Macos Big Sur Olarila Top

It is important to note that macOS is licensed only for Apple hardware. Installing macOS Big Sur on a non-Apple PC via Olarila or any method violates Apple's EULA. The Olarila community does not condone piracy (you must download Big Sur from the App Store legitimately if you own a Mac to create the image; many Olarila images circumvent this).

Proceed at your own risk. This guide is for educational purposes regarding system architecture and bootloaders.

    Because you are using a generic ROM and MLB (board serial number) from the Olarila image, Apple will block your iMessage. Use GenSMBIOS to generate new serials (MacPro7,1 or iMac20,1) and inject them into your config.plist.
