Hello. Update your injected kexts to latest version if required and add boot arg -lilubetaall to be on the safe side. Set SecureBoot mode to disabled, I think it remains required for installations. If necessary, adjust your SMBIOS to that of a supported model. Other than that, you should be good to go.

macOS Sequoia drops this ability to disable Gatekeeper at global level. New paradigm applies. See built-in manual pages.

Released July 10th, 2024. Build 24A5289g. Straight update; no change to the bootpack. Some significant changes to Gatekeeper this 3rd beta: it can no longer be disabled with command sudo spctl --master-disable; the command is deprecated. Apple has decided to drop support for global subsystem assessment which, until now, allowed users to disable Gatekeeper and allow all apps to be run without assessment. See the built-in manual for details (man spctl). https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/systempolicycontrol Here is my revised Clover r5159 setup for my Skylake/HD520 Dell Latitude E7270 laptop, now including the settings to support legacy wireless services after OCLP Modern Wireless Networking root patching. E7270_Clover_pack_Seq_15.0.b3.zip

iPhone Mirroring not working (yet?), no matter the region/country set on Hack and iPhone (upgraded to IOS 18.0 beta of course).

Broadcom wifi now fully operational as detailed here.

The devs have done a good job again and latest nightly builds of OCLP 1.6.0 now provide the fix for Broadcom Wifi in Sequoia. It's basically the same fix as for macOS Sonoma described here. https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/actions For Clover users, once you've run the patcher and applied the root patches (Modern Wireless Networking), make sure to reboot with: Latest AMFIPass kext or boot arg amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 BlockSkywalk kernel & kext patch enabled patched IO80211FamilyLegacy + IOSkywalkFamily kexts as available here (same as required since Sonoma 14.4) Example with my Latitude E7270 fitted with an Apple BCM94360CS2 wireless card: Caution though because the paint still is a bit wet and I've noticed this on a couple of occasions after wake, which required to reconnect manually via the Wifi PrefPane:

This message is usually associated with absence of disk or no boot sector. 1st make sure that the disk is visible/detected in BIOS settings. If it is and it remains non-bootable, you probably did not install your newer Clover version with the suitable settings (legacy vs. UEFI for instance). You'll have to recover your installation through an alternative boot device, whether a USB key or an external USB disk for instance. It dates back to Oct 2019 so it's a bit old now but here, you'll find details of Clover version and Clover settings that I used for Catalina on the Latitude E7250. Then you may look at my E7270 guide for Clover settings used to install more recent versions of Clover and macOS. Recommended BIOS settings for the E7250 (and E7270) are available at the top of the E7xxx forum section.

Hassle? What hassle? Can't see why you'd have much trouble trying to install and run Sequoia beta on your E5470 or on a E7470. No support for legacy Broadcom wireless cards for the moment. See our other dedicated thread on the matter.

Released June 24th, 2024. Build 24A5279h. Available through OTA with @Lorys89's version of RestrictEvents v1.1.4 of June 2024 as long as your Apple account is registered for beta updates. RestrictEvents.kext.zip Failing that, install assistant package is available here. Straight update; a bit long to complete. No changes to bootpack used for beta 1.

Just adapt any/your Sonoma build; it does not require much changes. See my "early feedback" thread where I've detailed things for my Skylake/HD520 E7270.

Updated for 2024.

Updated following release of macOS Sequoia 1st beta.

It should come as no surprise that the same issue that initially affected legacy Broadcom cards in macOS Sonoma now applies to freshly released macOS Sequoia beta. The OCLP tool will need to be updated for Sequoia.

Restoring support for dropped GPUs in macOS Sequoia. It's early days but Sequoia 1st beta did not drop additional GPUs. As such, the same patches that applied to Ventura and Sonoma can be expected to apply to Sequoia. OCLP will require to be updated for macOS 15. Meantime, for Skylake iGPUs, the same good old patches apply to obtain full graphics acceleration in Sequoia beta, i.e. fake KBL graphics.

-> moved to Sequoia beta section. For your touchpad, if you use VoodooPS2Controller kext, you need to replace its VoodooInput plugin by 1Revenger1's version 1.1.5. See my "early feedback and findings" thread pinned in this very section.

List of dropped platforms only extends to Intel 8th gen. Amber Lake MacBookAir8,1 this year, all other platforms officially supported by Sonoma remaining supported in Sequoia. Good news for Skylake platforms: since KBL graphics drivers are retained, SKL graphics remain supported through the same patches used for Ventura and Sonoma. On the wireless front, OCLP patcher will need to be updated for Sequoia so that legacy Broadcom cards are supported again. Other than that, nothing much to report after just a brief spell with Sequoia 1st beta other than it feels a little more responsive than Sonoma and there are odd bugs (for example, an empty white window that may pop up at startup and cannot be closed or occasional mouse selection trailings). Installation on my Skylake Latitude E7270 was very straightforward and totally painless: from Sonoma, I updated Clover to r5159 (revised to boot Sequoia), changed my Clover config's SMBIOS to MBP15,2 (necessary), disabled the BlockSkywalk kernel & kext patch (necessary) and added boot arg -lilubetaall (also necessary). I then rebooted Sonoma, downloaded the Sequoia beta installation package and launched the installation targeting a dedicated Sequoia volume (previously created in Disk Utility). That was it, after a couple of reboots, I was offered the Sequoia setup screens and was presented with the Sequoia desktop. Resources: Sequoia beta 1 installation package can be downloaded here.

We'll have to wait for the OCLP patcher to be updated for Sequoia. Meantime, it's important not to boot with the BlockSkywalk kernel & kext patch and/or with AMFI prevention or Sequoia will KP/fail to boot. Things looking different in System Information->Software->Extensions: injected kexts are listed and everything is listed as loaded.

WWDC Keynote, June 10th, 2024. Apple unveiled macOS 15 Sequoia. As usual, 1st beta version was immediately made available to developers and 1st public beta will be available in July with a final release in the fall. Very little in terms of (exciting) new features in Craig's presentation, apart from iPhone mirroring. Surprisingly, Sequoia only drops support for 2018/2019 8th gen. Amber Lake MacBookAir8,1/8,2 thereby raising the minimum MacBook Air platform to final 2020 Ice Lake-based MBA9,1. The rest of the supported platforms remain identical to Sonoma so we can kind of thank Apple for the reprieve. Who knows whether Apple will chop it all next year or retain only 10th gen. Comet Lake/Ice Lake models next year in Sequoia's successor? KBL graphics drivers remain provided so that'll be good news to all owners of Skylake laptops who should all be able to run Sequoia with full acceleration through the SKL graphics patch required since Ventura. Minimum platform requirements are therefore: iMac19,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake) iMacPro1,1 (Skylake Xeon) MacBookAir9,1 (10th gen. Ice Lake) MacBookPro15,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake) Macmini8,1 (8th gen Coffee Lake) MacPro7,1 (Cacade Lake) View full article

You need to identify where the RTC memory lock variable/parameter is set in BIOS. You may use a BIOS inspection tool to do this and a tool like ModGrubShell or your bootloader shell (eg: Clover's) to change the parameter value once you've identified it. It should be similar to what is done to adjust DVMT size in BIOS. See here and/or here for pointers.

No, absolutely no support for VGA output with HD4000 graphics on the Ivy Bridge E6x30 series since early Mountain Lion versions. See here or here. You would have to use an active HDMI-to-VGA adapter for your VGA-only external screen (passive won't work).

BIOS setting maybe? What do you have configured in terms of, say, USB Wake Support or Legacy ROM?

If you guys have Wake on USB/USB Wake Support (whatever this may be called) enabled inBIOS, disable it. It's known to cause immediate wake on sleep when mains are plugged in.

-> Moved to E7xxx support section. Nothing to do in the Lobby section.
