hard disk, that is, the partition where you just copied the EFI file, and then click Browse to proceed to the next step;
8. Find the CLOVERX64.efi startup file under the EFI/CLOVER/ folder;
9. Confirm after selection to complete the new boot item;
10. Then adjust the newly created boot item to be the first boot item;
11. Finally, the hard disk boot modification is completed, and you can unplug the U disk to start the mac system in the future;
So far, the black apple installation tutorial is finished, I wish you to eat black apple as soon as possible!
