#HOW TO CREATE A BOOTABLE USB ON 2015 MACBOOK PRO RETINA DOWNLOAD#

I used to have download updates uncheckedвЂ¦so I checked it and rebooted and then checked system preferences again.

#HOW TO CREATE A BOOTABLE USB ON 2015 MACBOOK PRO RETINA INSTALL#

IвЂ™ve got check for updates, download updates, and install system data files and security updates checked and install macOS updates and install app updates unchecked so I can do those manuallyвЂ¦we live full time in our RV and I need to make sure that those only happen when weвЂ™re not on our metered MiFi bandwidth and on campground wifi instead. IвЂ™ve normally got internet accessвЂ¦just checked and System Preferences says IвЂ™m up to date. Check System Preferences->App Store and make sure you have both вЂњAutomatically check for updatesвЂќ and вЂњInstall system data files and security updatesвЂќ enabled. Just need to get to the bottom of why you arenвЂ™t able to access the current вЂњEFIAllowListAllвЂќ.

So the question is, why isnвЂ™t your MBP able to check MAS Software Updates during an OS update? Are you disconnected from the Internet at such times or is something else preventing you from getting necessary EFI information?ДЄnd as to your last points, both the delta and combo updates do contain the correct EFI update for your MBP11,4, so not surprising that both gave you the same results. I suspect that itвЂ™s also downloaded and referenced during OS updates (which, as mentioned earlier, always contain appropriate EFI updates now). ItвЂ™s posted to the same Software Update catalog as all other MAS updates, but as stated isnвЂ™t kept up-to-date on your computer.

Howard Oakley found that the вЂњEFIAllowListAllвЂќ must be dynamically downloaded and checked during the Integrity Check process. It would seem the result that I bolded above, is somehow the root cause of your problem. LaterвЂ¦nope, the Combo Updater run successfully with 3 or 4 different reboots so I was hoping it would update the EFI but I get the same result from terminal as I did aboveвЂ¦and according to the eclecticlight link above I should have MacBookPro11,4 187.0.0.0.0 (0185.B00.1809171422).

I found an article at that references what the EFI versions should be but it doesnвЂ™t really talk about how to get the most recent version if you donвЂ™t have itвЂ¦perhaps running the Combo after the Delta updater will fix thatвЂ¦IвЂ™ll go and check. The EFI version in the first line sort of but not exactly matches what System Information gives meвЂ¦which is 00. IвЂ™m not sure exactly what that output meansвЂ¦either thereвЂ™s a ROM version missing from the Primary allowlistвЂ¦or mine did not get properly updated somewhere along the line. Primary allowlist version match not found for version 00.1802270937. This system does now allow downloading background update data. Matching allowlist not found in EFIAllowListShipping. Running the terminal command Curtis suggested gives me the following:Д®FI Version: 00.1802270937 IвЂ™m downloading a fresh copy to see if they replaced it.

The Combo updater also failed on on my Mini so apparently thereвЂ™s something amiss with the Combo Updater. Just to finish upвЂ¦thereвЂ™s a discussion over on Macintouch about this as wellвЂ¦and installing the delta via System Prefs and then running the Combo afterward said the Combo would install although I didnвЂ™t actually do that yet. IвЂ™ve got the original SSD from Apple in an external USB OWC caseвЂ¦itвЂ™s still on High Sierra soIвЂ™ll try updating it to Mojave and see if that makes any differenceвЂ¦but in the event it doesnвЂ™t and the ROM needs updating any idea how to go about it? I would hate to have to put the original SSD back in just to get things right. I was able to update to 10.14.3 using Software Update in System PreferencesвЂ¦but that didnвЂ™t change the boot ROM version either. OWC told me that I needed to reset the SMCвЂ¦which I doubted but did it anywayвЂ¦no ROM update and still no 10.14.3. Tried to install the 10.14.3 Combo Updater today and the updater said that it couldnвЂ™t be installed on this disk. I replaced my original 512 GB Apple SSD with an OWC Aura Pro X 1 TB last April and it successfully updated through the various combo updaters for High Sierra, the Mojave installer from September last, and the 10.14.x Combo Update installers through 10.14.2. Can somebody with an up to date Mojave installation on a 2015 Retina MBP tell me what the boot ROM version is in System Information?
