Tahoe does not want to install with my efi

[Joeytic]

Hello, I’m posting about my failed attempts to upgrade to macOS Tahoe.


I managed to update once before, but I had to roll back, and now I can’t upgrade to Tahoe again no matter what I do.


I’ve customized my EFI multiple times, and it works perfectly with Sonoma, Sequoia, and even Ventura. But the moment I try to update to Tahoe, everything breaks. I tried using the OTA updater, which worked once, but now every time I download Sonoma and attempt to update, it crashes at the macOS installer stage and completely breaks my system. I’ve wasted a huge amount of internet quota trying to fix this.


I also tried using prebuilt EFIs from multiple YouTube guides, thinking the issue might be my EFI. On top of that, I tested the raw offline installer from Olarila and the Tahoe recovery image. None of them even open the installer — the system just keeps restarting before it can enter the installer.


At this point, I’m completely stuck.

Attach your EFI to check!

here I removed the resources so I can upload it

this is a brand new EFI that also does not want to work

I know I am using bloated SSDTS I will fix them when I'm back on windows rn I am on latest Sonoma

for the info when I try to use recovery for Tahoe it shows
MAC(dmg) with a golden logo that fails to boot and restarts the pc

and New Volume (dmg) says not supported
same thing with Olarila offline installer (26.1) but it also shows MacOS installer with the olarilla logo also does not work

I also want to fix ethernet as I mostly use it and not wifi (I am fine with itlwm and heliport but I want ethernet for stability)

and I want to enable the boot chime (analog speakers connected to the pc from the aux jack)

thank you
