I use Opencore, I had perfect EFI for Sequoia but lost it all as a result of file vault enabled by default in Tahoe. So now, I do not know what and how to ⚙️ Fix: the windows server error.
 

I have googled, but no EFI comes close to Hanswell, RX580 on Tahoe. Hence the request.

Enter Tahoe recovery, do commands

diskutil apfs list           -- find your disk4s3 to decrypt

diskutil apfs unlockVolume /dev/disk4s3

diskutil apfs listcryptousers /dev/disk4s3         -- see UUID of the disk owner

diskutil apfs decryptVolume /dev/disk4s3 -user UUID      -- choose right UUID from previous command

caffeinate    -- for the computer will not sleep several hours until your Volume will be decrypted

Use apfs_aligned.efi to be able to enter password

Apply patch in your bootloader to prevent of using FileVault

Using Clover, i don’t need to use apfs_aligned.efi; the patch alone is enough.

But till now no go with windows server crash, tried all the options.

 

@deeveedee you are spot on- probably the only Haswel which survived full intel apple collaboration 🤣
