Boot into the macOS installer - Plug in your Hackintosh USB installer. - At the OpenCore/Clover boot picker, choose “Install macOS …” (the installer). - Wait until you reach the macOS Utilities screen. ### 2. Open Terminal - In the top menu bar, click **Utilities → Terminal**.<br> (This gives you a terminal even if your system disk can’t boot.) ### 3. Find your EFI partition In Terminal, type: ```bash diskutil list ``` - This shows all disks and partitions. - Look for your macOS drive (usually disk0). - The EFI partition is typically disk0s1, 200 MB, formatted as EFI. ### 4. Mount the EFI partition Example: ```bash diskutil mount disk0s1 ``` After this, the EFI partition will appear in Finder as EFI. ### 5. Access your backup EFI - Also mount your macOS main partition (APFS or HFS+). Example: ```bash diskutil mount disk0s2 ``` - Now you can browse to your Desktop/Documents folder where your backup EFI is stored:<br> Path will be something like `/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/YourName/Desktop/EFI`. ### 6. Copy backup EFI to EFI partition Use Terminal `cp -R` to copy: ```bash cp -R "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/YourName/Desktop/EFI" /Volumes/EFI/ ``` ⚠️ Make sure to delete the broken EFI first if it exists: ```bash rm -rf /Volumes/EFI/EFI ``` Then copy: ```bash cp -R "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/YourName/Desktop/EFI" /Volumes/EFI/ ``` ### 7. Reboot ```bash reboot ``` Remove the USB → system should boot from your restored EFI. --- #### 📌 Note If you renamed your macOS volume to `masOS`, replace `Macintosh HD` with `masOS` in all commands. For example, to copy your EFI backup: ```bash cp -R "/Volumes/masOS/Users/YourName/Desktop/EFI" /Volumes/EFI/ ``` #### Additional commands 1. Mount the macOS partition: ```bash diskutil mount disk0s2 ``` 2. Go to your Desktop folder: ```bash cd "/Volumes/masOS/Users/YourUserName/Desktop" ``` - Replace `YourUserName` with your macOS account name. - To check usernames: ```bash ls "/Volumes/masOS/Users" ``` 3. List files/folders on Desktop: ```bash ls ```
