[pre-release] macOS Tahoe

[MacWill]

@deeveedee Excuse my pretension. I'm using the latest OpenCore and had already been using it to boot Sequoia and Ventura. I installed Tahoe and enabled FileVoult. I was left without access to other systems. I need to complete the initial login on Tahoe to disable FileVoult.

 

@Anto65 😉

config.plist

[deeveedee]

@Anto65 That would be the perfect addition to my hack diagnosis toolkit

Spoiler

 

@MacWill Have you tried booting recovery and disabling FileVault (decrypting your Tahoe volume)?  I posted a solution (from ChatGPT) here that worked for me.

@MacWill ( we're joking of course )

 

If you also have Sequoia or something else installed you can decrypt it from there... much more convenient than from Recovery, tried remotely unlocking a friend's Tahoe drive , successfully

Olá@LockDown,

 

Obrigado pela sua resposta!

 

Aqui estão algumas informações sobre o Beelink Ser 5 com Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200. O Wi-Fi funciona bem usando itlwm.kext combinado com o Heliport. Para Bluetooth, estou usando BluetoolFixup.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext, IntelBluetoothInjector.kext e IntelBTPatcher.kext (todos eles funcionam bem no Sequoia 15.5).

 

You need use only this kexts that @Anto65 said

Stuck here. What could be going on? 😔

Thanks

 

Are you have Thunderbolt ports? Need blocked to boot or some issue with Pcie devices

I feel like I'm taking a trip back in time, when we used these procedures to install kexts on macOSX
Good old days...🙂

Yea, I have a folder full of kexts installers!

I attempted to go cold turkey, but the withdrawal symptoms were unbearable.

Anyway, you're right, miliuco. 😆  there is a lot of meat to cook Between OCLP-MOD , AppleHDA, MyKextinstaller, and VoodooHDA 

 

Anyway, I can confirm that for VoodooHDA, need only
csr-active-config -> 01000000

[miliuco]

So far, I reset Launch Services Database with the command

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -v -apps u,s,l

but in Tahoe, the output is:

The -kill option has been removed because it was dangerous and no longer useful.

Does anyone know how to do this task in Tahoe?

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain use

I've tested version 3 of MyKextInstaller to get back the motherboard's ALC1220 audio.

Everything seems to have worked fine from the app.

With great appreciation for @laobamac_yyds 's work (not tried yet), MyKextInstaller seems like a simple method for accomplishing this task. At least on my system, it worked as expected.

Notes (nothing new, just commenting from my own experience):

• The app doesn't run with Gatekeeper enabled; I disabled it with Sentinel.
• SIP disabled: I have 03080000 but, following @deeveedee, 01000000 may be enough, which only allows untrusted kexts. (he was referring to VoodooHDA).
• KDK (version 25A5279m) may have been previously installed, MyKextInstaller detects it correctly.
• I downloaded AppleHDA.kext from this thread (you uploaded it), and my question is: if AppleHDA.kext isn't available, do I have to run commands to extract it from the KDK? Sorry if what I'm asking has already been answered (I'm sure it has) but I'm having trouble finding it. -> Silly question. I see it's available in /Library/Developer/KDKs/KDK_26.0_25A5279m.kdk/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext.

Thanks for your work.

 

EDIT: 

I have to test on my computer on the NEW: version 2 of the program on a USB-SSD adapter, once I've extracted the kext in question, applehda.kext, and applied it to the program. Since this reminds me of older systems, it makes me feel younger. I have to test if version 3 of the program plus the kext applies the applehda patch and I get sound. The question is, if everything fails, how do I get it back on? The other time, the system kept rebooting.

If you have problems (but I don't think so) you should be able to get it back from Recovery

Fix typo

[webipsum]

Hi.
know the Tahoe is in Beta, so there are bugs!
A curious fact: when the Tahoe wakes up, problems occur, apparently with the resolution.
This doesn't happen on the Sequoia I have in dual boot.

To get it back to normal, I need to restart or log out (and log back in again to get it back to normal).

Does this happen to anyone else?

EDIT: The same goes for application windows.

@arya

It happens to me, after wake-up  drop-down menus does not work properly, when I try to select an item from drop-down cursor does not highlight the selected one etc. As you said, a logout/login is usually solves it. 

[miliuco]

Forgive my ignorance. OCLP nighty build has this contribution. But what is PSPKG?

好的，这令人欣慰，但是当我使用 OCLP Mod 时，TP-Link Archer T2UB Nano 的蓝牙功能无法使用。您可能知道，它是一个 WIFI/蓝牙二合一适配器。您有什么建议可以让 WIFI 和蓝牙同时工作吗？

In theory, macOS will load universal firmware for third-party USB Bluetooth by simply using BlueToolFixup.kext

I booted into sequoia and entered -S -X and successfully booted into tahoe and installed AppleHDA.kext by pulling it from KernelDebugKit and installing it using MyKextInstaller. After that, I removed -S -X and tried rebooting again, but there was still no sound. PS. I installed it wrong. I pulled it from EFI AppleHDA.kext.

Dont make it complicated.

Revert to sealed snapshot. Restart. Run mykextinstallerV3. Done

No need to install AppleHDA yourself

My goal was to eliminate duplicate Open with... entries.
I used -delete and it worked.

OK, that is comforting, but when I apply OCLP Mod, I can not work Bluetooth function of TP-Link Archer T2UB Nano. As you may know, it is a WIFI/BT combo adapter.  Do you have any recommendation to have both WIFI and BT work together ?

 

@dogansan
I have a dual boot with a Sequoia and this doesn't happen.
Considering this is the Tahoe Beta 3, I'll wait for the final release.
Thanks for your reply.
