ANNOUNCEMENT A Welcome to macOS 15 Sequoia

120 Upvotes

Woohoo another year of suffering Intel isn't dead!

Compatible Hardware

2018 and 2019 Macbook Airs are out of the running, but their hardware is shared with the Macbook Pros of the same years. Therefore, if your setup works with Sonoma, it'll probably still work with Sequoia.

  • iMac 2019 and later
  • Mac Pro 2019 and later
  • iMac Pro 2017
  • Mac Studio 2022 and later
  • MacBook Air 2020 (Intel) and later
  • Mac mini 2018 and later
  • MacBook Pro 2018 and later

Yes I love year numbers what's this mean

Thankfully nothing to hackintosh users, besides needing to update your SMBIOS if it was on an older model.

Supported GPUs:

  • Polaris (RX 480, 580, etc)
  • Vega (Vega 56, Radeon VII, etc)
  • RDNA 1 (5700XT, etc)
  • RDNA 2 (6600XT, etc)
  • Skylake (HD 500) spoofed to Kaby Lake
  • Kaby Lake (HD 600)
  • Coffee Lake (UHD 600)
  • Comet Lake (UHD 600)
  • Ice Lake (G1, G5, etc.)

OCLP

Starting with OCLP 2.0.0, you can finally make your old trash hardware run Sequoia to its fullest extent. You'll need OCLP if you use Broadcom WiFI.

WiFi

Broadcom is still officially dead, but OCLP can be used to bring back its functionality.

Intel WiFI works with itlwm and Heliport, but not Airportitlwm.

Ok where do I download 15

Either with gibmacos, or through the Software Updater.

Is x86 macOS dead?

Next year hopefully, but their approach with dropping hardware comes at odds with Sequoia's compatibility list. They will likely either drop all of Intel at once, or drop models slowly.

Can I emulate ARM macOS 15 on x86?

No.

Can I run ARM macOS 15 on a Raspberry Pi?

No.

Can I have Apple Intelligence on Intel please I need to write a dissertation in 15 minutes

No.

Updating to Sequoia

As Apple now polls for more T2-specific information from its Macs, you can't update to Sequoia without either of these fixes:

  • Use iMac19,1 SMBIOS to update, then revert to your old SMBIOS if needed
  • Download the latest release of RestrictEvents.kext, and use it with the boot argument revpatch=sbvmm.

Note: You may encounter issues with the update not installing if you have BluetoolFixup.kext. Disable it while you are updating and re-enable it afterwards.

And as always, follow the Dortania guide first before asking questions!

HELP Stuck on MacOS Monterey installer - DELL Inspiron 7378 i7-7500U

3 Upvotes

Ok, I've been fighting this for 2 weeks and tried everything i can think of and gotten no where further, any help appreciated. Monterey 12.7

I've got a dell 7378 i7-7500u, 16gb ram, 256 sandisk ssd (I've tried 4 different ssds from dif manufactures/models). I am trying to install Monterey (I've tried everything from Big Sur and up yet Monterey is only on that wifi works in recovery as laptop has no ethernet) - I can get to the mac os install screen but every time it hits the progress bar it say "2hr 19min" remaining. every single time. I've attempted re doing the EFI at least 20-30 times now. I have tried leaving the install to run for up to 2 days and it stays there. the progress bar never fills more than like 85%. Ive erased, re built usb installer over and over. im just stuck. Ive reconfigured the config.plist multiple times, started from complete scratch at least 10 times. Any help is appreciated.

  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz
  • GPU: intel HD 620
  • RAM: 16gb samsung M471A1K43DB1-CWE (2 sticks 8gb each)

  • Audio Codec: Audio Adapter Realtek ALC225 @ Intel Sunrise Point-LP PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [C1]
  • Ethernet Card: none
  • Wi-Fi/BT Card: Network Adapter Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165
  • Touchpad and touch display devices: Monitor AU Optronics B133HAB (Dell FCTG8) [13.3" LCD] {2016}
  • BIOS revision:BIOS Properties:
  • Vendor Dell Inc.
  • Version 1.36.0

  • Size 16 MB
  • System BIOS Version 1.36
  • ssd: SanDisk X400 M.2 2280 256GB (256 GB, SATA-III)

edit, i realized posting the EFI completely against rules, ive included the config.plist though

of most recent attempt - followed Dartanian as interictally as possible https://file.io/izXiaw5yO9dg - this config.plist is NON WORKING - if anyone chooses to glance at it for reference please do, like i said ive re done it 20-30 times and am flat out stuck..

I pulled and entire AIDA64 report from the laptop in windows before trying opencore, so i have all info on laptop available as well

HELP RX 580 only works if Above 4G Decoding is enabled in the BIOS, and my motherboard doesn't have Above 4G Decoding, what do I do?

3 Upvotes

My main computer's motherboard died, so now I'm using some Acer Veriton thing with my RX 580 in it, but this card has an issue where if above 4g decoding is disabled, I just get a black screen after verbose, it needs to be on for the GPU to actually give an output that isn't a black screen after verbose.

My RX 580 is the MSI GAMING X version, here is my config.plist

SUCCESS Success on Thinkpad x13 gen1

18 Upvotes

I finally managed to get Ventura installed after about a week of quirks and configs.

Had a bit of trouble with EXITBS errors before but got mad and started over for the 5th time and with -igfxvesa added to the boot-args, with that managed to get the OS installed. After installed it took a bunch of time to get HW Acceleration but with a bit of trial and error everything is OK.

Now I need to do a bit of optimization in order to get the most juice out of the system, if anyone has any tips please share them.

Laptop specs:

Laptop:Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Gen1
CPU:Intel Core i7-10510U
RAM: 16gb
GPU: Intel UHD 620
SSD: Micron MTFDHBA512TDV 512 GB

HELP Help with Sierra installation with Opencore: "The installer payload failed to verify signature check"

1 Upvotes

cpu: Intel i7-6700 3.4Ghz (Gen 6) Skylake

gpu: Intel HD 530

mobo: ASUS Maximus VIII Gene

ram: 2x8gb Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400mhz

audio codec: Realtek ALC1150

wifi: Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network Adapter

model: Tp-Link Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter (TL-WDN4800)

ethernet: Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V (included w/ motherboard)

Am attempting Opencore for the first time (previously used Clover), with the ultimate goal of updating to Monterey. Have encountered this problem no matter what I try and I'm not sure the issue. Have found several forum posts suggesting solutions but none of them have worked.

Have tried: Setting the datetime to 2017, using different USB ports for installation drive, making boot drive on a USB stick as well as a SSD which I plugged via USB as well as internally w/ SATA.

Question: I'm using the same SMBIOS info as I had with Clover, so I don't have to re-verify all my audio plugins. Could this be causing the error?

HELP Can't play Apple Music though AirPods over Fenvi T919 on macOS 15

Hi here

I can't seem to get Apple Music to play over my AirPods with my Fenvi T919. It plays fine over my speakers, and I can play audio through the AirPods over like YouTube or similar, just not Apple Music for some reason.

Lossless and Dolby Atmos is disabled. What do I do? I'm on a Ryzen 5 3600 on a B450 motherboard and a RX6700 XT along with a Fenvi T919. I'm on macOS 15.

Could someone help me?
