Need help unlocking Tecno spark 10C boot loader (unisoc T606) KI5k

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is having a good evening, I mainly came to ask for support unlocking the Tecno spark 10C boot loader, since running fastboot unlock bootloader is blocked on this phone, it's running the December 2024 security patch otherwise V618 and i simply couldn't unlock it if someone can help me it would be great because I have bank cards on this phone and I feel unsafe running 2 year old security patches on it. Thank you for any help provided

A commit has been made to the OpenCore legacy patcher Repo for the first time in nearly 4 months.

it's a simple Copyright update from 2025 -> 2026 but hey maybe something soon?

note: I'm just saying maybe its not a 100% confirmed theory just my thought but considering its just a bump for the copyright date I have low hopes.

I built a Touch ID-style fingerprint unlock for a fingerprint sensor on a 2012 laptop (VFS5011) — open source, works on Sequoia + Tahoe

Been running a heavily customized HP Pavilion DV6-7070ex (i7-3610QM, Ivy Bridge) as a daily-driver Hackintosh, and one thing that always wanted was biometric unlock on Hackintosh, obviously no T2/Secure Enclave on this hardware. Turns out a lot of old ThinkPads, HP laptops, and Dells shipped with a Validity VFS5011 swipe sensor.

So I built a full userspace driver + auth daemon for it from scratch:

  • Capture pipeline ported from libfprint (credit to the original authors, Arseniy Lartsev and AceLan Kao)
  • Matching via NBIS (mindtct for minutiae extraction, bozorth3 for scoring), same fingerprint matching library used in some government biometric systems
  • Multi-finger enrollment, with a self-consistency check during enrollment so a bad swipe doesn't get baked in as your template
  • Watches both the lock screen and the padlock/auth prompt in System Settings (that AXSecureTextField sheet), and auto-types your password on a match
  • Templates live on a separate encrypted APFS volume, passphrase stored in the System keychain — never touches your main volume in plaintext
  • Ships as a background LaunchAgent + an interactive CLI for enrollment/management

Confirmed working on both Sequoia and Tahoe.

It's BSD-3-Clause licensed and up on GitHub: VFS5011-hackintosh

Fair warning — this is very much a hobbyist project, not a polished consumer tool. If you've got a VFS5011 (check ioreg or System Report > USB for VID/PID) and a spare hour, I'd love bug reports or PRs. Known rough edge: there's a brief ~7 second re-arm window after a successful unlock that I haven't fully chased down yet.

Happy to answer questions about the reverse-engineering side, the AX-tree detection for the auth sheet, or the APFS volume setup if anyone's curious.

Unlocking Boot loader on Tecno Spark 10C [HELP]

Hello everyone, I want to unlock my Tecno Spark 10C's Bootloader and install a GSI with android 15/16 because the phone comes with android 12 which is outdated, plus I don't like hiOS v8.6.0 which comes with this phone. I've heard the CPU in this phone the T606 is known for being very bad for unlocking it.. my phone is on the December 2024 Security patch (V618). and I've heard there is a CVE exploit for unlocking it if someone has done it can you tell me how?

Also, I tried booting a DSU from the Developer options and apparently all 4 options don't boot is it because the Boot loader is locked? If yes then why have it there if you cannot even boot it?? I tried them **all** and they ** Do not boot**, it Reaches the Tecno logo (with powered by android) then screen immediately goes black, then shows the Tecno logo again and boots into hiOS. if anyone knows how this is fixed let me know

New Mr Macintosh Video about new Sequoia 15.7.8 and Sonoma 14.8.8

Hello! for people who want to see a Video about how Sequoia 15.7.8 and Sonoma 14.8.8 are running on Unsupported Intel Macs with OpenCore legacy patcher this video is the best one!

Watch the video here!

My Mid 2012 Retina 13inch MacBookPro on Sequoia 15.7.8 runs perfectly with the metallibsupportpkg 15.7.8 (24G809)

Sequoia 15.7.8 (24G824)

And as we are coming up on a year of 2.4.1 we can only hope for the developers to support tahoe one day.. but Nobody outside the team knows even Mr Macintosh said he is unsure of the project so we can (like I said) Hope they release it one day.. I think if we were to see a release I'd say probably after 26.7 because at that point Apple would have stopped adding features to tahoe, and only add security patches for it, which means (hopefully) a better target that isn't moving so the devs can properly tackle it! Big thanks to (ALL) Developers! you guys are the best! ( NOTE: when I said 26.7 that's a personal guess and not an ETA, oclp devs said there isn't an ETA when we can see it!! That's my guess)

Successful Update to macOS Sequoia 15.7.7 ( ivy Bridge Laptop)!

Hello! How are ya'll doing! I just successfully updated my ivy bridge laptop to the latest Security Patch for macOS Sequoia 15.7.7! ( Tho interesting that they skipped over the .6 update o_O).. It works pretty much flawlessly, and no issues whatsoever on it, It works well with sleep, BT, Wifi ( with the Airportitlwm Ventura OCLP patch). and yeah! I did have an isssue in macOS Sequoia 15.7.5 Where it wouldn't show the map in the weather app But This Seemingly Is fixed now on Sequoia 15.7.7 ( maybe it was a graphical Glitch Who knows)

Weather map Working Perfectly on Sequoia 15.7.7 (24G720)

Pretty much it works Well and Just Waiting for OCLP 3.0.0 to Support macOS Tahoe then I will update this thing to Tahoe! have a good day/night y'all!
