@pico joe and @naiclub, sorry guys nothing like that on my machine.

All good here.

What about others? No one answered? I want to know if it's just my device or not. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

 

I’ve successfully installed macOS Tahoe Beta 3 on my AMD Beelink SER5. Everything is working smoothly except for Bluetooth, which isn't working.

I’ve tried several suggested methods, including adding bluetoothExternalDongleFailed: 00 and bluetoothInternalControllerInfo: 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000 to NVRAM, but none of them worked.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What BT?

BrcmPatchRAM for Broadcom

IntelBlueToothFirmware for Intel

Hello @LockDown,

 

Thank you for your reply!

 

Here is some information about the Beelink Ser 5 with Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200. The Wi-Fi works well using itlwm.kext combined with Heliport. For Bluetooth, I am using BluetoolFixup.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext, IntelBluetoothInjector.kext, and IntelBTPatcher.kext (all of them work well on Sequoia 15.5).

need kext for intel not BCM

Directions to show CPU name are:

• RestrictEvents.kext
• PlatformInfo -> Generic -> Processor Typer=0
• NVRAM -> 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 -> Add -> revcpu=1 revcpuname="Processor name"
• NVRAM -> 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 -> Add -> remove revpatch=cpuname,sbvmm
• NVRAM -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> Add -> revpatch=cpuname,sbvmm
• NVRAM -> 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 -> Delete -> add 2 items: revcpu and revcpuname

Notes:

• sbvmm may interfere with cpuname
• try setting sbvmm first (revpatch=sbvmm,cpuname)
• try without sbvmm (cpuname only) to check if it can be the issue.

Try and comment.

You dont need BrcmPatchRAM3  & IntelBluetoothInjector

My hack needs WEG for UHD630 framebuffer patching (I don't use headless iGPU) and my RX560x boots to blackscreen without WEG. I can access Recovery in Tahoe Beta 3 (and previous versions of macOS) with WEG.  So far, the only time I need to disable WEG dGPU (using boot-arg -wegnoegpu) is when I install / upgrade Tahoe.

Thanks for the reply.

The WEG requirement for onboard graphics is a definite one. And you're right, of course.

With the Rx590, if WEG is active, I can neither update nor access the recovery disk. However, I can boot the system with the Rx590, with or without WEG.

@LockDown Thanks a lot for your helpful hints! I’ve removed the BrcmPatchRAM3 and IntelBluetoothInjector kexts, and now Bluetooth is working. One more thing, could you please explain how to use USBMap.kext? It doesn't seem to work on macOS Tahoe at the moment.

You have old Usbmap.Kext or USBPorts.kext ?

hello @Anto65, 

I'm currently using an old USBMap.kext that works on Sequoia. I tried generating a new one using USBMap-master, but some USB ports are not being recognized. Unfortunately, I can't use USBInjectAll.kext to create a new map. I'd really appreciate any suggestions you might have to help fix this issue. Many thanks!

[Anto65]

If you've done the mapping in Sequoia correctly and it worked,
You just need to convert the kext for Tahoe.

 

Download  USBMap
Click on USBMapInjectorEdit.command

 

Draft your kext into the terminal and press Enter.

 

Select U Update Keys for macOS 26 (Tahoe).

 

 

You can chance Smbios to by select

Spoiler

 

Neither, but just some weird UI Elements such as non-proportional Windows (I mean "window's") corner edge and Menu Bar's dropdown has blue or pink outline (sometimes), so.. the effect looks like "Plastic Sheet" instead of Liquid Glass #LoL

 

Meanwhile, Onyx 4.9.0 Beta for Tahoe is available :D

@Anto65 Thanks for sharing. Sorry to bother you, but I'm currently stuck. Could you please guide me on the next step to export the USBMap.kext?

Could You Please Share Your EFI. Thanks

 

Did you using the Hp 800 G4 ?

[deeveedee]

@jsl I don't want to add another cook in the kitchen, but you should carefully inspect your config.plist.  

• 'remove revpatch' in NVRAM > Add > 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102' is not a valid property.  It should be 'revpatch'
• You are missing 'NVRAM > Delete > 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 > revpatch

 

Slow down, look carefully at the examples provided and you will succeed.

 

EDIT: Note that you need only

• NVRAM > Add > 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 > revpatch: cpuname,sbvmm

and not the revpatch boot-arg.  Remove 'revpatch=cpuname,sbvmm' from boot-args. 

 

EDIT2: @jsl I performed a quick test to make sure my advice was sound.  Here are my config.plist modifications and the resulting "About This Mac"

This phenomenon often occurs after Tahoe Beta 2 and has been encountered many times. It looks like an issue with AEA decryption, but in fact it doesn't crash. After waiting for 1-3 hours, it will automatically restart and enter the second phase of installation. My Z790 encountered this issue and restarted after approximately 1 hour and 27 minutes

@eSaF and @laobamac_yyds
I was able to install Beta 3 using the same EFI I used for the Sequoia, Tahoe Beta 2, and Ventura.
I just had to uncheck the WhateverGreen.kext (FALSE) and check it (TRUE) after installation.
And patience, lots of patience, because it took 1:23:04:65 to get past the 17 minutes mentioned and 1:32:57:05 to finish.
OMG!
Thank you for your help and guidance.

Yehhh, last night after I pulled the trigger and bought a Mac mini m4, I managed to install macOS Tahoe beta 3, and I installed it with my RX570 and WhateverGreen enabled.

After that tried to cancel the order on amazon, but amazon refused to cancel my order, Saturday arrives my new Mac mini m4, LOL.

I hope that all my troubles with each new macOS ends after that, but it was fun at times, at others frustration and hair pulling was in order, but the most difficult install is this macOS Tahoe.

I still continue to visit this forum because it is always a source of inspiration and knowledge, thank you all.

My financial director definitely rejected my purchase order request of an M4 Pro ...until I clear out the "thousands of bloody computers" from the dining room, utility room, study, loft, down stairs loo (yes I have there too 🤢), lounge and bedroom. 

oh how I will miss all these hackingtoshes 😥
