Henties Posted October 20, 2025 Author Share Posted October 20, 2025 @cfmwanthanks, will however continue using my method which is logging out of my Apple account and once the Tahoe upgrade is done login again. No third party stuff needed, have just now completed another Comet Lake hack based on that procedure.

Henties Posted October 20, 2025 Author Share Posted October 20, 2025 (edited) @allMy three upgrades from Sonoma to Tahoe have been completed successfully. It involved 2 Comet Lake and one Alder Lake system. For audio I use Airplay via AppleTV 3 devices of which I had some lying around. The only optical problems I still encounter is that on the Comet Lake hacks the "picker icon" on the respective OC boot selection screen still shows Sonoma instead of Tahoe. The OC boot selection icon for the Alder Lake hack is showing Tahoe, therefore no problem there. Not sure where to change what for the boot icon name to show correctly. Perhaps somebody can provide a hint where/how to solve this, perhaps a setting in the OC config.plist file. On Alder Lake I get a memory mismatch notification after login, but cannot find anything wrong, booting into Sequoia does not show that message. I general I am quite happy with the performance and stability of this relatively new incarnation of Apple's latest (last for Intel based mobos), macOS incarnation.

Maybe you need to map your memory? https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/memory.html 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/361856-inhibit-file-vault-creation/page/2/#findComment-2842551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsx48 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Guys I'm having a somewhat related issue so want to ping here Updated from Ventura to Sequoia. Filevault on. But stuck on "estimating time remaining" apfs list says filevault is on and doesn't give a %. But sudo fdesetup disable gives -69595 which is in progress. Same in recovery mode. Just tried adding apfs_aligned.efi and disabling Jumpstart. But no change. Maybe I need to terminal to encrypt again, or maybe fdesetup sync, something like that? Not sure. Any ideas?

verdazil Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 @swordsx48, encryption has no benefit on a Hackintosh. Therefore, it's best to disable it first and then update. If you had a backup of your installed system, you can fix the issue. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/361856-inhibit-file-vault-creation/page/2/#findComment-2847787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post #7 in this thread And there is a good way to not allow encryption at all. But it should be set in a bootloader before you install or update the system else it is too late. If you already fall into encryption then my apologies and best wishes. Read post #7 again. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/361856-inhibit-file-vault-creation/page/2/#findComment-2848236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsx48 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I found the solution. It was a bit late and I had already wiped it. But there's an opencore quirk or something, it's in propertree, to allow filevault with lowered sip. That's the one. Then there's also one to allow root patching with filevault on.
