It seems that Apple has completely locked everything down with macOS Sequoia 15.2. I’ve tried everything, tested every possible terminal command up and down, but the system refuses to grant any access to write to system-related directories. If anyone has an idea on how to solve this issue...

Thank you for this info! It really shows how long it’s been since I’ve worked intensively with the newer operating systems. A truly great tool! (y)

Apple made an important change to the file system architecture with the introduction of macOS Catalina: the system volume was split into a "read-only system volume" and a separate, "writable data volume." This measure enhances the security and stability of the operating system, but it...

I can't believe it. The installation of macOS Sequoia 15.2 seems almost complete, and that's with the NVIDIA GTX 1060! I'm not expecting much compatibility, let alone working graphics acceleration for my GPU, but I'm just hoping the installation finishes successfully so I can move on to testing...

The installation via USB installer "Install macOS Sequoia_15.2" fails near the end, approximately 12 minutes before completion, with the error message "An error occurred while loading the update." I need to investigate the cause of this issue. My plan is to re-download the installer from the...

Ah yes, those were the good old days with the brightest minds that shaped the Hackintosh scene of the past. I had previously tried macOS Catalina 10.15.5 as well, but it was also impossible to boot into the desktop. Then I started experimenting, and I began to doubt – the rest of the story you...

This is the AMD Radeon RX 550 (Polaris 21) graphics card with the following PCI device IDs: 1002-67FF / 1682-9550 (Rev FF). The graphics card should be compatible with macOS Sequoia according to the hardware specifications. Edit: This is the same graphics card; however, my version has 4 GB of...

@Law_ri I’ve tried everything and came across a user who mentioned successfully booting their system with almost identical hardware to what I’ve described above. Even in my numerous previous tests, where I only used SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml, as you correctly pointed out, I ended up with the...

@Edhawk Thank you for your thorough research and detailed work! Your analysis of the USBMap.kext, particularly regarding the defined USB ports and the differences in SMBIOS configurations, was extremely helpful. I had completely overlooked this aspect, and your insights clarified many...

I have resumed my attempt to install macOS Sequoia on my system. Currently, I am using an EFI from a user who has nearly identical hardware. His motherboard is the same as mine, but he uses a different Ryzen CPU, a different AMD Radeon graphics card, and Bluetooth devices that I don’t use. The...

Vielen Dank, Edhawk, für das Hochladen des EFI-Ordners. Ich bin gerade online gegangen und lade gerade eine neue Installations-App für macOS Sequoia herunter. Mir bleiben noch etwa 20 Minuten, um den Download abzuschließen. Gestern vermuteten wir, dass die aktuelle Installationsversion von...
