My old pal, Mac mini 2014 got stuck while upgrading from Sonoma to Sequoia using OCLP 2.0.2 through a bootable USB drive. Your booting into Safe mode process saved me. Thanks for your clean and detailed solution. :)

Dude, you are a lifesaver. I ran into this problem with OCLP 1.3 and Sonoma 14.2. I normally wait for a while before upgrading but decided to be reckless. Safe Mode did the trick for me. Had to do it 3 times. but eventually finished, then again in Safe mode had to install the root patches. Next boot without Safe Mode, it was stuck and I was about to power cycle, when suddenly the bar shot forward and now I am running 14.2 on my Macbook air.

Salute 🖖

Sonoma 14.1 works very well on my Mac Pro 5.1. Right after installing OCLP 1.1, I upgraded the Mac OS and during the system installation the process stopped. I restarted the Mac by holding the "option" button and when the startup screen appeared, I selected "EFI Boot". The Mac turned on again and the installation process was completed. After installation, bluetooth and wifi did not work as usual. Using a cable keyboard, I did "Post-Install Root Patch" in OCLP 1.1 and everything works fine

Holding down shift and booting into safe mode worked for me. I had updated using the System Settings, instead of the previous times using OCLP to patch first. Thanks.

My 2 Mac Pro mid 2012 were updated to Sonoma 14.1 without issues, created a macOS from OPC 1.1.0

10hrs ago my MacBook got stuck on the logo. Thank you for providing clear and measured directions to help me restore my system! Great post!!!

[Abzockdaddy]

Bro, fantastic! Since weeks my Pro stucks on logon and thx to u and your solution with „Safe Mode“ I‘m able to logon again. You and my son („Dad, never give up“) saved me around 1.000€ for a new Mac! Great!

[mammefuad]

This is the same as what happened to me when I told you about a malfunction the previous time in the 14.2 update, and when I entered safe mode, the installation was completed, I activated the patch, and the system became stable ... You are a really great person for your efforts

I can confirm that this works! My mid-June 2012 MBP is now running Sonoma 14.4, w/ OCLP 1.4.3, successfully. It was stuck on the Apple logo screen, but I rebooted and selected the EFI boot drive + Shift and it finally finished and booted up! Then I just patched the MBP boot drive, and now it's fully functional. Thank you!

After rebooting, selecting the OCLP EFI, and reaching the MacOS HD selection screen, press and hold the space bar and after a few moments you should see additional options to boot from, including the "Reset NVRAM" executable. Select it and proceed as indicated from there.

I did a full install on my MacBook Pro 15" 2015 11, 4 and all went well, I did this after the trouble seen by Mr Mac and yourself. I didnt mind reinstalling programs as most passwords are in my keychain and others I remember by second nature. Up and running with all programs and 14.1 installed in 2 and a half hours. Using opencore of course

I know several software programs but the hardware end of it I am at a loss. I wasn't able to connect to WIFI so I watched your video probably four times before I attempted to load the root patches after I had updated to 14.1 OMG it worked!Thank you sooo much from a newbie!

[stevensahyun]

Jessie is an absolute hero! Thank you so much! Shift and Post install trick worked on MacMini 2014 with Sonoma 14.5

[thisndlife]

Thank you for this. Shift and enter worked for me after a couple of attempts 🎉

[lisagunther]

Thank you so much Jessie!
Your videos help a lot in this painful journey.
However I'm still missing the last step, booting without USB (9:40 in your video)
Although I installed Open Core to my internal drive, EFI is not showing up when I eject the USB and reboot.
It only works with USB. Any advice on what to do?

[trevorpsy]

Hey Jessie. Inadvertently you solved nagging problem. You may recall several weeks ago my email saying that Photoshop ran very slowly on my unsupported Mac running Monterey. Turns out, I had not reinstalled the OpenCore boot files after upgrading to Monterrey from Big Sur. After hearing you address this problem earlier today, I went through the upgrade process again, reinstalled the OpenCore files, and all is well.

Thanks.

This happened to my late '13 MBP. I hadn't even updated yet. Was still on 14.0. Only updated OCLP to 1.21, updated root patch in preparation for the upgrade and got stuck after restart. Tried everything. Ended up creating a new partition on the internal SSD, installing there using a Sonoma USB I'd already created, installing OCLP 1.3 and restoring to the new partition. Long process but worked for me.

[davidlai]

encountered a problem installing the OS after downloading it. Although I successfully downloaded it, when I reached the step to select the local macOS installer, the window displayed 'Install macOS Sonoma (requires High Sierra)' in a faded color. I would appreciate your advice on this.

I downgraded to OCLP 1.0.1 and it works with 14.1. I did this on 2012 Mac mini 2012 and MBP13 2012 and MBA13 2015. Call it a workaround.

[LeonardoDabus]

Mine MacBook Pro Touch Bar 2017 did update without any issues (OCLP 1.1 and Sonoma 14.1). Had Sonoma 14 and OCLP 1.0 already installed and upgraded to 1.1 before upgrading macOS.
