macOS 12 Monterey on Unsupported Macs Thread

You can consider forking an existing implementation or contributing to one. If so please check out BigMac2 which currently has BigSur 11.2.3 and Monterey Beta 4 support which can be made to support more versions. This is one that I develop and it has considerable attention. It is presently all native.
There are plans to augment the current implementation with a variation of OCLP to support a wider range of users.
Currently it can be tough injecting Kext's on native installs without a bootloader that does it and since Race Conditions exist in both installer discs and full installs OCLP or the plain OC bootloader can help with that.
If you have a good way of injecting kext's without OCLP, that would be interesting. It's one area I have not spent much time on.

Thank you so much, I am using OCLP it works fine for BS on MBP9,2 but Monterey does not start so easy as when I used NVRAM boot-args="-no_compat_check" of corse that is not perfect but wifi and GPU work patching, only Bluetooth does not work. I will be waiting and hopefully a new wait to patch my MBP
macOS 12 Monterey Beta 5 (21A5304g) has been seeded to the dev channels. As usual, no InstallAssistant yet
Good news for all you 13,2 users out there, it looks like the install via the update wizard went flawlessly again to beta 5.
Same issue reported as with beta 4 with the BT
in that it appears to not be working again - however, this time, unlike with beta 4, my trackpad 2 appears to be working correctly with all features working, including right click (two finger tap) gestures, pinch etc meaning as last time the BT stack just needs a little kick.
Using the same reset as last time from @RogueB - "sudo kill -9 $(pgrep bluetoothd)" - fixed the issue instantly and off we go with full BT support again including the copy and paste from other devices (handy while writing this post).
So it seems another win for us little guys and big thanks of course to all those insanely clever people above who have all helped to get us this far - long may this continue as I don't want to get rid of my lovely 13.2 iMac just yet.

Well doing the latest beta 5 update messed up my OS installation on my MBP 2014. It was stuck on the Apple logo screen with fans spinning like crazy for the last 30 minutes.
Fortunately no problem on cMP3,1 and actually completed update MUCH MUCH faster than on two supported Macs!
How long did the update take? I tried it again and got stuck for 40 minutes. I don't get why.
download took less 5 mins, preparing and installing took less than 30 mins.
Out of curiosity, any idea why it always downloads the full installer in each beta through software update in my case?
I've never seen an update smaller than 10.5 GB in the last 5 betas. MBP 9,2 21A5294g.
When you root patch a system, you loose the ability to download deltas. This is because the APFS seal's integrity is broken and can no longer be considered "supported" by Apple. Therefore they will install the whole OS update to ensure all files are intact and don't break.
To work around this, simply go into OpenCore legacy Patcher's TUI (Text based interface) and select
Unpatch System Volume from Post-Install Volume Patch. The unpatch code is technically experimental however mainly applies to Big Sur and older. Apple fixed APFS snapshot handling in Monterey to properly revert the system to clean snapshots.Once done, you will no longer have graphics acceleration but should see delta updates appear. Install the update and root patch again to get acceleration back. Repeat the process for every time an OS update comes out
Its a bit annoying but if you have limited internet than this is your best option to get deltas back besides getting a newer Mac
MBP 9,2 update done. 12.0 Beta (21A5304g)
OCLP0.2.5 nb crashed when trying to build new OC.

However, patching system works as usual. After reboot external monitor comes back on again. Bluetooth enabled using Terminal using sudo kill -9 $(pgrep bluetoothd)

iMac late 2012 21,5" with upgraded Wifi/Bluetooth BCM94360CD ...no OS issues (but with the combination AdGuard Nightly+Safari since Beta 4).
OCLP 0.2.4 / via update wizard
Thanks once more

macOS 12.0 Beta 5 (21A5304g) InstallAssistant.pkg:
rMBP 10,1 seems to have updated OK to beta 5, still testing.
Hey @khronokernel, I've been meaning to ask, after every OS upgrade is it necessary to rebuild OCLP, reinstall to disk then reboot? I've been doing that up to now.

Has anybody trouble with spotlight?
Whenever I try to enter a search phrase the window disappears after typing the first or first few letters and I never get a search result back!
Started with Beta 4 and is still there on Beta 5.

With every OS update, you simply need to run the post-install Volume patch to regain acceleration. Besides that, you could be running a 2 month old OpenCore build so long as you don't notice issues
Usually update OpenCore if you see a feature you like in that build or want to be on the latest
That has been present with OpenCore Legacy patcher systems for quite some time, it's to ensure incorrect firmware and SMC updates are not applied and causing issues
So the easiest way is to report to macOS that you have a very high version
If you boot without OpenCore, this should disappear
