Thank you pkouame a lot of us from Mojave on have missed you so hopefully you will be back soon enough . I learned a lot not only from you but from the many contributors and miss our chats on figuring things out take care my friendGlad you're doing well buddy! Old workhorses have been out on loan for a worthy cause. I may be able to retrieve them (pro 3,1 and mbp5.x mid 2009) in a few months. Meanwhile will follow and cheer on the sidelines
Ixmeta: Why angry when its the truth - everything after snow leopard is a joke - a toy, a child's toy.. not a serious operating platform. sorry, but many have already agreed with me on this - Mac OS X was once a serious operating and professional platform, but with the kind of stuff I saw in Catalina, Mojave, others before and Big Sur - its a big unprofessional toy.
wasn't those same guru's who last year said there were no plans to port iOS apps to macOS and here we are I call BS
I don't know... maybe apple just doesn't like us. I, too, have the late 2013 iMac
I have a late 2013 iMac. How do I install macOS Big Sur. This is my first time doing this

IO80211Family.kext from Mojave. I bet the 2012 machines will be able to use the same kext from Cat. Anyone tried it yet?Hi,
there are 3 types of Internet Recovery, one of them installs Lion, other install the Latest suported version (on my MacbookPro 2012 Catalina via internet recovery, or Lion via internet recovery using the other option
Internet Recovery Options are:
Command (⌘)-R = Reinstall the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac
Option-⌘-R = Upgrade to the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. [Catalina]
Shift-Option-⌘-R = Reinstall the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. [Lion]
Recovery exceptions
The version of macOS offered by macOS Recovery might vary in some cases:
- If macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later has never been installed on this Mac, Option-Command-R installs the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. And Shift-Option-Command-R isn't available.
- If you erased your entire disk instead of just the startup volume on that disk, macOS Recovery might offer only the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. You can upgrade to a later version afterward.
- If your Mac has the Apple T2 Security Chip and you never installed a macOS update, Option-Command-R installs the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac.
- If you just had your Mac logic board replaced during a repair, macOS Recovery might offer only the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.

Here is my IO80211Family kext version 12.0 if you wan to try it. Of course I'm using an Atheros card at the moment, all my MBPs have been upgraded to the BCM94360 from @troop231 i'll try a Mac mini once I get ahold of one. A New (Fixed) Airport Kext has been updated to fix BCM94360/BCM943602...

Do you have stock wifi? What's the steps?
Here are the steps I used to get the beta installed on a 2013 27 inch iMac
(I made a new partition for this install I recommend you guys do the same!)
1. Download pkg from http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...kxzj3zjshu1srsh4n74a41n4/InstallAssistant.pkg
2. Download https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/really-simple-installer-hack-zip.926156/
3. Copy hax.dylib to home folder
4. Boot into recovery
5. Run csrutil disable in Terminal
6. Also run this command in the terminal in recovery: sudo nvram boot-args="-no_compat_check"
7. Reboot and run this in Terminal while on current OS - sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true
8. Run this in terminal launchctl setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES $PWD/Hax.dylib
9. Open the InstallAssistant.pkg and open the Installer.app in Launchpad / applications folder
10. Wait for install to finish

First you need to unlock the system partition spctl --master-disable mount -uw / killall Finder then use something like Kext utility to place the kext in the correct spot, but note kext utility remains completely broken as all programs are, then follow @ASentientBot steps here #173 anything...

Do I add a volume to the current APFS Container or do I add a new APFS Container alongside the Container used for Catalina
How did you install that, can you guide me through it? What program did you install, please give me the link?
Here's my full guide on how to install Big Sur on A1425 and probably most devices.
that I don't know I did this on a 2013 27 inch iMac sorry for the bad news
I actually do have a late 2013 iMac so I would be grateful if you explained the steps that have to be followed in order to have it working. Thank you very much!
