Can't revert successfully

Open 3Sconsultancyltd opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Working on a mid-2012 macbook pro, having followed the steps to revert with no errors, I find that I can now not run my mac os without disabling SIPS.

If I disable SIPS and restart, I cannot get my apps to work, and Finder constantly crashes.

I'm now having to run SIPS permanently disabled to run my machine...do you have any suggestions please?

Thanks

I've updated reverting guide. https://github.com/pookjw/SidecarPatcher/commit/8c1be65b566691bce046250392ef825f6d4a3ebc

You have to backup /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SidecarCore.framework (before updating reverting guide, it was /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SidecarCore.framework/Versions/A/SidecarCore)

If you don't have it, download it from here. (NOTE: This backup is only for 10.15.4)

Follow updated reverting guide.

I’m getting an error when I try run the cp command from the backup to the system folder. It said it is a directory and I cannot copy the file

@LoYungSum I also get the same error. How do you restore the backup files? @pookjw

Error:

$ sudo cp /Users/mymac/Downloads/SidecarCore.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SidecarCore.framework

cp: /Users/mymac/Downloads/SidecarCore.framework is a directory (not copied).

I use the macOS Combo Update (method 1) to restore my system

Thanks for confirming.

I thought both methods require SidecarCore.framework folder to be restored. However, using method 1 and disabling SIP, I could revert to the original configuration without having to restore SidecarCore.framework folder.
