    Booting into the prohibited symbol

    Hey again! Software updating works well, also the audio is fixed for now. Only issue im having is when i plug in a usb-a in one of the front ports of my pc case the audio only plays left or right. Same things happening when i plug something in the front usb-c port, except the audio just cuts out...

    Hey Ed, just wanted to update you on the situation. The reinstall went smoothly and i had no problems with FileVault this time. Now im dealing with the broken iServices, as Apple Music let me log in with my apple id, but the others, like Calendar and Messages, just send me to a login window in...

    Booting into the prohibited symbol

    Sorry to bother but do you know a fix for the os not accepting your password? I want to know if i have to reinstall fully. And is there a possible fix, because i assume if i reinstall the os the same exact thing will happen after the first shut down. The pictures from my macbook running...

    Booting into the prohibited symbol

    Well i restarted the Hack and something familiar happened. When im in the Login window before the system actually starts up, a password is needed for the hack to be unlocked. When i was installing with oclp on a mbp from mid 2010 the same thing was happening - when i type the correct password...

    I want to use the 1TB Silicon Power SSD. An HDD wont do much today, i just have it for extra storage. Last time i recreated the whole installer drive was when i started using one for 26.3, which is precisely when i sent my last bootable EFI configuration. Is it reallynecessary to remove the...

    Hey, new things happen again. The bootloader is fast again, i even have OpenCore set as my first boot option when i checked in my BIOS. Thanks for whatever you did! This time i was greeted with "The operation could not be completed. (com.apple.diskmanagement.disenter error -119930877.)", even...

    Sadly, thats a step back. At least the OC bootpicker and this log appeared really quickly, so whatever you did to the configuration really sped up those processes. Btw, not sure why the image was rotated

    Booting into the prohibited symbol

    Okay so what i did was i used an installer for 26.3 (i was doing everything on a 26.4 before that) which i had on a hard drive, god knows when it was downloaded, and i booted into the installer. Now it was the same process of 5-10 boots to get to the apple boot logo. Progress bar wasnt at the...

    Booting into the prohibited symbol

    I reset the NVRAM a few times already. Did it again and decided to star a fresh install, so i booted into the Installer and reformatted the SSD ill be installing on. The installation starts with no issues. A bunch of restarts later just after the verbose log (the one you see when booting up) i...

    Booting into the prohibited symbol

    Yeah installer is done and a few restarts later im stuck to "A required firmware update could not be installed." I changed the SMBIOS a few times (regenerating the serial etc.) I guess thats the equivalent to this issue from the troubleshooting page...

    Booting into the prohibited symbol

    Right now im at the point where im not sure whether the MMIOs are the problem. I had a different approach this time, having 4/5 MMIO entries enabled and the other one simply deleted from the MmioWhitelist array. I have 3 different outcomes here, which i have listed in the attachment below. I...
