Driver extension is not approved to run

[Dry05]

So I’ve been trying to get this working. App works, installed the .dext works. Rebooted, keyboard initialized, then nothing happens for keyboard backlight. Using a 0x0b5 0x1837. So I tried doing a kextcache to rebuild kernelcache. Which told me this error encountered during approval check: error domain=ossystemextensionerrordomain code=1 "(null)" any ideas?

Please attach your IOREG, output of csrutil status, systemextensionsctl developer and systemextensionsctl list

just reset systemextensionsctl database

[Dry05]

I know I had developer mode disabled, happened after a reboot already enabled now. Could it be that I have wrong dsdt patches or aren’t those necessary for this to work?

[black-dragon74]

Please attach IOREG from IORegistryExplorer.app

Attaching in TXT format is of no use. And no, it doesn’t require any DSDT patches as it works on the USB interface.

[Dry05]

That’s the correct one right?

[Dry05]

Uh it just came to me that this keyboard has been replaced 2 years ago at a official Asus repair point. The keyboard vendor and product id are still the same. So that wouldn’t be a problem then would it? Sorry for the spam

[black-dragon74]

Please use IORegistryExplorer.app from here

I don't think of it to be an issue.

Any suggestions what to try now?

[Dry05]

That last one was the right file wasn’t it? Please let me know what I can try to get it working

[black-dragon74]

First off sorry for the delay, was a little busy. Can you please try the debug version and send me the logs? The Driver is not loading for some reason. And I can't point out the issue without the logs.

Regards

[Dry05]

Sure thing, where will I find the logs after trying?

[black-dragon74]

log stream | grep -i "rog_hid_driver". You will likely have to reenumerate for the init and start logs to appear (check README on how to re-enumerate your device).

Regards

[Dry05]

Yeah when using the debug version macOS doesn’t boot up. Keeps printing amfi: panic dump. In verbose

[black-dragon74]

Also, before you try this can you download and try macRogAuraCore?

You will likely need to do the following:

macRogAuraCore initialize_keyboard
macRogAuraCore brightness 3
macRogAuraCore red

This will tell us if backlight on your keyboard is supported or not.

Bonus Tip: After you install macRogAuraCore you can use ROGSwitch to easily control keyboard backlight from the menu bar.

Weird. I just released an update. Try the debug variant from that release? BTW, you should try the above steps before we move forward.

Regards

[Dry05]

Yes I tried macrogauracore too. Tried those steps too

[black-dragon74]

Yes I tried macrogauracore too. Tried those steps too

Does it work? If yes, send the output.

[Dry05]

No keyboard backlight after using the new driver and macrogauracore either

I tried disabling amfi before, and signing with own paid dev account. even that didn't work

[black-dragon74]

You can see it is a code signing issue. Prolly due to SIP or improper systemextensionsctl config.

attach output of nvram -p

[black-dragon74]

No keyboard backlight after using the new driver and macrogauracore either

This is not helpful. What is the message that you get when you run the aforementioned macRogAuraCore commands?

[Dry05]

[black-dragon74]

Umm. What macOS version are you on? Also your SIP config is invalid. Refer to https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/troubleshooting/extended/post-issues.html#disabling-sip

Fixing SIP will get us some progress on the matter.

[Dry05]

config.plist.zip

idk what's wrong with my config file. please tell me. its OpenCore

[Dry05]

okay just disabled sip the right way with nvram. System Integrity Protection status: unknown (Custom Configuration).

Configuration: Apple Internal: enabled Kext Signing: disabled Filesystem Protections: disabled Debugging Restrictions: disabled DTrace Restrictions: disabled NVRAM Protections: disabled BaseSystem Verification: disabled

This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.

I still get driver extension not approved to run

[black-dragon74]

You mean the warning popup? You have to click allow and then approve from system preferences. Extension will load then.

Also, these issues have nothing to do with the Driver itself and are configuration errors on your end.

Closing this issue. If ROG_HID_Driver loads and then you face some problem, I can help you with that.

If it’s not loading it’s due to some misconfiguration. Refer to the README for troubleshooting.

Regards

[Dry05]

No I get driver not approved when u run sudo kextcache -i /. That’s what I was referring to, I configured SIP the way you said it just still doesn’t load

[Dry05]

anyways, SIP was already completely disabled from recovery. I now also added the right config in OpenCore for nvram. still nothing. systemextensionsctl list

as you can see its enabled just fine. reenumerated fine too. just nothing happening. can it be my laptop after all maybe?

[black-dragon74]

No keyboard backlight after using the new driver and macrogauracore either

This is not helpful. What is the message that you get when you run the aforementioned macRogAuraCore commands?

You didn’t answer this. If macRogAuraCore doesn’t work. ROG-HID never will. Both are fundamentally same with respect to keyboard backlight.

[Dry05]

macRogAuroCore commands don’t give any message at all

[black-dragon74]

Open Terminal. Type macRogAuraCore , press enter. Post the screenshot.

Also forgive me for speculating but I don’t think you have technical knowledge of stuff? Right? If so, unfortunately there’s not much that I can do as half of the things are getting lost in comprehension.

Regards

[Dry05]

no problem. I do have technical knowledge besides I'm a software dev haha

[Dry05]

That is the right screenshot right? Still got the driver installed rn

[black-dragon74]

Yeah. That screenshot is alright. Run macRogAuraCore initialize_keyboard and post output.
