How to Fix Can't Boot Updating to OpenCore 0.7.4 from 0.6.6

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

I am trying to update to OpenCore 0.7.4 so I can upgrade from Big Sur to Monterey but I am unable to get OpenCore to boot from usb in order to test everything is working. I am really at a loss since I can't understand why OpenCore 0.7.4 gets stuck at [EB|LOG:EXITBS:START].

I have tried everything in the trouble shooting section on the OpenCore website but nothing has helped. Everything has worked flawlessly from 0.6.6 and earlier I don't understand why 0.7.4 isn't working at all.

My PC is i7-6700T HD530 integrated graphics and Asus Q170T motherboard.

Anyone have any ideas where to start?
