keep getting stuck in verbose Hi, I'm trying to install Sequoia on my Dell XPS 13 9360. I created my own EFI following Dortania's guide. When I boot from the USB, I cannot get past the verbose codes. It always freezes at different points, but I noticed that it gets stuck at vm_shared_region_start_address() failed the most often. What can the problem be? Screenshot below. https://preview.redd.it/vbbse6p8fojh1.jpg?width=2153&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8923eb4714fb59774d08085aa01f0bd0bf2249f https://redd.it/1vpos8d @r_hackintosh

Stuck at "OS.dmg.roothash" error when booting macOS Installer from OpenCore (i5-12400F, RX 6600, MSI H610M-E) https://preview.redd.it/ywowgc4i6ojh1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=8ade4ed311abb838482d29ffa75d7329c69b3d18 Hi everyone, I'm a first-time Hackintosher trying to build a system with the following specs, and I've hit a wall. I would really appreciate any guidance or ideas on what to try next. **Hardware:** * **CPU:** Intel Core i5-12400F (Alder Lake, no iGPU) * **GPU:** AMD Radeon RX 6600 * **Motherboard:** MSI PRO H610M-E DDR4 * **RAM:** 16GB DDR4-3200 * **SSD:** (Your SSD model here) - NVMe/SATA * **macOS Version:** Sequoia 15.7.9 (24G830) * **OpenCore Version:** 0.7.1 (REL-107-2026-03-20) **The Problem:** I've created a USB installer using the `macrecovery.py` script to download the macOS Sequoia installer and manually set up the EFI folder. When I boot from the USB and select "USB (external) (dmg)" from the OpenCore boot menu, the verbose logging gets stuck and eventually throws the following errors: text #IEB.WL.PWLFW11 Err(0xE) <- RT.GV wake-failure #IEB.WL.DT11 Err(0xE) <- EB.WL.PWLFW #IEB.WL.PWLRTCINONE #IEB.WL.DT11 Err(0xE) <- EB.WL.PWLRTC #IEB.LDL.OFS1OPEN11 Err(0xE) "<usr\standalone\OS.dmg.roothash>" #IEB.RH.LRHIP11 Err(0xE) <- EB.LDL.F #IEB.BST.FBS11 Err(0xE) <- EB.RH.LRH From what I've researched, the key error is OS.dmg.root_hash not being found, which seems to be related to a missing or corrupted USB installer file, often RecoveryImage.dmg and RecoveryImage.chunklist. What I've Already Tried: 1. Re-created the installer: I've run python macrecovery.py -b Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 -m 00000000000000000 download multiple times to re-download the installer files. My com.apple.recovery.boot folder only contains BaseSystem.dmg and BaseSystem.chunklist. The RecoveryImage.dmg and RecoveryImage.chunklist files are never downloaded. 2. Tried different USB ports: I've tried booting from both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on the motherboard and front panel. 3. Formatted USB correctly: The USB drive is formatted as FAT32 with a GUID Partition Table (GPT). 4. Used the correct config.plist quirks: I've set ScanPolicy to 0, ShowPicker to True, and HideAuxiliary to False. I've also included the necessary Kexts and updated boot-args (-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 agdpmod=pikera). 5. Tried the GibMacOS full installer: I downloaded the full installer InstallAssistant.pkg and extracted the InstallESD.dmg file. When I try to copy the contents to the USB using PowerISO, it says there's not enough space on the USB drive, even though the drive is 64GB and has 57GB free. 6. Pressing Spacebar: I've also tried pressing the spacebar in the OpenCore boot menu to show hidden entries, but only the "USB (external) (dmg)" and Windows options appear. https://redd.it/1vpo6jp @r_hackintosh

Looking for testers: expanding fingerprint sensor support beyond VFS5011 Hello everyone. I built VFS5011-hackintosh, an open source fingerprint authentication daemon for Hackintosh machines with a Validity VFS5011 USB sensor. It captures a real fingerprint swipe and uses it to unlock your lock screen and System Settings/Preferences padlocks, instead of typing a password. Project link (Hosted on Github) Since that project got some traction, a few people have mentioned other sensors on their machines (shoutout to the UPEK ThinkPad thread on the OG post!). I want to expand this deliberately instead of guessing, so if you have a Hackintosh compatible laptop with a built in or USB fingerprint sensor that is NOT already a VFS5011 (low chance since VFS5011 isn't widespread), drop a comment with: 1. lsusb (or ioreg -p IOUSB on macOS) output, I need the VID:PID 2. Laptop model 3. Whether you are willing to test a prototype build once I have something working (this means running unsigned code from a USB device on your own machine, standard Hackintosh tinkering risk level, but be aware going in.) Not promising a timeline, but the more sensor variants I know are actually out there with a real person behind them, the more worth it is to prioritize. ## Sensor models I am especially interested in - UPEK/AuthenTec TouchStrip, VID:PID 147e:2016. Already confirmed by a commenter on the OG post, common on ThinkPad T420/T410 era machines with the KUF0452 keyboard. Older protocol, but well documented via existing libfprint drivers. - Validity VFS5011, VID:PID 138a:0011 / 138a:0018. Already supported, this is the baseline. But getting some other tests would help out ALOT - Validity VFS4XXX / VFS0090. Common on newer ThinkPads (T440s and later) and some Dell Latitudes. Different protocol generation from VFS5011, also has partial libfprint support to reference. - Synaptics Prometheus, VID 06cb series, e.g. 06cb:009a, 06cb:00bd. Very common on Dell Latitude/XPS and HP EliteBook laptops from the Ivy Bridge/Haswell era, decent overlap with the Hackintosh crowd's actual hardware. - AuthenTec AES1610/AES2501. Older, but shows up on some early ThinkPad X/T series and Dell machines, same lineage as UPEK post merger, also has legacy libfprint reference drivers. - Egis Technology, VID 1c7a. Increasingly common on newer laptops (some ASUS/HP models), less legacy Linux driver support, so lower priority unless someone shows up with real hardware. I will weight priority by how many lsusb reports actually come in, rather than picking one upfront. Synaptics and UPEK are probably the two likeliest to get real volunteer hardware behind them given how common they were on the exact era of laptops people Hackintosh. Thank you for anyone willing to test and help me grow this project! :) https://redd.it/1vpj95i @r_hackintosh

Best used budget laptop for hackintoshing I wanna make a hackintosh so I can use Xcode but I don’t really have much money to burn. Ideally, I would like to get a laptop that’s below $100 but i dont know what model to look for particularly. If you can help me, i would appreciate it greatly! https://redd.it/1vp8rfi @r_hackintosh

Intel AC-7265D Bluetooth refuesing to work in MacOS Sequoia 15.5 For 2 days I tried to troubleshoot the Bluetooth. I updated every kext, remapped my USBs, and I triple-checked that the USB port that Bluetooth relies on is set as internal. I added `bluetoothInternalControllerInfo` and `bluetoothExternalDongleFailed` to NVRAM, yet it still doesn't work. https://redd.it/1vp0363 @r_hackintosh

Rx 580 English (full combined text): Hey, need some help with an AMD RX580 2048SP (a cut-down/fake Polaris variant, device ID 0x6FDF). I was trying to get it working on a Hackintosh (macOS Ventura/Sonoma) and kept hitting CAIL_ASICSetup() failed (CAILRESULT=1) / initializeAdapter() failed! in the kernel log, even after spoofing the device ID to 0x67DF (RX570) via config.plist. Since software spoofing alone didn’t fix the ASIC init failure, I flashed the actual VBIOS using amdvbflash 3.31 with an RX570 donor ROM (same Samsung memory, 8GB) using -fa -fp flags to bypass SSID/P-N mismatch checks. The flash completed successfully (SSID, DeviceID, and P/N all now report as a real RX570). Problem is, now in Windows the card shows Code 43 (“Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems”) with ANY AMD driver (tried multiple Adrenalin versions, including the exact one for RX570). It only works fine with the generic Microsoft Basic Display Adapter — no code 43 there, device works normally. Also worth mentioning — after the flash, I booted into macOS Big Sur (was working with reduced resolution/no acceleration before the flash) to test, and now I just get a black screen. GPU fan spins up to 100% for a bit, then nothing — no video output at all, whereas before the flash it at least booted to desktop (laggy, no transparency, but usable). So the flash seems to have made things worse in macOS specifically, even though Windows now at least recognizes it as a real RX570 (just with the Code 43 driver issue). Has anyone dealt with this specific situation — cut-down Polaris chip flashed to a “real” card BIOS but still failing driver init on both OSes? Is this a case where the physical ASIC differences make the spoof incomplete no matter what, or is there another fix (different driver version, additional VBIOS edits, etc.)? Also open to just reverting to stock VBIOS if there’s no fix — wondering if that’s the better call at this point. https://redd.it/1voxvx5 @r_hackintosh

Can Apple ban my account for being created on a Hackintosh? Hey so about a year ago I didn’t know much about Hackintosh (still don’t), so I used Hackintosh to try macOS and ended up creating my Apple ID there. I used Clover to get hardware information from a real Mac, including a serial number that matched an actual Mac, and I honestly didn’t really understand the implications at the time. I stopped using Hackintosh around 10 months ago and removed it from my Apple Account’s device list around the same time, so I haven’t used it since. I now use a real iPhone and a real Mac, and everything works normally, but I still have this fear that Apple could eventually ban, lock or restrict my account because of that old Hackintosh usage, even though I haven’t used it in 10 months and it’s no longer connected to my account. Is this something I should still be worried about, or would Apple generally have already taken action if there was actually an issue with the account? https://redd.it/1vox1s1 @r_hackintosh
