Couple problems:
Booter Issues:
DevirtualiseMmio
may be taking precious areas in memory that are needed for other uses, you may need to disable this quirk or whitelist the bad regions: Using DevirtualiseMmioSetupVirtualMap
may be needed depending on the firmware, generally this quirk should be avoided but most Gigabyte users and older hardware(Broadwell and older) will need this quirk to boot.- Z490 boards are known to fail with
SetupVirtualMap
enabled, especially on Asus and AsRock boards.
- Z490 boards are known to fail with
RebuildAppleMemoryMap
may not be a fan of your firmware, use of this quirk is dependant on havingEnableWriteUnprotector
disabled andSyncRuntimePermissions
enabled with the addition of having aMemory Attribute Table
in your firmware. If your firmware doesn't have MATs, disable bothRebuildAppleMemoryMap
andSyncRuntimePermissions
then enableEnableWriteUnprotector
.
To verify whether your board has MATs, check the logs for something like this:
Kernel Issues:
- AMD: Missing kernel patches(only applies for AMD CPUs, make sure they're OpenCore patches and not Clover. Clover uses
MatchOS
while OpenCore hasMinKernel
andMaxkernel
) - Intel: Missing CFG or XCPM patches
- Enable
AppleXcpmCfgLock
andAppleCpuPmCfgLock
, this disablesPKG_CST_CNFIG_CONTROL
within the XNU and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement respectively. Not recommended long term solution as this can cause instability. - Alternatively you can properly disable CFG-Lock: Fixing CFG Lock
- Enable
- Intel:
AppleXcpmExtraMsrs
may be required, this is generally meant for Pentiums, HEDT and other odd systems not natively supported in macOS. Do not use on AMD
UEFI Issues:
ProvideConsoleGop
is likely missing as this is needed for transitioning to the next screen, this was originally part of AptioMemoryFix but is now within OpenCore as this quirk. Can be found under UEFI -> OutputIgnoreInvalidFlexRatio
missing, this is needed for Broadwell and older. Not for AMD and Skylake or newer
卡在 [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START]
全称应该是 EfiBoot|#LOG:ExitBootServices:START
,由于 OC 贴近底层,所以日志被尽量简化了。
实际上,这和 EndRandomSeed
是完全相同的错误,所以以下解决方案也适用 EndRandomSeed
(日志显示不太一样,是因为 10.15.4 及更高版本更改了调试协议):
有几个问题
Booter 问题:
DevirtualiseMmio
可能占用了其他用途所需的宝贵内存区域,你可能需要禁用这个 quirk,或者把被占用的区域列入白名单保护:Using DevirtualiseMmio 译者注:打开 DevirtualiseMmio,并把 MmioWhitelist 里的两个 Address 地址都启用,就是加入白名单。SetupVirtualMap
是否需要开启取决于固件,一般来说应该避免使用这个 quirk,但大多数技嘉用户以及旧硬件(Broadwell 及更旧的平台) 需要这个 quirk 才能启动。- Z490 主板在 启用
SetupVirtualMap
后会出现问题,尤其是在华硕和 AsRock 主板上。
- Z490 主板在 启用
RebuildAppleMemoryMap
它可能不喜欢你的固件。是否使用这个 quirk 取决于您是否禁用了EnableWriteUnprotector
和是否在固件里有Memory Attribute Table
的情况下开启了SyncRuntimePermissions
。如果你的固件没有 MATs,请禁用RebuildAppleMemoryMap
和SyncRuntimePermissions
, 开启EnableWriteUnprotector
。
译得不好,放原文: * RebuildAppleMemoryMap
may not be a fan of your firmware, use of this quirk is dependant on having EnableWriteUnprotector
disabled and SyncRuntimePermissions
enabled with the addition of having a Memory Attribute Table
in your firmware. If your firmware doesn't have MATs, disable both RebuildAppleMemoryMap
and SyncRuntimePermissions
then enable EnableWriteUnprotector
.
验证你的主板有没有 MATs,检查日志是否有如下
1 为有,0 为没有,没有日志的请使用 Debug 版本且把日志级别调高
Kernel 问题:
- AMD: Missing kernel patches(只适用于 AMD CPUs, 请注意我们是 OpenCore 而不是 Clover。 Clover 用的是
MatchOS
而 OpenCore 用的是MinKernel
和Maxkernel
) - Intel: 丢失 CFG 或 XCPM patches 补丁
- 开启
AppleXcpmCfgLock
和AppleCpuPmCfgLock
, 这个开关会分别禁用 XNU 和 AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement 中的PKG_CST_CNFIG_CONTROL
。不建议用于作为长期方案,因其会引发不稳定情况. - 另一个方案是适当地禁用 CFG-Lock: Fixing CFG Lock
- 开启
- Intel:
AppleXcpmExtraMsrs
可能需要, 通常用于奔腾、 HEDT 以及其他macOS不支持的古怪系统。 不适用于 AMD
UEFI 问题:
ProvideConsoleGop
您可能忘记了这个选项,该选项是过渡到下一屏所必须的,这原本是 AptioMemoryFix 的一部分但现在内置在 OpenCore 里的这个 quirk 了。 选项位于 UEFI -> OutputIgnoreInvalidFlexRatio
在 Broadwell 及更旧平台上要 开启。 不适用于 AMD 和 英特尔 Skylake 及更高平台

Main things to check:
- ScanPolicy set to

to show all drives - Have the proper firmware drivers such as HfsPlus(Note ApfsDriverLoader shouldn't be used in 0.5.8)
- Set UnblockFsConnect to True in config.plist -> UEFI -> Quirks. Needed for some HP systems
- Set
UEFI -> APFS
to see APFS based drives:- EnableJumpstart: YES
- HideVerbose: YES
- MinDate:
-1
- MinVersion:

Black screen after picker
This is due to missing ConsoleGOP, enable it under your config:
UEFI -> Output -> ProvideConsoleGop
Another possibility is that the problem occurres due to RebuildAppleMemoryMap
being enabled, disable it under your config:
Booter -> Quirks -> RebuildAppleMemoryMap
If this doesn't help, grab the debug versions of OpenCore.efi
and BOOTx64.efi
and replace them in your EFI. This will show much more info on where your hack is actually getting stuck.
Stuck on OC: OcAppleGenericInput... - Success
So this isn't actually an error, instead OpenCore isn't showing you all the debug info. This is right before/while the kernel is being loaded so things we need to check for:
- Intel:
- CFG-Lock disabled in the BIOS or
AppleCpuPmCfgLock
andAppleCpuPmCfgLock
enabled under Kernel -> Quirks
- CFG-Lock disabled in the BIOS or
- AMD:
- Verify you have added the correct kernel patches to your config(remember, OpenCore patches use
MinKernel
andMaxKernel
while Clover hasMatchOS
)
- Verify you have added the correct kernel patches to your config(remember, OpenCore patches use
If this doesn't help, grab the debug versions of OpenCore.efi
and BOOTx64.efi
and replace them in your EFI. This will show much more info on where your hack is actually getting stuck.
Stuck on OCB: OcScanForBootEntries failure - Not Found

Stuck on OCABC: Memory pool allocation failure - Not Found
This is due to either incorrect BIOS settings and/or incorrect Booter values. Make sure config.plist -> Booter -> Quirks is correct and verify your BIOS settings:
- Above4GDecoding is Enabled
- CSM is Disabled(Enabling Windows8.1/10 WHQL Mode can do the same on some boards)
- BIOS is up-to-date(Z390 and HEDT are known for having poorly written firmwares)
Stuck on OCS: No schema for DSDT, KernelAndKextPatch, RtVariable, SMBIOS, SystemParameters...
This is due to either using a Clover config with OpenCore or using a configurator such as Mackie's Clover and OpenCore configurator. You'll need to start over and make a new config or figure out all the garbage you need to remove from your config. This is why we don't support configurators, they are known for these issues

Stuck on This version of Mac OS X is not supported: Reason Mac...
This error happens when SMBIOS is one no longer supported by that version of macOS, make sure values are set in PlatformInfo->Generic

See Fixing KASLR slide values
SSDTs not being added
So with OpenCore, there's some extra security checks added around ACPI files, specifically that table length header must equal to the file size. This is actually the fault of iASL when you compiled the file. Example of how to find it:
The Length
and checksum
value is what we care about, so if our SSDT is actually 347 bytes then we want to change Length
to 0x0000015B (347)
(the 015B
is in HEX)
Best way to actually fix this is to grab a newer copy of iASL or Acidanthera's copy of MaciASL and remaking the SSDT
Booting OpenCore reboots to BIOS
- Incorrect EFI folder structure, make sure all of your OC files are within an EFI folder located on your ESP(EFI system partition)
OCABC: Incompatible OpenRuntime r4, require r10
Outdated OpenRuntime.efi, make sure BOOTx64.efi, OpenCore.efi and OpenRuntime are all from the same exact build. Anything mismatched will break booting
- Note: FwRuntimeServices has been renamed to OpenRuntime with 0.5.7 and newer
Stuck on RTC...
, PCI Configuration Begins
, Previous Shutdown...
, HPET
, HID: Legacy...
Well this general area is where a lot of PCI devices are first setup and configured, and is where most booting issues will happen. Other names include:
apfs_module_start...
,Waiting for Root device
,Waiting on...IOResources...
,previous shutdown cause...
The main places to check:
Missing EC patch:
- For desktops, make sure you have your EC SSDT both in EFI/OC/ACPI and ACPI -> Add, double check it's enabled.
- If you don't have one, grab it here: Getting started with ACPI
IRQ conflict:
- Most common on older laptops and pre-builts, run SSDTTime's FixHPET option and add the resulting SSDT-HPET.aml and ACPI patches to your config( the SSDT will not work without the ACPI patches)
PCI allocation issue:
- UPDATE YOUR BIOS, make sure it's on the latest. Most OEMs have very broken PCI allocation on older firmwares, especially AMD
- Make sure either Above4G is enabled in the BIOS, if no option available then add
npci=0x2000
to boot args.- AMD CPU Note: Do not have both the Above4G setting enabled and npci in boot args, they will conflict. This rule does not apply to X99
- Other BIOS settings that are important: CSM disabled, Windows 8.1/10 UEFI Mode enabled
NVMe or SATA issue:
- Sometimes if either a bad SATA controller or an unsupported NVMe drive are used, you can commonly get stuck here. Things you can check:
- Not using either a Samsung PM981 or Micron 2200S NVMe SSD
- Samsung 970EvoPlus running the latest firmware(older firmwares were known for instability and stalls, see here for more info)
- SATA Hot-Plug is disabled in the BIOS(more commonly to cause issues on AMD CPU based systems)
- Ensure NVMe drives are set as NVMe mode in BIOS(some BIOS have a bug where you can set NVMe drives as SATA)
- Sometimes if either a bad SATA controller or an unsupported NVMe drive are used, you can commonly get stuck here. Things you can check:
NVRAM Failing:
- Common issue HEDT and 300 series motherboards, you have a couple paths to go down:
- 300 Series Consumer Intel: See Getting started with ACPI on making SSDT-PMC.aml
- HEDT: See Emulating NVRAM on how to stop NVRAM write, note that for install you do not need to run the script. Just setup the config.plist
- Common issue HEDT and 300 series motherboards, you have a couple paths to go down:
RTC Missing:
- Commonly found on 300 series and X299/Cascade Lake-X refresh motherboards, caused by the RTC clock being disabled by default. See Getting started with ACPI on creating an SSDT-AWAC.aml
- Some drunk firmware writer at HP also disabled the RTC on the HP 250 G6 with no way to actually re-enable it, for users cursed with such hardware you'll need to create a fake RTC clock for macOS to play with:
Example of what a disabled RTC with no way to enable looks like(note that there is no value to re-enable it like STAS
):
'Waiting for Root Device' or Prohibited Sign error
Generally seen as a USB error, couple ways to fix:
If you're hitting the 15 port limit, you can temporarily get around this with
XhciPortLimit
but for long term use, we recommend making a USBmap. CorpNewt also has a guide for this: USBmap GuideAnother issue can be that certain firmware won't pass USB ownership to macOS, to fix this we can enable
UEFI -> Quriks -> ReleaseUsbOwnership
in your config.plist- Enabling XHCI Handoff in the BIOS can fix this as well
For 15h and 16h AMD CPUs, you may need to add the following:
If XLNCUSBFix still doesn't work, then try the following:
Another possible issue is missing USB ports in your DSDT, macOS isn't great at finding hardware and needs things explicitly defined to it for many things. This means if a USB port is not defined, macOS won't be able to find it. To fix this we use USBInjectAll to fix booting, note that this only works on Intel USB Chipsets and should only be required on Broadwell and older systems(with some newer AsRock boards also needing it)
For AMD users with missing ports in DSDT, you're gonna have to try all the ports in your system and pray, generally 3.1 AsMedia ports work without issue.
On rare occasions(mainly laptops), the SATA controller isn't officially supported by macOS. To resolve this, we'll want to do a few things:
- Set SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS
- macOS doesn't support hardware RAID or IDE mode properly.
- Note drives already using Intel Rapid Storage Technology(RST, soft RAID for Windows and Linux) will not be accesible in macOS.
- SATA-unsupported.kext
- Adds support to obscure SATA controllers, commonly being laptops.
- For very legacy SATA controllers, AHCIPortInjector.kext may be more suitable.
Note that you will only experience this issue after installing macOS onto the drive, booting the macOS installer will not error out due to SATA issues.
macOS installer in Russian
Default sample config is in Russian because slavs rule the Hackintosh world, check your prev-lang:kbd
value under NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82
. Set to 656e2d55533a30
for American: en-US:0 and a full list can be found in AppleKeyboardLayouts.txt. For those using with a simple text editor(ie. UEFI Shell, Notepad++, etc), 656e2d55533a30
will become ZW4tVVM6MA
You may also need to reset NVRAM in the boot picker as well
Still didn't work? Well time for the big guns. We'll force remove that exact property and let OpenCore rebuild it:
NVRAM -> Block -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> Item 0
then set it Type String
and Value prev-lang:kbd
macOS Installer being damaged
If you've download macOS before October 2019, you likely have an expired macOS Installer certificate, there's 2 ways to fix this:
- Download newest copy of macOS
- Change date in terminal to when the certificate was valid
For the latter:
- Disconnect all networking devices(Ethernet, disable Wifi)
- In the recovery terminal set to September 1st, 2019:

Specifically, add the following entry under Kernel -> Patch
:
300 series Intel stalling on apfs_module_start...
Commonly due to systems running AWAC clocks, pleas see the Getting started with ACPI section
Kernel Panic Cannot perform kext summary
Generally seen as an issue surrounding the prelinked kernel, specifically that macOS is having a hard time interpreting the ones we injected. Verify that your kexts are in the correct order(master then plugins, Lilu always being first) and that kexts with executables have them and plist only kexts don't.
Kernel Panic AppleIntelMCEReporter
With macOS Catalina, dual socket support is broken, and a fun fact about AMD firmware is that some boards will actually report multiple socketed CPUs. To fix this, add AppleMCEReporterDisabler to both EFI/OC/Kexts and config.plist -> Kernel -> Add
Kernel Panic AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement
This is likely due to faulty or outright missing NullCPUPowerManagement, the one hosted on AMD OSX's Vanilla Guide is corrupted. Go yell at Shannee to fix it. To fix the issue, remove NullCPUPowerManagement from Kernel -> Add
and EFI/OC/Kexts
then enable DummyPowerManagement
under Kernel -> Quirks

macOS frozen right before login
This is a common example of screwed up TSC, for most system add CpuTscSync
For Skylake-X, many firmwares including Asus and EVGA won't write to all cores. So we'll need to reset the TSC on cold boot and wake with TSCAdjustReset. Compiled version can be found here: TSCAdjustReset.kext. Note that you must open up the kext(ShowPackageContents in finder, Contents -> Info.plist
) and change the Info.plist -> IOKitPersonalities -> IOPropertyMatch -> IOCPUNumber
to the number of CPU threads you have starting from 0
(i9 7980xe 18 core would be 35
as it has 36 threads total)
The most common way to see the TSC issue:
Case 1 | Case 2 |

Keyboard works but trackpad does not
Make sure that VoodooInput is listed before VoodooPS2 and VoodooI2C kexts in your config.plist.
VoodooI2C Troubleshooting
Check the order that your kexts load - make they match what is shown under Gathering Files:
- VoodooGPIO, VoodooInput, and VoodooI2CServices in any order (Found under VoodooI2C.kext/Contents/PlugIns)
- VoodooI2C
- Satellite/Plugin Kext
Make sure you have SSDT-GPIO in EFI/OC/ACPI and in your config.plist under ACPI -> Add in your config.plist. If you are still having issues, reference the Getting Started With ACPI GPIO page.
Kernel Panic on Invalid frame pointer
So this is due to some issue around the Booter -> Quirks
you set, main things to check for:
DevirtualiseMmio
- Certain MMIO spaces are still required to function correctly, so you'll need to either exclude these regions in Booter -> MmioWhitelist or disable this quirk outright
SetupVirtualMap
- required for firmwares that need virtual memory address to be corrected, this is commonly found on laptops and Gigabyte systems
- Note that Icelake's memory protections break this quirks so avoid it
RebuildAppleMemoryMap
- Makes sure the memory map is compatible with macOS, some OEMs like Lenovo do not like this quirk so disable it
kextd stall[0]: AppleACPICPU
This is due to either a missing SMC emulator or broken one, make sure of the following:
- Lilu and VirtualSMC are both in EFI/OC/kexts and in your config.plist
- Lilu is before VirtualSMC in the kext list
- Last resort is to try FakeSMC instead, do not have both VirtualSMC and FakeSMC enabled
MediaKit reports not enough space
This error is due to a small EFI, by default Windows will create a 100MB EFI whereas macOS will expect 200MB. To get around this you have 2 way to go:
- Expand the EFI of the drive to 200MB(See Google on how)
- Format the entire drive instead of just the partition
- Note by default Disk Utility only shows partitions, press Cmd/Win+2 to show all devices(Alternatively you can press the view button)
Default | Show All Devices(Cmd+2) |
---|
DiskUtility failing to erase
This is either 1(or more) of 5 issues:
- Formatting partition and not the drive, see MediaKit reports not enough space
- DiskUtility has an odd bug where it will fail on first erase, try erasing again
- SATA Hot-plug support in the BIOS is causing issues(try disabling this option)
- Old firmware, make sure the drive is on the latest firmware
- And finally, you may just have a bad drive
Broken iMessage and Siri
- En0 device not setup as
Built-in
, couple ways to fix:- Find PCI path for your NIC with gfxutil(ie:
ethernet
, GBE1, ). Then via DeviceProperties in your config.plist, apply the property ofbuilt-in
with the value of01
and typeData
. Hackintool can also grab the PciRoot path if you're having issues with gfxutil. Recommended method - NullEthernet.kext + SSDT-RMNE. Only recommended when first solution doesn't work
- Find PCI path for your NIC with gfxutil(ie:
If these fixes do not work, see the Fixing iServices page for more in-depth guide.
No on-board audio
Refer to Fixing Audio with AppleALC section
BIOS reset or sent into Safemode after reboot/shutdown
Issue with AppleRTC, quite a simple fix:
- config.plist -> Kernel -> Quirks -> DisableRtcChecksum -> true
Note: If you still have issues, you'll need to use RTCMemoryFixup and exclude ranges. See here for more info
The following boot-arg should handle 99% of cases(pair this with RTCMemoryFixup):
If this works, slowly shorten the excluded area until you find the part macOS is getting fussy on
macOS GPU acceleration missing on AMD X570
Verify the following:
- GPU is UEFI capable(GTX 7XX/2013+)
- CSM is off in the BIOS

Apps crashing on AMD
Easy fix, buy Intel
So with AMD, whenever Apple calls CPU specific functions the app will either not work or outright crash. Here are some apps and their 'fixes':
- Adobe Products don't always work
- Some fixes can be found here: Adobe Fixes
- Do note these fixes just disables functionality, they're not really fixes
- Virtual Machine running off of AppleHV's framework will not work(ie: Parallels 15, VMware)
- VirtualBox works fine as it doesn't use AppleHV
- VMware 10 and older can work as well
- Parallels 13.1.0 and older are known to work as well
- Docker broken
- Docker toolbox is the only solution as it's based off of VirtualBox, many features are unavailable with this version
- Xcode Apple Watch simulator is broken in Catalina
- Mojave works fine
- IDA Pro won't install
- There's an Intel specific check in the installer, app itself is likely fine
- 15/16h CPU web pages crashing
- Follow directions here after UPDATE 5: Fix web pages
Sleep crashing on AMD
This is generally seen on AMD who use the chipset's USB controller, specifically for the Ryzen series and newer. The main way to tell if you're having issues with this is checking logs after either sleeping or waking:
- In terminal:
log show --last 1d | grep 'Wake reason'
verify it
Should result in something like this:
```text`
Sleep transition timed out after 180 seconds while calling power state change callbacks. Suspected bundle: com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily.
arise due to VMM
flag being exposed by sysctl.
Apply VmAssetCacheEnable kernel patch to disguise the flag and allow normal operation.
Coffee Lake systems failing to wake
In macOS 10.15.4, there were some changes made to AGPM that can cause wake issues on Coffee Lake systems. Specifically displays hooked up to the iGPU would fail to wake. To resolve this:
- Add
igfxonln=1
to boot-args - Make sure you're using WhateverGreen v1.3.8 or newer
Can't run acpidump.efi
Call upon OpenCore shell:
Fixing SSDTTime: Could not locate or download iasl!

No temperature/fan sensor output
So couple things:
- iStat Menus doesn't yet support MacPro7,1 readouts
- VirtualSMC's bundled sensors do not support AMD
For iStat, you'll have to wait for an update. For AMD users, you can use either:
- SMCAMDProcessor
- Still in early beta but great work has been done, note it's been mainly tested on Ryzen
Note for AMD with FakeSMC:
- FileVault support requires more work with FakeSMC
- Make sure no other SMC kexts are present, specifically those from VirtualSMC
Can't find Windows/BootCamp drive in picker
So with OpenCore, we have to note that legacy Windows installs are not supported, only UEFI. Most installs now are UEFI based but those made by BootCamp Assistant are legacy based, so you'll have to find other means to make an installer(Google's your friend). This also means MasterBootRecord/Hybrid partitions are also broken so you'll need to format the drive you want to install onto with DiskUtility. See the Multiboot Guide on best practices
Now to get onto troubleshooting:
- Make sure
Misc -> Security -> ScanPolicy
is set to0
to show all drives - Enable
Misc -> Boot -> Hideself
is enabled when Windows bootloader is located on the same drive

'You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk' error
This is commonly caused by irregular partition setup of the Windows drive, specifically that the EFI is not the first partition. To fix this, we need to enable this quirk:
PlatformInfo -> Generic -> AdviseWindows -> True
Booting Windows results in BlueScreen or Linux crashes
This is due to alignment issues, make sure SyncRuntimePermissions
is enabled on firmwares supporting MATs. Check your logs whether your firmware supports Memory Attribute Tables(generally seen on 2018 firmwares and newer)
Common Windows error code:
0xc000000d
Booting Windows error: OCB: StartImage failed - Already started

This is due to OpenCore getting confused when trying to boot Windows and accidentally thinking it's booting OpenCore. This can be avoided by either move Windows to it's own drive or adding a custom drive path under BlessOverride. See Configuration.pdf for more details.
iASL warning, # unresolved
If you try to decompile your DSDT and get an error similar to this:
This happens when one ACPI table requires the rest for proper referencing, it does not accept the creation of DSDTs as we're only using it for creating a select few SSDTs. For those who are worried, you can run the following:

No Volume/Brightness control on external monitors
Oddly enough, macOS has locked down digital audio from having control. To bring back some functionality, the app MonitorControl has done great work on improving support in macOS
Disabling SIP
SIP or proper known as System Integrity Protection, is a security technology that attempts to prevent any malicious software and the end user from damaging the OS. First introduced with OS X El Capitan, SIP has grown over time to control more and more things in macOS, including limiting edits to restricted file locations and 3rd party kext loading with kextload
(OpenCore is unaffected as kexts are injected at boot). To resolve this, Apple has provided numerous configuration options in the NVRAM variable csr-active-config
which can either be set in the macOS recovery environment or with OpenCore's NVRAM section(The latter will be discussed below).
You can choose different values to enable or disable certain flags of SIP. Some useful tools to help you with these are CsrDecode and csrstat. Common values are as follows (bytes are pre-hex swapped for you):
00000000
- SIP completely enabled (0x0).03000000
- Disable kext signing (0x1) and filesystem protections (0x2).FF030000
- Disable all flags in macOS High Sierra (0x3ff).FF070000
- Disable all flags in macOS Mojave and in macOS Catalina (0x7ff) as Apple introduced a value for executable policy.FF0F0000
- Disable all flags in macOS Big Sur (0xfff) which has another new flag for authenticated root.
Note: Disabling SIP with OpenCore is quite a bit different compared to Clover, specifically that NVRAM variables will not be overwritten unless explicitly told so under the Delete
section. So if you've already set SIP once either via OpenCore or in macOS, you must override the variable:
NVRAM -> Block -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> csr-active-config
Writing to the macOS system partition
With macOS Catalina and newer, Apple split the OS and user data into 2 volumes where the system volume is read-only by default. To make these drives writable we'll need to do a few things:
macOS Catalina
- Mount drive as writable (Run
sudo mount -uw /
in terminal)
macOS Big Sur
- Mount drive as writable (See below link for command)
- Create a new snapshot after the changes (See below link for command)
- Tag this snapshot for next boot (See below link for command)
