Wow, that's really great to hear. I'll try that now on my rMBP 10,1
OCLP latest dev build, Monterey latest beta, OTA upgrade 2.1GB
For the first time I could use Airplay to Mac from an iMac12,1 to this model in native resolution 2560x1440 with no visual quality loss, really impressive.
Both Macs are connected to the same 100BaseT switch and using the same 5G WiFi. AirPlay depends on quality and resolution on the underlying network technology and most importantly on the hardware support for video compression.
P.S.: My iMacs as all pre 2012 Mac do not get any new firmware upgrades.

And There you go !I just updated my macbook 12 " (8,1) firmware that is on Monterey (OCLP EFI, and for which the firmware was not up to date), on an external USB disk on which I installed a Catalina With a USB Catalina key. After the security update the firmware was well updated from 428.40.10.0.0 to 428.60.3.0.0. No NVRAM reset ...
I tried the same thing on my Mac mini late 2012, but the firmware does not want to update.
I actually replaced the internal HD long ago by an SSD ...
I'm trying to install a mojave and update Catalina online to see if it changes something
To follow, these firmware history are complicated

My mac mini firmware is up o date ??
On the Late 2012 Mac Mini 6,2 I went through Mojave installed with a key on an external USB drive, then an update in Catalina online directly offered for the OS Mojave. The firmware of the Mini late 2012 updated well after the security update. I did an NVRAM reset to ensure before updating to Catalina.
I think I could have installed directly from Apple's servers, Catalina on the external USB drive, but hey, let's be crazy
I restarted choosing EFI OCLP then Monterey and HOP, I'm home now
I just don't know what is SSV ? ??

Finally got the firmware on my rMBP 10,1 from 421.0.0.0.0 to 425.0.0.0.0; after all the updates Silent Knight found no more X's when logged in to Catalina, and just the two expected ones re. SIP/SSV when booted into Monterey/OCLP.
The key to it in my case was a) NVRAM reset, and b) being reminded to use option-boot to bypass the OCLP EFI when reinstalling Catalina from the USB key onto the external OEM SSD. I had forgotten about the option key on boot.
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to shine light on this situation, I continue to learn a lot from you guys. And as someone said earlier, "WhooHoo!"

Is NVRAM reset mandatory before OS installation or would it be enough just before log in it?
Just installing 12.3 b3 OTA, over b2 which was installed from InstallAssistant, on an external disk. Using OCLP 0.4.3n latest (14 Feb).
Thanks. Do you know if it's disabled by default with OCLP? and how to enable it ?
I don't know for sure unfortunately, since I did the NVRAM reset before option-rebooting and starting the reinstall from the USB key, see Mwidjaya's post
I believe someone posted that OCLP modifies the NVRAM (as 'csrutil status' was showing customized even in Catalina), so it made logical sense to reset it to factory default and install Catalina as vanilla as possible, of course just installing Catalina didn't do it in my case as I had to apply Apple's patches through Software Update within Catalina.
If you installed the post patches with OCLP, like in my case for HD4000 gpu support, then you no longer are sealed.
That's clear. Because, in my case, security update is downloaded but not installed.
If you've applied the OCLP post install patches, and have an HD4000 internal GPU, and maybe other things too, yes it gets disabled by OCLP. I would not know how to reenable it, other than removing the post install patches. But then something else would in all likelihood stop working.
What machine are you wanting to do this on?
Edit later, I see your Mac Mini has the HD4000 gpu so you probably applied the OCLP post install patches. As I understand it, the reason OCLP needs to access the sealed volume is that it (OCLP) needs to inject the missing HD4000 kext into the SSV, thereby breaking the seal. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the lights ? Is is for a late 2012 Mini with Intel HD 4000 and i have applied the OCLP post install patches.

I have been getting a huge amount of KP's on 12.2.1 on my iMac 14,1. 12.2 was fine. Not sure what's going on.
Update to macOS 12.3b3 atop b2 OTA via OCLP_043N - very promising, so far.
2012 MBP + 2015 MBP OCLP 0.43n new Universal Control tab options.

iMac2010 Did you change the GPU, if change did you patch?
Successful update from 12.3b2 to 12.3b3 OTA fully automatic, system post-install patched by OCLP 0.4.3n, flawless performance, except for BlueTooth Magic Mouse unresponsive for seconds, while websites are loading on Safari and Brave browsers.
Anyways, OCLP is a fine piece of intelligent software by highly ingenious developers and contributors. Thank you, members of this thread, as well.
