Spent an age trying to do this from a USB on a2017 imac but no matter what I did the system wouldn't see it when booting. Tried it this way from the SSD and nailed it first time. Thanks for a great tutorial it saved me hours of trial and error.

IF any one is getting not valid mount do this
when you do partition make sure you put exact same name < Sonoma Installer > then it will work

I have a 2017 iMac running Ventura. I've tried the USB update method and get the firmware lock when trying to access the USB. I'm diligent about passwords and never created a firmware PW for this Mac. I don't know this password. I suspect one was created by a third party who installed a SSD. I've contacted them to no avail. Anyway, will the method described in this video work for me or am I likely to have issues?

hello, what does it mean go to the desk and paste it in terminal, I tried pasting it, it says volume not found

Initially you helped me get from Catalina to Sonoma 14.3.1 via OCLP 1.4.2 without USB. Greedy me wanted to upgrade to OCLP 1.4.3 to attempt an upgrade to Sonoma 14.4.1. Nonono I shouldn't have done that. Upgrading via 1.4.3 gave me the grey screen of death and it took me 1 whole week to figure out how to fix it. I went back to this my original method, your video so thanks a lot, you're a life safer! MacBook Pro Early 2013 Retina
