Yes. But there was an error and I even could not delete the wifi settings as I previously did.
Unfortunately I was not aware they existed... Can you please advise on where to get and how to use them?
Thanks in avance!

Macschrauber's Rom Dump I needed to encrypt the disk image as DropBox has flagged it for containing Flashrom. The password is rom. What's new in the latest versions: Update from 20-2-2024 -> checking Fsys for missing items or wrong order sometimes they get into the wrong order or items...

Thanks for posting the info!
I upgraded to OCLP 1.3 and WiFi stayed active. After shutting the machine down however, I still have Wifi but can't connect to any networks.
I did the usual... signed out from iCloud, deleted WiFi settings manually, restart, and tried to configure WiFi manually, but haven't had any luck.
I downloaded your dmg and saw the scripts, but do not know what is the proper procedure for my case. Will read the docs, but I'd appreciate if you can provide any advice.
I am also facing other problem that did not notice before... my USB 3 card stops working a few minutes after logging in. For a brief period I see my 3 external USB drives on the desktop, but they suddenly disappear with no reason.
Again, thanks.

Using OCLP, I moved up the ladder from High Sierra to Big Sur. It is Monterey that has perplexed me. In attempting to install it from OCLP-created USB to a sata ssd target drive, it repeadly goes into a loop and it's not clear how one can work around this. There is a YouTube video explaining why the loop exists, but offers no remedy. Most recently, I created a USB boot, using the traditional method (without OCLP), but has no boot pick screen and USB will not self start the begin the process even with all drives, except the taget sata drive, removed.
As an aside, with the "144" firmware and installing a metal (RX580) gpu, I never see a boot pick screen (with or without OCLP). It will occur with the installation of OE ATI Radeon card, but the video goes gray once the OS spins up.

Did you remove all the drives from the computer except the one you will use to install Monterey? Do also disconnect any USB drives you might have connected.
Yes to removing all drives except target and yes to removing all USB devices with exception of mouse and keyboard. Oddly enough, I was able to install Big Sur yesterday using same hardware and OCLP-created USB.
I have had the same problem when I first installed OCLP.
A few questions...
Have you deleted every partition of the destination drive and reformatted before attempting the install?
After removing every drive, have you tried to reset NVRAM 3 times before installing Monterey?
Are you using OCLP 1.3?
Target drive was (is) reformatted and has no partitions. All other drives were removed, but I did not reset NVRAM. I am running OCLP version 1.3.
Yes, the entire drive was erased and after resetting the NVRAM (three times), I have begun installing Monterey (again) with hopes of success. Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know if it works.
