UX310 skips OpenCore

[vitorrj]

UX310UQ, macOS BigSur

I have always used the Clover method but with the OpenCore, is not working anymore. I followed all the steps, however when I boot the USB the laptop seems to skip the bootloader, restart and follow my next boot option. As if 'was not there'
I have the following the structure

• ESP
  • EFI
    • BOOT
    • OC

I downloaded the debug version of OpenCore and that's what has been showing to me

I am also facing this issue. Have you found any solutions?

[vitorrj]

I don’t know if it’s related but after I deleted the commented lines in smbios.txt started working. The problem I am having now is that I am not being able to download BigSur, it always fails to download

Same here on an UX410 and also coming from a previous Clover installation. And when it automatically attempts to boot Windows (which is on a separate SSD), it BSODs.

Fun fact, OpenCore USB will boot my installed OpenCore partition. But it won't boot without the USB.

What fixed it for me is doing what this post said.

The generated config.plist disables the picker and sets the picker-timeout to 0...
@hieplpvip Since many users dual-boot windows, it makes more sense to enable the picker👍🏻

[vitorrj]

@shootlazer Indeed that was the problem! Thanks

@hieplpvip I agree with @finax1, it might be less confusing/easier to debug if the picker is enable

Anyway, done!

@vitorrj Which SMBios did u use? I use MacBookPro14,1 and therefor I had to disable SecureBootModel.

@hieplpvip What is your experience, which is the best SMBIOS for UX430UN KabyLake-R ?

[vitorrj]

@finax1 Me too, MacBookPro14,1! Mine SecureBootModel is set to default and so far is booting normally 🤗

this issue is not fixed yet, ShowPicker true + timeout works.
The linked PR does not seem to have an update, would be great to have it because it simply does not work without.
My problem in UX310UAK is that I just get a grey sceen in the bigsur installer, I will research and create a ticket for that if I can't solve it.
