macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

[ElSooz]

Hello; I'm using the 2.10 (n) October 16 version of OCLP with Sonoma 14.7 on my late 2013 MBP 11.3 with the Nvidia 750 M GPU. It is "production worthy" as is, but I am intrigued by Sequoia. Does anybody have experience with this mac and Sequoia? In particular, is it comparably stable to Sonoma on this machine?

New OCLP 2.1.0 is out now....I'm testing it....

Update done. but after that my Mac mini doesn't start after updating root patches

 

[peppolone]

I installed and patched with version 2.1.0.
So far, everything is fine; WhatsApp works. I enabled FeatureUnlock and mediaanalysisd.

The only strange thing I’ve noticed so far is that Night Shift no longer has any effect. I see the screen as if it’s disabled, and if I adjust the slider, the color changes, but as soon as I let go, it goes back to normal. I had to enable 'Turn on until sunrise.'

try restart in safe mode, revert and patch again

 

[mat316]

try restart in safe mode, revert and patch again

result is the same by pressing the shifty key at the start.

Did you build and install on the disk before doing the root patch? I don't know

No.
I update OCLP and then doing installing the root patches. ****! My mistake. is there a way to fix it? I have a second hd on this Mac with 14.7. and OCLP 2.0.2...

Try to build and install 2.1.0 from the second hd onto your first hd...or from a usb drive.
Don't worry if you update OC on the second disk, you will still have the build of 2.0.2 if you don't install it on its disk
For some (I’m not talking about you), it’s not clear that if you update but don’t build-install, you only have the app updated... being updated on the Mac doesn’t mean it’s updated on the disk.

OCLP 2.1 released mine still fails to build for me

An internal error occurred while building:

if you got another boot system you could just delete the root patches in Library/Extensions

Exactly the same issue here

 

[rehkram]

Looks like an untrapped exception error (something missing perhaps), in the new save config OCLP feature.
For the record, it's not happening here on a rMBP10,1 2012

 

[Kevo]

I just updated to OCLP 2.1.0 and didn't see any unusual issues. Updated the EFI on my boot volume, rebooted, updated root patches, rebooted, and everything seems good so far. (MBP mid 2012, non retina.)

I updated to 2.1.0 final and tried to spoof a MacMini 7,1 to 8,1 with moderate spoofing level. Got this error that also I saw with 2.0.2.

Have you redownloaded the Mac OS Installer? It looks like it's having trouble extracting some files from the Installer.

Doesn’t start how? No chime? No video? Completely dark? Or stuck booting with visible progress bar?

 

[jaxparo]

OCLP 2.1.0 working on iMac 14,1, Mini 3,1, and MBP 13,3 with MacOS 15.1 (24B83). Using Nightlly 2.1.0 prior to 2.1.0 release. Problems: iMac sometimes has Firefox or other browser crash after hours solid use that persists until reboot. Not big issue. Also saw Photos.app crash, fixed with reboot. Mini 3,1 spent hours with high CPU after updating MacOS, lots of indexing, etc. Mini 3,1 Legacy WiFi works, but doesn’t show any Tx or Rx rates in MenuMeters or Apple WiFi utilities. MBP 13,3 has Messages.app beachball seemingly due to identityservicesd crash. Messages 99% unusable, only a single message sent, a couple received using any version of Sequoia. Messages.app must be Force Quit during beachballing. Relaunching identityservicesd.app doesn’t help. Severe issue.

Hold Start button until tiny startup light flashes, then release.

I'll try.

 

[nekton1]

Nope, that didn't work too. I dled that latest 15.1 final again and got a similar error but more verbose this time.

Going to format the USB with DU and try again with earlier 15.1 beta.
Going to try an earlier Sequoia beta and see.

 

[nekton1]

Nope, failed again with similar error. This was using fresh version of OCLP 2.1 and freshly download version of 15.1 beta prior to final release,

Going to try 15.0.1 and if that fails will switch off SMBIOS spoofing and see if it succeeds. If it does, I guess the OCLP code has some issue spoofing Sequoia 15.x.

 

[Kazenofab68]

OCLP 2.1.0 trying from today

 

[nekton1]

Same error with 15.0.1 and OCLP2.1. Going to try without spoofing MM7,1 to 8,1.
