bryan51 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 You cannot disable SIP. You can go through the motions with csrutil disable in Recovery and it looks successful but once you boot back up your app that needs it off still won't work! I don't know why no ones talking more about this but if i'm missing something please let me know.

Avery B Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 What bootloader are you using? It may be overriding whichever value you set in recovery. If using OpenCore, I'd make sure you don't have the csr-active-config under NVRAM->Delete Make sure also to use `csr-util disable --no-internal` to make sure updates still appear. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349465-sip-is-broken-on-monterey/#findComment-2770642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan51 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'm using Opencore 7.5 car-active-config is not under Nvram- Delete. I can toggle SIP from Opencore GUI and the involved app will show on the menu bar except you can't access it. And if I bypass Opencore and go into recovery mode it's the same story. Are you saying that you can turn off SIP successfully?

Then in OS Recovery>> csrutil disable --no-internal with Terminal Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349465-sip-is-broken-on-monterey/#findComment-2770696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that you can turn off SIP successfully? If you set a variable in NVRAM (`nvram hello=world` for example) and then reboot, does the variable appear when you run "nvram -p | grep hello"? If this doesn't work, can you list CPU/motherboard?

bryan51 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 It appears to work: bryan@iMac ~ % nvram -p | grep hello hello world I did have to set the variable in Recovery mode. I've also as mentioned above removed csr-active-config from NVRAM. Add and Delete. This was working fine back with Big Sur Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349465-sip-is-broken-on-monterey/#findComment-2770699 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you need to check if it's under Nvram-Add, and if it is, it's setting that value always on boot. Delete the csr-active.config from the Nvram-Add and then whatever you set on recevery mode with csrutil will be saved and used on next boot.

Recovery shows it's disabled and the app, Xtrafinder, is in the menu bar on startup running except there is no finder window and I have to restart the Mac Finder. By the way I installed Big Sur on a free drive and it's working there just fine.

Guest 5T33Z0 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 @1Revenger1 Just to be clear: having csr-active-config in the "Delete" sectiion removes the current entry BEFORE the new one is written! Otherwise you need to do am NVRAM reset everytime you change csr-active-config in the Add Section. So having this entry present in the "Delete" section is not a no-no, due to the order of operations: delete is performed first, then add is processed.

I'm aware, but having it under delete would overwrite anything you set using csrutil in recovery, which is what they were asking about.
