How Disable File Vault Tahoe 26.0.1 - Hackintosh ???

[asapreta]

Hello Everyone.

 

Last week I tested Tahoe installation in a spare SSD and decided to get it running in my actual setup, upgrading the Sequoia installation I had.

The only difference I noticed was, after the final install reset I was asked for my password just after boot, not when the system was already loaded.

And of course my password didn't work!

Got the information about the File Vault, installed apfs_aligned.efi driver and unchecked the needed option in OC configurator.
Could login in Tahoe with no issues except it is not possible to disable the File Vault.

No matter how much I try to disable it, enter the password and select to turn it off, it always is on.

 

Is there a way to turn it off?

I have reached some information it can be disabled in Recovery Boot, but no so sure if it only for real macs.

Checking the encryption, I get this:

 

FileVault is On.
Encryption in progress: Percent completed = 12

It is in 12 ever since.

 

The other information I got it that File Vault is enabled always if you are connected to iCloud.
Will it be even after forcing turning it off?

Thank you!
