Sonoma and a mid 2012 Mac pro

[Asarayne]

Hello again everyone. I'm back to the place where people are nice, and actually helpful.

Now I know this may not be the best place to put this thread, so please tell me if it needs to be moved, and where the best place for this query is

I updated two of my macs yesterday to sonoma since oclp hit 1.0, yay!
Went fine for the macbook pro and air I have.

But I got to work today, and I installed it on my Mid 2012 Mac pro.
I thought, hell this is probably the most powerful Mac I have on hand, let's give it a go!

Installed fine, but once it hits the desktop, both my Bluetooth, and my USB 1.0 break, I have to keep using my mighty mouse in a hub, and the Bluetooth just keeps Turning itself off.


Im wondering, did I mess something up? Or is it just growing pains for the new release?

Orrrrrr. Is it that the macpro has hit its wall, and neither the Bluetooth, or usb 1.0 will ever work properly again.

Thanks for the time!

I have same situation. Venture was working fine in my mid 2012 MacbookPro9.1 I update with OCLP 1.0.1 to Sonoma and booting fine but after freezing and NO CURSOR!! Anybody has cursor problem with 1.0.1 patch?
Can I go back to Ventura?? How?? Start all over again?

I have to correct myself. This above post is not TRUE. Finally I was able to start my Sonoma under OCLP . The trick: I have to login at first as ROOT. The user account was NOT finished with installation, that's why I thought the whole machine frozen, but NOT. So I can encourage everybody to install newer MacOS in the older Mac machine, just be patient.

You have to patch the system to make USB 1.1 work again.

The internal BT is also connected via USB 1.1. That's why it's also affected.

Repatch. hub is needed for install, after patch all is well. i have sonoma running decent, not too many problems

I just wondering anybody could run VIRTUALBOX in patched (1.0.1) Sonoma? I want to use it because sometimes I need Windows program also.

USB 1.1 support was outright removed in macOS Ventura and naturally this continues in Sonoma. While USB 1.1 may seem unimportant, it handles many important devices on your system. These include:

• Keyboard and Trackpad for laptops
• IR Receivers
• Bluetooth

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.6.0+, basic support has been implemented via Root Volume patching. However due to this, users will need to use a USB hub for installation and post-OS updates when patches are cleaned.
