Hi guys! Really strange one!

Just downloaded the latest version of opencore, created a sonoma usb installer.

Rebooted imac from the open core menu, it rebooted but to a black screen.

It turns on, that I know, because if i keep pressing the enter key, it will play a sound as if field not accepting text.

If I keep the alt key pressed and turn it on .. still black. No light, no screen. Flashed my flashlight against the screen - nothing.

Option + cmd + P + R does nothing.

Any suggestions! Did I just brick this imac?

Thanks!

I tested macOS Sequoia & OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.2 against 13 different Mac models. Let me know if you have any questions! 😀

How do I update my mbp running mavericks, it won’t accept anything, was running Ventura beautifully untill I tried an update to Sonoma which virtually crashed my system, had to go back to original operating system which is unfortunately Mavericks which oclp can’t update, in fact can’t find anything that will work Any help would be great thankyou

Hi,

Can anyone advise on how to resolve the issue with installing macOS Sonoma on my iMac? I have a 27" iMac Late 2012 with an Intel Core i7. I can't install OpenCore Legacy Patcher on it. I've already tried different versions of macOS and different versions of OpenCore Legacy Patcher, but nothing works. Initially, the installation goes smoothly for about 30 minutes; the iMac restarts several times, but at the final stage, after another restart, the progress bar stops moving, and the process freezes. Nothing happens, no matter how long I wait. I can only turn off the iMac with the power button, and after turning it on again, the process freezes immediately. I had the same issue before with my 2012 MacBook. I can use this same USB drive without issues on another iMac, but I can't get the new macOS to install on this one. Can anyone suggest what might be the problem?

Bonjour,

Je viens d'installer Ventura 13.7.1 sur Imac mi2011- 21,5 pouces, avec la version Open Core 2.0.2

j'en ai profité pour changer mon Disque dur par SSD 1 To et j'ai augmenté la mémoire Ram à 20Go.

Formidable, rien à voir, il va super vite.

j'ai un soucis avec les photos, elles s'affichent et disparaissent aussitot.

Quelqu'un peu m'aider.

Dois je installer une autre version? ou autre. que dois je faire

Merci

My MacBook Pro is booting up (from full shutdown) the second I plug in the power adapter.

And when closing the lid, when power is plugged in; it won't go to sleep:

OCLP 2.02

MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.6 15", late 2016 (Model A1707)
OS: Sonoma

when it's on battery, there is no issue.

I tried to select the "Hibernation Work-around' in OCLP (and then build Build and Install to disk)
but that didn't solve it

anyone had the same problem?

thx

-Phil

I bought it for 40 euros, added a Kingston SSD and I am dual booting it with Mojave and the latest MacOS 15.1, but becuse the battery is not in the laptop its so slow. I tried to enable the setting(Disable Firmware trottling)in OpenCore but every time I do it and rebuild and install opencore its reverts to being disabled.

Noiticed that EliteMacx86 forum is downas of today (31.10.2024), anybody knows when its gonna be up again?

Running a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 with Monterey booting from an nvme, and Windows 11 from a separate SSD. I installed it onto the machine during OCLP 1.5 and have not updated my OCLP since. Everything has been working perfectly.

My question is, would I benefit from updating to the latest version of OpenCore? Since it prompts me to update every time I boot up Monterey. Or if everything is working fine, should I not take the risk of something breaking after updating OCLP, since I'm not planning on upgrading my OS?

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch, mid 2012 2.5Ghz Dual-Core Intel Core i5

And I am running MacOS Ventura using OCLP.

I noticed apps have been crashing during use specially when I use special keys(escape, back, forwards, alt, crl etc) It was bearable but now, I it has become frustrating.

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Cheers

I have made a opencore install with v. 15.0. How do you upgrade to 15.1 - I don’t get the offer in AppStore…

Ok, so I got open core, but it isn't configured and I can't get a bootable USB (i got a ventura iso and flashed it to a HD, the only big enough drive i have) so can some one help me? PS. My notebook is a dell inspiron 7460 (ik I need to change my wifi card)

Hi all I've recently got into the world of hackitosh software on my pc,all seems ok, I've only had quick look at it and seems functional,I'm not to bothered with Bluetooth or WiFi not working as it did work on Ethernet,I'm a Windows guy..the reason for me get a hackitosh up and running is I want to have a go at Logic pro and need macOS software to run it,my questions are can I go to app store and download load it without a apple id,is possible to just download load it on Windows and then run the file back on the hackitosh ..if all goes well I'm more than happy to buy logic pro and a 2nd hand macbook..I can see that having a hackitosh is not straightforward and needs looking after,any help and information would be appreciated

Thanks

Trying very hard for the past three days to upgrade my MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) Intel HD, 16GB ram, 500GB SSD, intel core i7 from Catalina 10.15.7. to Monterey. I am using OCLP version 2.0.2. The installer file is saved to my WD My Passport external drive (1TB size), which I reformatted to APFS/ GUID schema. I installed OpenCore to the SSD (and am aware all is going to be erased).

Upon rebooting I immediately press the option key, and eventually end up on the language interface (see my screenshots in the comments below). I have tried 8 times now, and it is always the language interface. I have scoured the net and don't see anyone who is stuck on this page, please help!

So today. I used opencore to download sequoia and the install all went fine. But unfortunately I have have no WiFi or anyway to connect. I done some research and I need to do root patches. I have absolutely no way of doing this the app isn't installed. I cannot install it. Anyone have any recommendations. I've tried to do internet recovery which just fails as soon as I connect to WiFi.

Hi patchers

I installed Sequoia on an external drive with OCLP just for testing. Now that I know for sure that everything runs smoothly I want to clone copy the external disk onto my internal drive.

I followed the steps advised in some YT videos, I copied the whole drive onto the internal one with CCC and then, with MountEFI I copied the EFI folders, but when I boot it I get three options with the terminal icon, BootKicker, OpenShell.efi and Reset NVRAM.

What am I doing wrong?

I must admit that those tutorials were for Sonoma but I don't think it is much different.. is it?

Thank you

This post is not to discourage people from using OpenCoreLegacyPatcher, because honestly, this thing is great, kudos to the creators.

However, in my experience, my MBP from 2015 with 16GB of RAM, has had quite some issues performance slowness, specially with the image processing, freezing a lot, and sometimes apps won't work well or will stop responding at minimal tasks. This is just my experience and I am going back to Monterey, hopefully I can try OCLP later when I am unable to do anything with Monterey or app support is gone.

Thank you for those who made this possible, you really a genius at what you do!

For those who haven't had issues with OCLP on their MBP from 2015, pls keep using it, it's just my machine maybe and I am okay with deleting the content on my SSD.

Cheers!

I keep getting this error multiple USB Drives, so I dont think its related to USB

Making disk bootable...

Hello - was using this as a little idea after finding a 2.2 Quad-Core i7 in a cupboard at work. Got Monterrey running on it fine but then, through not paying attention or being familiar with macOS ended up right into Sequoia 15.1. At this point it the screen resolution got things wrong and the text is very small. It says the Graphics is Display 20MB. Can someone point me in the direction of how to fix this. Otherwise its running really well.

When I click on Show all resolutions there are no additional options to change this. Color profile is Unknown Display. The desktop cant show any Wallpaper.

Thanks

A good practise is to wait a couple of months before updating to the latest os to avoid issues, i learned it the hard way and i didn't have a spare mac to gain access to my fd up mac. Hope this helps

I installed 2.0.2 OCLP and Sonoma 14.7 on my 2017 Macbook Pro 15” with touchbar and Spanish keyboard (MacBookPro14,3). The install went without a glitch.

However, I cannot sign into my Apple account. It takes ID and password, but nothing happens.

Then I continued the install skipping this step for later.

But I cannot sign in. I cannot sign into App store either.

Redid install. Same thing.

Downgraded to non-OCLP Ventura, and I can sign in.

I tried OCLP with Sonoma 14.0, and same thing happens. I cannot sign in.

Does anyone know what is causing this, or how to fix it?

hey guys I have a question I have updated my macbook using opencore to the 15.1 and I have my Iphone 13 Pro Max running ios 18.1 but when i try to use Iphone mirroring it says unable to connect

Hey friends, new here, I just didn't want to mess anything up. I am currently on my 2011 MacBook Pro with 8GB Ram and integrally SSD, its running great but I wanted to get it updated to a newer OS. So of course I have downloaded and built Sequoia on a USB stick, however I'm using a Kanex DisplayPort USB dongle since the two USB inputs on this MacBook are fried. So I am not sure if this is going to work. Due to how it powers up and runs, I didn't see the openlegacy patch when I went to boot it from the drive, it was just my normal hard drive and a backup boot that showed up. So I think I have installed the Sequoia OS on my internal hard drive, as its showing up in my launch pad with the apps. Wondering if I can run this install, or if I could get the patcher on to an SD card. Let me know how to proceed, wanted to get this Mac running my home automation and likely run home bridge on it, but I need to get a newer OS to do that. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi guys! If I update to sequoia 15.1 apple intelligence will be available?

Is it possible to install Sonoma on an MSI B760 motherboard and I 5 13300k Raptor Lake processor

Newbie to OCLP: I'm going to install Sequoia on my mid-2012 MBP, currently running Catalina.

The video tutorial I've watched mentioned that erasing the hard drive and doing a fresh install would give a better experience than opting for the "Install Sequoia" option after booting from the USB installer. They didn't expand on the reasons for this, but I'm inclined to do the same.

However, there are certain files, folders, media libraries (Photos and iTunes Media), Apps, and settings that I would ideally like to retain without setting them up afresh (for example, all my browser settings, Karabiner-Elements settings, Logitech App settings etc).

If I have a Time Machine backup of my current Catalina set up (I might also copy my hard-drive onto a spare HDD too), will it be possible to do the hard-drive erase and clean install, and then get the Catalina Time Machine backup to get the things I want across to the new install?

And as a side note, does this seem the better way of doing it, rather than just going with the "Install Sequoia" option and keeping everything as it is...

The system was not being used, I want to install a hackintosh, are the parts compatible? Will I have a problem with EFI? Since it is an unused system, I do not have very high expectations.

Does anyone know what's happening with Terran Orbital's share price frozen ?

A question that is best overcautious, at worst dumb, but I couldn't find anything in the documentation. Once OCLP has been applied, is updating MacOS using the native Software Update process recommended, or should one download the complete installer, patch it and install it as per the original OCLP process?

After I've gotten into the EFI installer, I select continue etc. It reboots once then boots straight back into the installer and if I select continue the cycle just repeats. Any tips?

I am trying to update to sequoia 15.1 and am currently on 15.0.1, but no updates are showing up in software update. I also turned on beta updates and no beta updates are showing up either.
