Freezing at MODE_SENSE_06 on Samsung USB 3.1, macOS Tahoe 26.5 online recovery never boots. someone help pls

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
  • GPU: RX 6700 XT 12GB
  • Motherboard: ASUS Prime B550M-A
  • Storage: HP NVMe M.2 EX900 500GB
  • OpenCore 1.0.7 Debug

Trying to install macOS Tahoe 26.5 via online recovery on a Samsung 256GB USB 3.1. Boot always freezes at:

[IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceType00:DetermineMediaWriteProtectState] [Flash Drive]: MODE_SENSE_06 failed after 0 retries, last serviceresponse: 2; TaskStatus: 0

Then shows the prohibitory icon.

What I've already tried:

  • USB 2.0 front panel port and all rear USB 3.0 ports
  • Isolated to only keyboard, mouse and installer USB
  • Remapped USB with USBToolBox Windows tool, UTBMap confirmed working
  • Followed Dortania guide fully for B550 + AMD Zen 3

if someone knows what to do with it i would love to hear it it would prob help a lot!
