DISCLAIMER: Please understand that installing macOS Ventura or Monterey on your unsupported Mac is a best effort by the community. A ton of work went into getting the patcher to work! Some things might not work exactly right but it's really really close. I would not recommend installing on a system that you rely on for work or school. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES FIRST BEFORE YOU UPGRADE! The good news is that you are getting the latest security fixes from Apple. Some might argue that upgrading to Patched Monterey makes your Mac safer since Apple is no longer fixing security issues on 10.13 and below.

Thank you again Mr. Macintosh, for your dedication to the Mac community and your always easy to follow video's to update our OCLP Mac.

FWIW: I always use wired keyboard & mouse and wired internet connection for updating my Mac Pro and/or other devices. Easy fix for some major issues that may occur.

[philippebourdais]

Hey Mr Macintosh. Thanks a lot for your very informative videos.
Cancelled the my 14.1 upgrade after reading your video (eventough I am on ethernet) I'll wait for your green light. So far my system (Imac 27 ', mid 2011, WX4150, i7, 20 gb memory) is working like a charm on Sonoma. System responsivness is excellent for an 12 years old computer !!! A great thank you to the entire OCLP team for their outstanding work.

[johnnymemphis]

Its always a delight listen to your summaries. Thanks!

@Mr. Macintosh I am Macbook pro 2016 user, updated to 14.1 2 days ago via the direct update.
Problems: Long stay on the login page and when shifted to recovery mode, the same no WIFI problem.
Solution: tried your last method of manual KDK download (since i didnt have ethernet at the hand). copied from another machine, installed it, ran the OCLP patches again and now its perfectly fine and everything is working. Thank you

My machine is an Early 2008 Mac Pro and I suspect you are correct about the issue being with Wi-Fi. I am connected to my network via Ethernet and the update to Sonoma 41.1 whilst using OCLP 1.1.0 went flawlessly using Apple Software Update. Everything is working well and I must say, Sonoma appears to be running even more smoothly than Monterey and I was already impressed with how well Monterey ran.

[juanhenriquez]

I had a problem whereby I was actually stuck on a loading progress bar at the login screen after going through all troubleshooting steps. Booting into safe mode was not an option, but holding down shift and enter together at power on (and holding this buttons pressed until the login screen) resulted in another progress bar beneath the larger main progress bar. This second progress bar stopped at 97 percent and after some time the machine re-booted and I was finally able to log back into the OS to install patches.

Sonoma 14.0 worked great on my 2011 13” MacBook Pro. I had a WiFi issue when trying to upgrade to 14.1. That caused the black screen on reboot. I had made a (what I thought was) a USB installer copy of 14.0 - using the OCLP create installer process (turns out that is just a copy of the installer, not bootable). So, I’m in the process of reloading High Sierra, then upgrading up to 14.0. I’ll stay away from updates now until they are proven to work through your videos. Thanks for all you do to keep us updated on the pros and issues of MacOS!

[mbishop]

Came across this video after installing 14.1 on my 2012 Mac mini and 2013 Mac Pro. Had I seen it before doing the upgrade, I would have waited until later! I was lucky that I was able to get into safe mode on both units and use the post install patches which corrected all the issue. As of this typing everything is working well on both machines. Both machines have i7 processors and 16GB of ram! Thanks for all the info and help!

I have late 2013 Imac 27inch and had to go back to ventura. Sonoma was very slow and laggy, at times just froze up for few minutes . So will not update again

[dennisweel-vandeput]

My iMac 2011 and MacBook Pro metal 2012, were able to boot in safemode. Used the new kdk (downloaded it, as I saw you previous video) and I am on 14.2 beta developers version. All works well. Thanks for your videos. They are super helpful.

Great and very informative video's Mr Mac. I held off installing OpenCore on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro that was running High Sierra for fear of having issues, but finally did and glad I have. Took the safe root and went for Monterey due to the age of my unit, and being an OS's that will no longer receive major changes from Apple I would be less likely to confront problems. I was more interested in having a working unit that can rum the latest versions of apps. More interested in function than the latest form. Really pleased and am amazed at how well Monterey runs on my 2010 MacBook Pro, in fact it runs way better now than it did on High Sierra and doesn't get as hot as it used to. The only issues I have are as follows. The internal DVD drive no longer works. Not a problem as never used and was expecting this anyway. Maps don't appear in both the Maps app and Find My. Apparently this is due to my unit being non Metal. Again not an issue as I just use Google instead. The one other issue I have happens in Photo's. If I click on "Memories" it will attempt to run for a few seconds then the app just crashes. Not sure if there is a fix for that, but again not a big deal because the app runs fine otherwise, and what I have gained in usability easily offsets minor issues. A big thank you to the developers at Dortania for their hard work on Opencore which has resulted in breathing new life into old Macs.

I had Sonoma 14.0 on my MacBook Pro 2013 and had problems with wifi and was overall laggy and sometimes unresponsive. Than i installed 14.1 with OCLP 1.1.0 and now works everything flawlessly expect battery life is worse it last around half hour to hour less than with previous version, depends on usage.

Mac Mini Late 2012 i7 / 6, 2: didn't complete Sonoma 14.1 update. Goit stuck on a black screen. Booting not possible, progress bar got stuck at about 40 %. Had to force it shut down again. Rebooted into recovery mode, tried the terminal app with the recommended work-around. Again, no booting possible, progress bar got stuck at about 40 %. I then tried rebooting into safe mode (SHIFT key held while rebooting). It took quite a lot of time but eventually showed the log in screen of Sonoma again. Everything super slow and laggy which reminded me of running the actual root patches again.

This machine was connected to the internet via Ethernet. Hav to use cable bond keyboard and mouse as the wireless functions were disabled. Lucky enough, I had both, cable bond equipment and an ethernet connection to the web. OCLP ran root patches, loaded KDK and installed it to disk. Asked for a reboot and that finally brought the machine back to life! Phew!

Gave me goosebumps. Not the good ones. :) But it's up and wroking again. Hope it will stay that way. My Mac Mini now is on Sonoma 14.1 / Safari 17.1 and all via OCLP v1.1.0

A big thank you to all developers involved!! As for my iMac 2009 (11, 1 / i7 2.8 GHz with AMD Radeon 4850 512 MB graphics, I had to revert the root patched of v1.1.0 and installed v1.0.1 again as the foto app just kept refusing to open up at all. I will wait for Mr. Macintosh to give a GO before I try it again with the my other Mac Minis (6, 1 / i5) and iMac (12, 1 / 21.5 inch Mid 2011), which are all on v1.0.1 OCLP and Sonoma macOS 14.0 actually.

I updated my iMac 27' end 2015 and MBP mid 2015 with the yesterday evening published OCLP 1.2.0 to Sonoma 14.1. After installation I was not able to login because the system was very, very slow. On both machines..I can't type in my password. This was possible after a switch off/on restart and installation of the OCLP root patches from OCLP 1.2.0. Now all is fine. Many thanks to all developers.

[jonm]

Downloaded sonoma 14.1 update on my iMac late 2013 and did a root patch with OCLP 1.1.0 no issues at all everything is working great
On the other hand I had to downgrade to Monterrey on my MacBook Pro late 2011 due to being stuck on apple logo so I will keep it on Monterrey for now till there’s a fix
Thanks to Mr Macintosh for the tutorials and the developers which are doing a great job keeping older macs up to date

So I grabbed the wrong flash drive with opencore for a 13, 2 macbook pro and started the download into my 13, 3 iMac. Once it froze I realized what I had done and attempted to start fresh with a new flash drive. Now when I open opencore I get a message stating "We found you are currently booting OpenCore built for a different unit: MacBookPro13, 2". I can not figure out how to resolve this.

Hello, I have a little problem after installing the page with the 30 minutes with the Apple Mac OS Sonoma restart. It remains stuck on the apple and the charging bar. I hope I have explained my problem well, thank you for your response because I don't know how to do it

[wardverduyn]

I have a problem. I updated my MacBook Air 2017 to Sonoma 14.1. During the update, the screen went black and the progress bar went away. I followed the YT video about booting into safe mode, but when I boot into safe mode I need to log in, this works the first time, but then I need to login again (in Sonoma login style) and this glitches and I can’t enter my password

@Mr.Macintosh

I have an MBP 2017 13' and trying to use OCLP 1.1.0 to upgrade to Sonoma, I have done everything what you did in the video and after installation it goes back to recovery mode. any ideeas ?
Thank you

[zamahiel]

Thank you for your videos! I tried installing Sonoma but did not realize the OCLP’s update had an issue when automatically trying to update it. When Ventura tried to upgrade it did not work and now it’s stuck on loop and get the message it needs recovery. I have already tried solutions you showed on your videos but no luck. I have created a bootable usb to see if installing a fresh version would do the charm but it is not working. Any help?
