Thank you so much. Would the flash drive way fix the error on the Mac as well?
Got a tip for us?

Memoji are working for me, although they were a little slow to load. 2015 MacBook Air.
Just another partial success (touch wood) report. Updated rMBP 2012 OTA from 12.6 to 13.0. with OCLP 0.5.0.
Some SBOD and some crashing of apps that restarts have fixed so far. But very happy with this!
Retired, so no critical usage anymore and with time to reinstall if needed
Big thanx to this really quite extraordinary useful development project that the Dortania crew are maintaining.

Hello @rehkram We have the same rMBP. Silent knight tells me: EFI version found 421.0.0.0.0rMBP 10,1 mid 2012 updated OTA to Ventura 13.0
It looks like you have EFI version 429.0.0.0.0. Do you remember how and when you updated?
I assume it would need to be done from an earlier version of MacOS? Grateful for a comment if you have sec?
Many thanks regardless!
Exactly this, I am a long time OS X/macOS user, tried to update from Software Update, guess what, it failed.(2012 MM)
You have to boot into Catalina and run updates there... when you do boot into Catalina, be sure to reset NVRAM before booting
This is a known issue and is mentioned on the Github page. Possibly related to issues with the Weather app, widget editor and font book.
Yes same here, its show as OpenCore-Patcher in login item@izfernando @chris1111
Last 0.5.0 releases have OpenCore-Patcher app as startup item, Mykola name was seen in past releases. Do you have a recent OCLP 0.5.0? My iMac16,2 shows it as OpenCore-Patcher.app.
@chris1111 Do you recognize the item above?
It is the version for Big Sur, it works well in Ventura.
EDIT** but I have always Popup for all Login Item on boot system
Beta 13.1

As cab_007 says, you have to have a bootable version of the last supported version of macOS for the rMBP10,1, which was Catalina. I installed it on an external SSD drive, see my signature in the spoiler below for more details. After booting Catalina, download and install any additional updates to Catalina using sys prefs OTA, that will update the firmware.
I can confirm on my 2009 iMac upgraded with M5100, AppleTV no longer plays paid content. (The exact same machine booting into Monterey 12.6.1 or earlier, AppleTV can play everything)

I believe Apple recommend doing that, I read it somewhere. I decided to take the chance to just upgrade over the top of Monterey, so far so good. If I were going to do that though and create another APFS partition I'd make it of a fixed size, having had issues in the past with two versions of macOS coexisting on dynamically resized partitions.
I'm back! As for your question, there is only one way to find out... But in my experience I've had no major issues using the flash drive install or even the not-recommended OTA upgrade from a working Monterey. I've done several different computers so far (iMacs, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro).
I've got a 2012 iMac 21.5" that has a patched Big Sur install on it. I used the Ben216K "Patched Sur" application to do it. Can I do a Ventura upgrade on it using OCLP without wiping the Mac first?
I did an upgrade to my late 2015 machine that was on Monterey and it went great, but that was an upgrade from a supported system.

Not in Ventura 13 final release, no popup for DropEfi or OpenCore-Patcher.... but I have always Popup for all Login Item on boot system
Great job AGAIN X4 😄! This is a wonderful team that allows this miracle. I just did the Ventura update from Monterey. I just rebuilt OCLP with version 5 then did the OTA update. Everything happened at surprising speed. Then I patched and EVERYTHING is OK and fluid. On this machine too, the only Bug (had not on Monterey) is NO widgets, they won't work and stay black or empty. Monterey was already working very well on this machine (SSD).

What's the spec on your WLAN card? I know nothing about cMPs but it might help someone else here diagnose your problem.
Just out of curiosity, what is the consequence of having EFI version not up-to-date?You have to boot into Catalina and run updates there... when you do boot into Catalina, be sure to reset NVRAM before booting
Consequences are the lack of the warm fuzzy feeling knowing the firmware is as up to date as possible. This is especially painful for geeks like me with OCD
It can bite you if software (Apple &/or 3rd Party) released down the road makes a malformed call on a firmware function, either directly or indirectly, while assuming you have the latest firmware and you do not. For example, exception errors caused by changed, added or dropped parameters not explicitly trapped and handled by the older firmware.
This can result in "instability". Kernel panic baby, crash city, and/or just irritating malfunctions. I recommend this recent article on Howard Oakley's excellent eclectic light co site.

I guess my laziness to install Catalina to update is greater than my need for that warm fuzzy feeling!
But thanks for the explanation. I might give it a try!
Thanks Rehkram for the reply !
