then you have to shutdown the system then turn on and keep hold option then select to boot from the installer usb, then from installer select disk management then format big sur partition and repeat the installation , (don't install big sur in your main catalina system )
power on the mac, Keep hold option key, choose usb installer -> apear apple logo-> 30 seconds later->prohibited grey screen
Whenever I click on the link, it goes to Not Found on my end. Am I supposed to open it in terminal?
turn on then keep hold option until you see this screen

where you installed big sur ? did you create separate volume on your hard drive to big sur ?
I dont install big sur yet, because dont boot the usb installer, this is the problem i have
format the usb installer and create new patched big sur again . > create separate volume on your hard disk with 50 gb at least for the installation of big sur then select this volume for the installation
you are right. The file has been removed, but I don't know another source.
You can find a good link in post #2898 On page 116. For a list see my post #4,022.

Link still dead. I mean, as mentioned on my post on page 163, I can boot the installer, I just can’t install or do anything because I can’t move the cursor or even use keyboard input. I am just hoping I don’t have to cave and get a magic keyboard (I have a Magic Mouse, but I left it in MI) to install Big Sur. Would have thought a wired mouse and keyboard would work, but I think it is related to a legacy usb kext issue
Created again new big sur patcher usb installer, and nothing, the same problem.
Well according to this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Big_Sur#Release_history) betas 1 through 4 have been set at "not available" -- expired. Sorry!
interesting. okay, well it was worth a try lol! at least i can use catalina perfectly fine lmao. looks like its time to invest in more macs! lmao. maybe i might get a good deal on a newer one on ebay.....................then i might have better luck. ah well, it was worth a tryYep, you have an unsupported unsupported Mac
usb installer should work and installer should work if sip disabled and compatible check disabled
please check this guide and try to do the same
first of all: thanks for publishing my little manual, on the other hand I think it would have been friendly to tell from where you got it...
I tried to disable sip in recovery (cmd+r) but:
csrutil: failed to modify system integrity configuration. This tool needs to be executed from the Recovery OS.
csrutil: failed to modify system integrity configuration. This tool needs to be executed from the Recovery OS.
Thanks for that and to all who have put all the work in behind the scenes. Particular thanks to barryKN for the micro patcher. Just installed Big Sur on a separate partition on my 2012 MacBook Air using this guide and by following the advice to terminal commands as per picture attached . the wifi was repaired by opening terminal after it booted in to Big Sur and dragging patch-kexts.sh in to it. Again thanks to all ill test it in the coming days . cheers

to check status :>>csrutil status<<
