So I went with the same type I had already MBP111->MBP114. the only reference I found was that I need to use a firmware for macbooks 2015 or newer. I was not sure which one to use because nobody had stated clearly which one to use.
#Uefitool mac driver
But I later discovered that this version can't replace the DXE driver because it lacks the write functionality so you actually need the old UEFItool version - 0.25.1Ĥ) Next I opened to instances of the UEFItool - one with my current bootrom firmware (MBP111) and other instance with MBP114. usr/libexec/firmwarecheckers/eficheck -save -b ~/firmware.binģ) Then I downloaded the latest UEFItool from the github page (version A55 as of today). After poking around I found out that the fastest way to do it on the same laptop is by executing in terminal:
#Uefitool mac full
I ended up downloading the full dmg installer (macOSUpd10.14.5.dmg) manually:Ģ) I needed to do a backup of my old bootrom but it wasn't clear how exactly do to this and what is the proper way of doing it.
That was a mistake because it did not contain the needed firmware bits. After days of searching for information I finally felt ready to pull this off.ġ) First I downloaded the Mojave installer on the macOs.
#Uefitool mac upgrade
Unfortunately the information is somehow incomplete - most of the guys who did the upgrade did not write the exact steps how they did it. Finally the tools arrived and I started digging for information how exactly to do the upgrade. Meanwhile I was waiting for tools to arrive, I switched back to original macos drive so I don't have the reboot issues.Ĭhapter 3. You can find it by searching for "EFI-ROM Converting board for Apple MacBook J6100 SPI-ROM EFI ROM". It's actually crazy expensive - the cable is 55USD on ebay. Also bought the converting board/cable so I can plug the programmer in directly on the motherboard without de-soldering anything. That was like my backup plan for the 3.3v voltage issue with CH341a. I also bought XTW100 programmer since those to basically cost nothing. Did the research and finally ordered CH341a programmer from Aliexpress. The battery basically died overnight by using this solution so I wanted a proper fix. I did the pmset command to prevent the laptop from going into hibernation but this was not the result I expected. That's when it hit me that it's going to be a pain in the ass. I had to like go through 50+ pages from this topic to find out about the NVMe DXE driver issue. The random restarting issue after closing the lid. It was a success - got it running, had all my apps installed, the speed was also very good (1.3GB/sec) so I was about to close the case. I felt that finally the odds have turned in my favor and proceeded with MacOs Mojave installation.
#Uefitool mac windows 10
After a lot of different experiments I finally got the drive showing up both in macos installer and windows 10 installer by just resetting the NVRAM (I think it was Option-Command-P-R key combination). I didn't order the sintech adapter right away, I wanted to be sure that it's really the adapter. That was when I first found this topic and I started to suspect that something is wrong with my NVMe adapter. The windows installer showed the drive for a brief period but when I had to do the partitioning, the drive would just disappear.
#Uefitool mac install
Then I decided to go with a windows 10 usb flash to try to install that on my new shiny EVO drive. However I tried basically everything but the EVO drive would not show up.
After some trial and error I found the magic key-press which brings up the internet-recovery menu. I did not have the restore partition because I did a clean Windows 10 install on my old drive (without bootcamp). I remember having a gray screen and an icon in the center of the screen and that's it. Suspecting nothing I did install the drive in the mac but on the first launch nothing happened. At that time I didn't know about the macrumors forum and a topic almost 200 pages long about the issues I will face. I bought a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB from amazon and an adapter from eBay. This little project took me like two months to pull this off and when I finally got the desired result I just felt obliged to post my success story.įirst things first - I have MacbookPro Retina 13-inch Late 2013.
