Try OCLP and 11.6.2. Both are working perfectly on my 5,2 and then you can try to up to 12.1 from there. I left my 5,2 on 11.6.2 since 12x now requires a volume patch after every update and 11 works perfectly fine.
Got a tip for us?

Hi to all!
Successfully updated my CMP 3.1 from macOS 12.1 RC2 to macOS 12.2 Beta1
System root patch for keppler was reverted, to get delta update.
After update system root patch applyed again.
OCLP - 0.3.3
Issues - without issues
Thanks for all contributors!

Hi @Pri-est. I am using same version as you on my 2014 MacBookPro11,3. I noticed that the build disables SIP. As I have never used this before it seems disconcerting. Does that need to be checked? What about "Disable SecureBootModel"?
The OCLP GUI is a bit different than the original as well so I want to make sure. With this new version of OCLP when we open the app we select the USB drive. Then we only need to click "Build and Install OpenCore" right? It seems the partition selection has also become automatic.
Updates can be done normally OTA?

I have the Problem after update to 12.2:
Normally after update I run the OCGui and patch the volume, restart and it worked.
Now after update I can't open the file for the patcher. says ist corrupt. Loaded it again from Github....now he says the zip is corrupt and I should move it to trash.
I can't patch the Volume because it always says the file is corrupt. Does anyone have a solution?

I simply downloaded the zip file with the latest Main Code from Dortania and started "OpenCore-Patcher.command". The CHANGELOG.md file says that the OCLP 0.3.4: “Resolves Install USB Creation using incorrect installer”.
Therefore I expected a very fast installation, like when I had installed Monterey 12.01 even then starting from scratch. Instead, installing 12.1 lasted more than two hours, even though Monterey 12.1 is fine now and the Mac looks like a perfectly supported Mac.
So, I kindly ask (and I hope someone will answer or report the question to the Developers): is this very long installation behavior correct? Or should I have used OCLP 0.3.3 since 0.3.4 has some issues?
I hope I have been useful to anyone who has the same iMac as me and wants to install macOS 12.1 from scratch.
I'm writing from Catalina now and I cancel what I've written so far on macOS 12.1 for the following reasons:
1) Boot was very slow this morning with the bar stuck in the middle for 5 minutes before going to the Login screen. This makes me think that the same thing happened during the installation and that is why it lasted more than two hours...
2) After login, only the internal SSD with Monterey appeared on the desktop and all other disks were gone (!!!). Same thing starting Disk Utility: you could only see the 128 GB SSD with Monterey 12.1; the internal 2TB SSD with macOS Catalina missing; also the SD Card with the Monterey Installer and the OCLP EFI missing. It's perhaps a serious issue by the new VMM mode of OCLP 0.3.2/0.3.3 ?...
3) I have verified that Airplay missing in System Preferences -> Sharing
So! I'm deluded but now I want to try with OCLP 0.3.3 installed in Internal SSD, instead of the SD external card.
EDIT Dec. 17 h 10:33
I state that I leave what I have written so far whi my previous history could help others with the same problems.
I just installed OCLP 0.3.3 instead of 0.3.4 and this time I used an Internal disk to install it. I also edited the config.plist file and deleted the Kext Airport - Bluetooth module.
Now macOS Monterey starts up in no time, the other disks have reappeared on the desktop, Magic keyboard, Magic mouse e Magic trackpad working well and now I can enable Bluetooth Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing.
It remains to try to create and reinstall OCLP 0.3.3 from here (Monterey 12.1) and this time I will try to leave the Kext Airport-Bluetooth module to see if AirPlay is also showing.
If so, I'll let you know, otherwise no. Stay tuned
Hi everyone
Last minute update
I tried to leave the kext Airport / Bluetooth, but AirPlay still doesn't appear the System Preferences. I am sorry. I will remove this Kext from OCLP to have original functioning even if I reboot with Catalina which I will continue to keep in the 2TB drive until I am sure that Monterey no longer has any problems.

Right-click on the file, select "Open", confirm you want to open it in the dialog following.
Try to hold Control button when Right-click on the fileDoes not work. It says this with ALL files!

Extremely interesting observation: under Catalina, I was n o t able to watch 1080p videos, my MBP4,1 was reduced to 720p. (Under Big Sur 11.6.2 I did not try, as I was immediately aiming to upgrade my MBP41 to Monterey, so my focus was not at the video 720p / 1080p video resolution issue).
Under Monterey 12.1 flawless performance for 1080p video resultion.
This is fabulous.

Here's how I fixed macOS 12.1 not enabling AirPlay in my iMac 27 "CPU i7 - GeForce 780MX GPU (Late 2013).
I simply bought Reflector 4 and here is the magnificent result in one of the two screenshots. Furthermore, Reflector allows to perform many functions that are not possible with Apple's AirPlay.
I also bought AirServer and it works fine as you can see in 2nd screenshot.
All this demonstates that the hardware of our Macs has the intrinsic potential to make everything work and there are no technical limits; but Apple is preventing us to update the Macs, unfortunately.
I add that for now I have deactivated and completely eliminated the Kext module for Airport-Bluetooth from EFI OCLP (editing "config.plist or using the "OpenCore Configurator" app)and everything would seem to work perfectly, starting with Apple wireless devices.
Note that in this moment you can have a 20% discount for Reflector and/or others app with the Coupon STAY20

Not corrupt. Go to the Privacy&Security/General CP, select 'Open Anyway' then it will pester you again, pay attention to the next button wording, select appropriately and OCLP will open
Suggest using the TUI version. GUI not complete, as yet

I am having trouble upgrading my mid-2011 Mac mini to Monterey. I am currently on High Sierra. I have created my USB media following the instructions on Open Legacy. However, I keep getting an error. I had been getting an error that said “An error occurred applying the software update.”
I found Mr Macintosh’s YouTube video and was trying to follow that and now I get the following error, “Installation cannot proceed because the installer is damaged.”
I was just trying to upgrade and not wipe everything out. I suppose I can go that route, but was just trying to save myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

macOS 12.2b1 OTA w/ OCLP_033R installed in <1 hour w/ no intervention, so far runs exactly like 12.1 and as expected on 2.0GHz Mini3,1. Simply AMAZING!!

Remake the installer USB, Mr. Macintosh has the Installers on his site. Learn how to use createinstallmedia which is super-reliable.
Like this - After the Monterey installer is in the /Applications ƒ. Name the USB MyVolume, it will be erased and prepared for use when running sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume in the Terminal. First, the USB is erased. Second, the USB is made bootable which takes awhile, then the installer will build, DO NOT INTERRUPT, createinstallmedia will advise when completed. ?

I patched a MacBook Pro 5,1 - everything about the installation went great until after the post-install patch. After the patch, I encountered odd artifacting and graphical errors on menu bar drop-downs. Also, I cannot connect to any WiFi networks. On Mr. Macintosh’s video, another user with a base model 2009 iMac 9,1 commented with similar issues. I question if the graphical issues are related to the 9400M, or the 2.66 ghz Core 2 Duo which both machines share. Any thoughts?
