macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

[digitalcan]

With SMBIOS spoofing set to minimal, do you use a higher model to specify the model? In the case of a 10,1 would you spoof it higher than that model?

No, i only select smbios to minimal. It works like that.

Try again, from scratch if you must. Make sure you are offline to ensure a smooth, fresh install.

Read the post immediately above yours. I explain how to get around this problem. In short, restart, hold option/alt each time the computer restarts during the upgrade, and then pick the USB-Stick-looking thing with EFI on it, and then either "MacOS Install" or the drive with Ventura logo.

This is on a totally wiped Mac with nothing on the drive. Wi-Fi connected or not. 6th attempt. I’m lucky I have another Mac to make a Catalina drive on a USB drive so the thing is bootable. Might just hold off and go back to Monterey for now.

I know how to boot the installer from the USB EFI partition, and it does boot. But it always goes to this.

Doesn't matter. Just follow my directions and you should be good to go.
You should not be seeing that screen at all, it means you're booted into the wrong partition or EFI (although I hear you, there's not old EFI or partition on there, but still).

I use to have the same issue and was solve doing a new USB install maybe your current USB is Damage I got the ventura install on MacBook Pro 9.2

Since my Mac mini system volume is screwed and as advised by
@perez987 that I can clean install Ventura from scratch. There is no need to install Catalina. I took the plunge to install as follows:

1. Run OCLP v0.5.1
2. Build open core with macmini6,2
3. Install it into usb
4. Boot Mac mini
5. Press Alt key after boot chime
6. Select "Install macOS Ventura" from usb
7. Erase System Volume with APFS
8. Post Install Root Patch
9. Click Install Root Patch to start patch
10. Press enter for the rest of the prompt
11. Build open core with macmini6,2
12. Install it into ssd

I encountered below error and bypass it by rebooting and resetting PRAM

Installation complete.

Gave-up on MacPro 3,1 despite some successes by Pri-est and a few others. Will wait for official 0.5.x support. Rolled back easily to Monty using OCLP 0.4.11.

Part of icons in Launchpad got disappeared. Something with video card driver, I guess. Never seen anything like this on Monterey.




I have the same Imac except i5 and standard HHD and all the icons appear. 5.1/Ventura 13.1

Did you have uptime 2-3 days or more?

I just put mine to sleep at night, it has been up several days.

I just ran the Ventura installer from USB. It installed fine. Needed to reboot so I held option and booted the EFI partition from USB. I then selected the built in hard disk to complete the install.

Same error. Trust me. I’m doing this properly.

As you stated “It installed fine”. It’s reboot “Don’t held option key” let it booting by itself, login, wait few seconds and the OC will pop up screen just follow its instruction.
Note: The “Option key” only used for first booting to select EFI.

Even doing it this way gets me that error. I let it reboot this time by itself on accident because I was busy with the kids. It rebooted, went through the 28 minutes remaining, screen flashed and I was presented with the same error. I just give up. Monterey here I come. Is there any way to see what’s causing the error? You can’t pull up the installer log, so I can’t see errors (or any info) about it.

Edit to add: To be clear, the Ventura installer does seem to complete. The MBA then reboots to the internal hard drive to complete the install process. With about 16 minutes remaining that error pops up. Every time. I’ve rebuilt multiple times, I’ve tried different SMBIOS tweaks/standard settings, tried multiple drives and both USB ports. I’ve booted correctly and incorrectly. I always get that error. After that error, I can power the MBA off and retry booting from the internal drive. It will do the “28 minutes remaining” thing all the way back to about 16 minutes and show me that error.

Change your USB (source) to a different (New One) one that's the only solution

I’ve rebuilt multiple times, I’ve tried different SMBIOS tweaks/standard settings, tried multiple drives and both USB ports.

Edit: Thought about it again. I think someone else has suggested the step(s) you are likely missing.

See below image of OCLP guide. Relevant part underlined in red.

I read your first post and my iMac with Monterey 12.6.1 had the same error. Instead select Install macOS Ventura, I select Disk Utility and format my hard drive with APFS. After that I just let the installer does all the works.
I alway dedicate the USB installer for each Mac I own.

Hello there, so as I understand, for installing Ventura I should wipe my Mac? Or its possible to install over Monterey?

 

[LuisN]

I’m on a MacBook Air (Mid-2012) with OCLP’s latest. I’ve tried everything I can think of to get around this. Nothing seems to work. Standard OCLP SMBIOS settings, custom, PRAM reset, reinstalled Catalina and updated firmware…

Nothing gets me around this stupid message.

Had the same problem. In my case I solved the problem changing my 16GB usb pen to a 32GB one. In think the formatted capacity was less than needed.

Either option is fine. It’s recommended that you use a USB drive to make an installer either way.

Hey guys two days ago i installed on my Macbookpro10,2 (retina MacBook Pro Late 2012) OCLP 0.5.1 but when the post install root patch end as in screenshot... Patch failure (71)... error domain MKErrorDomain Code^71 "Unable to resolve dependencies: "org.virtualbox.kext.VboxNetAdp" names a dependecies on "org.tirualbox.kext... which was not found....

Does someone else have same problem?

I tryed even with OCLP 0.5.2 (beta/nighty) hoping to fix, but nothing...

The autopatch is not needed, rebuilding cache should go ahead though.

How to Install macOS Sonoma (or Sequoia) on Unsupported Macs, for Security Improvements - The Mac Security Blog

Using the latest version of macOS is always best from a security standpoint. But if your Mac is several years old, there's a good chance that macOS Sonoma won't run on it. Thankfully, there's an app for that.

Hi. Which step in the step-by-step guild above I can make a pause so I’ll be able to finish installing the os the next day. Thanks.

Exscuse me i didn't understand, do you mean it's not necessary post install root patch?

And can you explain better what do you mean with "rebuilding cache should go ahead"?

 

[Earl Urley]

Installed Ventura onto a freshly wiped 2012 Mini with a Hynix Gold SSD installed in place of OEM drive.

Working well after installing post-install root patches for Ivy Graphics

Weather app works fine until you try to make it full screen, then it crashes out on every launch thereafter.

The patcher install "Autopatch", it will automatically detect if a new patch is needed after a software update, as in an update to a higher Ventura version. i.e. from 13.1 to 13.2.
You can manually do the post install yourself, autopatch isn't needed.

OCLP should update rebuild kernel caches after installing the required patch software, pretty sure that, if this isn't finished correctly, it will not work the way it should be.

BTW, Step 19 is confusing.
