OC-tool producing boot0af error about oc-tool

Nope, I have no idea why an incomplete 9 month old prebuilt plist is giving you trouble booting. Sorry.

I'm sorry, did I upset you somehow and why did you answer this way? I'm just trying to help others too with similar trouble with a very widely used config. I am happy to help and do anything you might suggest in order to figure out proper repairs. This plist is working properly and I'm not sure what you're trying to indicate here, so clarification would be helpful.

You didn't upset me at all, I was pointing out a few possible reasons why OC-tool might not be the right tool for you.
While you might get lucky upgrading from one version to the next with minimal input needed by you, upgrading a plist that is ten versions behind is a different story.
If people are using that plist they should really learn how to make one for themselves, because that plist is pretty bad.
It's an old adage in the programming world, garbage in - garbage out, and that plist is pretty much garbage.
Good resources to learn how to make an EFI include this one, which is very well maintained or go to the r/hackintosh subreddit or it's corresponding Discord server
Not really sure what else to tell you and thanks for the offer of help to figure out repairs, but I don't see anything broken. If you have a plist that works without issue on OpenCore 0.7.3 but OC-tool can't make a working EFI then that would be different.

Thank you. I worried from the tone of your reply. I did manage to get it upgraded by using the example here https://github.com/blacklizard/Hackintosh-Opencore-Guide-HP8300-SFF-i5-3470-Catalina.

I then ran it through the GUI OpenCore Configurator to update it and compared the results with a config.plist generated by OCLP. I changed some of the settings to be more sane from that.

I found that an external USB flash drive booted fine, but the main drive EFI would not and could not until I reset the nvram settings. This seemed to get things to start working correctly.

I will try to test OC-tool again after things settle down with the start of school! I just needed to get things updated before classes start.
