Install Opencore Mac Pro 5 1

Posted By admin  On 16.09.21

In love with Big Sur with Opencore on my Mac Pro 5.1! Yesterday was the day where I decided to install macOS Big Sur on my Mac Pro 5.1. I used Martin Lo's OC package and it was so easy to upgrade. I previously had a patched Install of macOS Catalina on my NVME and decided to give OpenCore a try. I only mounted the EFI Partition of my NVME. WARNING DO NOT INSTALL Big Sur 11.3 it is not compatible with Mac Pro 5,1s. Only 11.2.3 works and may be the final version of Mac OS for our 5,1s unless the. 'Easy' Install of OpenCore on a Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to 5,1 or a 2010 -2012 Mac Pro 5,1. Don’t Do This. do you research and make sure it is something yo. Need help in installing Mojave on mid-2010 Pro 5.1? I am starting from High Sierra 10.13.6 on a Crucial MX500 - 500 GB SSD. It proceeds to the first restart and goes to the grey screen with Apple logo and starts the progress bar for a few seconds and stops.

Os x 10.11 dmg download. OpenCore on Legacy Apple Hardware
This guide explains how to use the excellent OpenCore bootloader on a classic Mac Pro to install, run and update macOS Catalina, resulting in a clean, unpatched operating system no different than on a supported Mac.
Why OpenCore?
There are several advantages to using OpenCore on a classic Mac Pro:
Boot picker screen (even with a standard graphics card)

Software Update (just like on a supported Mac)Hardware acceleration (and DRM for Netflix on Safari)Requirements
Mac Pro modelEarly 2009 with MacPro5,1 firmware,* Mid 2010 or Mid 2012Processor architectureWestmere (E56xx, L56xx, X56xx) / Gulftown (W36xx)Boot ROM version144.0.0.0.0*GraphicsCatalina supported GPU**, EFI (flashed) or a standard UEFI card (PC GPU)
* Need to upgrade? See the upgrade instructions.
** Several GPUs that are supported with High Sierra had support removed from Mojave and Catalina, like any non-Kepler generation NVIDIA GPUs or AMD GPUs earlier than HD 7950. Several HD 78xx GPUs (Pitcairn) were rebadged as R9 2xx and are not supported anymore by Mojave/Catalina drivers. All Mac Pro factory GPUs had support removed with Mojave.1 Disk Setup
Prepare two disks as follows:Disk ADisk B
Existing Mojave installation (with working recovery)​
This is where the configuration will take place​
These disks should be the only ones in your Mac. To ensure a bootable fallback, it is recommended that Disk B be a SATA disk in Bay 1.
2 Install OpenCore
You will need:
Download the release version. The uncompressed folder will be referred to as OpenCore.​
Sample configuration file (updated December 7, 2020)​
The name of the uncompressed file is config.plist.​
The sample configuration is incompatible with any OpenCore version other than the one linked above. Before deviating from this configuration, make sure that you fully understand all the options by going over the manual (see OpenCore/Docs/Configuration.pdf). Seriously, read the manual.​
Copy the files to the EFI volume of Disk A
  • Open Terminal
  • Find the EFI volume of Disk A by entering: diskutil list
The identifier should be something like diskAs1. Replace the actual identifier in the following step.​
  • Mount the EFI volume by entering: sudo diskutil mount /dev/diskAs1
You may need to authorize this. The volume should mount as /Volumes/EFI and appear as EFI in Finder. In the next step, you will be copying the folder OpenCore/X64/EFI to this volume. Note that the volume may already contain a folder called EFI (which in turn may contain a folder called APPLE). In this case, you can choose to merge the contents of the EFI folder if prompted by macOS.​
  • Copy the folder OpenCore/X64/EFI to the volume /Volumes/EFI
The resulting folder /Volumes/EFI/EFI should include two new folders BOOT and OC (possibly alongside the existing folder APPLE).​
  • Copy config.plist to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC
3 First Boot
Reboot into recovery
  • Open Terminal
  • Reboot into recovery by entering: sudo nvram 'recovery-boot-mode=unused' && sudo reboot recovery
You may need to authorize this. Be patient. Mac Pro boot times can be long, especially when booting into recovery.​
Bless the EFI volume of Disk A and reboot
  • In recovery, open Terminal (see Utilities in the menu bar)
  • Find the EFI volume of Disk A by entering: diskutil list
The identifier should be something like diskAs1. Replace the actual identifier in the following step.​
  • Mount the EFI volume by entering: diskutil mount /dev/diskAs1
  • Bless the volume for booting by entering: bless --mount /Volumes/EFI --setBoot
  • Now shut down your Mac and reset the SMC (unplug the power cord, wait 15 seconds, plug the power cord back in, wait 5 seconds, and then press the power button)
Resetting the SMC ensures that Disk B is seen by OpenCore.​
If you see the simple boot picker, let it timeout to the default selection.​
Check the installation
  • Open Terminal
  • Check that OpenCore has actually booted the system by entering: nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version
  • Check the VMM flag by entering: sysctl machdep.cpu.features
You should see VMM (among other features).​
🎉 Congratulations for making it this far! The hard part is done.​
4 Install Catalina
You will need:Install Catalina to Disk A
  • Run the installer and select Disk A
The machine will reboot. If you see the simple boot picker, let it timeout to the default selection. Eventually, you should see the installation progress bar.​
  • Complete the installation
And that's it! From now on, OpenCore should boot Catalina on Disk A by default. You can also select the desired system from Startup Disk or the simple boot picker.​
5 Post-Install
Open the configuration file
  • Open Terminal
  • Find the EFI volume of Disk A by entering: diskutil list
The identifier should be something like diskAs1. Replace the actual identifier in the following step.​
  • Mount the EFI volume by entering: sudo diskutil mount /dev/diskAs1
You may need to authorize this. The volume should mount as /Volumes/EFI and appear as EFI in Finder.​
  • Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC and copy config.plist to your home folder
  • Open config.plist in your home folder with TextEdit
Toggle the VMM flag
Adding the VMM flag to the CPUID is what enables Software Update and the installation of macOS Catalina. On a classic Mac Pro, adding this flag is only possible with a Westmere processor architecture. Older generations like Nehalem lack the necessary Apple Hypervisor support. Because the VMM flag causes a performance loss (about 5%) and disables power management, it is a good idea to only have the flag ON when installing macOS or checking for updates.​
  • Find Cpuid1Mask and make the appropriate change
ONOFF
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA​
Disable the special GOP renderer if not needed
For maximum compatibility, the sample configuration enables a special GOP renderer to display the boot picker. This option, which is needed for the Radeon VII and some versions of the 5700 XT but not for the RX 580, can cause undesirable effects (such as slow scrolling) and therefore should be disabled if not needed.​
  • Find DirectGopRendering and change true to false
Customize the boot screen
  • If you have a HiDPI display (retina), find UIScale and change AQ to Ag
  • To get a black boot screen (like all supported Macs), find ConsoleAttributes and change 112 to 0 and find DefaultBackgroundColor and change v7+/AA to AAAAAA
  • To hide the boot picker find ShowPicker and change true to false
If you've hidden the boot picker, accessing it is easy: Press and hold the Escape (Esc) key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac. Release the key once the simple boot picker appears—or once the mouse cursor appears if you've enabled the graphical boot picker (see Part II).​
Load the configuration
  • Close config.plist and copy it back to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC
  • Reboot
PART II

Updating OpenCore
OpenCore is currently being updated on the first Monday of every month. To update OpenCore, simply repeat steps 2 and 5 of Part I (overwriting /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC and /Volumes/EFI/EFI/BOOT) and (if applicable) repeat Part II. To facilitate the process, @TECK has developed a nifty script, which you can adapt to your configuration. This tool is especially useful for advanced configurations.
