I wanted to change the icons on Big Sur and ran into the same problems. I tried to follow the steps here (https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/395509/387852) but on step 6:

sudo mount -o nobrowse -t apfs DISK_PATH MOUNT_PATH

I ran into this issue

mount_apfs: volume could not be mounted: Resource busy
mount: /Users/timrupp/newicons failed with 75

I really am no programmer or have any real clue how to use Terminal. I'd appreciate any help.

    What do you mean by „the same problems“? – nohillside Aug 30 '20 at 09:27
  • Resource busy suggests something is running in the directory /Users/timrupp/newicons, for example did run your sudo command from there? If so, then do cd ~ ; sudo mount etc. – Philip Kearns Aug 30 '20 at 10:33
  • I have yet to try macOS Big Sur because I don't waste time on beta products anymore, however, I'd attempt to replace icons from Terminal while still in macOS Recovery. – user3439894 Aug 30 '20 at 14:44
  • @user3439894 you need to bless the snapshot afterwards for Big Sur to boot. Maybe I'll write a tutorial for it sometime. – Oion Akif Aug 30 '20 at 19:18
  • @Skeleton Bow, Does selecting the Startup Disk from macOS Recovery bless it? A tutorial would be nice. However, I'm not moving to macOS Big Sur until at least 11.0.3 (if then, I wait and see hot things go). – user3439894 Aug 30 '20 at 19:34
  • @user3439894 I just saw that there are some instructions to bless it in the link the OP posted. I haven't tried it personally but it looks like what I found in my research back in the early stages of Big Sur. I've been looking forward to figuring out how to change icons on Big Sur (and possibly write a neat script to do so semi-automatically, since you can apparently only change system files while in recovery). However, I haven't had the time to do so yet ;P I think I'll answer this question when I have. It should definitely be by the time of Big Sur's release because I want me own icons – Oion Akif Aug 30 '20 at 19:38

diskutil unmountDisk force DISK_PATH (or whatever your disk is)
