First of all, congratulations on the icon... it's nice.

 

What's the source of that link?
Until a few minutes ago, there was nothing about B5 ... comparing the links, they're different.

So I made some confusion here.
I downloaded it, installed it, and the version appeared as: Version 26.0 (25A5316i)
Sorry.

It's illogical, how is the public beta supposed to be released?
For me, the developer beta 5 was installed correctly, as shown in my picture.

Does anyone know what download link you used?

No one's saying you're stupid, just that whoever posted the link on Hackintosh.de must have made a mistake ... it happens
I haven't checked, but apparently  @webipsum  yes , and it refers to Beta 4.

 

I repeat, until a quarter of an hour ago there was no trace of the Beta 5 Full Installer

That can't be true, my dear friend Anton...
You can see from my photo that it's the real beta 5 developer.

And I downloaded and installed it from this link on hackintosh-Forum.de

it was absolutely the right link and not an error!

 

And where did you find "no trace"?
Where were you looking?

You can forget about "M*i*s*t" and "Download Full Installer" and "Mr. Mackintosh" anyway.

Before they show anything, a real paying developer will have long since published a working link,

even though Apple actually prohibits it.

So, If the OCLP team cannot get the BCM wifi working, how many of you will still stick with Tahoe and give up on BCM Wifi for apple airdrop features etc or just go back to Sequoia. I know if Airdrop cannot work by the time Tahoe is fully released, I will just go back to Sequoia.

Hi everyone, does anyone know what to do in this situation regarding FileVoult? To run a terminal in recovery mode or via the secondary operating system, it should say "Yes LOCKED", but my situation is as shown in the image.

[Anto65]

It should be ok, when it's stuck it's like this

 

[arsradu]

For people having issues with FV in Tahoe, you could try this:

1. disable EnableJumpstart in config.plist > UEFI > APFS

2. download apfs_aligned.efi from here.

3. place it into OC > Drivers

4. add it to config.plist, as well.

5. reboot and see if you can login.

 

After you're back into the system, disable FV from System Settings.

 

Always have a backup EFI, on a bootable USB drive, with a working configuration, or a way to access the EFI to change back the setting in case you get stuck outside.

Unfortunately, it's not ok, it's stuck like this. It won't accept either a password or a key, and I can't get into Tahoe. I'll try @arsradu 's suggestion now

[Anto65]

Okay, before it was a different image, now it's blocked.
If you can't solve it as suggested by arsradu, try unlocking it from Recovery or another system.

Thank you so much, It worked, but there's something very strange going on. When I close filevoult, it asks for confirmation and then stays open again. When I look at it from the terminal, I see the percentages of the password decryption. I'm waiting for the process to be completed.

[Anto65]

Let it complete, do not restart

Thanks @Anto65 and @arsradu . I waited for the process to finish and reverted the changes I made in the EFI and the problem was solved. 🙃

It detected beta 5, the strange thing is that it starts at 16GB.

Did you forget to turn off Bluetooth? If you did, it will update in small increments. If you didn't turn it off, it will update to the full 16GB.

I can report partial success.
I was able to restore the sound by reinstalling the KDK in Library/Developer and then reinstalling SimplyLoader 1.0.1 (multilanguage)

from laobamac. After restarting, the sound was fine again.

 

But the issue with the iconserviceagent, with almost 800% CPU usage, still persists, slowing down the entire system considerably.

Does anyone have any idea where this is coming from?

 

And just like before, the lack of graphics support makes it no fun to work on this macOS.

 

No such issues on my fully supported 2019 MacBook Pro (16-inch).
