I suspect that the reason why no startup combinations worked is that there was just nothing to work with if there is no hard drive that's readable. So in essence you are stuck with an unusable drive and nothing can proceed.
#DISK UTILITY MAC WILL NOT OPEN INSTALL#
Somewhere during the install the drive got locked and for whatever reason encrypted as well, also for whatever reason the password that is used to log in didn't work to unlock the drive. My understanding of what happened is this: I have not tried the Target disk mode so I cannot speak regarding the effectiveness of that option. The option to unlock the hard drive via Apple ID did not work even though MBP communicated properly and I was getting notifications on other devices. Just an option to unlock my Macintosh HD but the password that worked on the login screen but did not work here. Recovery mode didn't not start correctly - there was no proper screen to select options for the recovery, no disk utility, no terminal. Single User/Verbose mode did not work either. Option key didn't allow any options to be selected. None of the combinations listed here ( ) did anything.ĭ or Option+D finished in in error -2002D or -2002F. The install would break somewhere around 24-25th minute, I could not continue - the computer was asking me for my login, would accept it but then restart and continue in this loop. Also, important to note - I did not have File Vault enabled on my hard drive.
#DISK UTILITY MAC WILL NOT OPEN DOWNLOAD#
I have an early 2015 13 Inch MBP, I decided to install Big Sur, download went fine and somewhere during the install something went wrong. So here is the problem I faced and how I solved it. I am sorry to hear this will cost you a lot of money. I will try to restart the decryption process but only once the data recovery is complete which at this rate will be several days.Īnother ridiculous part is that when I boot into that external hard drive with Big Sur I can change the access password to that hard drive in the Terminal there, but not unlock or decrypt it.
#DISK UTILITY MAC WILL NOT OPEN SOFTWARE#
So now I am stuck on recovering data from that hard drive with a 3rd party software - it wasn't UFS Explorer Professional Recovery ( that's $600), neither I have tried iBoysoft (another $90) - both of these read the data from the decrypted hard drive when I provided my password - but the software to which I already had access - Stellar Data Recovery Technician.
Htt p:///2/managing-mavericks-filevault-2-with- fdesetup/ w./r/hackintosh/comments/ak611m/enabled filevaultboot drivenot availableon/ Perhaps this will help but, I haven't tried it yet: I would still recommend being more patient than I was.
I am not sure at all whether it would have finished itself or not. Mine was stuck for a while at 10% without moving so I terminated the process with intention to restart it but it isn't that easy. Some mistakes that I have done during the process: I was able to unlock the hard drive and start the decryption process. Then follow this instructions from here: http s:///5/unlock-or-decrypt-your-filevault-encrypted-boot-drive-from-the-command-line-on-macos-mojave/ Now in recovery mode long the top of the screen go to utilities and select Terminal. When the computer restarts - hold CMD + R for recovery mode. Select your external drive to boot from (I selected the TM drive but I think the one with the OS would work as well - perhaps you could even use an empty drive). When you turn your computer on - keep an Option key pressed. (I also had another drive with a TM back up from a while back hooked up to the MacBook) Since your hard drive is inaccessible - you will have to get an external drive and use it to enter Recovery Mode. The essence of the process is that you have to unlock and decrypt the hard drive but for me that has only been possible through a Terminal in recovery mode. There is a way to unlock the hard drive and possibly to decrypt it, this will allow data recovery but I am not sure if it'll allow to install onto that drive without wiping it (I haven't gotten to that point yet.) This isn't really a new issue to Mac OS, it has happened before. So the way I understand this correctly - the hard drive got locked and encrypted somewhere in the process of the update. I've been digging for solution for over 48 hours now.
