Can't update macOS Monterey / Missing EFI Boot ROM
Hi,
I am trying to update my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) to macOS Monterey,
but I keep failing.
Its says “An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."
I attached the installer log.
Then, I tried update via the recovery mode (which I only have the internet one), but he wanted me to reinstall macOS Big Sur, not updating to Monterey.
And finally, I tried via USB bootable installation.
in the beginning its seams ok, turn on and off doing the apple logo loading time bar, but a the end it failed saying my internal storage is not compatible.
when I clicked the about on the macOS update assistant it says OS X Mountain Lion/ Lion, which make no sense because my MacBook shipped with El Capitan/Sierra.
From a little research that I did, I think (but I am surly not an expert) it has something to do with me having no Recovery partition + no EFI Boot ROM, after replacing my SSD.
I saw a way of doing a firmware restoration/restore with Apple Configurator 2 (not even sure if that what I need), but I don't have access to another Mac to try doing that.
Running FirstAid on my SSD (on all the sub disks) was successful and didn't come up with anything.
I attached screenshots of anything that I could come up with to help you help me😉:
diskutil list commend, Hardware system report, Software system report, disk utility, about this mac.
Hope u can help me solve this.
Thank you all in advance 😀
P.S.
1. I don't mind doing restore to my Mac if necessary , I already did that a couple weeks ago and reinstalled macOS so he pretty much wiped out.
2. I still have the old flash storage in hand I it will help.
