just installed macOS 14.1.2 with OCLP 1.2.1 sucessfully on a macPro6,1 last night - it needed the post-install root patch to get the wifi and the second monitor support working. fortunately OCLP 1.2.1 fixed a bug where it didnt cache the kexts for this process before running the update - and when macOS started installing 14.1.2 - oclp was able to detect this (just as described in the video), and prepare for the situation - and thus it all went well. thank you so much OCLP team for making such a stable system for supporting legacy machines. 🙏
just one question. is it possible to reinstall macos Sonoma option 2 on macos Recovery using ethernet cable as I don't have wifi connection to download macos Sonoma from Apple servers due to the fact that I've booted my mac from OpenCore Legacy Patcher USB drive as I was getting black screen! Please need help! Please reply at the soonest!
iMac 27‘ end 2015 and MBP 15’ mid 2015 updated flawlessly. KDK new version automatically started from OCLP. So no issues at all. Let’s wait for the next bigger update in December. Again many thanks Jessie! I wish you and Family great seasons!
Issue with iMac 15,1 is that Apple has dropped support for Broadcom wifi chipset in the KDK for Sonoma. Wifi works in “limp mode” with Safari not at all with Chrome. Workaround was to put back into service an AirPort Express (Gen2) to Extend WiFi and use the Ethernet port to provide stable Internet connection to the iMac 15,1.
Hi, about MBP 15, you updated using system update because of notification about new update or Sonoma or using another method? Have your install first latest KDK for Sonoma 14.1.2 or no need special preparing, just install update?
OUTSTANDING!!! My first upgrade attempt ended with a recycling boot, restart loop. I built a second installer from OpenCore and tried again -- and it works perfectly! I lost zero data. Machine: MacPro 5,1

I had to use a MacBook M1 to download Sonoma via WiFi (using open core's create boot disk option) and create a boot installer on USB memory. My ethernet cable connects the internet for my MacPro, but with Sonoma I can not use SMB to connect to my MacBook via ethernet - and I don't know why. The black screen during my second install lasted for 90 to 120+ minutes. (And made me extremely nervous) @@gerardllosa261
Thanks, i did it on my 5,1 2009, RX 560 2 GB, 16 GB Ram the following way: Running Monterey 12.6.6 on NVME 1 TB, cloned on another NVME via CCC enabled Apple booting procedures with all data on it. Worked and booted the first time. Then updadet OCLP to the newest version and installed it to disk. Then downloaded 14.1.2 and installed to cloned NVME, without USB-installer. Then started the update to 14.1.2 on the cloned Monterey. Denitiely no issues, EFI-Sonoma booted, and regognized of course my old driver for Line 6 guitar interface. Works. I only had to upgrade Paralles to version 19, to use my win7 virtual machine. Works. Only the old Blootooth was a problem, until i deleted the plist and reseted the VRAM. Summary: I am runnig and working on Sonoma 14.1.2 stable on my 5,1 cheesegrater now. Best regards to your work!
Hello, it works with my MacBook Air 11" 2013 - first I installed the KDK from Apple for Sonoma 14.1.2 an then I did the update via system settings. Thanks to Jessie's Flying!
Jessie , this is brilliant ! I am a bit new to this , so before I do anything to any of my computers , I am going to watch your videos and learn as much as I can , before I risk messing up ! My main computer is a 2008 dual 4 core 2.8GHZ Mac Pro 5,1 with 16 Gb RAM ( colloquially an 8 core ) , and currently running El Capitan , I use it mainly for photography and video work , using Adobe CC Lightroom and Photoshop , neither of which have updated in several years because my OS is too old . For I use video Final Cut Studio 3 , Final Cut pro 7 , I still like the old timeline method of working rather than the later , clip based , versions ( for which i have the original retail installation pack )I also have a Matrox MXO2 , which I use for capturing analogue video from legacy formats ( VHS/S-VHS , Betamax , Video 8 , Hi-8 , U-Matic , MII , Betacam ) , besides also having DV/HDV/XDCAM , and have an eSATA card for running my various G Technology G Speed arrays , besides my various G-RAID and G-Drive external drives all on the FW800 bus . I also have two slightly older 'cheese grater' Mac pros and a PowerMac G5 , all of which hang on my network , along with my young son's iMac ( I need to check exactly what it is as I can't remember , but it also runs El Cap . Besides my 8 core Mac Pro , the other machine I use regularly is my 2009 Unibody 17" MBP , which is a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 8Gb RAM . I do have some even older macs which I've just kept after getting newer ones . I am tempted to get a 12 core 'cheese grater' model as they can be had for very reasonable prices now and may give me more options ; not so keen on the 'trashcan' models as they don't look able to accept expansion cards , and the latest Mac Pro models are out of my budget range . It might seem prudent to me to remove the current hard drives from my Mac Pro and put in new ones , from which I can do a Snow Leopard install from my original install discs , sign into iCloud and easily upgrade to El Cap . With my original hard discs intact , I guess I can always get back to where I was before ? While all of this is new to me , I am not new to computing : I took my degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 1977 , and my first experience of computing in the early 1970s was coding Fortran while still at school ; later I did programming on a Digital PDP80 and my first 'personal computer' at work was an Apple II ( before they were MacIntosh ! ) . At home , I started out with a Commodore 64 , and worked my way up through the Amiga Range , before buying an iMac G3 DV when it came out ; because that unit was faulty , and it was Christmas , the store gave me a PowerMac G4 in exchange , and I had to buy a monitor . Sometime around there I also bought a PowerBook G3 Pismo , which seemed cutting edge at the time . later I got a PowerMac G5 , dual 2.5Ghz , and that is the machine still lying upstairs with some legacy software on it , although not used any longer ; i also still have one PowerBook G4 , although I had at least three 17" PowerBook G4s . So , I am not new to Apple , and am pretty competent at a lot of things , but i very much recognise what I do not know , so before making mistakes , i want to read and learn before I risk messing up . Jesse , having read the above , can you direct me to any particular videos for 'newbies' ? I also welcome comment and advice from other members , but I won't do anything until I learn more and minimise the risks of turning my existing machines into bricks . I will probably start with one of my 4 core mac Pro machines and only try to update my 8 core machine if I have success with that . Also watching eBay for a 12 core machine with the fastest processors and as much RAM as possible , which may then become my main machine . Thanks in advance , Derek .
Hi Derek, that’s an interesting history of yours! I would recommend my tutorial here for a start: Easiest Tutorial to instal macOS Sonoma on UNSUPPORTED MACs! th-cam.com/video/gmwneF_YsCA/w-d-xo.html and my video here about the Mac Pro with PC graphic cards: th-cam.com/video/p0tOmD3QEow/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PEj2px9T8HSrcGqd
For those of you stuck at 1/3 progressbar (like happened to me), I found some (APFS) snapshots on the internal drive greyed out or having a size of 0 bytes. If you delete these, and then, it boots through. Although no graphic accelarion, it gave me the possibility to poke around and make a new installer on a USB stick which -after this- worked ok. Hope this helps others, as I couldn't find anything related to corrupt APFS snapshots related to failed updating on unsupported Macs.
@JessiesFlying Disk Utility, via install / recovery option during bootup. Select view APFS snapshots and then the disks, most of the time its the last snapshot which is corrupt or 0 bytes.

I have the 2010 white macbook and i was stuck on the error stating something about could not finish system update - i read the description on mr macintosh video about resetting the VRAM like you stated and i also plugged my usb installer directly into the computer and not the hub i had to use for a wired mouse and keyboard and whala it WORKED! happy days!
I went from Ventura 13.4 to Sonoma 14.1.2 without issue on Mac Pro mid 2009 - wired internet connection. Also in Mac Pro 2012 - from Ventura 13.6 no problems at all - I think (impression only) Sonoma is running faster on both machines compared to Ventura
You're very lucky. I updated my 2012 iMac (13,2) to the latest os using legacy patcher and now it takes me hours just to get the computer started without the mouse freezing and then once I finally get in I only have an hour or two of usage before the computer freezes.
I wanted to install Sonoma 14.1.2 using system update method but OCLP didn't detect that I was downloading a Sonoma update. I reinstalled OCLP and I also deleted launch agent to force its recreation. Nothing worked. For some reason I always found the launch agent unabled when I looked at launch agents in my CleanmyMac app. I wonder what’s wrong. I downloaded and manually installed Sonoma 14.1.2 KDK and then I proceeded to update my system. It worked, but it’s a pity that OCLP didn’t do the KDK install automatically. I am just sharing my experience in case it helps anyone. Thanks a lot for your work and for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
By the way, after updating to 14.1.2 I noticed that there are two KDK folders in Library. Is it safe to just delete KDK 14.1.1 folder? I did it and it seemed OK.
Hello thank you for all your efforts --- I have a Mac pro 5.1 and it has an AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 8 GB video card which is new but unfortunately H264 not work what is the reason for that?
patch the installer, install it. update opencore before you install any updates and always WAIT. Give it some time before you do it. But I done this latest update on a 2014 mac mini and 2017 iMac today, all good
I messed up on mmy Mac OS 2009, everything was fine and I press root patch then now I am stuck on the start logging page. 😢😢😢 (it was already upgraded to Sonoma) I am stuck all around , I spill coffee on my laptop and my keyboard doesn’t work… has been one of those days. Then I try to put my bootable usb and everything was fine until it goes to recovery mode and I wasn’t able to use my corded mouse or keyboard. I am having the worst day!
Oh no, that sounds terrible. Does safe mode work (keeping shift pressed)? Or maybe that method here: UNSUPPORTED MAC stuck after Root Patch? Here is a solution! th-cam.com/video/mNcjmvzS0Vo/w-d-xo.html
Jessie: I have Open Core Legacy v 1.3.0. Can I use this version to update to 14.1.2? I understood you to say that all I have to do is select 14.1.2 and the KDK would automatically updated. Is that correct?
Hello, I have a 2017 MacBook Pro Without TouchBar and when I go to install on the disk and the 3 reboots are started in one of those restarts, it takes me to the window where the recovery is where the icons of "Restore from Time Machie / Install MacOs Sonoma / Safari / Disk Utility" I give it again to Install MacOs Sonoma and I give the disk where I want to install and it restarts again and it shows me the recovery screen is all repetitive thank you

Hi there, I would like to ask an amateur question, please: Currently, I am looking to get a refurbished Mac, and my choices are between a Mac mini, late 2014 with 16 GB RAM and 512 SSD hard drive VS Apple Mac Pro (rash can) Intel Xeon 2.7 GHz 12-core 2.70 (2013) Please kindly inform me which one of these 2 will be good for video editing, Photoshop, and After Effects projects? Thank you very much in advance. Currently, I have an old iMac since mid-2011, and it has served well so far, Please note that I have no interest in getting the M1 or M2 versions or any current desktop iMacs at the moment.
Im always curious: how about security? Now, I’ve installed Ventura on my iMac 13.1 with the latest security updates I guess. But nevertheless, this is based on a cracked system. How does the general vulnerability compare to let’s say a PC running Windows? And additionally, how large is the risk compared to a brand new Mac with the original system? Especially, using passwords in the internet….. I ran the 13.1 for 2 years I guess, before I recognized that it didn’t get any security update anymore. So also, what was that risk compared to OCLP now?
Hello. I got the opencore version just released for OS 14.2 but I’m a bit confused on how to proceed. Should I install OoenCore and go through the reboot process? I’m already downloading 14.2 through Mac OS software update. How should I proceed? How should I proceed? Thanks in advance.
First install OCLP, then install the update, then do the root patch and make sure it’s using the correct KDK - or just wait until I release my new video and don’t jump updates immediately
Guys, I need help. Does anyone know how to enter Recovery mode if the system is installed via OpenCore Patcher? The bottom line is that when I press and hold Command + R during a reboot, I get a message that there is no boot disk. Is it possible to enter Recovery mode in this case?
@@vs_artem that’s weird, but pressing CMD+R during boot should bring up recovery, maybe try some other commands shown here: Troubleshooting your MAC: All Shortcuts & Boot Modes! th-cam.com/video/A9SmsdUCTmk/w-d-xo.html

@@JessiesFlying I'm not sure what's the version number but I think its the latest one, but it worked fine now I realized that some patches were not installed from OCLP and and I have installed them and it rebooted and started normally, I appreciate your time considering my comments, thanks
I had put this version on my 2015 Macbook pro with its upgraded i7 and 16gb of ram and the fans run like a jet for just basic use and watching TH-cam it would also take awhile to just load the macs specs, I ended up just going with Ventura and it runs as it should, I've already replaced the paste since I swapped out the logic board over my busted i5 one, so I'm not sure with why it gets hot for basic use, would lowkey appreciate some tips for me to keep the mac cool since I plan on using this mac for computer science next year
@@JessiesFlying I had it set to one of Ventura's back ground shots, and it would still be cranking up the fans, I only ever used it for like 3 hours til I had enough with the jankyness even on Ventura now the fans still crank high but not crazy when I'm just using the browser with only 3 tabs opened it shouldn't be heated up that much especially with 16gb of ram, I even have a meter where it shows the cpu and ram usage and cpu goes from 40-80% and ram usage is at 6gb out of the 16 I have, it isn't that bad with Ventura but its still noticeable when the fans crank on
@@JessiesFlying could be but I'm not gonna really complain now I'm just honestly glad I can still use the machine for just buying this macbook non working for 40 bucks to just replacing its logic board and upgrading the nvme to a 1 Tb. its still a solid note book for my case, for my costs they all add up to $210 for this thing and as well as having a very good display this is my first mac coming from a average Windows user so who knows maybe I'll make the full switch and get a M1 or M2 MBP later on 🤷🏽♂️

Good Morning, i updated to 14.1.2 from the normal update, however it did the full install as indicated by the file size. I did not see OCP download the latest KDK but my OCL says all root patches are installed. Why doesn’t OCP recognize the download and show me the downloading of the latest KDK?

I’m new to using the open core, it came preinstalled on a iMac late 2013 with Sonoma 14.1.1 that I picked up for a few hundred dollars. I don’t plan do update it any further because everything works fine and don’t see the need. I’d like to setup my Apple ID for iTunes, mail, and App Store is using this open core safe from my information getting stolen, lost or even hacked? Or should I go back? to using the last supported version which I think is Catalina.
OpenCore is safe as it only fakes a supported MAC during boot - it doesn't change anything in macOS despite adding old drivers.... but you cannot be sure 100%. so either use OpenCore and accept any security issue (never heard of one) or use an older macOS and live with its security issues as its not updated anymore....

I am a bit new to this , so before I do anything to any of my computers , I am going to watch your videos and learn as much as I can , before I risk messing up !
My main computer is a 2008 dual 4 core 2.8GHZ Mac Pro 5,1 with 16 Gb RAM ( colloquially an 8 core ) , and currently running El Capitan , I use it mainly for photography and video work , using Adobe CC Lightroom and Photoshop , neither of which have updated in several years because my OS is too old . For I use video Final Cut Studio 3 , Final Cut pro 7 , I still like the old timeline method of working rather than the later , clip based , versions ( for which i have the original retail installation pack )I also have a Matrox MXO2 , which I use for capturing analogue video from legacy formats ( VHS/S-VHS , Betamax , Video 8 , Hi-8 , U-Matic , MII , Betacam ) , besides also having DV/HDV/XDCAM , and have an eSATA card for running my various G Technology G Speed arrays , besides my various G-RAID and G-Drive external drives all on the FW800 bus . I also have two slightly older 'cheese grater' Mac pros and a PowerMac G5 , all of which hang on my network , along with my young son's iMac ( I need to check exactly what it is as I can't remember , but it also runs El Cap . Besides my 8 core Mac Pro , the other machine I use regularly is my 2009 Unibody 17" MBP , which is a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 8Gb RAM . I do have some even older macs which I've just kept after getting newer ones . I am tempted to get a 12 core 'cheese grater' model as they can be had for very reasonable prices now and may give me more options ; not so keen on the 'trashcan' models as they don't look able to accept expansion cards , and the latest Mac Pro models are out of my budget range .
It might seem prudent to me to remove the current hard drives from my Mac Pro and put in new ones , from which I can do a Snow Leopard install from my original install discs , sign into iCloud and easily upgrade to El Cap . With my original hard discs intact , I guess I can always get back to where I was before ?
While all of this is new to me , I am not new to computing : I took my degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 1977 , and my first experience of computing in the early 1970s was coding Fortran while still at school ; later I did programming on a Digital PDP80 and my first 'personal computer' at work was an Apple II ( before they were MacIntosh ! ) . At home , I started out with a Commodore 64 , and worked my way up through the Amiga Range , before buying an iMac G3 DV when it came out ; because that unit was faulty , and it was Christmas , the store gave me a PowerMac G4 in exchange , and I had to buy a monitor . Sometime around there I also bought a PowerBook G3 Pismo , which seemed cutting edge at the time . later I got a PowerMac G5 , dual 2.5Ghz , and that is the machine still lying upstairs with some legacy software on it , although not used any longer ; i also still have one PowerBook G4 , although I had at least three 17" PowerBook G4s .
So , I am not new to Apple , and am pretty competent at a lot of things , but i very much recognise what I do not know , so before making mistakes , i want to read and learn before I risk messing up .
Jesse , having read the above , can you direct me to any particular videos for 'newbies' ? I also welcome comment and advice from other members , but I won't do anything until I learn more and minimise the risks of turning my existing machines into bricks . I will probably start with one of my 4 core mac Pro machines and only try to update my 8 core machine if I have success with that . Also watching eBay for a 12 core machine with the fastest processors and as much RAM as possible , which may then become my main machine .
Thanks in advance , Derek .

@@JessiesFlying Thanks Jessie , I appreciate your help !
For those of you stuck at 1/3 progressbar (like happened to me), I found some (APFS) snapshots on the internal drive greyed out or having a size of 0 bytes. If you delete these, and then, it boots through. Although no graphic accelarion, it gave me the possibility to poke around and make a new installer on a USB stick which -after this- worked ok. Hope this helps others, as I couldn't find anything related to corrupt APFS snapshots related to failed updating on unsupported Macs.
Thx for the info. Where did you look for the snapshots?
@JessiesFlying Disk Utility, via install / recovery option during bootup. Select view APFS snapshots and then the disks, most of the time its the last snapshot which is corrupt or 0 bytes.

I have the 2010 white macbook and i was stuck on the error stating something about could not finish system update - i read the description on mr macintosh video about resetting the VRAM like you stated and i also plugged my usb installer directly into the computer and not the hub i had to use for a wired mouse and keyboard and whala it WORKED! happy days!
Great! 👍
I went from Ventura 13.4 to Sonoma 14.1.2 without issue on Mac Pro mid 2009 - wired internet connection. Also in Mac Pro 2012 - from Ventura 13.6 no problems at all - I think (impression only) Sonoma is running faster on both machines compared to Ventura
You're very lucky.
I updated my 2012 iMac (13,2) to the latest os using legacy patcher and now it takes me hours just to get the computer started without the mouse freezing and then once I finally get in I only have an hour or two of usage before the computer freezes.
That’s also my impression
@@petergreen1869 did you check if the root patches are installed?
Thanks for another great video! 😊
I wanted to install Sonoma 14.1.2 using system update method but OCLP didn't detect that I was downloading a Sonoma update.
I reinstalled OCLP and I also deleted launch agent to force its recreation. Nothing worked. For some reason I always found the launch agent unabled when I looked at launch agents in my CleanmyMac app.
I wonder what’s wrong.
I downloaded and manually installed Sonoma 14.1.2 KDK and then I proceeded to update my system.
It worked, but it’s a pity that OCLP didn’t do the KDK install automatically.
I am just sharing my experience in case it helps anyone.
Thanks a lot for your work and for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
By the way, after updating to 14.1.2 I noticed that there are two KDK folders in Library. Is it safe to just delete KDK 14.1.1 folder? I did it and it seemed OK.
@@valorn76 yes, you can delete it. Some Mac’s don’t require KDK for root patching, then OCLP doesn’t download it

Im always curious: how about security? Now, I’ve installed Ventura on my iMac 13.1 with the latest security updates I guess. But nevertheless, this is based on a cracked system. How does the general vulnerability compare to let’s say a PC running Windows? And additionally, how large is the risk compared to a brand new Mac with the original system?
Especially, using passwords in the internet…..
I ran the 13.1 for 2 years I guess, before I recognized that it didn’t get any security update anymore.
So also, what was that risk compared to OCLP now?
OCLP doesn’t change anything in the system’s kernel, so vulnerability is the same than an original Mac
@@JessiesFlying really? What about deactivated SIP settings?
@@hallodidldu is not needed, depending on Mac model maybe only partially

First install OCLP, then install the update, then do the root patch and make sure it’s using the correct KDK - or just wait until I release my new video and don’t jump updates immediately
Do I need 32gb USB drive to make an macOS installer for 14.1? I tried to do it with 16gb USB drive but it didn't work .

I’m new to using the open core, it came preinstalled on a iMac late 2013 with Sonoma 14.1.1 that I picked up for a few hundred dollars. I don’t plan do update it any further because everything works fine and don’t see the need. I’d like to setup my Apple ID for iTunes, mail, and App Store is using this open core safe from my information getting stolen, lost or even hacked? Or should I go back? to using the last supported version which I think is Catalina.
OpenCore is safe as it only fakes a supported MAC during boot - it doesn't change anything in macOS despite adding old drivers.... but you cannot be sure 100%. so either use OpenCore and accept any security issue (never heard of one) or use an older macOS and live with its security issues as its not updated anymore....
