How to Fix an OCLP Mac Stuck at Login After Sequoia
A frozen login screen after a Sequoia update often means the system needs Post-Install Root Patch, but you must boot far enough to apply it.
Step-by-Step Fix:
- Reset NVRAM: Use Reset NVRAM in the OpenCore picker.
- Try a wired keyboard/mouse: Use direct USB devices, not hubs, Bluetooth, or adapters.
- Boot Safe Mode carefully: From OpenCore, hold Shift only after selecting macOS.
- Use another admin route: If possible, boot recovery and create/check an admin account with Terminal.
- Reinstall over macOS: Boot a Sequoia installer through OpenCore, reinstall, then immediately run OCLP root patches.
Original Question: "Stuck at login screen after boot"
Hi,
It's been a few weeks so I might not have all the steps recall-able. I have a 2013 era MacBook Pro (the thick one) i7. Been running OCLP for a while now. Wanted to update to Sequoia. Update seemed to go fine but now it's stuck at the login screen. Mouse doesn't move, no response. Tried Safe Mode, no luck. It won't do that. If I hold down the Shift key during reboot and it will just get about half way and restart. Tried Shift-Return, didn't get anywhere. Tried external keyboard and mouse. No luck.
I suspect it needs the OCLP root modifications done but I can't get it to boot to do that.
Any idea on how to get past this? thanks.
