Bootloader/kernel signing can be turned off, there is even GUI for that if you turn off SIP first. Is it just like a jailbroken iPhone/iPad, but straight from Apple and without losing warranty.
- Tepix 6y agoNo, you cannot turn off the signed bootloader requirement just by using the GUI. You need to run csrutil in a terminal after booting into macOS recovery.
- zinekeller 6y agoTo be fair though to Apple, at least it is standardized. Have you tried to turn off Secure Boot? Note: depending on the specific motherboard it could be: - Windows Command-line (some Surfaces) - a simple switch on the BIOS configuration (usually on desktop motherboards which are sold as a part) - set first a password to the setup and then switching it off (notably some Acer laptops) - removing a screw physically, setting a setup password and switching it off (some Acer laptops probably copied from ChromeOS SKUs) - Setting secure boot to custom and then clearing the key database (usually business computers) - (Technically incorrect) setting it to BIOS/CSM mode - Shout to heavens because that OEM has somehow hard-baked secure boot on the system and does not have CSM options (company shall remain unnamed but the name ends in L)
- terramex 6y agoWell, I should have been more precise. There is GUI for switching system into 'permissive security' mode that does not check system signatures [1] but user still needs to first turn SIP off using terminal in recovery mode.
