willwills90 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi Everybody, This is my first post so hope its ok, anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WillWills' Hackintosh Guide ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What You Need: USB stick A computer that you are able to use, preferably with OS X installed Internet connection How to fix Hackintosh locked via iCloud website Step 1. Backup Data (Optional) So, first we need to backup our data, to do this, we need access to our system that we are locked out of, this is a temporary fix and may or may not work for you but here is how you do it: Boot Into Your Bootloader Boot Using The Boot Flags -s and -v When You Get To Bash, type "nvram -c" without quotation marks Now Type "exit" Without Quotation Marks And You Should Be Able To Access Your Old Files Step 2. The Fix This is the easy part, all you need to do is download the latest version of your BIOS and flash it (make sure it erases and resets everything) now you will either have access to your hard drive or you will have to do a clean install of OS X ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank You For Reading ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304561-guide-how-to-fix-hackintosh-locked-with-icloud/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirusX Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Why can't you just log back in with your apple ID/ PIN code when you have locked your device yourself? Or is that for when you have found/stolen an computer with an iCloud lock like with iOS devices?

VirusX Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 oh wow, that would be a big fail from apple and should be fixed. Maybe try to tell Apple (emails, calls, write in apple support forums)?

Maybe try to tell Apple (emails, calls, write in apple support forums) i called apple and we ended up with i have to take the iMac (hackintosh ) to apple store which is no way to happen but i think this is the only method to solve it http://www.ernieflores.net/osx-page-5/recovering-a-lost-firmware-password/ but won't work in hackintosh 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304561-guide-how-to-fix-hackintosh-locked-with-icloud/#findComment-2121851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
