What sorts of things might one use Clover's UEFI Shell for? I just opened it up, and it seems very different than bash. If I mess up a kext and need to delete or edit it, can I do that here? When I enter cd, it says the current directory is not specified, and pwd doesn't work, so I'm kind of lost. help scrolls quickly through everything, and less doesn't work here.

It's also useful for editing the clover config.plist file if you messed it up and cannot boot into Mac OS X anymore...

How? I don't see any way to access the filesystem, nor any text editor commands, like nano or vi.

edit [file name]

Also see post #2, and use 'help' command for info on commands...

You can scroll the output with page up/page down. Use the "map" command to list file system mappings. Change working directory to a mapped filesystem with "FS0:", "FS1:" etc.

I have a dumb question... How do you save you're config.plist ? I've pressed F2 to save and it's written "File to save : [config.plist]"... does it mean that it's saved ? do I have to validate something ?? What do I do ??
 
I found ! (press enter then F3)


I have another question. Even if I've reseted the config.plist , windows and mac doesn't boot... what can I do to delete/bypass clover and start new os/windows installation ? (I have only access to the UEFI, the BIOS and Clover)

Boot from installation/recovery media e.g. USB. There should be some form of one-time boot menu in the settings.
