macOS 12 Monterey on Unsupported Macs Thread

@mihaila How did you perform the 12.6.3 -> 12.6.7 upgrade? Did you use the "normal" upgrade (System Settings > Software Update)? When you performed your upgrade, did the upgrade download the full macOS installer (not the incremental)?
If you're not able to resume the current upgrade, you should still be able to boot the "old" macOS from the Open Core boot menu. Can you do that?

yes, the install was via Sys Settings, Software update. No 'macos installer', it restarted after downloading/preparing update then got stuck at ~ 40%
pressing Option when powering on gives me EFI Boot (which has only 1 option, the install) and Mac SSD (if I choose this, it shows the 🚫 with the link to apple support and stays there)
You could also try installing an older OCLP. There have been issues with Monterey and the latest OCLP with certain configurations.
Hey folks, have a 2013 27” iMac with Nvidia 755m 2gb. Every once in a while after turning the computer back on, the computer hangs at the beginning of the progress bar. Only way to get by it is NVRAM reset, and hold Option to select EFI again.
It will restart no problem, and I’ve gone through different OCLP settings, like SYMBIOS, and spoofing. But the problem persists.
I have upgrade the machine to NVME. So made sure third party NVME settings were checked. I have no boot picker selected. Not sure if that could be a problem? Is it better to wait?
Anyone have a similar experience, or can point me too a post in the extensive thread?

thanks for your feedback, I installed the latest Ventura on the broken rMBP 11,3 - working perfectly and no data lost 
@paul_bace What make/model NVMe SSD are you using? Also, does your Open Core EFI inject NVMeFix.kext?
EDIT: It sounds like you have a basic understanding of the OC EFI/config.plist. Have you tried adding boot-arg '-v' so that you can see a verbose log showing where the boot process freezes? If I misunderstood your grasp of OpenCore, you can enable verbose boot in OCLP and "Build and Install Open Core" EFI.

Timetec 1tb. Never had a problem with them in countless other machines I've used them on. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08GJBTCF6...94d29a8aabc39&language=en_CA&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
That said, the last time I worked on a 2013 I think I had similar problems, and I was using a P2 Crucial then.
Thank you @deeveedee, great tool to fix permissions problems with ZOOM app (I had with camera and microphone). Easy to run!
Hi, I'm having an issue with the standalone Teams app — it won't show my camera image remotely. Although the app has been granted permissions in the system pref pane, it only shows my camera image on my Mac, but other participants just see a black screen. Microphone works correctly. Both mic and camera work correctly using the web Teams app via Edge browser, on the same machine. Any thoughts? See signature for my config.
The permission problems happen because OCLP disables AMFI. tccplus is a great solution for now. There is a branch of OCLP that does not disable AMFI and thus does not require tccplus. This branch is in Beta now and will eventually be merged into the main OCLP repo. With this new implementation of OCLP, AMFI and Library Validation are fully enabled and it is no longer necessary to use tccplus.
I am occasionally having the same problem on my Intel HD 4000 macs with Teams. This problem may be occurring in both supported and unsupported systems, though. Recently, with supported systems using teams, I’m also having a lot of problems. So these issues may just be Teams’ bugs,
but I am not 100% sure.
Clearing the “teams cache” may have helped me resolve the problem on my Intel HD 4000 machines.

I also wonder if others with Intel HD 4000 machines are experiencing this issue at all with teams.
@k000858 PhotoBooth is a known issue here. The claim is that it is resolved with OCLP 0.6.6, but I haven't found that to be the case. For me, if I want PhotoBooth on my MBP6,2, I need to revert to Big Sur. You can look at other issues/work-arounds here.
I'm no sure which "browsers" have camera issues, but review the work-arounds link and look for "Unable to grant special permissions to apps"

Thank you!
I'll read it.
And I have remembered, scroll of my magic mouse (v2) didn't work too.
I have a 2011 iMac 12,2. 12GB RAM, Radeon HD 6970M with a fusion drive. I use the computer as a storage device for my movies and music to AirPlay to my AppleTV.
Would I have any problems moving up to Monterey?
Would I have any problems moving up to Monterey?
I have an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro which I have been using with OCLP and Monterey for over a year. Yesterday I updated to 12.6.7 using the installer app which I had downloaded through OCLP and then copied over to its own partition (I have found this method to be the most reliable with this hardware and Monterey). The update completed without errors and when I rebooted I was prompted to reinstall the root patches (which I did.) Now none of my apps will launch (except GarageBand which still launches for some weird reason). I also don't get the Apple menu at the top left to About this mac, Force Quit, Restart etc.) Not even Terminal works. I can get into single user mode but have no idea what to do to fix this. I have other computers but they are all Windows or Linux except I have devices running older Mac OSX (Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion) so I can't easily make a bootable copy of Monterey to fix this. Any advice on this is welcome, thanks. OCLP is awesome software.
Hi! I installed Monterey on my Imac 13,2 with OCLP 0.5.0 according to this thread's installation info. However, I get som issues, one being in Safari where I get these weird green squares in some pictures on the web, very random. It only occurs in Safari. See attached a picture.
The other thing is that most sites reload and crash in Safari 16.5.1, "A problem occured multiple times". I know the easy solution is to not use Safari, but one major reason for using OCLP for me is the oppourtunity to use Safari on this machine, as I also have an iPhone and a Macbook Air that syncs bookmarks etc.
Any tips?
