ANNOUNCEMENT A Welcome to macOS 15 Sequoia

190 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!

ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

145 Upvotes

Hackintoshing lives for another year! macOS Tahoe will be the FINAL release for Intel Macs, as stated during the Platforms State of the Union presentation. It's been a good ride.

Officially supported Intel models:

  • MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019)
  • Mac Pro (2019)
  • MacBook Pro 13-inch, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports (2020)
  • iMac (2020)

Hello I am a Year Number Lover But What Does This Mean

All graphics that worked in Sequoia should work in Tahoe.

OCLP

Wait for an official announcement. If you post about OCLP before that I am going to send Tim Apple to remove every Mac from your house.

Can I emulate ARM macOS 26 on x86?

No.

Can I run ARM macOS 26 on a Raspberry Pi?

No.

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

No.

Does it boot on Intel Hackintoshes now?

Yes, with a custom Opencore build linked here: (requires GitHub account to access)

https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/actions/runs/15548251082/artifacts/3292569096

Replace your existing Opencore.efi with the one from the download link. Make sure that your current configuration works for OC 1.0.4 first (OCValidate is a good tool to verify.)

Make sure you include -lilubetaall in your boot arguments.

Known Issues as of Beta 2

  • Race condition with VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C, so on some boots they don't initialize properly
  • AppleALC is broken because AppleHDA was removed from Tahoe. Use HDMI/DP audio for the time being.

  • WhateverGreen is bugged on AMD cards, so you can't use boot arguments like agdpmod=pikera. You are affected by this if you get a kernel panic with AMDSupport mentioned.

  • IntelBTPatcher causes kernel panics

  • IntelMausi may not work correctly with certain Intel ethernet chipsets

SOLVED ASUS Z390-A Prime, 9600K CPU, macOS 15.6.1, unable to boot since updating BIOS

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I think I need some help on this one - for context, I sold someone a solid Hackintosh in 2021 and he mailed it to me recently to do a lot of updates, and basically a "tune up". His USB ports were inconsistently responding since updating to macOS 15.5, from Ventura 13.7.7, so the main goal was to sort that out while doing other things.

Everything was going great, I was about to consider things all solved and ready to go, but then I did a BIOS update from version 1802, to 2101. It succeeded as normal, and I had to manually set the BIOS settings back to how they were (which also seems fine).

Now I cannot boot into macOS, or macOS Recovery. It always seems to be stopping on AppleCredentialManager, can anyone help me get this booting again? I'm sure I'll figure it out one way or another.

HELP Help on Dell E5550

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Thanks in advance for any help 😃

Trying to install MacOS on my Dell E5550. (5300U w/ Intel graphics).

I made the USB stick using the Windows process, pasted the contents of SkyrilHD's EFI into the root of the drive, modified BIOS. The picker was not showing "Install MacOS" but whenever I press space bar, it would show an icon with a gear and the volume label of the drive and dmg. Whenever I start this icon, the apple logo appears, after a while a progress bar shows up, advances a bit but freezes.

Tried a fresh install both on Sequoia and Monterey

Am I missing something? I much appreciate any help on this

HELP 6800xt from asrock not utilized at 100%

3 Upvotes

Hello, sonoma here, latest. 14700kf, msi z690 unify, 64gb ddr5 6200. Everything works, open core and latest kexts.

Dual boot with different nvme, 1 for macos with opencore. 1 for win11

I benchmarked both systems. On mac os and win , cinebench single and multicore are the same.

For gou insted, windows use it at 100%, mac os only a 70/80%. In fact cinebench gpu test is 30% lower on mac os.

What could be the problem? It’s obviously not hw related, there is something wrong on software side.

All kexts, bios are updated. Temps are ok.

Any hint? Thank you

After I took 9 years break from hackintoshing in general I diceded to try it again. (I am going to admit a lot has changed and I was a bit rusty).

What works:
- basically everything
- sleep
- iCloud services, iMessage

Broken:
- WiFi ? (I mean bluetooth works, airdrop works, all handoffs works, wifi does see all the networks around me but for the love of god it refuses to connect to any of them - wifi extension exited error) I think this must be a related hardware issue as the same happens in windows for whatever reason.. Thats what i get for trying to save myself few weeks of shipping and ordering from a random local guy..

HELP Still worth it?

Hello all. I'm a comp sci major and per the new school semester, I am required(?) to take an Apple development class, which requires Xcode and thus a Mac. I didn't look into my class requirements ahead of time so I'm unable to do any assignments away from the school's lab. Mac devices are insanely overpriced, but I am willing to invest in a Mini if I am unable to somehow turn my laptop into a hackintosh.

After scrolling through the sub for a bit before posting, I see a great number of people throwing in the towel and buying Mac products. What's the reason behind this? And would it prevent me from using my laptop for my coding?

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
