How to Fix Intel Firmware is trying to download something and keeps retrying. (can't boot)
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Boot with
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100to identify the exact kernel panic. - Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
- Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
Hi, I installed Manjaro as a dual boot since this software does not support mac os. I booted in to mac os and the screen has a pink tint to the screen. I followed this guide and it told me to disable SIP to put this display file into System ==> Library ==> Contents ==> Override ==> Displays to fix it. I disabled it by going to recovery mode, then terminal and typing csrutil disable. I rebooted and now when I boot I get to this intel firmware part. It said it failed to connect to power supply and is downloading and redownloading something. It doesn't say what it is (Intel Firmware: Downloading...).
I have Mac os on a Intel NUC8i5BEH.If you want a screenshot I will post one in the morning (for me).
EDIT: Recovery mode boots fine
