Sierra 10.12.4 hangs during boot, stuck at gIOScreenLockState #24
Comments
I downloaded the latest El Capitan installer from the mac store and that works fine. So it seems like there's an issue with the latest macOS Sierra version. |
Can confirm, latest macOS Sierra stops at |
@dcosson How did you download the El Capitan installer? I get a "the version of macOS is too new" error. Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-el-capitan/id1147835434?mt=12 |
Same issue here. |
@andrewschreiber I was able to download from purchases list in my app store. I got this machine in ~ October 2015 so it came with El Capitan originally, is yours newer possibly? |
Here's a tutorial on how to download the El Capitan pkg and trick the App Store into installing it, instead of Sierra, by hosting it locally. |
I can also reproduce this issue. Why would it be that 10.12.4 raises this issue? |
I'm also stuck on the |
I believe it has something to do with 10.12.4 I was able to install 10.12.3 (had a previous install downloaded already) and upgrade to 10.12.4 without issue. |
I can confirm the same issue, stuck on |
So according to this: https://github.com/timsutton/osx-vm-templates#issue-with-10124
I think until a hack is found this will no longer be possible. |
I've the same issue with 10.12.4. I'd also like to point out that Parallels lets you create a virtual machine image from the recovery drive that works, also with 10.12.4. Not sure how this is achieved though. |
I tried the procedure described in this repo just in the days when 10.12.4 came out, and I can confirm that this is not working with the new version. I did not have the oportunity to try it with 10.12.3, but I checked back in that day for any issues related and could not find anything. |
@LaloLoop as I commented 10 hours ago, I was able to install with 10.12.3 and upgrade to 10.12.4 |
Does anyone know how/where to download 10.12.3? I am also stuck when trying to install 10.12.4 |
@tcurdt I'm facing this same issue - I don't think there's any way to get the previous installer unless you know someone who already has it. I ended up redownloading El Capitan from the App Store and I'm using it now |
@nathanhleung I am doing the very same thing. Still need Sierra at some point though. |
Is http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/27/allow-apps-from-anywhere-macos-gatekeeper/ any help? Sorry, not really a subject matter expert; I'm probably conflating Apps with the pkg, and I've no idea whether it's possible to even run commands before the pkg is used? |
@tcurdt I downloaded the Sierra installer on my El Capitan VM and have gone through the install/restart process a few times but it doesn't seem to be working - by any chance have you taken that route in trying to install Sierra? |
@nathanhleung no, I never tried that as I assume the download will have the same problem. I just found an old Sierra USB stick ready to install though. I might try to turn that into an iso and see if that works. That's about all the options I see at the moment. I am wondering if this works for vmware/parallels - then switching away virtualbox could be another option. |
I was having the same issue and unfortunately I didn't have any copy of an older installer either, and in my desperate search for a solution I found this thread. I wanted to try AutoDMG + vfuse but I wanted to use virtualbox for now, so I wrote a modified version of Tim Sutton's prepare_iso.sh timsutton/osx-vm-templates#82 which does the same as AutoDMG + vfuse but using Virtualbox's tools, which generates a vdi with a fresh install. The idea more less of what this script is doing is:
I hope that it helps :-) |
Will Sierra 10.12.5 fix this? Did some of you tried already? |
Just tried today, same issue with 10.12.5. |
@jonanh that looked very promising at first - but now it's just doing:
|
@tcurdt this is the output I get after running the prepare_vdi.sh from timsutton/osx-vm-templates#82 |
@jonanh oh, I was trying your script from above. Will give that a try. |
I finally got it working like this:
In case you don't have But be aware - updating to 10.12.5 after the install broke the booting similar to what I saw on the former install attempts. So it doesn't seem to be the final solution. |
I had the same problem trying with 10.12.6 in Virtualbox 5.1 and Virtualbox 5.0. |
With instructions for prepare_vdi.sh provided by @jonanh I was able to obtain a working VirtualBox VM with OS X 10.12.6 on the Mac mini host. I was able to enter my Apple ID and get updates for applications. I didn't use packer, just imported appliance from .ovf-file. All VM options were used as provided by Just for assurance, the boot log contains the same message with gIOScreenLockState mentioned but boot process doesn't stuck after it ( Once again for guys having the problems: make sure that installation is performed NOT on VM from the .iso-image but on the host to .dmg-file and then VM is created to use the disk with already installed OS X. That's what prepare_vdi.sh/prepare_odf.sh are for. Thank you very much, @jonanh. |
@ynikanchyk you hopefully just saved me. will know soon :) |
@ynikanchyk ..Thank you ... it worked after 3 hours of searching internet. macOS 10.12.6 |
@jonanh This helped me test macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on windows host. |
@soapagent Can you go into more detail about setting the CPUID, DeviceID, SMC? I'm new to this and attempting to run on my desktop. -Core i5 6500 |
@lXbalanque , Please check this article.
https://www.howtogeek.com/289594/how-to-install-macos-sierra-in-virtualbox-on-windows-10/ |
Now, if only @jonanh's script worked with High Sierra :) |
@jonanh hello, I am having this same issue on a Windows 10 host. I was just wondering how to use your script? I have a Sierra.iso file created from the instructions on the HowToGeek page. Do I need to take a few steps back a run the scripts on my Mac with the .dmg file? I am new to this kind of thing and could not figure out what to do from this thread. |
@mrroboto1420 The .iso method doesn't work anymore as of 10.12.4. Ignore all the steps in the Howtogeek article on creating the .iso and instead run @jonanh's script on your Mac. Make sure you have VirtualBox installed on your Mac as well, as the script depends on it. After you've generated the .vdi, you can put that on your Windows host and run it from there. |
Great! I'll give it a shot this weekend

I made it sure iso method is working with 10.12.6.3 installer. |
If you are somewhat interested in working in the virtually installed macOS, like coding with GUI interface, you better use VMware, as it has a little stronger graphics virtualization. If you want a non-GUI server, using VBox is not so bad. :) |
Just trying to get a healthy ecosystem for running unit tests against
configuration management changes in our deploy so as long as I can get SSH
to the box I am good ;) As long as otherwise it is fully featured and able
to take my config changes via command line that is what matters most to me.

Thanks for this helpful thread. I've used prepare_vdi.sh to successfully boot a sierra guest in VBox on my Windows host. My issue is I can't get more than 4MB for the VRAM so tthe interface is painfully slow. Host has 24GB RAM and integrated intel 520 graphics (i5-6200u). Anyone have the same issue and resolved it? Thank you in advance for any help. |
@jenilkansara: Having the same issue with iphone not deteced since Sierra 10.12.4. In my case the iphone is showing up in the device list with correct infos, but neither itunes nor xcode is able to detect it. |
@styxlab I got it working on MacOS Sierra by using VMWare. The iPhone connects successfully. |
@jenilkansara Thanks. I can confirm that. As I'm bound to virtualbox: Has anyone had success with iphone usb passthrough on virtualbox since Sierra 10.12.4 or higher? |
After updating the system (Sierra 10.12), my Mac mini boots up until the progress bar is at about 50%, then display becomes simply black. The computer does not shut down, but display is simply black. If I boot in verbose mode, the last line I see is the following: Internet recovery (Shift-Option-Command-R) does not help: recovery itself seems to proceed fine, but when it comes again to the Apple logo, the progress bar again reaches about 50% and the display becomes black. Starting up in Recovery mode(Command-R) and starting up in Safe mode (Shift) do not help: as in Normal mode, it reaches 50% of progress bar and the display becomes black. I can boot in single user mode (Command-S): "fsck -fy" does not find any problems. I don't know what other things I can do in single user mode. As I understood, my video hardware is not compatible with the new version of Sierra. What can I do? Can I install previous versions of macOS? How can I do that if I can boot only in single user mode?

@dimabin I have the same issue with my MacBook Pro today. How did you solve it? |
Dear Nikita,
In my case, the reason was the problem with Mini Displayport to HDMI
Adapter. I replaced it - and after that it worked perfect.

@dimabin I'm facing the exact same issue but on a Macbook Pro. Any ideas what I should be replacing? |
It turned out that the issue, at least in my case, was not with booting up
itself, but rather with displaying what the system outputted. Replacing the
Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter helped me.

but I don't see how replacing an external adapter would help the computer
boot up. Could you please elaborate?

Not sure what to do with this issue; it looks like there are a few related issues mentioned in the thread, but as it's grown to 67 comments and I don't think there's any software fix I can add in the repo to 'fix' these issues (especially when they're related to hardware), I'm tempted to close it. |
@geerlingguy What worked for me was dropping the dGPU completely and switching to integrated graphics. See here |
For me, set paravirtualization interface to "None" and it's work.

geerlingguy/macos-virtualbox-vm#24 Make sure to undo this finally - for 10.12.4 and above, but there could be other issues after: https://github.com/timsutton/osx-vm-templates#issue-with-10124

well I passed the gIOScreenLockState, but I got stuck in Sound Assertion in AppleHDAEngine at line 605 Edit: I managed to pass my problem |
Hey, I'm trying to get this to boot the first time. After following the README directions it just hangs about 30 seconds into starting up. The last log lines when it hangs are shown below. Any idea what the issue is?
I'm on Virtualbox 5.1.18 r114002 (Qt5.6.2) and MacOS 10.12.4 on an early 2015 Macbook Pro, and in Virtualbox I'm using 4GB RAM, 128MB video memory, 2 CPUs, and I've tried marking the ISO as Live CD/DVD
