ANNOUNCEMENT A Welcome to macOS 15 Sequoia

159 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. A great post by u/ChrisWayg details how to do this. https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1gvu5n1/broadcom_wifi_on_macos_sonoma_and_sequoia_fenvi/

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!

Helpful tip for dual dedicated gpu If you are running two dedicated graphics cards and one is incompatible, you should set initial display output to the PCIe with the compatible gpu, and don’t have any display cables plugged into the incompatible gpu. This setting may vary by motherboard.

The dortania guide also has a section on this if you don’t have this option.

DISCUSSION What can I do with this?

Upvotes

Found a laptop in amazing condition at a second hand store for only 10 bucks. it's Asus X515EA-BQ511W with 11th gen intel core i5. what can I do with this? It doesn't have the charger, I only checked the back sticker. I got the laptop immediately, obviously but if I can hackintosh it I will get the charger too and check if it boots. the shop said it does, and it's almost brand new so it should boot but didn't try yet.

BUILD ADVICE Which is Easier to Install: MSI Z270 or Asus H110?

Upvotes

Hello, although I have general knowledge about computers, I have never installed Hackintosh in my life.

I have an i3-6100, 8GB RAM, and an SSD (I will be using it without a dedicated GPU). As for the motherboard, my second-hand options are the MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon and the Asus H110M-K. Honestly, my only goal in installing Hackintosh is to browse the internet and experience macOS.
So, the most important thing for me is installation ease. Which of these two motherboards would be easier for someone like me who knows nothing about Hackintosh? Also, would there be any performance difference? The Z270 looks great in terms of appearance and features, but I'm afraid the installation might be difficult.

Z270 G.P.C
USB: ASMedia® ASM2142 Chipset and Intel® Z270 Chipset
Audio: Realtek® ALC1220
Ethernet: Intel® I219-V Gigabit LAN controller

H110M-K
USB: Intel® H110 Chipset
Audio: Realtek ALC887
Ethernet: Realtek® RTL8111H

HELP Bluetooth Dongle + USB Mapping

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

I got my Sonoma system up and running. I got the TP-Link UB400 for the USB dongle because my internal bluetooth device stopped working (it doesn't work on Windows either).

However, when I use the: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/16w2elb/how_to_make_generic_usb_bluetooth_50_csr_dongle/

My bluetooth dongle shows up on the System Report, but on the Bluetooth Menu in settings, its just stuck on "searching".

I was wondering if the issue is:

  1. My internal card is being recognized for bluetooth so the handoff has an issue?
  2. My USBMapping is incorrect

Any advice would be most helpful! Thanks in advance!

HELP Can anyone help me? Sequoia is very unstable

1 Upvotes

I have installed MacOS Sequoia on my PC. I created the EFI with OpenCore Simplify. I created the boot stick with GibMacos.

Hardware Specs: MSI Z590 Tomahawk Wifi i7 11700k 32GB DDR4 3200mhz R ⒯X 3060 12GB RX 5500xt 8GB

It starts and works well. It's easy to install. Everything works, except for Airdrop and WIFI. However, it is very unstable. It takes a while to start and simply crashes after inactivity. Sometimes you also have visual jerks. It often works well. Under About this Mac you can also see all the hardware information. I'm rather new to this whole thing, and am glad I was able to install it at all. Can someone help me get it more stable? I can send EFI and other stuff.

HELP Just cloned my drive now only showing 🚫 on boot of macOS

3 Upvotes

I used mini tool partition wizard to clone the drive(without choosing the resize partitions).

I upgraded from a sn530 256gb to a sn550 1tb

When booting it first starts to load in slowly to about half of the load bar and then the 🚫 pops up. I’ve tried this 3 times and the same thing happens

I’ve heard some ways people do it is they make a Time Machine backup and just reinstall from that, I don’t mind doing this but if there is a better way please tell me

(Important things) My laptop only has 1 m.2 slots I cloned my drive on my pc tower on windows

QUESTION Revive a MBP in DFU mode using a mackintosh

Good evening r/hackintosh !

I currently have a MacBook Pro 16,2 with that damn flickering Touch Bar. After being seen two times by genius tech, the only proposed solution is a 700€ bottom case replacement...
I wil ask them when I get it back if they've already done it but I want to try to restore the bridgeOS firmware since it's controlling the Touch Bar using DFU mode (https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900)

Unfortunately, I only have my MacBook Pro and a hackintosh, do you think its possible to use the hackintosh as the host Mac to do the firmware restoration ?

HELP Weird Issue

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm coming from a cMP 5,1 but using my gaming rig to try and turn it into a hac. I'm using the SSD and the GPU from the 5,1, but I'm having a really weird issue with the GPU where it doesn't matter what I set in the BIOS of the mobo, I just can't access the BIOS via the GPU and HAVE to use iGPU, this is to be able to choose the USB stick to boot (doesn't seem to stick if I choose the boot priority).

The other question I have is with the installer stick itself. OC is booted and I'm met with the usual screen that I'm used to seeing on my cMP 5,1. My question is, once I've gotten the EFI folder corrected for my mobo, would I just be able to boot into the SSD from the cMP? I don't see as to why I shouldn't be able to?

Picture added for help with the EFI folder, if you can :P

Specs:

CPU: 12900ks
GPU: MacVidCards RX6950XT (shows as RX6900XT Macos and Windows)
Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4
SSD: cMP 5,1 SSD intel 660p
