Sonoma 14.1 Issues! Black Screen after update OCLP 1.1.0 Details + Fix
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- The macOS Sonoma 14.1 update is causing issues for some Unsupported OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.1.0 Mac devices that require an updated 14.1 KDK update. After installing the Sonoma 14.1 Update the Mac will be stuck at a progress bar, or Black Screen and be unable to boot back into the OS. I'll show you how to get your Mac back up and running again.
UPDATE! OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.2.1 is live! This fixes the issues found in the macOS Sonoma 14.1 and 14.1.1 updates!
Commands in macOS Recovery to revert the root patches
mount -uw "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
bless --mount "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" -bootefi --last-sealed-snapshot
then reboot

I would like to thank all the developers that allow those of us with old macs to update to the last operating systems. I only saw this video after starting to update my iMac 10.1 and after the fiirst restart it failed to install Sonoma 14.1. Tried a second time to install and this second time everything worked as expected and I'm now on Sonoma 14.1 on a 14 year old iMac, upgraded last year with a 1TB SSD.
@pedromonteiro6043 agreed! The devs are awesome, just think of the stress they are going through right now trying to fix the issue. They already have 1.2.0 in dev with multiple fixes! I'm glad your iMac is up and running 👍
Hello Mr.Macintosh
I am blocked with this issue (progress bar blocked around 20%)
I tried your solution : start and hold option key, select EFI Boot, press space bar, select Recovery 14.0 (dmg), and .. nothing happened.
The screen is black and finally the Mac reboot automatically.
Can you please help me to repair the EFI Boot ?
Thank you very much.
My 2015 iMac 5K was stuck at Apple logo with no progress bar and recovery method worked like a charm and I am back in business. Thanks for the quick video, it is much appreciated! And if anyone from OCLP teams sees this, we are all very grateful for your insanely hard work.
I have my Macbook Air 2017 and this happened to me, I tried holding the shift button after rebooting from stuck progress bar and luckily the login screen showed up and I was able to apply patches from there.
Always the truth and a honest review or finding solutions for serious issues from Mr. Macintosh! Kudos 😎
This didn't fix my issue. I am still stuck at about 25-30% status bar. Wifi isn't working. Will there be more direction for those with a macbook pro from 2013? Maybe my issue can be remedied with a wired dongle? Should this be ethernet to usb? Many thanks!!!
Wonderfull. Thank you very much. My MacBook Pro 2015 is now back to life.
ok, this is why I can't have nice toys.
I want to start fresh.
I want to completely delete OS Sonoma and OCLP and reinstall Catalina
What steps are required to do this?
Link to steps is appreciated.
still going to stick with Ventura for the time being...
Thank you. You always speak with clarity and in a practical thorough way. Just know we really appreciate you.
I have a problem when I write the command like in the video,
The computer shows me:
Snapshot manipulation failed
What should I do😢
My 2012 MBP was on 14.0 and I updated to 14.1 via the GUI and it wouldn’t get past the boot screen.
I launched into safe mode with shift key, removed root patches, rebooted back into safe mode, applied root patches and solved!
Now happily running Sonoma 14.1, 2.9GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 2TB 870 SSD 👌
Thanks dude. I solved my problem in the same way on my 2012 MBP 🙏
How did you remove them? Did you Revert by clicking the button on OCLP, or did you manually deleted the folders?
@@english.ricardo using the buttons in OCLP 👍
2013 iMac and 2015 MBP here, installed by downloading and creating a USB stick of 14.1. The new KDK was installed from there so no issues for me. Hope this helps.
Finally my 8.3 macbook pro 17” functions but so many problems like glitches and sluggish and wallpaper upside down and no original walpapers work without downloading into photos
NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE .
i was on 14.0 (macbook pro 13 2017) and over it I installed oclp 1.2.1 and applied the root patches but system failed, now after "mount" and "bless" I am able to boot the system, after that I downloaded KDK for 14.0 (exact build) and ran the oclp 1.1.0 but system again not bootable (strangely can't see anything related to "KDK found" durring OCLP patching), how to install back the drivers on sonoma 14.0?
I have an iMac 21.5 from 2011 and I can confirm that this works. I didn't even have Ethernet let alone Wi-fi. I reverted the patches then got Ethernet back. opencore window popped up suggesting me a newer version, installed it but got a black screen. then I typed in those commands. iMac booted up normal but again no WiFi no Ethernet, then applied post install patches after reboot. Ethernet was active, WiFi was on but no network was shown. you should go into system settings then network then select your WiFi manually.
First off, i have to say that this video and all your videos are absolutely awesome, and help a great deal! I have a strange issue that's very close to this one. I'm on a late 2013 iMac running Sonoma 14.4.1, using the OCLP 1.4.3. The computer was running laggy after reboot, so i ran the patcher and it would not let me in past the login screen in normal or Safe Mode. So i did the "bless to the last snapshot", now i don't even get to the login screen, i instead get the back screen when booting, but i can now get in Safe Mode. Really unsure what my next steps are from here? Would it be possible to run the bless to last snapshot again, or plug Ethernet into the iMac and run the patcher again, or is there a third option that i can try to resolve the issue?
so basically unsupported macs becoming hackintosh
Firstly, thank you once again for the detailed guide.
I bit the bullet yesterday and ended up having the Apple logo + 1/3 stuck loading bar. Tried rebooting several times with no luck. Today saw this video and solved the stuck boot problem. 2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro, had to enter safe boot and reapply the Root Patches (luckily I have a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter so there were no major issues).
So far it's all working ok. Thank you!
Glad you are back up and running again @lmarq 👍
Hi. My iMac 11.3 doesn’t even load recovery mode, just showing black screen and after 2 min start to reboot.
Just updated OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.2.0 this morning and waiting for the results of your tests to upgrade to Sonoma 14.1
Refresh, Refresh, Refresh,… Thank you for your work!!!
I installed the KDK, saw it in the library folder, but OCLP (1.1) doesnt mention it in the log. Did it install it anyway? Can someone confirm?
I noticed that with mine too, but I’m having a somewhat different issue on my Late 2013 iMac with a Lock Screen that flashes to back every like 10 seconds and not allowing me to login
Hi! so I am in kind of a different issue... I have a 2016 MBP with TB and TouchID, version 1.1.0 of Opencore and 14.0 MacOS (even tried 14.1) and the patcher, when applying root patches, only detects and installs patches for: "Graphics: Intel Skylake" and "Networking: Modern Wireless" but nothing about T1 as I could see in your video. Have you ever seen this? My touch bar is blank, BTW. Thank you so much in advance. Thanks!
Thank you. My Mac back in business 🤝
Sonoma 14.1 on MB Pro 2015 early work well
You're welcome! Glad it is fixed @korotkovpro
Question, If we do the OCLP update first, will the 14.1 update go well, or will we have to go through this procedure?
Good afternoon Mr. Macintosh,
Thank you for the wonderful explanation.
I work with a Macbook pro Mid 2015.
I tried everything several times, as you explain it so professionally.
But, if I start it up like you did, I get the same screen, but I only get the white bar that always stops in the middle! What else can I do? Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards from Belgium
i have not updated sonoma yet and will wait. i do have the oclp 1.1.0, but stiil it's working fine so i will stay put til that's ironed out....thanks for posting this as i was planning to update later today on my 2012 13" mbp.
I have an 2015 MBA and was thinking about updating from Ventura to 14.1 earlier but I guess I should wait for now. Thank you for the video
because OCLP 1.1 forget include KDK 14.1 23b74. If you reboot error, update kdk to 14.1, then patch. That' s ok. Thx, mr.mactonish , you are my god.🎉
Whew, lock up on Apple logo all night but was able to follow your Sonoma original update after erasing hard disk and I'm back up until next attempt to upgrade......
Sorry you were having troubles @Soundofjoy but I'm hoping the reinstall well go well!
@@Mr.Macintosh Its all good, you helped me upgrade my 2012 macbook pro from Yosemite to Monterey. Did a complete wipe and loaded up newer programs. Still looking at perhaps a M1 macbook pro cause this thing gets too hot running newer programs :)
Glad I caught this video in time. So precautions can be taken. 😅 How can I troubleshoot or fix Bluetooth issues on 14.0? It's the only thing not working it's just perma toggled off. Root patches are installed too. I'm on a MBP 6,1 mid 2010 laptop.
Your fix was amazing, the safe boot mode was enough to solve my problem. I've just noticed that my MacBooks wasn't able to connect to my iPhone's personal hotspot. So if you have any fix for that, it would be very appreciated. Thanks
I'm on 2012 iMac on OCLP 1.1.0 on Sonoma 13.1 working without issues though, didn't encounter black screen problems etc.
GARY!!!!!!!!! You my friend YOU are a LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! Never had an issue on my mid 2011 27" Imac till this time and you save me an my beautiful Imac! Many thanks and keep your amazing work!!!!!
Well, I just ran into the dreaded blackscreen at login with sonoma on a 2011 macbook pro... ur advice and steps saved me a reinstall and enabled me to login and reapply the correct root patches ...thanks!
I just updated the 14.1 on my mac pro 2014 and know it says that my 13inch screen is a 42inch screen and it is not connecting to wifi and a lot of weird stuff
Can u help me . when I installed macOS Sonoma om my macbook6,1 my trackpad & keyboard stoped working . When I install macOS Monterey its works fine . Can u pls help. My OCLP version is 2.0.1
I wish I could have seen this sooner, I already wiped out my 2015 MBP and back to older version
I just had issues, and I had to reboot my 2014 13" MacBook Pro into Safe Mode, in which I could log into macOS, and then the Post-Install progress startet. Past this, I was able to finish the process in a whole which includes the post-installation of OpenCore *.* ... be mentioned that I updated to OCLP 1.1.0 BEFORE I hit the update to Sonoma 14.1.
Hi. I installed Sonoma 6 months back on my Early 2013 Macbook Pro 15” Retina version and it was working fine.
But since morning, when I try to login to my account to work, the loading bar get’s stuck at 40%. It keeps happening and it gets stuck at the same place.
I tried to keep it calm and let the loading bar finish the process but then suddenly screen dim down and then turns off but keyboard light stays on for few seconds and turns off too.
I tried almost everything that was in my reach through your and other videos. But still the same issue.
I can login to Safe mode though. But don’t know how to fix it.
I am ready to format the machine and fresh install OpenCore. But don’t know how to make a new bootable drive now as I can’t login to the machine.
Please help🙏
Thank you🙏🙏
Thank you 🙏🏼.
I have a collection of 20 Pros, Airs, and iMacs 2009-2020. I updated them all to 14.1 last night and today. Some went smoothly and some were hard. All were successful in the end. Two suggestions that have helped me. 1. Keep an installation of a previously working system (like Ventura) on another volume so you can always boot back to that. 2. Download the installer and build an installer disk with OCLP and then boot with that and start an install to your current installation. 14.1 sees that you are installing to 14.0 and does an upgrade. Lastly, if it hangs you can sometimes power off and restart and hold down the shift key and limp up to safe mode, install patches and then reboot. I’m surprised by the amount of variations from one machine to the next but that’s the fun right! Sometimes you just have to tinker.
Many thanks for your advice and late night work. Certainly I can wait…and still no action without your assistance. Always good to wait a while before installing system updates.
hello, I NEED HELP, after I installed sonoma 14.1.2 on imac 2010 27 inch, the computer worked fine for 3 days, and on the 4th the screen did not turn on, if I turn it off from behind and turn it on several times sometimes it turns on and it's ok, but if I turn it off and the screen doesn't turn on anymore, only the start-up sound and the fan can be heard, what would be the problem??? thank you
I had a blowout on Ventura 13.6.1 when I upgraded to 1.3.0 and installed and root patched. Bless saved the day. Should I remove 1.3.0 or install a kdk ? If install a kdk do I grab the latest or closest to13.6.1 ? TYVM
I had the stuck at 30% screen while updating last night to 14.1, rebooted in safe mode, quick verification of my user, the machine took over and completed the install after that and all is well. thanks to Mr Mac for the safe boot tip in previous videos to get me out of a sticky situation! Cheers

Please check OCLP Troubleshooting again, because your guide is incomplete or outdated,
you didn't tell about the last very important step, to remove ".kexts" files.
Third terminal command should be:
cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions" && ls
"You should now see bunch of .kexts. If you only see .kexts starting with "HighPoint" and "SoftRAID", you can ignore this and just restart the system. If other kexts are found, continue.
Delete everything except for the ones that start with HighPoint and SoftRAID, by using rm -rf "kextname"
Then restart and now your system should be restored to the unpatched snapshot and should be able to boot again."
Thanks for this video! Three little notes: 1) I thought I'd prepared sufficiently by installing OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.1.0 over Ethernet, and just in case I manually installed the KDK for 14.1 too, before upgrading from macOS 14.0 to 14.1. Still, I got the 30-40% progress bar issue while upgrading the OS, and had to boot to safe mode, which let the upgrade complete. I could then remove the root patches and reinstall them, and everything worked fine in the end. Note 2) The system is very slow at the login screen in safe mode on my unsupported MBP 15" late 2013 when entering my password. Might affect all older machines and not just mine. And note 3) If you run Boot Camp, the EFI partition might show up labeled as "Windows", but the icon is the same design as shown in the video.
Hi All,
iMac 15,1 upgrade via OpenCore 1.1.0 to Sanoma 14.1 failed with simple, dead, black screen result.
I followed the script in this clip (thanks) but sluggish login screen and could not get any further so last night I created a 32Gb install USB on another old Mac (OpenCore 1.1.0 specifying target 15,1 for our iMac and Sanoma 14.1) , space bar to select the install USB drive and then all worked as per normal install process.
Now Time Machine backup!
Hope this proves helpful :)
Hi Mr Macintosh,
I have iMac 15.1 27 inch 2014 I am running Big Sir 11.7.10. 8 GB ram, 1TB Fusion Drive
I have followed your instructions off youtube video 3 week ago. I use the atest opencore legacy patcher 1.1.0 I only could get to the download to external HHD 1 TB it stalled could you help thought this issue I appreciate if you would be able to help.
I has updated my OS version to 14.6.1 last night to my Mac air 2015, it booted up after updated, but stucked in 30% booting bar after I runned open core patch, tried to run it in safe mode again and runned patched once more time, after that same issue is still there and I can not enter it in safe mode any more.
Tried to run recovery mode but it failed.
Anyone can help me?
I found this too late. Based on your previous video, I attempted to install 14.1 ....crash and burn........
I have already deleted the hard drive and reloaded the OS on my MacBook Pro up to Ventura. Now I am looking for a fresh copy of Sonoma 14.0, but I have not been able to find it. Do you have a link to download the fresh copy? All I found was 14.1 or downloading the 12 GB Installer, which does not work. Your advice will be appreciated.
Hi, great videos thanks so much for providing such great instruction. I followed one of your previous videos to install Sonoma on my iMac 2010 via USB, but when I clicked the EFI option in Recovery... the screen went black. I restarted but it seems that I cannot get into Recovery at all now. I've tried holding Option on restart multiple times, Option-R, resetting the PRAM, resetting the SMC, but no matter what I do it seems that I cannot get into Recovery at all. I have pulled the SSD and tried installing high Sierra onto it from a mac pro with Monterey but that was unsuccessful as Monterey is too new apparently (even with a patcher installing it direct to the SSD). I have also created a bootable USB with Monterey and also another with High Sierra, but it seems the problem is that I cannot get into Recovery or see anything on the screen when I restart, in order for me to do anything. I have even pulled both SSD and HDD, replacing the HDD with a drive I know has High Sierra on, but again, black screen no matter what I do. I have tested the keyboard, working OK, The screen does fire up as I can see LCD illumination but I do not get any options. Would you be able to suggest something else? Thank you! K
Hello everyone! Need some help!. I have a Imac 2012 27'" sonoma 14.2.1. I was away for a month working and today I turn my machine on and open core pop up telling there was patch update, I click on it, it downloaded applied all patch and reboot. Now I am stuck apple logo screen.. I tried doing this from video. I bless volume all .. reboot now loading and suddenly get stuck now midway..
Whats option now? what should I try I do not want to lose data on hard drive.
Model A1398 Macbook Pro 2015 Upgrade to Sonoma after several hours upgrading it remove all patches. After rebooting many times and follow instruction in terminal it does not work. Then try to start and wait for few minutes then re boot to safe mode. Now it work then patches now ok. Lesson let update during night it will take several hours to finish updating 3 hrs minimum. Now try the suggestion in safe mode then patches. The reason takes time it removed all patches then it install new fresh Sonoma. Try to go back Sonoma 14.0 it does not allowed to downgrade. Or better wait for the latest OCLP.
Thanks to developers, macboook pro 2011 issues with bluethooth doesnt work, even after update
I have a 2011 Mac Mini and I have Sonoma 14.1 on it with Open Core 1.2.1. It works fine when I first boot it but when I leave it for awhile, it freezes up. I can't figure out what the problem is. Do you have any advice? Thanks.
Thanks for this tutorial. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. I got as far as the commands in the terminal, but when I restarted it went back to the black screen and didn’t do anything. I have a feeling my 2013 MacBook Air is bricked.
I have tried everything you suggested and it still wont come up. I don't think my Macbook Pro 2015 was named correctly. I cant figure out how to get into it. I tried using 1TB which is what shows in disc utility. I am on disability and cant afford a new computer and or take it to a shop to get it fixed. Do you work on these? I can't afford much but I need my MacBook Pro back as I am writing a book and also close to launching a podcast about local fire service history. Thanks for reading this and any help.
My Early 2015 13" Macbook Pro was able to boot to the login screen after installing the 14.1 update but would freeze the progress at around 20%. I was able to initially boot into safe mode which 'completed' the install but would not log in completely. I was able to boot the system a second time into safe mode and install the KDK (which I downloaded prior to attempting upgrade) as well as installing root patches. The system successfully booted into macOS but OCLP was no longer working on the system. Installed OCLP once again and everything appears to be working. The overheating issue I saw on 14.0 appears to be reduced which is a positive point.
@edwardvaughn5765 I'm glad you were able to get your MBPro fixed up! Thank you for sharing the steps that you used to fix it up
14.1 on mac pro 5,1 with rx570...installed and working...during install, be prepared for 4 or 5 restarts and no countdown timer till almost the last screen...some pauses as well but it continued thru with no issues..with all the people having no boot or blackscreen issues ,i was concerned..
on the final boot the apple logo disappeared and there was a blackscreen, but I noticed the computer had gone to sleep! tapping the keyboard woke it up and I was greeted with the install screens that come up just b4 u get to desktop... so it worked, seems ok but will make u wonder during the prolonged install
I’m still having issues with a mid 2012 MacBook Pro the problem is I haven’t even been able to get past the apple logo so I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time for it to be fixed it’s a 13” non retina unibody btw
Macbook Pro 2012, i followed your instructions and i was at the downloading kdk in the another device but when i used usb it wont detect the usb and ethernet wont work also..please help. Thank you
I am having this same problem but I cannot boot into safe mode or recovery mode. My 2014 iMac just sits on a black screen. Regular boot process just remains on the apple logo with no progress bar. Would love some help from these great people.
One more thing if you don’t have wifi since it needs to be root patch before you can use wifi. You can use iphone that have same apple id of your mac you can use it as a hotspot and automatically detected by mac
Thanks!
My iphone's hotspot worked only through the cable. MBP Mid 2015
Totally got that black screen, didn't see this video, so I had to completely reinstall my computer and transfer everything back LOL
Hi!
I need to roll back, And after trying to start the recovery option, the screen goes black and nothing happens for hours. I am on Ventura. Is there anyother way to get to recovery mode and have thouse mount and bless commands given to the system?
Its seems opencore has fucked my Imac after i tried booting up with a thunderbolt to hdmi. Now it wont do anything at all.
I am going back to windows these Imacs are garbage
My issue is when I take a screen shot on my MacBook, it doesn't show the pop up preview at the right corner like usual. But instead it copies to the clipboard :V
Despite following all steps, after performing root-patching and rebooting I still end up at stuck progress bar during logging in :(
I recently updated my mac pro 2017 none touch bar to Sonoma and i put it sleep and now it wont come on, what is the best about way to go into bringing it back to life?
open core patcher 1.2.0 is out. Works just fine on macbook pro 2013 from 14.0 to 14.1 just an hour ago.
After all my mac is still booting from last-sealed-snapshot. How do I boot from original disk again?
i have mac mini 2014 i install opcl sonama 14 now update 14.1 im freez on logo
how can fix it?😢
My MacBook Pro 2012 had crashed and I had to do a fresh installation rolling back to 14.0
How long should disk utility screen pop up ? It’s just a black screen
Thanks for the headsup :)
Installing the root patches after reverting via terminal did not work I still have black screen on boot what else can I do for TS?
Solved it using safe mode to install previous oclp 1.0.1 with root patches. Sonoma 14.1
Glad you got it fixed up @daverac!
Hy! How can we solve bluetooth problem, not working? Thanks!
I ran into an issue with osx 14.1 on my 2017 Macbook Pro. The installation went fine but after I restarted, my mac would get stuck at the login screen.
Were you able to get it fixed @elkillerx?
@@Mr.Macintosh Unfortunately no. Initially when the 14.1 patch was installed I was able to log in but I noticed my WiFi and fingerprint sensor stopped working. I did the post-install root patch after, but once the machine restarted it would not go past the login screen after I entered my password. I ended up reverting back to osx 14. I created a new usb installer with 14.1 but I'm afraid to try the update again
Just to be clear: updating to 14.1 is not adviced until further notice?
I installed office 365 when I block the text and the block is not transparent.
update:
terminal commands didn't work.
created OCLP Sonoma 14.1 installer USB
Attempted to reinstall
Still stuck at 40% after install
Going to wipe HD and start new again.
Any other suggestions before I proceed?
Also, any reason why the internal fan is on high since this whole problem started?
MacbookPro10,2 here. I had opencore patcher 1.1.0 with Sonoma 14.0 and I tried to upgrade to Sonoma 14.1 OTF and it failed. No ethernet cable, so I guess it was because of lack of Wifi. Anyway, I've had the problem and the only workaround I found was to use my TimeMachine to install my Catalina again and although I could not initiate it afterwards, then I reinstalled Sonoma 14.0 and it worked.
My question is: now I have opencore 1.1.0 in Sonoma 14.0. If I create with opencore patcher app an USB installer of Sonoma 14.1 and I use it to upgrade my Sonoma 14.0, would it fail again or doing this way may be succesful? Thank you very much.
Hello @valorn76 , the key here is the KDK. You can perform the update and it will work fine, but before you do, manually download the 14.1 KDK! the problem comes in when the patcher does not have wifi and does not patch basic wifi first so the patcher can download and install the kdk AND install "modern wifi" to totally patch. What you can do is after the update to 14.1 and are back on the desktop DONT install the root patches just yet, install the 14.1 KDK first THEN install the root patches. After a reboot you should be good to go!
Thanks a lot @@Mr.Macintosh
14.1 runs faster on my machine than 14.0. Obvious with the animated wallpaper with now is smooth. Great to keep using my machine for a while longer. mid 2014 macpro. Boot into safe mode to complete install.
First of all I want say thank you to your contribution. I've being trying fix my Imac 2011 non metal with sonoma 14.1.1 and OCLP 1.2.1. I could save my data, but the black screen issue persist. Could you tell me which version of KDK that I need?
I reseted NVRAM and now I have black screen in the recovery mode. Can you help me?
After loading bar I still get stuck at a black screen. I can boot in safeboot
MacBook Pro Late 2012 failed with the 14.1 update, I literally follow every step on this video and was unable to fix it, I made a fresh Sonoma installation and back to normal.
Thanks for all the help Mr Macintosh, I'll be waiting for your updates! 🙂
And how did you get to install Sonoma 14.0 after installing 14.1? In my case the installation program wouldn't let me do that.
@johanfernandez9858 sorry you could not rescue it! BUT I'm glad you got back up and running with a fresh copy 👍
-You sir are the absolute best! Thank you so much for your time and effort by putting up this video and help those in need :)
For me, I installed the OLCP 1.1 first then updated my Mac to 14.1 via Apple's OTA update.
The update works fine on my end.
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro I haven’t tried to install 14.1 I can wait I am in no rush that MAC isn’t my main computer
Hi Mr. Macintosh, I'm wondering if the suggested fix would work if upgrade from Ventura to 14.1 failed? I used to run Ventura (installed using OCLP 0.6.4 April this year) on my late 2012 iMac 27" prior to the upgrade. I built a Sonoma 14.1 installer on USB using OCLP 1.1.0. The portion of installing from USB seemed to work but I'm not able to start my iMac when I try to boot from the hard drive. The progress bar either gets stuck at 1/3 or 1/10. I'm wondering the suggested approach only fixes upgrade from 14.0 to 14.1 or would work in my scenario as well. I appreciate your reply or any other suggestion you may have.
i must have gotten lucky, i downloaded the update, restarted, and the progress bar got stuck right as expected. So i held shift and was booting into safe mode where i kid you not, the 14.1 update continued to install as normal, then the system rebooted again this time fully booting and i just installed the root patches like normal. I don't know why my experience was more or less normal.
OH EDIT: i just noticed that when i rebooted the OCLP program itself was somehow broken and needed to be reinstalled.
Black screen 😬….. got it to work with the 2nd method (2015 MBP) it now asks every time it reboots if I want to update my 1.01 OCLP to 1.1 …. Assuming it’s “no” …. Or should I I let it update now???? Orrrr will I be in trouble again …. any thoughts???
Really appreciate you producing these videos so promptly. I just upgraded my Mac Mini to Sonoma and went with first version. Was waiting for your video before proceeding 🙂
Many thanks for what you do. 🙏
I have a Mid 2010 model (4gb RAM) Macbook pro 13". I have been using ubuntu on it for a few years, no problems, only the display was blinking during startup and shutdown time . After watching your tutorial, I installed Big Sur. working fine. .I would appreciate if you could give a tutorial on how to install Ubuntu on an external hard drive and run with this machine.
I updated my macbook pro mid 2010 when Mr Macintosh uploaded the first video about Sonoma 14.1. it completed the update but I can't used keyboard and mouse. So I connected USB 2.0 with windows keyboard and mouse then key in my password. Run the OCLP to patch. It working like new.
2012 Macbook Pro (16gb ram, 250gb SDD, 1TBHDD). Had the stuck in about 40% progress bar problem, my solution was to boot from an external flash drive with opencore legacy patcher, select the MacOS Sonoma installed partition and then it got me to the login screen. After login screen there was a delay and a message that the "gui has crashed" (or something like that), and options to send error info to apple. i selected the ignore option and after a little while it got me to the desktop. Reapplied root patches and in the next boot all was working normal again. Hope this is useful for somebody else.
Thank you for rescueing my iMac 15,1!
@hibananoe I'm glad that you were able to get your iMac up and going again!
