I'm on Sonoma right now, on a 2009 Mac Pro. I'm 71 and not a super computer nerd....it wasn't rocket science. On this computer I had to buy a METAL compatible graphics card - bought an old GX 680 on Ebay for 30 bucks and flashed the thing as described in a YouTube video - also had to upgrade the firmware on the computer from 4.1 to 5.1. Again, there were videos on YouTube. I think the best part was that I bought this computer, about a month ago, on Ebay for $49 and $36 dollars shipping. The thing is in great condition. I upgraded the RAM to 32 gig for about 30 bucks. So, for around $150.00 I have a nice Mac running the latest OS. Thanks to you and the other folks who provide these videos.

This unsupported trick just gets easier and easier every time. I remember needing to make copious notes to myself a few years ago. And that’s not even mentioning your tutorials which are truly a gift to the OC crowd.

the first tutorial on YouTube that shows how to do it without USB (only method that works for me) thanks man

[simontompkins]

Excellent, no guff, no needless chat just technical information presented very clearly thank you

[MrMusk]

Thank you so much for your easy to understand tutorial. I followed it and now my Mid 2015 MacBook Pro has Sonoma despite being officially unsupported. The operating system works incredibly well with no issues.

Best yet. Now I feel I understand which parts of the process are doing what. The key that I was missing is installing oclp to a disk installs it configured for that specific mac (or other mac if you tell it to with the architrcture selection). Now I feel I can override parts where neccessary, such as using an install disk on another machine by installing oclp for the target achitecture on that disk. This really is the first tutorial of the many Ive seen that explained that properly. Thank you.

One of the rare YouTube videos where the title actually matches the content. Followed this great tutorial to easily upgrade my 2017 Macbook Air from Monterey to Sonoma 14.5 using Legacy Core Patcher 1.5. Ran the root patcher afterwards and also disabled auto updates. I tried to watch other videos from other YTers, but they are overlong, overly technical and lack the no-nonsense delivery methods. Geat job and thank you for this episode.

Just installed Sonoma on my MBAir early 2014 13 inch using your instructions, got stuck in the middle with a black screen with the white Apple logo. Turned the machine off and started over and got back through with no problems. This is without a doubt the best tutorial to use on the interweb, very concise instructions that work. I don't know what I did to screw it up, but worked perfect the second time through. Thanks, Jessie!! Great teacher.

This was brilliant, and exactly as promised. The video was calmly and confidently delivered, with just the detail needed. I have used open core before, and always follow a guide video. For me, this has been the best guide to updating with OCLP. Thank you so much. Make sure to play to the end, and turn off automatic updates!.

This is really amazing. My 2012 MacBook Pro is now updated to Sonoma. Runs A+ thank you this tutorial works

[upatnite]

Danke, Danke, Danke! Your video with instructions is SUPERB! I had watched another video prior to yours, which had a few omissions. I spent the entire evening trying to achieve the same results as shown in thIS video. Every time I got to the final part of the installation, it would hang. However, your video not only helped me install Sonoma on a 2015 MacBook Pro but also Ventura (fully working - Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and weather) on a mid-2011 MacMini Intel i7. I shared the link to your video on the other person's YouTube page to help others who might have encountered the same issue I did before finding your video. Your instructions were perfect! As we say in America "Good Lookin Out!".

Just upgraded my MBA 2017 using step 2 - Upgrading. The easiest way to upgrade my MBA. Thanks, Jess.

You just saved my old MacBook Pro 2012, i was stuck basically with a brick, amazing tutorial very accessible for non mega geeks. Thank you so much

[howardlatham]

This Man is the best. Very clear instructions, he is a gifted Teacher and no unnecessary chatter.

[Lytingale]

This works great! Very clear directions. I successfully installed Sonoma on my 2014 MacBook Pro, which then let me install TurboTax to get my taxes done. (It took me several days to work up the courage to try it.) Thank you!

[markbotfield]

Sonoma running perfectly!! Thank you soooo much!! I will donate to the Dev's!! ❤

[vs_artem]

Very useful video! Thank you very much! The best video I've seen so far!

[MarcelReimer]

This is the best instructional video on installing macOS on uninstalled Macs. Thanks a million!!

Really great tutorial. I have a 2009 5, 5 that I had already upgraded to Catalina not using OCLP, so it was not up-gradable using this technique. I used a blank SSD mounted internally and booted off the Catalina drive connected through an adapter. Everything worked fine up to the point of installing OCLP on to the USB drive. It would not detect the flash drive. What made it work was connecting a USB 2.0 hub.
