Hi, Karar: I like your site. All information here so helpful. Almost every article is what I want to learn!

Regarding this problem, with smc.version = “0”, the unrecoverable error screenshot shown in this article is gone! However, a new problem shows up (I’ll email you the screenshot).

I tried smc.version = 0, still the same new problem.

Just for your info: my machine is AMD FX-8320 Eight-core 3.5GHz, motherboard is Gigabyte 970A-DS3P (not a good one).

Thank you very much.

Hello Karar. I just tried to install OS X Sierra through your latest videos. I followed everything on your video until it gets stuck on the apple icon loading screen, due to which I cannot set up. It takes a lot of time to load then gets stuck. I have used the patch tool many times, I even downloaded another patch tool and I have also checked the name of macOS and others it matches everything as in the video, can you please help?

Hey Dude, It worked for me as well. But I am bit curious why it worked. Can you please share some knowledge. Appreciate your help

I was running VMWare with Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan for over a year. Also installed Xcode into the El Cap environment. I’m running Windows 10. During the course of the year both the OS & Xcode were upgraded.

Last night I was prompted for another upgrade. Didn’t pay all that much attention to it. Launched it and this morning it won’t launch the VM environment.

I get a grey screen with:

Attempting to start up from:
-> EFI VMware Virtual SATA Hard Drive (0.0) … unsuccessful.
-> EFI VMware Virtual SATA CDROM Driver (1.0) 000 unsuccessful.
-> EFI Network . . .

It then flips to a Boot Manager screen.

I’ve searched high & low, and haven’t been able to find a fix.
