Early 2013 15" Macbook Pro running MacOS Sonoma through OLCP for several months now.
First symptom: My internet connection seemed to stop working suddenly. Still appeared connected to wifi, but nothing would load. Internet worked fine on other devices.. so I figured a reboot would do the trick.
Second symptom: Upon login, black background and taskbar. When I try to launch an app, returned to the login screen. Try login again, and error message saying WindowServer crashed.
Tried troubleshooting with a LLM.. it suggested I needed to reinstall root patches. Held option while rebooting, selected "EFI boot".. and then.. rebooted back into MacOS (same issues) and not the OLCP menu (which the LLM said I'd end up at)
At this point, I wanted to stop, and get human input in case copilot was leading me astray.
Please help!
I did not (willingly, intentionally) install any MacOS updates..

Installing macOS Tahoe on unsupported hardware is NOT supported by the OpenCore Legacy Patcher developers. Please be aware that numerous users have attempted installation, often resulting in serious issues including hardware malfunctions and complete data loss.
Also understand that OCLP supports over 83 Mac models! Just because it "worked" on one, does not mean it will not cause major issues on your device.
NOTE: You might have seen a new piece of software called OCLP-Mod. The OCLP developers do NOT recommend using any modification of the genuine OCLP software. Keep in mind, anyone is able to make a fork of OCLP (a fork is a modification of the original project). No other software is checked and verified safe or actually working on all 83 Mac models.
In closing, please only use the genuine version of OCLP. Do not install Tahoe until a fully compatible public version of OCLP is released. Thanks!
