How to Dual Boot the Steam Deck with Clover (Full Process, Single Drive, No SD!) 

Thank you so much for the comment and positivity!

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the positivity and support. :)

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check it out and see about making an update asap. Thanks for the comment and software!

Great to hear!

Exactly same problem pls help how to fix it

Glad you enjoyed it!

From what I understand, the program to change the partition can not be running from the partition you wanna change, that's why he uses steamos from usb

Thanks, my bad missing that part

Yes, the same here

@@EDW4RD249 okay i figured out that u ju8st gotta wait patiently! it turns to 100% after like an hour :)

Tnx for that m8 i was actually starting to worry but worked out eventually .

did you ever figure this out?

@@borismurillo2834 I think it's because I was in a beta software update but I haven't received any since then

Don't run windows on SD card, run on ssd

Corrupt file. I'd download Windows again.

Bro, look at GParted. That should make it easy to do

it’s a long process for sure. I cut out the load times in the video.

@@MikeTheTech I ended up with a black screen, that didn´t load for 5 hours, gonna try that some day again. In the meantime, Ima try some other things, there´s enough to figure out ^^. Thanks for the video anyways.

@@dariuswoznica3498 did you find a solution bro? :D

@@woraz96 well, turns out the I can´t trust any of my devices rn, ´cause I aint sure wether it was my USB´s fault oe the on of my dock. Eh, I´ma just try around a bit more xD Thanks for asking though

​@@dariuswoznica3498u fixed it?

Same here, did u find solutions

Does it work for oled ?

me too

The same here, anyone could fix it?

Nice tip, thanks!

My screen starts flickering after I try nd go into windows now in happened right after I was updating windows it asked me to restart nd it was over after that I never got back in any ideas?

Usb must be formated fat32 or ntfi

did you ever solve steamOS disappearing?

@@samrose9675 @carlosromero8320 Same issue with me, let me know if it got fixed

same problem here. seems only w11 were installed

Update?

Welp

sameeee

You can always run a script again and fix it. You don't loose anything. And its only when steam releases BIOS firmware updates. Its not all updates..

Hi there clover script creator here. when that happens just manually boot to SteamOS using volup+power, boot from file, esp > efi > steamos > steamcl.efi After that the script will automatically fix the dual boot no further action needed. Once you reboot it will go back to the Clover screen.

i did that because of the windows problem, and im getting black screen@@10MinuteSteamDeckGamer

Still an issue?

Same here.

Glad it helped!

Unfortunately I don’t have an OLED model to test on. My apologies. Not sure.

@@MikeTheTech Thanks boss, i just tried this and it definitely works on the OLED aswell :)

Haven’t had any issues so far and it’s been about 5 months

lol. 🫡 I appreciate the comment!

Valve hasn’t updated the drivers for the steam deck oled

@@Skip_Gaming oh okay

@@gameskitzyou have OLED model?

@@ryantheradical yeah

Thanks for everything! You rock!

Steam updates can often break dual boot installs.

Did you install the drivers?

@@MikeTheTech First of all thanks for the fast response I really appreciate that. Second; I did install the drivers, but by mistake I installed the OLED ones instead of the LCD ones. So problem solved there. Third; I ran into another problem. The Valorant anti-cheat need Secure Boot to be enabled in order to run. I checked the System Info and the secure boot state is off. I tried Enabling it in the BIOS but I can't seem to find it. I did some searching and a lot of people are saying there is no Secure Boot on the Steam Deck, because Valve disabled it since there is no need for it to run Steam OS. Is that true? Or is there another way to fix this problem and run Valorant? Thank again!

I have the same issue

@@michaelrix3216 try this: Start with Steam Deck off. Hold Volume + button and power. Choose "Boot from file". Select esp/efi/steamos/steamcl.efi. Wait until SteamOS boots (there will be a blank screen for some time, but Steam should start after that). Go to desktop mode. Open Konsole. EDIT: if you never used sudo then type passwd and press Enter. Then set up your password that you will have to use whenever you run sudo. Run following command: sudo efibootmgr -c -L "SteamOS" -l "\EFI\steamos\steamcl.efi" -d /dev/nvme0n1p1 This will add a boot menu option for SteamOS. EDIT: If you're typing the command by hand, 2 remarks: it is one line command (in mobile apps it might be seen as multiple lines) the third flag, between "SteamOS" and "\EFI... is a dash and lowercase L (it might look like number one or uppercase i)

Same here , could you fix it?

Yeah & the Rick and Morty theme is cool, too

i have the same issue did you manage to repair it

@@jepetoangel1679 My usb flash drive simply never worked, I ended up using an SD Card and it worked flawlessly

Yeh me too 😢

Great to hear!

after some googling i found these instructions: "When you get to this screen, shift + F10, In Command Prompt, type the OOBE\BYPASSNRO command to bypass network requirements on Windows 11 and press Enter. Windows will restart, now you will get to the same acreen, but can now click I don't have an internet connection and continue with setup" this allowed me to continue with an "i dont have internet option" on the same screen and continue :)

so after i thought it was working it still can only connect to the internet via ethernet so again i'll have to wait to get an ethernet cable :/

not even sure why but now when i go to boot windows the screen is just blue so idk whats going on lol

Same thing just happened to me.

for me this was an issue with the specific usb drive i was using, switching to a different usb stick fixed it for me

@@nottrevorallen I am stuck in the black screen rn. Did u wait for things to install or did u just turn off the steam deck and then restart the process?

@@helloimuzumakikira1 you should be fine to just hold down power if you havent already. if you dont have another usb, try using partition manger in windows to make the usb less than 32 gb. seems like being above 32 makes steams installer act weird

@@nottrevorallen I am stuck on window 11 WiFi screen. It doesn't even detect a WiFi

@@helloimuzumakikira1 my advice ends here my friend, this was not an issue i experienced

Dude, me either

Did you ever get this fixed?

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you liked it!

Yes

Glad it helped!

Glad it was helpful!

Just restart like in the video.

No, this is the original Steam Deck.

I was able to do this successfully. I had to shred the storage in kde partition and luckily it worked

Are you trying to partition the usb drive? It needs to be the main drive.

@@MikeTheTechI was actually able to get it to work but unfortunately when trying to dual boot, everytime I entered boot mode, SteamOs was completely gone, couldn’t do anything but go into windows so I have to restart another time 😭

Yup! This video is specifically for those with only one drive.

Yeah

same thing happened on my end, is why i ended up reimaging my steamos deleting everything and started from scratch totally wasting my time.

Windows is 4gb, so 256gb is enough for launchers and games

Install the drivers from the SteamDeck site.

​@MikeTheTech ty and when I installing clover last step enter password keep saying wrong password is there anyway I can reset password?

Glad it helped you out!
