Yosemite won't boot any more after attempting to enable FileVault and TRIM
Solution 1:
Yosemite apparently uses a new security feature called kext signing. This will prevent the old method of TRIM enabling. See the Trim Enabler FAQ, The question Recovering from stop sign on boot screen might help you:
Recovering from stop sign on boot screen
For those who are stuck on the grey boot screen, here’s how you get back into OS X:
Step 1: Boot recovery mode by holding Cmd+R during boot
Step 2: Is your volume encrypted (FileVault)? If so, first open Disk Utility from the menu bar and unlock/mount your drive. [see here for the procedure]
Step 3: Open the Terminal from the menu bar
Step 4: Run this command:
nvram boot-args
Does it say
kext-dev-mode=1
? if so, you can skip to Step 6. If it sayserror getting variable
, continue with these steps:Step 5: Run this command:
nvram boot-args=kext-dev-mode=1
Step 6: Reboot back in to Recovery Mode again
Step 7: Run these commands, replacing Your Disk Name with the name of your Mac disk (partition). You can type
ls /Volumes
to get a list of volumes. Note the quotes around the disk path and that there should be no / before System.
cd "/Volumes/Your Disk Name"
touch System/Library/Extensions
kextcache -u "/Volumes/Your Disk name"
Step 8: Wait until it finishes (can take as long as 5-10 minutes, don’t abort it) and reboot. You should now be back in OS X with Trim enabled.
The commands are not working!
The commands will work if they are entered correctly. However, if you are not familiar with the Terminal, it can be hard to follow the steps above. If can’t get the Terminal commands to work, or want an easier option, you can also use the Recovery Mode to reinstall OS X. Reinstalling OS X will only reinstall the system files, leaving your files and preferences untouched.
Please check the original source for updates!
EDIT:
See my answer here: Since the release of 10.10.4, Apple now provides a new tool called trimforce
, allowing users to activate TRIM also on unsupported disks. No more dangerous experiments with third party software necessary.
