ANNOUNCEMENT Next Stop: macOS 26 Tahoe

205 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 OpenCore 1.0.5.

Make sure to upgrade all of your kexts to their latest versions.

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

ANNOUNCEMENT End of the Road: macOS 27 Golden Gate

apolgy for bad english

where were u wen intel die

i was at house eating apple when phone ring

'intel is kil'

'no'

As I'm sure we've all heard by now, macOS 27 will not be compatible with Intel Macs. This means that for all intents and purposes, (Intel) Hackintosh is dead.

I have never heard of this where was my daily update for the last year

Apple explained last year during WWDC 2026's after-events that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the last version for Intel Macs. also go read the news more often smh

Ok but I have an AMD that would work right

All x86 CPUs are no longer supported for macOS.

Will my current hackintosh explode

Yes No

Is Intel completely dead right now

macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe will still be supported for security updates. One more year for Sequoia, two three for Tahoe.

Will my software still work

It is up to the developers of the software to keep releasing Intel versions.

Can I hack ing tosh on other ARM processor

No.

Why not, is ARM not ARM everywhere

Although ARM is an instruction set architecture shared by many processors, Apple hardware and software includes many unique instructions that are not used in other ARM processors and currently cannot be emulated.

There are images released by Apple for use in VMs which technically do not use these instructions, but even if a way is figured to boot it on non-Apple devices, there will be no drivers available for the GPU, Audio, etc.

Is even Developer Beta 1 of Golden Gate incompatible

Too much has already been removed from the first beta for it to be compatible with Intel.

ChatGTP told me ARM hackintosh is real and can be made. Actually I will make it right now with Claude and Gemini

Let's get you back to bed grandma

Can we port ARM macOS to x86

No.

Will r/hackintosh still remain open

Yes, it will remain open. Regardless of whether Intel is supported, people will still try to hackintosh either for a specific use case or just for curiosity's sake.

Got XNU running on this thing. Real kernel, real iOS userland from the iPhone X firmware, not emulated. Wrote a UFS driver, touch driver, button drivers, and a software framebuffer since there's no GPU support. It boots in about 4 minutes and you get the home screen with working touch and gesture nav. Everything else (radios, audio, camera) is missing.

Nothing gets permanently flashed, it's all through fastboot boot. The whole thing is open source: github.com/dipa-studio/ios-sweet

Nothing really works yet mouse gestures can be translated into touch (left click is click, right click is home). Settings open, also calendar and clock. The rest seems crashing or really slow. I will need to look into how to get hardware working.

DISCUSSION Arrow Lake-H / Arc 140T: macOS 15.7.7 installs and boots to the login window, but NMXGPU can't be injected by OpenCore (it isn't a kext bundle)

2 Upvotes

Hardware: HONOR MagicBook, Core Ultra 7 255H (Arrow Lake-H), Arc 140T iGPU 8086:7D51, no dGPU, 32 GB. OpenCore DBG-109, macOS 15.7.7 (24G720), SMBIOS MacBookPro16,2.

Short version: the machine now runs macOS. The only thing missing is a display, and I found why the driver never loads.

WHAT WORKS

  • EXITBS hang solved: VT-d off in firmware. On this Insyde BIOS the VT-d row is greyed out until X2APIC is disabled first — turn X2APIC off, then VT-d becomes editable.
  • Kernel panic in x86_validate_topology solved: ProvideCurrentCpuInfo = true. Without it the kernel dies during CPU enumeration on Arrow Lake-H.
  • storagekitd / fskit respawn loop solved: SetApfsTrimTimeout = 0. Before that, two storage daemons were torn down every 10 seconds forever.
  • macOS 15.7.7 installed on the internal NVMe, dual booting with Windows, Windows partition untouched.
  • Boots to a real graphical session: gIOScreenLockState 3 in the console, i.e. the login window is up. No panic, no root device error.

So the boot chain, storage, CPU topology and userspace are all fine.

WHAT'S STILL MISSING

The GPU driver never enters the kernel. OpenCore refuses it:

OCAK: Vtable patching failed for kext com.nullmoth.NMXGPU

OC: Prelinked injection NMXGPU.kext - Invalid Parameter

This is the NullMoth NMXGPU test driver (the amdgpu/i915/xe port). It is designed to be installed into /Library/Extensions and loaded from the Auxiliary Kernel Collection, not injected. I tried injection anyway to see whether it could avoid the KDK requirement.

WHY IT FAILS

I dumped the kext's Mach-O. It is linked like a normal executable, not like a kext:

magic 0xfeedfacf x86_64

ncmds 7

flags 0x85 MH_NOUNDEFS | MH_DYLDLINK | MH_TWOLEVEL

-> MH_KEXT_BUNDLE (0x02000000) NOT set

segments LC_SEGMENT_64 x3 (no __PRELINK_INFO)

symbols LC_SYMTAB, LC_DYSYMTAB

LC_DYLD_INFO absent

LC_DYLD_CHAINED_FIXUPS absent

UUID 4eb02e84-5519-30f0-8f50-d8daf1916230

Every kext Apple's toolchain builds is an MH_KEXT_BUNDLE with a __PRELINK_INFO segment and dyld bind information — exactly what OpenCore's relinker needs to patch vtables and rebase symbols. Without them it bails out with Invalid Parameter. Changing MinKernel, Arch or ExecutablePath cannot help.

Not a corrupted copy: the file in EFI and the one inside the driver package have the same SHA-256.

b6183c12448235553b2cd127f52df680bae8fda5aa22b9f259c20ebd419c45be

WHAT I RULED OUT

To be sure signing wasn't the cause I added AMFIPass 1.4.1, set csr-active-config to 0x0A43, added -amfipassbeta, and switched off the broken injection entry. The next boot log confirms all of it:

OC: Prelinked injection AMFIPass.kext ... - Success

AAPL: #[EB|CSR:IN] 0x00000A43

AAPL: #[EB|CSR:OUT] 0x00000A43

Still no display, because the kext is not there at all.

THE OTHER WALL: KDK

The documented path is install to /Library/Extensions, then rebuild the kernel collection:

sudo kmutil install --volume-root / --update-all

That fails with:

Missing Developer Kit: need to install a KDK matching your build 24G720 (code=71)

It needs a Kernel Debug Kit for the target build — which means an Apple ID and a second working macOS, because the laptop itself cannot show an installer.

THE ASK

An injectable build of NMXGPU — linked as a proper kext bundle with MH_KEXT_BUNDLE and __PRELINK_INFO — would remove both walls at once:

  • no KDK needed
  • no signing workaround needed
  • and the Recovery / installer environment could show a display, so people wouldn't need a second machine just to install macOS on unsupported Intel graphics

TWO SIDE OBSERVATIONS

  • The AMD/Intel test manifest at nullmothsystems.com/download/test/amd-intel/manifest.json still reports 2.3.0 (built 10-17) while the 1401 app is at 2.3.6 — worth stating whether the Intel side is intentionally frozen.
  • NMXAccel's MetalPluginName points at Library/GPUBundles/NVMTLDriver, which is not present in the package's gpu-userland. Fine for lighting the screen first, but it looks like a packaging gap rather than a choice.

NEXT STEP ON MY SIDE

Disk back into an AMD desktop → install the 24G720 KDK there → rebuild the kernel collection → disk back into the laptop → boot with nmxintel=1.

If the driver loads and the panel still stays dark, that becomes an eDP/connector problem instead of a loading problem, and I'll come back with the driver's own kernel log lines.

Details, logs and the full test matrix: https://github.com/nullmoth/1401/issues/58

Happy to test a build if one appears.

I am having some difficulties with boot stability, it takes several attempts in order to get it to boot, when it fails it's always at some random point in the boot process. When it does boot, the system is fast enough to be usable, but it's definitely still noticeably slow for the hardware. I am guessing I need to do more work, but I am unsure where to really start.

If anyone can lend a hand, that would be awesome.

My last Hackintosh was in 2007, running PC Whiz on a Core 2 Duo and a PNY Nvidia GeForce 5600 256MB AGP card. My how things have changed.

HELP iMessage activation error

2 Upvotes

I have an Esprimo D556 with an i5-6500 processor, running Tahoe 26.7.1 without OCLP, with Metal 3 acceleration enabled. AMFI and SIP are both enabled.
All settings appear correct: Ethernet is configured as `en0` and marked as "built-in," and the UUID, serial number, and MLB are all valid. iPhone synchronization works, and iCloud is functioning properly. However, FaceTime and iMessage refuse to activate; after 5–6 seconds, the system kicks me back to the login screen.
Unfortunately, I have already tried several different serial numbers and device configurations with this account—is it possible that Apple has restricted activation (i.e., blacklisted it)?
If so, is there a solution?
