macOS 14 Sonoma on Unsupported Macs Thread

Well, it's done updating.. It did do a weird thing. It wanted me to sign into iCloud after it booted up. I entered my password and it sat for a bit.. everything real stuttery. Then it said it's having trouble connecting to server. I clicked skip then. It then booted rest of way and OCLP came up asking if I wanted to install root patches. I clicked yes and it did that(wanting me to go into settings about a slew of things to be allowed(didn't do anything with those)) then asked to reboot so I did that. It rebooted and I signed in. All set! Everything so far seems to work. Also replaced the wifi-BT ribbon cable and BT came back. We'll see if it stays. It was fine for a bit then just yesterday disappeared again. We'll see. Anyway, thanks Devs! and

Yeah I came back to it a few minutes ago and noticed it had populated. I think I clicked the Sonoma update and it sat for a bit then started downloading but it's downloading 13gb! is it downloading the whole thing? Pretty sure I didn't click on Sequoia update...

Root patched machines will always download full size updates due to the fact macOS thinks the volume is "broken" and needs "fixing", since the seal has to be broken in order to patch files on disk. It reseals and restores the volume to unmodified state and that's why root patches get removed after every update. Completely normal.

OK, I kinda thought maybe something like that.. I've only done full USB installers when changing macOS on these. Thanks.

In case you didn't know, the Safari update changed my default search engine to google..
