Anyone running Sonoma on iMac15,1 (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) with AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2 GB?

I tried OCLP v.1.0 with Sonoma and the screen was flickering every 3 seconds or so and I had to reinstall everything, now I'm scared to try again 😅

I had the same issue. you probably were using Memoji as profile picture. You have to remove it. A workaround is to ssh in your iMac (if remote connection was activated) and hide faulty profile: sudo dscl . create /Users/hiddenuser IsHidden 1

New question, different Mac (11,1) already running Monterey via OCLP.

I see that OCLP 1.1 support for Sonoma lists Kepler GPU compatibility as:
  • Kepler (GTX 6xx, GTX 7xx)
Is this exhaustive for Kepler support or is the K2100M also supported for Sonoma?

If it is an MBP11,1, also have a look at https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...unsupported-macs-thread.2391630/post-32665367
There could be leftover kexts in /Library/Extensions which are cleared by 1.2 nightlies not 1.1.

Apologies, I have an iMac 11,1. So my question remains: are all Kepler GPUs (normally) supported or just the GTX 6xx/7xx?
 
Hello Good People,
I have returned to install the recent 14.1.1 version.
It nearly finishes but still having the dreaded issue with no wifi.

The MACOS Update Assistant prevents the install from completing.
Any possible workaround for this?

OpenCore has been updated to v1.2.1.

you may need to connect an ethernet cable for the internet connection as some KDKs might be missing...

Dear OC Devs: I tried to get a boot log on my iMac11,3 to figure out why the system is stalling very long half way through the boot process on Sonoma.

So I installed the Debug Version of OC (plus the drivers) to get a boot log. But OpenLegacyBoot causes an exception error halting the system. The log was created before halting but booting was not possible. Disabling this driver resolved the issue. So you might want to look into that.

If you can get net access on your machine, you can download the required KDK (kernel Debug Kit) from
github.com

Releases · dortania/KdkSupportPkg

Kernel Debug Kit Mirror for macOS Ventura and newer - dortania/KdkSupportPkg
github.com github.com
and install it. However, at present there is no KDK for 14.1.1 (the KDK for 14.1 will work).
Of course, now that that you are stuck in the update process that is probably not possible.
Should work if you can get an ethernet connection.

Delete all the entries, and wait for the NVRam to refresh itself. At least one of the entries (bluetoothExternalDongleFailed) should come back with value of <00>.

Thanks for this tip. It helped me get Bluetooth working on my 2012 MacBook Pro 9,1 with OCLP 1.2.1 and 14.1.

For those that have the login loop, You will be logged off when you quit the Windowserver process in Activity
Monitor.
Thus, you get a login loop when WindowServer crashes upon login.

Here's the output of the loop on my 2012 Mac Mini:

Interesting, has a workaround already been identified? I’d like to know how to fix it.
 
So I was checking my mac mini 8,1 and brought up OCLP but it won't allow - the Build and Install OpenCore is greyed out - is that expected?

What is the Settings menu showing? If I start up the OCLP app on my M2 MBA , which obviously is not a viable target for OCLP, that "Build and Install Open Core" menu is greyed out. If I hit the settings menu and choose "iMac 15,1" that option appears as normal, so I can install OCLP to a USB memory stick, for example.

Installed Sonoma 14.1.1 via OCLP 1.2.1 on iMac 11.2. Excellent installation due to automatic pre-emptive file downloading prior to install.

Fabulous work by OCLP team 🤩

Can you explain the "preemptive..." part? I had serious problems with the Root patch after the installation. The KDK for the just updated macOS extracted, but did not install

I used a usb installer to re-install 14.1. But of course when trying to re-image via a time machine backup, that doesn't work from recovery and you must install and boot into macOS to get to your time machine backup, using migration assistant.

Ok - you canˋt downgrade from 14,2 to 14,1 without wiping the volume. But within 14,2 b1-5 itˋs always possible to downgrade to 14,2 b1 which makes no troube with login.

I hope it works for you like it did for me. The circuit for charging it´s integrated in that little piece. And, as you could see, its very cheap. It´s a little tricky, but with patience and time there is no problem. It´s a 13" or a 15"?

15-inch; a gift from my son, so I am much relieved I can keep it going for a while longer.
 
iMac 13.1 Sonoma 14.0 -> 14.1.1 with OCLP 1.2.1

Update with USB-Stick, USB Mouse needed ...but everything seems to be fine now :)
