I wonder... Since as of Tuesday, I'm able to run OCLP/Sonoma 14.7.7 on my 2012MBP and all things work now that hadn't back in Feb(Apple purchased movies/AppleTV/any HDCP content on external TB/HDMI monitor, Find-My), if Sequoia would also work ok on this machine... I hesitate to try now that this is working. Does anyone else have a 2012MBP with Sequoia running all native apps fine and HDCP content on external monitor?
Hello guys. My question may look a bit ignorant. Looking to update may 15.1 in foresable futura so was looking for info how to do that.
But I have not found any section in guide or help "How to perform system updates" only one FAQ pasage dealing with OTA update that may be understood as sign that OTA updates works but for such important action I was expecting clear guidance not to mess anything.
So OTA updates are safe recomended way?
Can there be any issue when it will be from version 15.1? there was not many reasons to update before final version.
Thanks

If you are referring to updating from 15.1 to 15.6, my preference would be to back up user data and clean install 15.6 from OCLP 2.4.0 created macOS 15.6 install media. OTA update from 15.1 to 15.6 might be flaky depending on your unsupported Mac hardware.
I thought you had a 2015 MBP that had the DRM issues, and why you were staying on Monterey. (last supported OS by Apple) for that machine.
MBP11,1: updated to 15.7 (24G210, RC) on external SSD, USB installer, OCLP 2.4.0.
Smooth installation, for patching a previous metallib support pkg is used.

15.7 (24G210) RC2 full installer direct download:
This is what works for me. I have written a recipe here: https://talk.tidbits.com/t/apple-just-force-upgraded-me-to-sonoma/26342/45?u=paal
If anyone here uses Telestream's ScreenFlow, there was an update today to version 10.5 after a year or two of no updates. The new update is for Sonoma, and Sequoia, so older versions of macOS, no longer supported. I installed the update on this late 2015 iMac with OCLP / Sonoma, and it seems to work fine, tried a short recording, and no apparent lag, or other issues. It does have a new audio permission to grant as well, as the program now offers Basic, and Advanced Computer Audio, recording.
Yes but only as shown below with no Subsystem ID , no Revision, no Link Width and no Link Speed. Looks like a driver is missing.

Effortless OTA Upgrade to macOS Sequoia 15.7 (24G210) in a test volume on my MBP6,2. Applied non-metal Nvidia Tesla and Wi-Fi post-install patches with modified OCLP 2.4.0 (to use KDK 24F74). Posting this with Safari 18.6 (did not upgrade Safari).

@TOM1211 Sequoia 15.7 non-metal Nvidia Tesla patches require KDK, which as roronl found is not yet available from Apple. OCLP patching behavior is different for different SMBIOS models.
@roronl The OCLP modification was first proposed by @hvds - read this which refers to his post.
EDIT: I downloaded and build 3.0.0n from source (macos-next branch) and non-metal Nvidia Tesla patches still fail because the new KDK is not yet available from Apple:
