Whilst messing around with OCLP and dosdude patchers I made an observation that left me confused (not unusual tbh kinda my default state)
Hers what I did, lots.
1. Boot into Recovery Mode.
2. Disable SIP (csrutil disable)
3. Reboot into El Cap
4. Check SIP status
I would have expected all options to be disabled. Does this look correct? I would have expected
What stands out to me is the NVRAM Protections are still on.
Could this be messing up my ability to carry out a successful patched install?
Also, does an NVRAM reset wipe out/restore/default any SIP setting I may have made?
Just trying to broaden my understanding a small chunk at a time
