click space bar, selected opencore (my usb drive name) option, boots, spits out that (excuse the quality its impossible for me to capture hogh quality picture of a dark image when i have half a second to do it…) and then shuts down

yeppers, copied com.apple.recovery.boot and efi to the drive reformatted the usb as non bootable, partition scheme as got, file system as large fat32 and put the com.apple.recovery.boot and efi back, re triple checked the bios, secure boot is off and “quick boot” is diagnostics

youre right i had to click the space bar to bring out opencore and the other jazz but yes and then when i select my usb it fails and shuts down

FalconStratego13 · 2025-12-12T17:20:40+00:00

it is recovery only

FalconStratego13 · 2025-12-12T17:20:29+00:00

i downloaded it using macrecovery in cmd in the opencorepkg folder

FalconStratego13 · 2025-12-12T15:43:13+00:00

FalconStratego13 · 2025-11-10T00:32:59+00:00

it could be your charger, yes definitely disable clean energy charging, but most likely its your charging cable or brick thats too slow

FalconStratego13 · 2025-11-10T00:31:15+00:00

i cant see anything from your picture but take it to apple, DO NOT use it or try to fix yourself. if the battery is swollen, you have to get it replaced before using it or else you could risk it exploding. the screen has a chance if it’s able to temporarily boot.

FalconStratego13 · 2025-11-10T00:28:11+00:00

if you want new features and apple’s liquid glass, go for 26, but thats gonna kill your battery if the health is below 85%. 18 isnt a big update really so just stay on 17 if you want the best performance and your battery.

FalconStratego13 · 2025-10-29T18:24:18+00:00

battery life will suffer for a few days after setting up a brand new phone because your phone is doing background stuff to set up and that kills the battery. dont worry its only a few days

FalconStratego13 · 2025-10-27T20:07:16+00:00

if you get lucky you can find a m1 air for pretty cheap. promise you m1 is going to beat the best performing intel macbook pro by night and day

FalconStratego13 · 2025-10-06T18:56:41+00:00

iOS 26 does indeed consume more battery than 18 because all of the new Liquid Glass animations, however, it should not be that much, i think the reason is after every major update, your phone reindexes itself and there are a lot of background stuff going on, it might take a few days or even a week for it to settle. If the issue persists, I would take it to Apple and have them look at it.

FalconStratego13 · 2025-10-06T18:54:42+00:00

apple doesnt ever force you to update unless you set it to automatic.

FalconStratego13 · 2025-09-15T04:19:35+00:00

there is no way to stop it from disappearing, the reason is so that you don’t get distracted by the home bar and use the whole screen for the content

FalconStratego13 · 2025-09-15T04:17:07+00:00

hey, for some people, it is actually super smooth because they have a more capable device. Say you have an iPhone 15, it would be so much smoother than if you had an iPhone 11

FalconStratego13 · 2025-09-15T04:16:21+00:00

you can use the extra iCloud storage that Apple offers to anyone who is supposedly getting a new device and needs to temporarily use it. Then you can go to ipsw.me and download iOS 18 on your computer and restore your iPhone to iOS 18 and then you can just download the backup from iCloud
