Hi guys! Does anyone know how to stop the patcher app from checking for updates/notifying when there is a new update available? I have OCLP installed on a lot of systems, so there is an option in the patcher settings to “ignore app updates” but this doesn't seem to have any effect. What could I do about? Thanks!

Is it worth to install hackintosh in old motherboard and cpu 2nd generation instead of windows 10 , And will it be installable with nivida gpu

This one has me stumped: I have a late Intel-era machine that I've successfully set up with a Mojave partition (first), a Monterey partition (second), and a small 650mb Mojave recovery partition (last, and it was a bit of a trick getting it to display at the end given that the first two partitions are APFS, and the Mac bootloader will typically list MacOS extended partitions first). So far so good, and Windows and Linux distros are purring inside Parallels VMs.

Anyway, to save drive space and alleviate longterm SSD wear-leveling concerns, I created a new APFS volume in the Mojave partition, and copied over Monterey into it w/CCC6, then deleted the Monterey partition. Next restart, I held down option and noticed Monterey's icon was displaying before Mojave's in bootloader order. After considerable monkeying around remaking and shifting around partitions and volumes, I've determined that Apple would not permit the older OS to display before the newer one in an APFS volume-set. (Whether this is glitchy happenstance or deliberate FU to user wishes I do not know as yet.)

-- What Terminal (or utility) wizardry will overcome this?

(Note: I am NOT asking how to set a default startup disk, as that's just a user-setting that will be borked by a PRAM zap, and likely anything else that reenables SIP, such as installing a new OS version into another volume, etc.)

My first update since installing oclp. Went smooth as can be. I found contradicting advice on the process so here's what I did in case it helps anyone.

1. Update oclp to latest version, install root patches etc, let it reboot.
2. Update via regular software updates in settings. Oclp will popup and say that it sees you're attempting an update so can it do it's thing? Say yes. Both mac update and oclp do their things downloading and rebooting.
3. System comes back up. For me Bluetooth and internet didn't work so I had to plug a USB keyboard and mouse in to get through the prompts.
4. Once in oclp asks to run root patches again. It does, reboots, and voila, everything works again with all my settings still there.
5. Swith off automatically download updates.

I’ve got two old MBPs from 2011 and 2013 that I’m trying to update to 15.4. The updates show up, the process seems to start but after reboot the Macs are still reporting 15.3. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong here?

Bonus question

How the hell do I get rid of the “macOS installer” from my boot options?

I am using OpenCore 1.0.3 to build a hackintosh on an Intel machine.

The hardware specs are:

• CPU: Intel i7-10700k (Comet Lake)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490 Vision G
• Storage: West Digital SN750
• Graphic Card: AMD 6600XT
• Wireless Card: Fenvi T919 (Chip: Broadcom BCM94360CD)
• Ethernet Card: ASUS XG-C100C V2 10G Ethernet Card (Chip: AQC107)

Two days ago, I upgraded my Hackintosh to Sonoma 14.7.5 from 14.7.4 using OTA. After that, I applied root patches of OpenCore Legacy Patcher to bring my WiFi/BT alive. Unfortunately, the Internet connection becomes unstable since the patching work was done.

The detailed situation is:

• When macOS has just been started up, the Internet is fine. But, after all services loaded up (I guess), the Internet connection is gone (you can't visit any web pages in the browser). Waited for a minute or two, the Internet went back for a while, and became disconnected then.
• Turning on WiFi but not connecting to any hotspots, the Internet will stay connected longer using Ethernet. But, still, the Internet will disconnect sooner or later.
• Once the Internet disconnected, turn on/off WiFi and the browser prompts "Internet connection changed", the Internet will be connected automatically later.

Double checked already:

• Kernel Quirk "DisableIoMapper" is false, "DisableIoMapperMapping" is true and "ForceAquantiaEthernet" is true
• OpenCore Legacy Patcher version is 2.2.0 (tried latest version 2.3.1, but the problem still exists)
• Custom DMAR work is done
• "SecureBootModel" is Disabled
• "csr-active-config" is 03080000
• Latest AMFIPass.kext, IOSkywalkFamily.kext, IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext are placed into EFI/OC/Kexts and enabled in config.plist. The kernel>block is properly configured to allow IOSkywalk downgrade.

I have been searching for the solution for two days and found no one on the Internet. Really appreciate the help if someone knows how.

The complete EFI files are here.

Hi,

Safari has been broken on my Mac Pro 5,1 since at least Sonoma 15.2. No matter what site I try to open, I just get the message: “There is a recurring problem with https://…”.

I tried a full reinstall of Sonoma 15.4, but nothing changed. Firefox, Chrome, and other browsers work fine.

The real issue is that some apps no longer work either, especially login pages that won’t load at all. I assume they rely on the same engine as Safari.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Any possible fixes?

Hello, just installed Mac os sequoia on to my MacBook and I'm not able to turn on low power mode, it comes up in settings but is greyed out, the battery is official

-> MacBookPro 8,1 (late 2011, 13-inch), intel chip Sandy Bridge -> Existing native OS: HighSierra 10.13.6 -> broken backlight, I use it with external monitor and use the flashlight trick for BIOS -> OCLP 2.2.0

Hi community, it turned out that I know just enough about operating systems to get myself in trouble, but not enough to get myself out of it. Here's what I did:

Downloaded OCLP to my mac

Downloaded Ventura image and followed instructions to create bootable disk using an external hdd I had around. however on boot menu this did not appear. Retried the process successfully with a 32fb flash drive.

On reboot with boot menu I saw three entries: HighSierra HD EFI (generic orange volume icon) EFI (OCLP icon with small orange volume icon superimposed)

I clicked the first EFI one and this went to white screen with 🚫 symbol.

I rebooted and chose the third option with OCLP icon.

Lots of text acrolled across the acreen and then it went black. The text disappears pretty quickly but I can see that it ends on "End randomseed".

I can no longer boot to HighSierra HD. Because I can't get back in, I can't read detailed kernel or oclp logs.

I can get boot menu, but not recovery partition (either locally or via network).

I erased my HighSierra bootable usb previously and forgot to make a new one, in my excitement to finally get the Ventura USB working 🤦

Next I got on my windows laptop and started trying to create a HighSierra USB to recover my mac. I gave up after kexts as I felt extremely out of my depth. Now I have asked a friend with a modern Mac to download OCLP and prepare a HighSierra USB for me.

So my question is, am I headed in the right direction to repair my mac?

And second, is there an obvious reason why this failed? After reading through the kernel kexts and drivers walk-through, I got the idea that maybe something isn't supported. But doesn't OCLP desktop app take care of all that? do I still need to manually mess with the config files on the EFI?

Thanks in advance!

Hola chicos tengo una iMac 2013 27 pulgadas 14,2, tenía Macos sequoia funcionando bien, llegó una actuación de OpenCorelegacy y hice lo que se tiene que hacer y instalar en OpenCorelegacy en el disco y listo, pues de allí en adelante se queda en la manzana y no avanza, y aveces entre cuando quiere después de tantos reicnicios, pensé que era un problema de hardware pues fórmate y puede catalina y todo bien, volví a instalar OpenCorelegacy 2.3.1 y vuele a pasar lo mismo se queda en la manzana ya he formateado 5 veces y me visto como 10 tutoriales por si algo se me escapaba, agradecería su ayuda por favor.

This will be my first point-release OS update since installing OCLP. Just so I'm clear, I can use the regular macOS update process, and then just need to install the root patches once it's done - is that right?

Every time I update macOS, the iMac restarts and is so slow that I can only assume the GPU is not working. It takes me about 10 minutes to move the mouse cursor to the password box on the login screen and type it in and then when I finally get to the Desktop it’s still unusable slow (maybe 1 frame per second) and OCLP pops up saying “you’re running without root patches” and it runs the patcher.

Is there no way to get ahead of this before updating? I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong: any time there’s an update, I update OCLP and run everything possible (except root patching as that won’t run with a pending update). OCLP even detects when an update is downloading and asks to do something (can’t remember the exact message but something like “OCLP has detected an update is downloading - would you like to [perform some action]?” which seems to be advisable so I say yes.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi all, I'm currently running on my MacBook Pro 12,1 (13" Retina early 2015) Ventura 13.7.4. Apple released an update to 13.7.5. Can I run this update just from the Systemcontrol page or have I do an install of a new installer via OCLP?

please wait for download ath3kbtinjector...
could not find download url for ath3kbtinjector
please try again later.

I have tried many times but still getting the error
help!!

I currently have a (Hackintosh)Mi Notebook 14 running Sonoma 14.7.2. I have configured everything in it like graphics acceleration and all. But at times it still struggles to keep up, like using multiple chrome tabs and all. It has 8gbs of ddr4 ram and 512gbs of ssd. The laptop is nearly 5-6 years old. The battery lasts about 2 hours. Can i upgrade the memory in any way(they say it is soldered). Will replacing the battery give it a performance boost and long battery run time(company claimed 12-14 hours of battery while buying). Or should i just buy a new M1 Macbook Air(8/256) for 650 dollars [M2(16/256) costs around 950 dollars. (I do not live in US)] as I will be pursuing an engineering degree starting from next month. I don’t wanna spend too much if I could get my job done with less.

• Started sometime after updating to Big Sur. Am currently on Monterey and still happen randomly while using macOS (so far 2 out 7 days on Monterey)
• S.M.A.R.T. of SSD reports back as "verified"
• Crashes continue after adding NVMeFix.kext
• After crash, on reboot the whole BIOS takes a while to load and even completely freezes or doesn't get to OC. Have to restart PC many times to get it to work normal again.
• Rig: Z370M / AMD Radeon RX 570 8 GB
• Latest error log sample:

Should I try an update its firmware from Windows?

Ho guys I’m happy with with Sonoma on my MacBook Pro 15 retina mid 2012, I’ve tried Sequoia some months ago (last december) but it was too laggy and not properly smooth. Do you recomend to upgrade to the latest Sequoia? Thanks

Hi, I’ve got a MacBook Air 2012 running the latest sequoia. It’s been working fine, just installed the latest sequoia and oclp root patch updates, and upon rebooting, my desktop screen is totally black with glitchy vague outlines of the normal icons and windows. (Needless to say I can’t see what I’m clicking on at all and can’t remember the details of the latest updates). The welcome screen where you enter password is fine however. I’ve manually shutdown and reset a few times and it’s still like this. Would love any help, thanks!

I updated from 15.3.1 to 15.4 and Post-Install Root Patched with 2.3.1 but now my wifi is no longer working and graphics are not optimized. After the Post-Install Root Patch, it is not asking me to reboot. I have a mid-2014 MacBook Pro. Any idea why?

I just installed Sequoia on an iMac 2017 17". I was going to install Homebrew, but I thought I saw OLCP macs were unsupported? What's the consensus from those going before me?

AI says:

Homebrew: Most popular, widest package selection, fastest installs (usually via bottles), potentially most likely to interact with system changes (pro and con). Generally well-supported on modern macOS.

MacPorts: Strong isolation (/opt/local), comprehensive package selection (though sometimes slightly behind Homebrew), builds from source more often (slower, potential build issues, but tailored to the system), well-supported on modern macOS. A good alternative if Homebrew causes issues.

Fink: Strong isolation (/sw), but significantly smaller package selection, slower updates, and questionable support/testing for the very latest macOS versions that OCLP enables. Historically important, but less relevant today for most users, especially on cutting-edge (even if patched) OS versions.

Hey anyone finds the volume adjustment tone (keyboard Volume up/down button) is not there anymore? Quickly google'd it and it seems holding shift button + Volume up/down button does give me back the tone.

is that normal? thx

Hi all.

As the subject suggests, I have a mid2014 15" Retina MBP that I'm thinking about pushing to Monterey, and I wonder if anyone has successfully done this. The reason for this is that updates to software I use are only supporting macOS 12 now. I work in music production, so it's (fairly) important to stay up-to-date with these things. That being said, it's obviously critical that there are no possible issues with CoreAudio or with the Thunderbolt functionality.

Importantly, does installing this update require reinstalling the whole machine, or would it install "over" the current OS?

I notice on the OpenCore github site that it lists the mid-2014 15" Retina MBP as model 11,3. However my model number is 11,2. I have confirmed that my model is indeed mid-2014 by running the serial number. Apple's website lists BOTH these model numbers for the late-2013 and mid-2014 15". Not sure then which OpenCore installer would be best to use.

I appreciate any advice I can get, thanks
