macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

It didn’t work, both MBR and GPT didn’t do anything unfortunately… I don’t know how thats possible, but I tried all of the steps and I was unable to format it at all. It gives me the same Media with 0KB of storage every time.

Did you tried Linux?

Because you are not following the instructions and no one here should be helping on how to perform these tasks. Remember, these are alpha patches that are made for an OS in beta—refer to my earlier message about how more users using OCLP on Ventura at all = more noise for us developers to deal with.

Sorry you are absolutely right, I will quit and wait for the release versions I was a beta tester for months, one of the big Sur patcher's, and I guess the error report bugging stuck with me. Sorry for the noise.

Not yet. I’ll work on that when I get home.

Ok.

Try Puppy Linux...

Link => LxPupSc64-22.02+4-T.iso is 380Mb Distro. It has a lot of utilities for SSD's and HD's...

Can i fix this problem using the OCLP.app? i mean do i need a specific boot-arg or something to fix the ssd not working, or should i just use ubuntu 22.04? it would be easier to talk on discord imo.

 

[redheeler]

Success here also. OCLP 0.5.0 alpha, iMac late 2015. Full metal support. 😀 Phantastic job. Thank you to all developers.

Fantastic!!! My iMac will live to see another day and another MacOS (when I decide to update from Big Sur)

Try this Linux Distro.... And OCLP will not fix the SSD issue.

Looking to your image, you have probably to Unmount all volumes attaching to the Disk then after Erase the Disk

Erase - APFS/GUID

It’s mainly when I boot into the Ventura beta installer and I go into disk utility and that’s where I see the issue, sorry I didn’t explain it fully earlier. But I will try that tonight for sure

That’s cool, Could you possibly send me the EFI folder so I can edit it to work on my MacBook Air?

 

[fernando.c.neves]

Already did. I edit the post with the link.

 

[Kranax2017]

Awesome, thanks! I’ll give it a try now.

You will need of OCLP 0.5.0 (alpha-branch) to patch your IGPU. Need to compile the source files.

I already have the OCLP 0.5.0 alpha-branch compiled, but how do I patch my IGPU in the case of my MacBook Air (11 inch early 2015)?

 

[fernando.c.neves]

To enable root patches you will need to configure OCLP 0.5.0 in this way...
Than restart and open OCLP 0.5.0 and click in Post Install Root Patch.

In SMBIOS Spoof Model put MacBookPro14,1.

 

[Kranax2017]

Great, I did all of that. But I’m still having my internal drive not showing properly, and it’s giving me an error code: -69825. I might need a new SSD… (this is from my Ventura Beta 6 installer bootable usb btw.)

 

[fernando.c.neves]

If you had a USB Case, try to put in Case your SSD and see if it showing up and erase.

In terminal do this:
diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ Ventura /dev/disk0

 

[Kranax2017]

If you had a USB Case, try to put in Case your SSD and see if it showing up and erase.

I’ll see if I can get my external 500GB HDD to work. but again, I need a nvme m.2 ssd, I have an adapter for that to go into my MacBook Air, but I don’t have the nvme m.2 ssd itself.

 

[fernando.c.neves]

I understand, try to use the external hdd, see if it can be formatted.

It installed successfully on my external hdd! But now I've got a bigger problem, it's stuck on a profile which made my MBA useless, It's got firmware password protection on because my smbios in my oclp usb installer drive and now my MBA decided to put remote management on it, and I'm very upset about it. I'll have to use my MacBook 2010 (which is on Monterey through OCLP v0.4.10) to fix it...

Out of curiosity: Who in here finds Ventura a necessary update for unsupported Macs and why?

Because I’m hoping it doesn’t come out as buggy as Monterey.

 

[kocoman]

To run Ventura, you need a virtual AVX2. It takes time to create a virtual AVX2.

what it mean virtual avx2? kernel patch like amd cpu? thx

You need to emulate hardware instructions and registers. I assume that this would be required at a pretty low level.
