On my 2013 MBP Retina, the beta 7 build seems to be going in a loop. I install the update, it restarts and then System Preferences shows the update still available.
Got a tip for us?

You need to boot with the OPTION key pressed and choose the macOS Installer disk which the installer created before rebooting the first time. If the boot automatically picks up the actual disk, it shows a progress bar of five minutes and when you log in back, the update is still available because it did not install.
Thanks, this fixes the display problem
. It is more convenient to read the results of the tests
Hello,
I had the same problem, in incremental update it does not work, you need the full installer (about 12GB). ?
How do we get this and how to update after we got the full installer? Please help me/us to update. Thanks in advance for sharing with us.
All this has been described in detail in the OCLP online docs. Since you already have installed Monterey Beta you have gone through this complete process at least, once.
You can install any new version on top of the existing one. It preserves your personal data and settings.This is literally the same as before with all macOS software updates.
Once the full installer has been released by Apple to the public it will be ready to download and to use.
Re,
I just realized that the installer I downloaded was from Beta 6 (next time I'll check before talking...), the full beta 7 is not yet available there.

Nope, I already downloaded and tried for 3 times with the full installer (Through System Update), does not work (here).

I too have the same issue, while restarting, held option down, select OCLP EFI, still held option down, selected defaulted Installer and when it did its thing and restarted, held option down and let it boot from default. There was the 8-5 minute update progress indicator in the middle but last boot still shows PB6. Waiting for full installer as OTA (2.3GB) update doesn't seem to be working from PB6 to 7.
For me, impossible to select macOS Installer with OC EFI, when I restart with option key I see macOS Installer but can’t select it directly because it’s necessary to use OC EFI, but when I select OC EFI I don’t see anymore macOS Installer.
Nope. Full installer not yet avail on Apple servers. ??
UPDATE - Beta7 is now Item#1 - macOS Monterey beta 12.0 (21A5522h) just before midday.

Meanlissimo, as my wife used to say.
The current OCLP_N TUI thinks a Mini3,1 is a hackintosh. ?
Update: Latest Nightly - Mini3,1 still a hackintosh. ??
And FIXED in 2:51PM release. Thank you!!

I have the exact same problem.
I might add that when selecting the EFI, I get 2 "Macintosh HD". One of them not working (crash at login).

What now?
% sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ 12\ Beta
Password:
/Applications/Install macOS Monterey beta.app does not appear to be a valid OS installer application.
34.8 MB...Huh

Same here..
Using the above link given by Ausdauersportler, as well as when downloading via gibmacos.
SharedSupport.dmg is not inside the App, where does it need to go, in Contents/SharedSupport/ ?
EDIT: Yes, it needs to go there.
Edit: It does not work.

See my answer above, extract the SharedSupport.dmg with the help of Pacifist (App).
You also need to create the SharedSupport Folder.
Edit: It does not work.

I have/had the B7 install loop but I may have fixed it without messing about with the keyboard or USB sticks. I downloaded the latest Open Core and patched my system again which is a Mac mini 2012 on Beta 6. I then did the update again which too AAAAGGGEEESSS to download/prep ( about 4hrs where as install loop took 25 mins inc prep time ). I've just checked and it seems to be installing on the apple screen and taking a while to do so, so hopefully that's sorted it.
