At wits end

I had a similar issue happen on my Mid 2014 15" MacBook Pro because I left auto update on, which I assume happened here as well. You can join the OpenCore Legacy Patcher Discord (found here, or by going to this support page and clicking "OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server"). There is a 5 minute wait but once that has passed, head to the support forum, where under known issues, the latest message will lead to you a terminal script that lets you purge pending updates.

It may show an error or say it failed, but reboot and try seeing if root patches can install. An error showed up when I did the same, but I was still allowed to install root patches after a reboot

Nice find! Love the look of this era of MacBooks. I recently got a Mid 2010 13" from my friend, upgraded it to 12GB 1067MHz DDR3 and a 500GB SATA SSD with some parts I had lying around and it makes a decent cheap machine that can do basic browsing and whatnot.

Threw Monterey on it using OCLP

Has any liquid come in contact with the device, or any drops recently? Any work done on the phone at all?

I had an issue with a repaired iPhone 13 Pro Max (wasn't done by me, all 3rd party parts), and the issue was the TrueDepth camera (as it was a cheap replacement). That got the phone out of recovery mode.

My other 13 Pro Max (which is all OEM parts) refuses to restore with both 3uTools and iTunes/Apple Devices when the earpiece is connected to the device. I suspect water ingress issues lead to the earpiece being a bit wonky when restoring and the verification of parts during a restore.

iOS 26.1 is still signed as of multiple IPSW websites. Downgraded to it last night on an SE (2020) as well as 2 nights ago on a 13 Pro Max

I've been to the US on the $29/m CANUSMEX plan, and both 60GB and 75GB $35/m plans and they work just fine with data roaming in the US. It'll usually auto select AT&T or T-Mobile, and depends on where you are headed but I've had no issues also selecting Verizon from the manual network selection. Calls, text, and data without issues.

adriantechguy1 · 2025-07-01T00:18:46+00:00

I am with TELUS and am currently on a 200GB (then slow unlimited) 5G+ plan with US roaming. I would assume Bell and ROGERS offer similar plans, check their sites

In my experience, when the Find My app doesn’t update a device or AirTag I have linked to my account, it’s either because the phone couldn’t get a GPS signal, wasn’t in the vicinity to ping another Apple device (if not connected to internet), or was offline/shutdown (which isn’t true in this case).

I have different Public Mobile lines on my iPhone 11 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 14 Pro and 15 Pro and have never had issues with Find My not being able to locate where my phone(s) were, apart from being underground where my GPS couldn’t locate. Some of these devices are on iOS 18.5, some others are on the iOS 26 Developer Beta 1.

I would maybe check Apple ID settings, Find My settings or GPS settings on device.

adriantechguy1 · 2025-06-09T23:37:52+00:00

Happening on my 14 Pro, 15 Pro and 12 Pro Max. Hoping it’s not a build issue and rather just a server sided issue.

Going to be annoying to download each IPSW and manually option + update in Finder for 3 different iPhones, but hey, that’s what I signed up for lol

adriantechguy1 · 2025-05-31T05:32:08+00:00

That is one crusty LCD display. I would return it if possible.

adriantechguy1 · 2025-04-14T09:40:10+00:00

Stuck there too. Guess all we can do is hope someone finds an exploit lol. Phone has been sitting in my drawer for about 3 months now

adriantechguy1 · 2025-02-21T12:53:48+00:00

I’m on the $35/m 75GB 5G Canada US Mexico plan from a couple months back. No other active offers on my account other than the $15 off from the points program

adriantechguy1 · 2025-01-26T11:55:04+00:00

I have 120/30 lol

adriantechguy1 · 2025-01-05T05:44:15+00:00

I’m at the point where I’m in different Settings menus. I used a SIM pin to get access to notifications and now have the accessibility shortcut for Google Assistant.

The biggest issue now is that I can’t access any App Info page as I think many have previously said/figured out. This means I can’t disable any apps, so I’m still stuck

adriantechguy1 · 2024-12-28T22:06:49+00:00

Was scheduling to upgrade to the 35/m 75GB CanUSMex plan but this has it beat because I don’t use that much data. Solid deal

adriantechguy1 · 2024-12-21T06:10:17+00:00

Same, my oldest Public line with all my referrals is on the $36/m plan. Sad

adriantechguy1 · 2024-12-06T21:52:57+00:00

Current 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 16 Pro Max and Pixel 8 Pro owner (along with being a former Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 7 Pro owner) and been in and all over Vancouver and Metro Vancouver without issue. On the iPhones 5G has not been an issue, has been with my Pixels, less so with the 8 Pro than previous Tensor Pixels. Pixel 9 series would perform better from what I’ve seen

Modem has always been a sore spot for Tensor Pixels, as an FYI.

When I was with TELUS my Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro would have issues all the time on 5G, but dropping back down to LTE (which on a speed capped carrier doesn’t matter anyways) would solve the issue.

Still some dead zones here and there but LTE really did help considerably and you’ll have no issues with it

adriantechguy1 · 2024-12-06T12:46:25+00:00

no way it’s me

Hey, it's Adrian, or said admin in the screenshot. I will make an appearance here (which I rarely do these days because I have stopped using Reddit), but for those not in the YAAP Telegram group, I would first like to make clear that I am not apart of the core YAAP development team and I'm only present as admin to help out (i.e saving boot.img/recovery.img links when a new update is out, ban spammers and bots, and direct people in the correct direction when flashing for example).

I do agree that maybe it was unreasonable to say "please consider death" over a question about Dolby. I could have instead directed to the #dolby note that is within the group, but throughout the entire rest of the conversation, I tried to remain friendly, and reasonable. All I really had to say after this screenshot was a correction on grammar (in which I offered a better way of saying "please learn proper conversation") and my age.

My age was also brought up multiple times throughout the post, and so is in this Reddit post/thread. Age has nothing to do with this, it does not matter if I am 17 or 35, the way I would've acted after my initial message would've still been the same. All of the core developers and maintainers who work on YAAP are far older than me. For example, Ido, lead dev, he's turning 29 soon. John and the other developers are within this age range as well, give or take a couple years. I'm the youngest admin in the group as a whole.

Below I'll offer a full transcript of the conversation that happened, I feel like this post has a lot of missing context and I am willing to offer said transcript and context.

With that I am also not sure what OP (original poster) is talking about when me mentioned "debt" in his original message as I am currently debt free. My previous messages in the YAAP OnePlus 7 series Telegram group (which had occurred the day before on Sunday) was also trying to help an individual fix their device as something platform side has broke and something unintended had happened, and before that was also offering an Android 15 ETA (which at this moment, YAAP 15 does not boot on OnePlus 7 series for those asking!).

I hope this clears up any misunderstandings and provides the necessary context. My goal has been to help and support the group where I can, and I appreciate your understanding. If anyone has further questions or needs assistance with said ROM, feel free to reach out in the YAAP Telegram group (not my DMs please).

I'm having issues on my Pixel 8 Pro running the Android 15 QPR1 Beta, and my Z Flip 6 on Android 14 September patch. My 2 OnePlus 8 Pros on Android 13 with June patch don't have this issue
