Every time I try to open the config.plist file in propertree it says it's invalid even though I opened it before?

Can you send the config.plist here?

A youtube told me to use a sanity check and the sanity check showed this

copying the sample.plist seemed to solve the problem in till I saved the config file in propertree which corrupted it and made it blank like the first time.

P.S here is the .plist file, I renamed it to .txt to upload here
config.txt

Hmm - are you saving from ProperTree directly to the EFI? If so - try saving to the Desktop first, then manually copying the config.plist over to the EFI and see if that works. I've implemented checks to catch any exceptions when saving - but for some reason, saving directly to the EFI can fail at times, and not report any errors (not something I know how to fix at the moment).

I've also just pushed a commit that generates an MD5 hash of both the temp plist and destination plist - then compares them and warns if they are different. An example of the output is as follows:

thanks I will give it a try

Sorry I am not really proficient at hackintosh , but how can I use the commit you pushed?

You can just download a new copy of the repo (direct link here) and that will have the commit I pushed. If the dialog box I sent a screenshot of shows up when you try to save - then try saving to the Desktop first, and copying the file over to its destination.

thanks so much

Did that fix your issue?
