macOS 14 Sonoma on Unsupported Macs Thread

My MacBook Pro 11,5 from 2015 runs Sonoma, as you can see in my signature:
No apology necessary. Your post is a good one to alert us of the issue for potential new Mac purchases (not because OCLP-patched Intel Macs are to be perceived as more valuable). I have corrected my post here which claimed that Apple released a 'no-harm-done' statement. The Apple statement I had quoted was for a different M1 architecture flaw (yes, there's more than one). Take a look at this paper to see who funded the study that found the Apple m-series DMP flaw. It usually takes a lot of resources at significant expense to test and find such flaws.
Give OCLP 1.4.3n newest nightly a try should be no problem https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/blob/main/README.md good luck!
The paper on DMP is interesting reading, esp. for a person like me who didn't follow architectures closely for a loong time (since M68k and INMOS Transputer times!)
Have fond memories of my experiments with and my papers written about the Transputer!
Have you followed this thread? More to the point, do you know what OCLP is?
You said you ran OCLP, but HOW exactly did you run it? Perhaps if you give details of the steps you followed, one would see why OCLP didn't work for you. Did you create the OCLP USB installer, did you use Option to select the installer, at what point did OCLP fail? Et cetera et cetera. As others have said above, your MBP10,1 is supported for upgrade to Sonoma, using OCLP (properly). There are guys here who are running Sonoma happily, on MBP4,1 from 2008.
Edit: @DeltaMac had already said much the same thing above. My bad.
Oh wait. Clearly this was generated by AI. No human being could be that clueless and totally devoid of context!
I've noticed that since Sonoma 14.4 the focus modes no longer synchronize 100% with the iPhone and Apple Watch. Sometimes activating or deactivating a focus mode on the iPhone and Watch also syncs on the Mac, but sometimes not. I've noticed that this happens more often with the sleeping focus mode. It simply doesn't deactivate on the Mac after deactivating it on the iPhone and Watch when I wake up. Does anyone know if this is an OCLP 1.4.2 issue or a Sonoma issue in general? Does this happen to anyone else?

Had my mid 2014 pro on for 7 days now plugged in because the battery is knackered but it hasn’t froze once (see lots of posts about crashing after a some hours) but I haven’t experienced any issues so far on 14.4 with OCLP 1.4.2.
Now the question is whether it's a general problem with Sonoma 14.4 or OCLP 1.4.2.
Tested it here with Sonoma 14.4 and OCLP 1.4.2. on a rMBP 10,1 2012. No issues with focus mode that I can see.

Apple released macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 (Build 23E224)
macOS 14.4.1 installed OTA atop 14.4, OCLP v.1.4.3n runs as expected.

Same here 👍macOS 14.4.1 installed OTA atop 14.4, OCLP v.1.4.3n runs as expected.
That depends on your hardware! If your mac was supported 1.4.2 in my opinion you can stay with 1.4.2 in my case some macs require 1.4.3n - but i think 1.4.3 will be released soon!
Even my Macbook Pro 15" 11,3 from 2013 runs OCLP Sonoma pretty nice. Everything works like a charm. Even both graphics, that I can control with gSwitch.

Downloading the OTA update to 14.4.1 on my MBP 11,3 (late 2013) with OCLP 1.4.3(n, March 18). We'll see....
Updated my Mid 2012 MBP (9,1) to 14.4.1 OTA using OCLP 1.4.3n. Upgrade was smooth this time, no need for safe mode or any other hoop jumping.
