MP 1,1-5,1 3,1 Post OCLP Monterey install hd to ssd restore via time machine endless boot loop

[Tex Tiles]

Thanks to some very helpful and generous people on this forum I managed to successfully install OCLP Monterey on my 3,1 on a hd. I just got a ssd and went through a long and trying re-install of OCLP Monterey onto the ssd, and then when you get your ONE chance to copy your data from your old system at the end of the install I chose time machine which did theoretically successfully transfer my time machine bu of my Monterey hd onto the ssd.

But when I try to boot into the ssd I get the endless boot loop. So I option start into the ssd efi, then choose the ssd monterey OS drive, then get the apple logo which goes about halfway and then reboots by itself. Endlessly.

I can boot off of the hd monterery, but monterey and it's programs are pretty cumbersome and slow on a hd, even though it's 7200rpm. Hence the desire to utilize the ssd.

Any wise words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

I’m having the same issue on 5,1. Stuck in a loop with same symptoms after macOS Ventura install via OCLP. I restored my Time Machine data and now it’s just stuck in this infinite loop.
