macOS 14 Sonoma on Unsupported Macs Thread

[Bmld]

Hello, Sonoma 14.0 on Imac 2012, no video with Netflix,disney or canal+ but on YouTube , it is ok. With Chrome no problem.

Anyone tested Sonoma with a MacBook Pro 2015?

How it feels? I'm thinking on install Sonoma once the update is available on OC but don't know. The Mac is the base model so, don't know if worth it

What's your build? I have a MBP Mid 2015 11,4...Right now I'm on Ventura 13.4.1 and OCLP 0.6.8 and running great. I would wait a few weeks after reports start coming in before installing Sonoma. Ventura wasn't stable until 13.3.....I'm excited for Sonoma, but there's plenty of people with my build so I'll wait for reports. Probably mid October....

OCLP 0.6.9 running macOS Sonoma

Preliminary observations

• Menu bar in light mode even though dark mode is selected [bug]
• Sonoma Horizon - default wallpaper and screensaver [reminds me of Bliss wallpaper in Windows XP]
• 2880 x 1800 showing as 1440 x 900
• Settings now like in iOS/iPadOS [new to me since I only used Monterey and older]
• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi now works [Wi-Fi not working in OCLP 0.6.8 macOS Sonoma, Bluetooth not checked]
• Noticeably slower than Catalina and older, about the same as Big Sur and Monterey and OCLP Ventura

It is the 13" base model. 128GB SSD and 8GB RAM. I think I'll wait a little more before testing the system.

Nice topics man. Looks like a similar Big Sur performance and the other bugs doesn't seems so critical.

I think I'll wait.

Thank you for the information!

I have it installed on a base MBP 13" 2015, some lagging in the wallpaper is noticeable, but otherwise it is pretty smooth, at least with light usage.

Any issues with BT or WiFi?
Did you upgrade them or using dongles?

thanks / Jack

Steer clear from 14.1! My paperweight is stuck on the update screen.
Will have to reverse back to 14.0.

You can also save yourself some time by performing new macOS installs in a separate APFS volume. Have one 14.0 volume that's your "working" Sonoma volume and another APFS volume that is your Sonoma sandbox.

Sonoma 14.1 ok on iMac 13,2 late 2012 using OCLP 0.6.9 Nightly from today.

 

[mohkg]

Very random left my imac 17,1 and came back later to this message.... Won't even boot again unless i use a USB with the patch on it

 

[Rambear1998]

this is my second time trying to install sonoma and also this is the second time i redownload the installer just to make sure that the problem is not about the corrupted installer. Any ideas guys to fix this issue?

 

[philippemarques]

Strange, the CHANGELOG sonoma branch gives upgrade to Opencore 0.9.5
But the build says Opencore 0.9.3
The nightly build and on my own one build.

Is bluetooth working on a Macbookpro8,1 ?
Thanks

 

[deeveedee]

@philippemarques It looks to me like OC was upgraded to 0.9.5, but the OC config.plist still has OC-Version incorrectly set to 0.9.3. Do you know how to report this in Discord? I'd offer to report this for you, but you should get credit for the discovery.

EDIT: I should mention that this is only a comment in the OC config.plist and does not affect operation. If you look at the config.plist, you'll see that the #Revision section in the config.plist has a # at the beginning of the name of the section. Any label in the config.plist that starts with # denotes a comment.

OC 0.9.6
OCLP 0.6.9n
MBP 6.2
Sonoma 14 100% stable and functional, Bluetooth, QE-CI, Ethernet, CPU Frequency, Safari, Firefox, Chrome..... 👌

 

[deeveedee]

@Jhonnydj Nice! If that's a hackintosh, do not mention that on OCLP Discord channels 😂

I have seen this a few times when using a recent nightly and have fixed it by using an older version of the sonomabranch OCLP. In my case recently the version from Sept 18. You may also need to go into Disk Utility and delete the container completely (partition, click minus) and then recreate it. Or even better reformat the whole disk if that is an option. That helped here. Good luck.

Not sure I understand your comment, but the patched stuff is typically not on the USB, just the OCLP EFI files.
If this is a typical installation, have you tried rerunning OCLP and then installing it to your SSD and then if needed maybe also rerunning the OCLP patcher? That has helped with some minor issues here.
Be sure to select the relevant OCLP partition at alt-boot.

@deeveedee Do you have any idea about when we can expect to see a Sonoma 14.0 KDK?

Hi there!
Since I installed the latest OCLP nighly for Sonoma development (from today:29/09/2023), the Bluetooth doesn't work anymore with my iMac 13.2. The Magic Trackpad is not recognized anymore, and I have only a mouse option in the Control Settings. The Bluetooth can be activated but is not working. Same behavior with my MBP 13.2. With the previous OCLP, everything was working fine. Does anyone encounter the same Bluetooth issue?

Hello everyone,

I have a refurbished iMac which in theory is a model imac19.1 but the system marks it as AAPJ1391.1

This means that even though I could run Ventura and Sonoma wouldn't, With Ventura I "cheated" using an OpenCore generated on a macmini and it worked, with some issues, but with Sonoma I'd like to find a better solution. I tried to build OpenCore from this machine but I get this error:


Building Configuration on model: AAPJ1391,1
Creating build folder

- Adding OpenCore v0.9.2 RELEASE
- Adding config.plist for OpenCore
- Adding Lilu.kext 1.6.6
An internal error occurred while building:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anyone know how it could be fixed?

Thank you so much
