I've managed to successfully run macOS Sequoia on my Intel i7-7700 PC (as a 2017 iMac). Is it possible for me to upgrade to a newer iMac so I get macOS Tahoe? Will that work fine with my hardware?

How to set up Hackintosh on my config
Hi everyone, I'm new to the topic, so I'd like to ask for some help.
I used to have a Hackintosh before - I had found an EFI file online that worked, but I've changed my computer since then, and now it's no longer compatible.
So if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
My new config:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
GPU: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6600 EAGLE 8G GDDR6
Motherboard: Gigabyte AORUS B550M (rev. 1.3)
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHz

internet recovery stuck macbook pro 2019 error -2003F
Hello !
I'm reaching out because I've been stuck for two days on a MacBook Pro that no longer boots properly. Despite multiple troubleshooting attempts, I haven’t been able to restore or reset it completely. Here's a detailed summary of the steps taken so far:
1. Initial symptoms
On every reboot, the Mac displays a globe icon and asks for a Wi-Fi connection.
Two error codes have appeared repeatedly:
\-2102F: Internet recovery failed.
\-2003F: Also appears to be related to Internet recovery, and occurs much more frequently. This is the main blocking point.
2. Keyboard and boot modes
No key combinations seem to work (Cmd+R, Option, Cmd+Option+R, etc.).
Even attempts to reset SMC, PRAM, and NVRAM (unless done incorrectly, but retried several times) failed.
Only DFU and Recovery mode (when it responds) are functional, allowing the Mac to be connected to another Mac via Apple Configurator.
3. Attempts via Apple Configurator (from another Mac)
Used another M1 MacBook with the latest version of Apple Configurator 2 and a USB-C cable, connecting each Mac on the appropriate Intel/Apple Silicon port.
The problematic Mac is properly detected in DFU mode, and Apple Configurator has displayed statuses such as Booted, DFU, Recovery, and Restore
a. “Revive Device” attempt
Goal: reinstall RecoveryOS only, without erasing data.
Result: failed. The Mac stays on a black screen or returns to the globe screen, without Terminal access. It's stuck indefinitely asking for Wi-Fi.
b. “Restore” attempt
Goal: full reinstallation of firmware + macOS after wiping the device.
Result: the process completes all steps (Preparing, Restoring, even Installing System), but then the Mac reboots to a black screen or the globe again. In Apple Configurator, the DFU status changes to Booted, after which nothing more can be done.
4. Internet connection
The Mac tries to use Internet Recovery, but none of the following networks worked:
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi,
4G/5G tethering via two different smartphones,
Home connection
Ethernet connection (with Ethernet, the globe doesn’t even animate, as if Wi-Fi were required).
None of these networks allowed Internet recovery to succeed — the -2003F error always appears.
5. RecoveryOS not accessible
At no point has it been possible to reach the macOS recovery environment (Disk Utility, Terminal, startup disk selection, etc.). It seems nonexistent.
No access to Secure Boot settings or FileVault configuration.
6. Current situation
The Mac can switch between Recovery / Restore states in Apple Configurator, but never exits correctly.
It always returns to the -2003F error.
Booting from a USB installer isn’t possible, as no key combination allows startup from external media
The 32GB USB installer was prepared on a MacBook, tested with Monterey, Ventura, and Sequoia.
As it stands, the Mac only responds to DFU and Recovery modes, but all attempts to restore it via Apple Configurator have failed or don’t yield a working system.
Any additional suggestions or solutions to try would be greatly appreciated.
Available if needed to repeat some steps live or remotely.
Also, for information: the device is not currently linked to any location services (Find My is disabled).
Thanks in advance for any help,

My 3rd gen i5 hackintosh won't install Mac is Catalina, sequoia or big sur
I got it to get into the installer for sequoia, but as soon as I get to where the setup is the name of my hard drive, it stops. Catalina and big sur won't even get into the installer and get stuck on "dlilattachflowswitchnexus: en0 9000 1500" except for when I turn on virtualization, then it gets stuck on "AppleActuatorDeviceUserClient : :start Entered".

How can I solve this issue?
I'm building a Hackintosh for the first time and it's been quite challenging. I think I've configured everything correctly so far, but I'm having a problem. When I boot from the USB stick with CSM enabled, OpenCore loads but crashes immediately. When I disable CSM, nothing happens. Could my GPU be the problem? I'm using a RX 580 2048SP and I even updated it with a Sapphire VBIOS, but could it still be causing a conflict? After that I can't get back to Windows, my keyboard doesn't work and only comes back after I reset the BIOS, could it be a problem with USB recognition? I downloaded the USBInjectAll kext but I don't know if I configured it correctly.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y2Kzwo6\_V521Bxd67I3\_rID0VMdtY53O/view?usp=sharing
I uploaded the log that opencore created, if anyone can help I appreciate it.

🧵 Wi-Fi incompatibility on ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (Ryzen 7, AX201) Sonoma
I'm running a Hackintosh setup on a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (Ryzen 7 4750U) and have most things working — except for Wi-Fi, which has been a huge pain.
The laptop comes with an Intel AX201 wireless card, and I've tried just about everything with OpenIntelWireless (itlwm.kext, AirportItlwm.kext, HeliPort, etc.), but I can't get it to work properly.
🔧 What I've tried:
Using itlwm.kext + HeliPort → HeliPort shows "itlwm is not running"
Verified that Lilu.kext is loaded
Downloaded the correct variant of itlwm.kext for my macOS version (Sonoma)
Tried AirportItlwm.kext, but no Wi-Fi icon or networks show up
Confirmed kexts are properly listed in config.plist and injected via OpenCore
❓ My questions:
Has anyone gotten AX201 working on macOS with this laptop (or similar Ryzen laptops)?
Is this Wi-Fi card just incompatible with macOS no matter what?

HELP
Hey everyone! 👋
I want to do a fresh Hackintosh install and I’d really appreciate someone helping me out step by step, since I’m not super experienced and I don’t want to mess things up again.
Last time I tried following a YouTube guide, macOS kept detecting only 3 MB of VRAM on my iGPU (I have the Intel UHD 630), and I couldn’t fix it no matter what I did.
If anyone is down to guide me through it, even just the basics to get started right, please comment or DM me — I’d be super grateful 🙏
Here are my PC specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K (3.70 GHz, 6 cores / 6 threads)
iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630
Dedicated GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (I know it's not supported, planning to use the iGPU for macOS)
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B360M-A
RAM: 16 GB
Storage: 500 GB SSD
Looking to install the latest version of macOS compatible with my hardware (Sonoma would be awesome, but I'm open to suggestions).

MacBook Air (A2179, Intel) Broken Display Force External Monitor
I’m seeking technical guidance for a **MacBook Air 13" (Model A2179, Intel, 2020)** with a damaged internal display. While using an external monitor via USB-C/HDMI adapter worked perfectly post-accident, a recent macOS update has triggered a critical setup screen that **only appears on the non-functional internal display**, leaving the external output blank.
https://preview.redd.it/rrw9vbvrumaf1.png?width=676&format=png&auto=webp&s=23461d04e2c66b29ae4b32248ac042dc3580e7f5
# Core Issue:
The system halts at what appears to be a **post-update configuration screen** (likely iCloud/auth or terms acceptance). Crucially:
* Standard display mirroring shortcuts (`Cmd+F1/F2`) fail **during pre-login processes**.
* NVRAM/SMC resets and blind keyboard input (`Tab`/`Enter` navigation) yield partial response (screen backlight changes) but cannot progress.
* Recovery Mode (`Cmd+R`) does not bypass the prompt.
# Attempted Solutions:
1. **Display overrides**: Tried all known keyboard shortcuts for display switching.
2. **Accessibility workarounds**: Attempted VoiceOver activation (`Cmd+F5`) with no success.
3. **Hardware tests**: Confirmed adapter/monitor work on other devices.
Multiple users report success using MacBooks as "headless" machines after display removal.
Does disconnecting the display flex cable before power-on reliably force external output even during setup screens?
Thank you for your help and recommendations

I bought a very old motherboard for my Xeon E5-2680 v4, the Huananzhi PD-4, which uses the H55 chipset. I’ve been trying to configure an EFI for macOS, but I haven’t had any luck so far. I went through all the BIOS settings and did everything I could, but there’s no option to enable XHCI Hand-off. Could that be causing issues?
