I have to say, between you and Mr. Mac, I give you guys a 10 out of 10 for knowledge and know-how. When a new ver of everything comes out I usually go ahead with the upgrade even if it trashes my system. I actually enjoy going through the repair procedure. My 2012 MBP is not my only MAC and I love keeping it "on the bleeding edge" 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I didn't upgrade to Sonoma, just to Catalina. After updating Open Core patcher and "rooting", my progress bar would get stuck at around 15%-20%. Your procedure worked flawlessly. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video, to add, I need to use 1 additional command to fix the issue: ------launch recovery------- mount -uw "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" bless --mount "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" --bootefi --last-sealed-snapshot cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions" && ls | grep -v "HighPoint*\|SoftRAID*" | xargs rm -rf reboot plug in a USB ethernet adapter, and run OCLP to install everything again. work like a charm.
First of all, I want to thank you. I'm hardly a tech guy but your videos have helped me massively with updating my old macs including my 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 cheesgrater and all has been working well until last week with the Mac Pro. I saw this video months ago and then had this problem happen after a PRAM reset last week and it's been driving me nuts. Here's what happened: The problem started after I was prompted to install OCLP update 1.4.3 (from 1.4.1). It wouldn't start up so I reset the PRAM. Then I got the “no entry sign” on my OCLP Monterey 12.7.3 drive (NVMe) so I switched out my RX580 for the mac 5770 graphics card [so I could use the option key] and I removed all hard drives and connections. I did all the steps in this video and all seemed to be going well until it restarted. The progress bar appeared for a second and then said 'your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up” and then it showed a progress bar but not moving. I shut it down after a few min, tried again and I got a gray screen with a flashing “?" (and shut itself off). Then I rebooted again holding option and selected EFI and I got the "your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up." error again. Holding Shfit would not let it boot into Safe Mode either. Sounds like a Mac kernel panic issue like you said here, but I cannot find the KDK version for Monterey on GitHub to do the manual install. Maybe the EFI is corrupted? Maybe it’s an NVMe issue and I should try the repair on the backup SSD in a sled on bay 1 (although everything was working perfectly with the NVMe on a sonnet pci-e card)? I use this computer for music production and was able to go back and use Mojave (NVMe on sonnet card) for now to transfer old sessions to my laptop but I really love using Monterey on the Mac Pro because it has been very fast and stable and I can use the latest plugins and programs. Any advice on what I should do to fix this? I’ll keep searching through your video library for an answer. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Hi, NVMe might be the issue, I recommend having a small SSD with Monterey for backup reasons… but for the future there’s no need to update OCLP when still running Monterey - the new versions are meant for Sonoma updates
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, thanks for the quick response. I took your advice and tried everything using the SSD this time, after doing the terminal I get the same results on restart, same "your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up" error and then Apple logo with progress bar that does nothing, just freezes. As far as the 1.4.3 update, it keeps popping up which is why I went ahead to do that update. Is there a way to turn off those notifications if I can get this running again? I'm not sure if I can get this to work since I cannot seem to get neither nvme or ssd to start up. I've been searching for answers online for days and if you're not sure, sadly, it might be time to get a new computer. Thanks again for all your videos and advice! 🙏🏼
@@loslobosjr did you try NVRAM reset 3x in a row? There is a setting to switch off the check for new version or simply don’t allow the background process
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, sorry for the late response, I was out of town and got back yesterday. Today I took out all the hard drives and peripherals on the pci-e slots. I installed the RX580 card and only the OCLP Monterey nvme on the sonnet pci-e card. I did a PRAM reset and let it go 3x this time (the other attempts I only did 2x) and it worked! Why does it work after 3x instead of 1x or 2x? I'll remember to do this again if I have the issue again. Thank you!
Hi, after upgrading from 12.6.2 to 12.7.5, I do have the same problem as you with my 5,1. Which KDK Version did you choose? On github I can only find versions back until MacOS 13. Thank you very much in advance for your reply!
FYI: rest in the comments: The OCLP 1.2.0 release a few days ago fixes this. this hack/trick is not needed any longer ;) The patcher now detects if you update your macOS via OTA update, and ask to download the correct KDK for your version
Thank you for this. I just upgraded to Sonoma on my 2102 MBP with no issues, from Ventura which was also unsupported. Nice to have this as a backup so I don't panic if it happens on subsequent upgraders. :)
Hi, you are really wonderful person indeed and you explained the all the procedure, installation procedure very in detail and I am very surprised. Its really wonderful and informative for me. Thank you very much. So nice of you.
8:13 I have multiple users on the iMac 5K 2017 and selectively boot from the Fusion drive for Sonoma 14.0 on EFI OCLP 1.0.1, or external T7 SSD for Sonoma 14.1. The Sonoma 14.1 on EFI OCLP 1.1.0 has not been stable after boot up, sometimes, it just stuck and t 8:13 he cursor didn’t move (with or without lightning cable), and/or the keyboard LED didn’t respond, a power button restart would be needed. A réinstallation of OCLP from the Installer or from the internal Fusion drive can solve the problem while burning my life for another half-an-hour. Eventually, it looks stabilised but every cold boot takes at least 15~20 minutes to successful logged-in to a user with admin rights. It’s so unstable and I’m not sure the imac will work after the next power off. So, I’ve decided to wait for OCLP 1.1.x or 1.2.x for Sonoma 14.1.x for other unsupported Macs.😅
Firstly, thanks for the video. These kind of videos explaining things are invaluable. My issue, the latest OCLP 1.3.0, made my previously working MacBook Air on Venture (OPLC 1.2.1) hang on the progress bar, never finishing to boot. I could get into it Mac again with booting from Ventura install, and opening terminal. If I delete the kexts in /Volume//Library/Extensions (apart from Raid and HighPoint ones), I can get it to boot without root patches. I then re-downloaded the OCLP 1.2.1, and re-applied the patches. Still hangs on boot progress bar. So then tried your KDK download for 13.3.1 and re-applied root patch. Still hangs on boot progress bar. (I have internet access via wifi even without root patch btw). I cannot boot safe mode (holding shift), hangs in same place. So it seems that 1.3.0 OCLP breaks something, which I am sure will impact many others quickly. Still working on fixing it myself somehow, but looks like you may need to prep another video soon!! Any tips welcome.
@@JessiesFlying add me to this list. late 2012 Macbook Air stuck on progress bar and apple logo. was attempting to update to 14.2.1 from 14.1 and its stuck Anyone fix it?
Great video again that helps to understand the whole background better...thanks for your time and awesome support, Jessie. Is there a simple way to check what's the latest KDKs on a machine?
You saved my day twice sir! Good details for the explanation and the logic flow is like the old days, no watering words and waste of time. Thank you and your work is much appreciated.
Hi, really good explanation, many thanks! Just one point to mention - when you were working in Terminal you called the quotation-mark “ a parenthesis, which is incorrect. A parenthesis is a curved bracket, like ( or ) .
Great video Thank You Jessie, I always wait on this updates due to this kind of things, thank you for being on top of the situation and helping everyone out.
To the guys that have problems installing the root patches with Open Legacy Core, you don't install the latest version of OpenLegacy Core if your model is not mentioned, because it causes stuck on boot. Follow the suggestion of Jessie when he talks about install KDK of your version. After that, install the previous version of OpenLegacy Core (the correct for me was 1.2.0), and root patch again. It will work again. We need to wait the next version of OpenLegacy Core when it will be compatible for our model. Then we can install the MacOs update. Hope it helps. Update: follow this Jessie's video ruclips.net/video/cLAX7zGAUig/видео.html that explain how to install Mac Os 14.2.1 using the correct KDK
yeps, same for me on an older macbook pro 15 inch: follow the instructions to revert back to the last snapshot, then reinstall the older legacy patcher (for me the 1.2.1), then patch the root and all is fine again.
Great video, thanks. I acted accordingly and it works. One remark about those Mac which do not have an ethernet connector. I used a USB-Ethernet adapter for my MBA13 2015 and everything went smoothly.
Wow, this works great on OCLP 1.4.3 that bricked my MacBook Pro and wouldn't log in afterward. Thank you for saving me a couple hours and reinstallation of osx :)
Hi, I recently upgraded to OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.2 on Sonoma 14.0. However, after rebooting, I see the Macintosh HD logo, but then the screen stays black without any further actions. Do you have any solutions or suggestions? I would greatly appreciate your help.
Hi Sir, i tried following your given steps for but after hitting space button and choosing Sonoma 14.4, the language selection not coming.. It going completely blank.. Please help.. Neighther wifi not usb is working.. There is no way i can update the KDK or open patcher.
I’ve spent this last week trying to recover my 2014 iMac 27 “ after latest Sonoma update. Screen went white lost WiFi and second monitor. Have not tried this fix yet but this video gives me hope.
Mac 2015 with Sonoma 14.2 Installing KDK 14.2 and 14.4 manually didn't work, even resetting NVRAM. I did my research and I noticed that while doing the root patch, is not fetching any KDK thats already installed. Actually, when you install a KDK it should be placed on Library/Developer/KDKs, but that folder is not even created on my Mac. It's worth to mention that have to boot on Safe mode. Any idea?
NOW I updated my iMac 27' end 2015 and MBP mid 2015 with the yesterday evening published OCLP 1.2.0 to Sonoma 14.1. After installation I was not able to login because the system was very, very slow. On both machines..I can't type in my password. This was possible after a switch off/on restart and installation of the OCLP root patches from OCLP 1.2.0. Now all is fine. Many thanks to all developers.
Now the update to Sonoma 14.1.1 just one day later. Using OCLP 1.2.0 with the same outcome as before. After restart and root patch installation my MBP mid 2015 all works fine as aspected. Not installed on my IMac end 2015 because this is my production system. Will wait for next instructions and not take the potential risk. Obviously OCLP 1.2.0 did not install root patches automatically. Maybe it’s a doddle but I’m not sure what else comes out… meanwhile got the iMac end 2015 his update as well. The only issue was that Norton 360 has to be re installed. Rest is flawless.
Hi Jessie: just found your channel! Great vids! So, if you maybe looking for video topics… I have a MacPro 3,1 running DosDude1 Catalina. I’m thinking to move to OpenCore and a newer OS. So one video of interest would be exploring just how old one can go with OpenCore. But another question and idea relates to getting many multi monitors working on an old MacPro. One of the reasons I bought this MacPro back in the day was the advertisement that it could host up to 8 monitors with the then decent ATI Radion cards that came with it. 4 cards, 2 DVI ports each 4 PCI slots, 8 monitors. My question is how to do that today with a new OS in these old MacPros. I have a GTX680 that has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port. In my DosDude1 Catalina 3,1 MacPro I have not been able to more than 1 DVI and 1 HDMI working. Nothing I do seems to bring either the 2nd DVI or the Display Port to life (even if I don’t connect the first DVI or HDMI). Maybe those two latter 2 ports are broken? I have no way to tell. Are the PCI slots limited to 2 monitors? Reason I ask is that one of the Apple approved Metal cards is a single width board with 4 ports (don’t recall which kind they are, maybe Display Port), but if the PCI slot only allows 2 monitors, that would not help. So bottom line, the idea for the video would be how to connect 8 monitors up to an old Mac Pro with a new OS using OpenCore. ;-). Thanks!
Hi, that’s a quite special topic and depends heavy on the graphic cards and the reimplementation of the old drivers into the macOS. Maybe ask on Discord if anyone has tested something like that already?
I would like thank you for this solutions and pointing the problem. I have 2013 iMac 27”, and two times updated with IOS Sonoma 14.3 after restart got the black screen with apple support text even wouldn’t go to recovery mode.lib was very disappointed because spent so much time to bring the iMac to iOS Ventura. Thank you so Much now I can try again and follow your instructions. Second comment: Finally after watching your videos I was able to install Sonoma 14.3 to my 2013 iMac 27” and learned why the installation was unsuccessful. Thanks to you, Mr. Macintosh and the OCL developers to keep our unsupported Mac a live and running.
The problem now is, upon installing root patches and restarting, it got stuck again and I had to repeat the whole procedure. 3 times now… Do I have to install the KDK for my system (Ventura 13.6.6)? The problem there is that the latest Ventura version is 13.6.5. Will that work for 13.6.6? Thank you!!!
I've gone through the entire procedure repeatedly for Sonoma 14.1.1, using various versions of OpenCore, yet nothing appears to succeed. I always end up getting stuck at the boot bar. Also I am on MacBook Pro 2016.
Check out my latest video, there is Sonoma 14.4 on MBP 2016 updated from Monterey macOS 14.4 tested on ALL UNSUPPORTED MACs with OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.4.1! ruclips.net/video/KwMCiZ3iQH8/видео.html
@JessiesFlying YOU ARE GREAT!!!! I followed mr macintosh tutorial 1..2..3..40 times but always failed. maybe it bothered him to do things DONE RIGHT like you did. thanks man!
Got the invite for upgrade to OCLP 1.2.0 this morning and went for it. Roulette style as no videos out yet about that new version of OLCP. Black screen after patching. Was running Sonoma 14.1 on midyear 2011 i mac before. Plugged in the ethernet cable, restarted and boom, no problem booting. All functions came back and could unplug the ethernet.
Hi Jessie, around 3:40 in your video, when you say keep the CTRL pressed on EFI boot and then what? you go to another screen but don't say what did you do after keeping the CTRL key pressed. When I press the ctrl key the icon changes to circle but when I lift my finger it changes back to an arrow. Can you please specify what exactly do I do while keep pressing the CTRL key. Thanks.
Crazy thing is that the very same thing happened to my fully supported MBP 16 M1 Pro…updated from 13.6.0 to 13.6.1 and boom!….bricked. You need another Mac (that I didn’t have) to revive the SMC and have the Recovery partition re-installed from another Mac with Apple Configurator open (Genius Bar stuff)….basically…wiping the old partition schema and re-initialising my Mac. Hence, you have more options on a Hackintosh and unsupported Macs rather than a fully supported Mac! That’s been too much even for an Apple fanboy like me: I’ve traded-in my Mac, got some good cash for future iPhone upgrades and now I’m finally out of this madness. Linux forever.
I gave up. A recent update had my main work laptop stuck for the weekend. I then tried recovering everything thru time machine. That didn't work. So I erased everything and stated fresh with ventura which is the latest OS my laptop supports. I did love Sonoma but I dont want to walk on eggshells on my work stations. I'll just use the last compatible Ones from now on and avoid the hellish three days of frustration I just went thru installing everything again that I need for work. If I was as knowledgeable as some of these dudes here on RUclips and was absolutely sure I could get myself out of every hiccup with every update I would definitely continue running unsupported. But this past weekend has just proved to me the importance of ONLY running unsupported Ones on machines that are NOT mission critical!!
I'm getting stuck at the mounting point. My drive is called Macintosh HD and I do the bless part but I still get nothing. I'm on a Macbook Pro 2011 17 inch. It booted once but now for some reason it's won't boot. I'm not sure I even ran the root patches in the first place. I'm using the 1.5.0 OpenCore Patcher.
thank you for the video! Question: for every update, it seems that a manual udpate and download of the corresponding KDK is a must. However which should be done first, download to one's computer the KDK or the apple software update? THANKS!
When you download the update the legacy player should download appropriate KDK automatically if needed. After every update another root patch is necessary and then the (maybe) needed KDK is already installed
My experience with an iMac 12.1 is that only a clean install (of Big Sur in my case ) works well with Open Core Patcher Post Install Root patches! But it won't Boot normally. Always starts with the Big Sur install....
Awesome as always JEssie. right now i am battling my mac pro 3.1 and sonoma 14 beta. and i have at least two problem children; I have both Asus GTX 1060 AND ATI Radeon HD 5770 installed in this mac. and its boots. but the GPU acceleration is bad as hell atm… I suspect the nvidia web drivers root patched ASWELL as Terascale drivers in the same operation (oclp 1.1.0. having anoither crack at it tomorrow

Hello, I’m experiencing some issues with my MacBook Pro (Early 2015, 13-inch) running Sonoma 14.3.1. Here’s what’s happening: I need to press Option + R to access the screen where I can view the EFI and SSD. To access the Sonoma Recovery, I have to press CTRL + Space. I follow the provided steps until I need to restart the system. Upon restarting, I press the Option key to view the icon. However, my MacBook only starts up to one-third of the way on the progress bar and then hangs. Unfortunately, these steps aren’t working for me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
hello jess, thanks in advance for all your videos ... it helps a lot!!!! I am stuck in 1/3 apple logo, I currently using a imac 14.1 (late 2013) everything was fine until I hit update to Sonoma .... after that I got stuck always.... then I was able to boot on safe mode and installed again Sonoma Version 14.5 23F79 and installed Kernel Debug Kit 14.5 build 23F79, always in safe mode and using OCLP version 1.1 ... I reboot and still 1/3...Apple Logo.... dont know what else to do !!!!! any hgelp will be appreciatted
Sadly didn’t work for me. Did everything like you said did the steps in the terminal - MacBook Air still gets stuck at around 40% in the progress bar during booting.
Hi again! Quick update I got in to the OS after looking at the dortania page it has two dashes on the Terminal command at this place “-bootefi” not one dash as on here, but it worked for your demo I have no idea why it made a difference for me!! So now I’m back in and just have the rest of your instructions to follow to hopefully get WiFi back👍 (Opencore version 1.4.2)

Great video, as always! However, I encountered an issue at 4:03 where I couldn't access the recovery screen. Instead, I was stuck on a black screen. I'm really debating whether or not to consider it for my primary work computer. For recreational use, it's alright. Or is it?

Hello Jessie, unfortunately i saw you video too late 😢. When i'm in de apple boot menu and press de control key. the icon changes, but after clicking on the efi logo the imac restarts and i do not get in the next menu as seen in your video. Any tips?
I just tried to solve my problem using the instructions from this video. It worked until the commands on terminal, but after that I'm still getting stuck on the Apple logo screen with the progress bar almost in the half
@@JessiesFlying, it doesn't work either. I tried to follow your instructions from one of your other videos talking about safe mode, but it didn't work either. I decided to install Catalina on my old Macbook Pro 2011 instead
A couple of times now my working patched system has a meltdown and shows a white background and/or runs really slowly. I tried to update/reapply patches to fix the graphics drivers (thinking that is the issue) but next reboot it hangs after the login screen (progress bar just whirls). I've resorted to wiping the hard drive and starting over from the usb installer. That works for a while and then gives up. Might there be some auto update that needs disabling?
Thanks for the video. Machine updated itself to Sonoma and was working OK but had no drivers. I dloaded the latest open patcher and loaded the drivers. It asked to update the local open patcher if I remember correctly and from here I reach your stuck screen. I followed your steps and after clicking recovery, screen just remains blank.

Hi. I'm using MBP 11,2, Mac OS 12.7 with Opencore. After updating the opencore, booting stops in 1/3 apple logo. Following your video, pressed spacebar and selected the recovery icon, only gives me a black screen. (After long wait, it boots again btw) My questions are: 1) I didn't tried NVRAM reset or safe mode. What should I do with them? I assume NVRAM reset -> safe mode -> terminal input just as the video? 2) (Maybe dumb question) I can see UEFI Shell icon when I press spacebar. Can I use those 2 line command here too? 3) What if all above won't work? Create OpenCore USB and recovery from it? Thanks in advance!
Can someone please explain to me whenever I reset the NVRAM or PRAM it removes all my KDK drivers etc... stuffs up the whole OS. Is this normal? Thanks
Mine freeze after the reboot with the status bar. I even can’t switch it off with on/off button holded for few seconds. Im on macbook pro 2015. My idea is to wait for the battery to die and try to boot after that. Any other solution?
4:22 A black screen appears because the Recovery 14.1.1 (with a golden system settings icon) doesn’t work from an external SSD on MacbookPro13,2 (Late 2016,13”). The internal SSD is running OCLP 1.2.1 & Sonoma 14.0. KDK 14.0, 14.1 and 14.1.1 were downloaded to the Download folder in both internal and external SSD, and KDK 14.1.1 was run before OCLP 1.2.1 was Build and Install OpenCore to install on a USB Sonoma Installer 14.1.1. The Sonoma 14.1.1 was downloaded from from OCLP 1.2.1. Internet connected via a Ethernet-USB-C adapter and Wi-Fi connected before choosing EFI (tried all 3: EFI Sonoma Installer 14.1.1, external SSD 14.1.1 and internal SSD 14.0). Tried Reset NVRAM. The same procedure works well on a Mac Mini 6,2. What’s the problem and how to overcome?
@@JessiesFlying Finally MBP13,2 can startup from internal SSD on macOS Sonoma 14.2 with OCLP 1.3.0. To make it happen, I needed to use Internet Recovery to reformat the Internal SSD choosing mac OS Extended (Journaled) because of no APFS, (but failed to reinstall macOS Sierra!), then install macOS Ventura from an Installer USB thumb drive with OCLP 1.3.0. (Now the SSD is formatted into APFS. After macOS Venture started up, install OCLP 1.3.0 to the internal SSD, then go to System Settings > General > Software Update to install macOS Sonoma 14.2, and then use Migration Assistant to transfer the user accounts from the external Startup SSD to the Internal SSD. No KDK was involved during the process. Touch Bar works perfect. Next step on plan: to rescue the external SSD, which fails to startup after failed to update macOS Sonoma to 14.2 from 14.1.2.
Is there a way to reinstall OCLP using Terminal that could prevent the system from freezing and ensure that it is recognized by the system for a proper startup?
Why would I suddenly lose my graphics acceleration again without changing anything ? I’m now stuck on the spinning wheel after entering my login password 😢
I downloaded a fresh copy of Sonoma 14.4.1 on an external hard drive and it shows up on efi boot but when I try to go into recovery mode I get a blank screen. I've reset nvram but no wifi still. Is there something I need to add to the external hard drive to get the recovery mode to show up ?
I have to say, between you and Mr. Mac, I give you guys a 10 out of 10 for knowledge and know-how. When a new ver of everything comes out I usually go ahead with the upgrade even if it trashes my system. I actually enjoy going through the repair procedure. My 2012 MBP is not my only MAC and I love keeping it "on the bleeding edge" 👍👍👍👍👍👍
🤣
Exactly; that’s part of the game, isn’t it?😜As long as the trashed system is not your daily driver…
@@JessiesFlying why can’t you just take kda from a supported Mac if you know we’re it is in the actual supported Mac
@@NicVandEmZ I don't understand that question...
We are the 5.1 kamekazes!
I didn't upgrade to Sonoma, just to Catalina. After updating Open Core patcher and "rooting", my progress bar would get stuck at around 15%-20%. Your procedure worked flawlessly. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video, to add, I need to use 1 additional command to fix the issue:
------launch recovery-------
mount -uw "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
bless --mount "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" --bootefi --last-sealed-snapshot
cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions" && ls | grep -v "HighPoint*\|SoftRAID*" | xargs rm -rf

plug in a USB ethernet adapter, and run OCLP to install everything again.
work like a charm.

charm for real👌
First of all, I want to thank you. I'm hardly a tech guy but your videos have helped me massively with updating my old macs including my 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 cheesgrater and all has been working well until last week with the Mac Pro. I saw this video months ago and then had this problem happen after a PRAM reset last week and it's been driving me nuts. Here's what happened:
The problem started after I was prompted to install OCLP update 1.4.3 (from 1.4.1). It wouldn't start up so I reset the PRAM. Then I got the “no entry sign” on my OCLP Monterey 12.7.3 drive (NVMe) so I switched out my RX580 for the mac 5770 graphics card [so I could use the option key] and I removed all hard drives and connections. I did all the steps in this video and all seemed to be going well until it restarted. The progress bar appeared for a second and then said 'your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up” and then it showed a progress bar but not moving. I shut it down after a few min, tried again and I got a gray screen with a flashing “?" (and shut itself off). Then I rebooted again holding option and selected EFI and I got the "your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up." error again. Holding Shfit would not let it boot into Safe Mode either. Sounds like a Mac kernel panic issue like you said here, but I cannot find the KDK version for Monterey on GitHub to do the manual install.
Maybe the EFI is corrupted? Maybe it’s an NVMe issue and I should try the repair on the backup SSD in a sled on bay 1 (although everything was working perfectly with the NVMe on a sonnet pci-e card)? I use this computer for music production and was able to go back and use Mojave (NVMe on sonnet card) for now to transfer old sessions to my laptop but I really love using Monterey on the Mac Pro because it has been very fast and stable and I can use the latest plugins and programs.
Any advice on what I should do to fix this? I’ll keep searching through your video library for an answer. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Hi, NVMe might be the issue, I recommend having a small SSD with Monterey for backup reasons… but for the future there’s no need to update OCLP when still running Monterey - the new versions are meant for Sonoma updates
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, thanks for the quick response. I took your advice and tried everything using the SSD this time, after doing the terminal I get the same results on restart, same "your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up" error and then Apple logo with progress bar that does nothing, just freezes. As far as the 1.4.3 update, it keeps popping up which is why I went ahead to do that update. Is there a way to turn off those notifications if I can get this running again? I'm not sure if I can get this to work since I cannot seem to get neither nvme or ssd to start up. I've been searching for answers online for days and if you're not sure, sadly, it might be time to get a new computer. Thanks again for all your videos and advice! 🙏🏼
@@loslobosjr did you try NVRAM reset 3x in a row? There is a setting to switch off the check for new version or simply don’t allow the background process
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, sorry for the late response, I was out of town and got back yesterday. Today I took out all the hard drives and peripherals on the pci-e slots. I installed the RX580 card and only the OCLP Monterey nvme on the sonnet pci-e card. I did a PRAM reset and let it go 3x this time (the other attempts I only did 2x) and it worked! Why does it work after 3x instead of 1x or 2x? I'll remember to do this again if I have the issue again. Thank you!

JESSIE FOR THE WINNNNNNNNNN. had this issue on my 5,1.. its fixed now thanks to this video😃
How did you get it fixed? I have update d a iMac 2013 to Ventura, and never boots up just stuck on the boot loader?
@@TheLondonguy so none of my tips of the last 2 videos help?
Hi, after upgrading from 12.6.2 to 12.7.5, I do have the same problem as you with my 5,1. Which KDK Version did you choose? On github I can only find versions back until MacOS 13. Thank you very much in advance for your reply!
FYI: rest in the comments: The OCLP 1.2.0 release a few days ago fixes this. this hack/trick is not needed any longer ;) The patcher now detects if you update your macOS via OTA update, and ask to download the correct KDK for your version
I know but I just had an issue where it still caused exactly this issue…
Thank you for this. I just upgraded to Sonoma on my 2102 MBP with no issues, from Ventura which was also unsupported. Nice to have this as a backup so I don't panic if it happens on subsequent upgraders. :)

Hi, you are really wonderful person indeed and you explained the all the procedure, installation procedure very in detail and I am very surprised. Its really wonderful and informative for me. Thank you very much. So nice of you.
😊
8:13 I have multiple users on the iMac 5K 2017 and selectively boot from the Fusion drive for Sonoma 14.0 on EFI OCLP 1.0.1, or external T7 SSD for Sonoma 14.1. The Sonoma 14.1 on EFI OCLP 1.1.0 has not been stable after boot up, sometimes, it just stuck and t 8:13 he cursor didn’t move (with or without lightning cable), and/or the keyboard LED didn’t respond, a power button restart would be needed. A réinstallation of OCLP from the Installer or from the internal Fusion drive can solve the problem while burning my life for another half-an-hour. Eventually, it looks stabilised but every cold boot takes at least 15~20 minutes to successful logged-in to a user with admin rights. It’s so unstable and I’m not sure the imac will work after the next power off. So, I’ve decided to wait for OCLP 1.1.x or 1.2.x for Sonoma 14.1.x for other unsupported Macs.😅
Firstly, thanks for the video. These kind of videos explaining things are invaluable.
My issue, the latest OCLP 1.3.0, made my previously working MacBook Air on Venture (OPLC 1.2.1) hang on the progress bar, never finishing to boot.
I could get into it Mac again with booting from Ventura install, and opening terminal.
If I delete the kexts in /Volume//Library/Extensions (apart from Raid and HighPoint ones), I can get it to boot without root patches.
I then re-downloaded the OCLP 1.2.1, and re-applied the patches. Still hangs on boot progress bar.
So then tried your KDK download for 13.3.1 and re-applied root patch. Still hangs on boot progress bar. (I have internet access via wifi even without root patch btw).
I cannot boot safe mode (holding shift), hangs in same place.
So it seems that 1.3.0 OCLP breaks something, which I am sure will impact many others quickly.
Still working on fixing it myself somehow, but looks like you may need to prep another video soon!!
Any tips welcome.
I'm struggling with the exact same issue on a 2013 iMac (14,1) running Ventura 13.6.1. Please reply with an update if you find a fix. Thanks!
I have the same problem on a MacBook Pro late 2012 Ventura 13.6.1. I can not get into recovery or use safe mode.
That’s weird, I didn’t experience any problems yet during testing. Did you just install OpenCore or also the root patch? Did you boot in between?

Great video Thank You Jessie, I always wait on this updates due to this kind of things, thank you for being on top of the situation and helping everyone out.
you're welcome!
To the guys that have problems installing the root patches with Open Legacy Core, you don't install the latest version of OpenLegacy Core if your model is not mentioned, because it causes stuck on boot. Follow the suggestion of Jessie when he talks about install KDK of your version. After that, install the previous version of OpenLegacy Core (the correct for me was 1.2.0), and root patch again. It will work again.
We need to wait the next version of OpenLegacy Core when it will be compatible for our model. Then we can install the MacOs update. Hope it helps.
Update: follow this Jessie's video ruclips.net/video/cLAX7zGAUig/видео.html that explain how to install Mac Os 14.2.1 using the correct KDK
Thx for explaining!
yeps, same for me on an older macbook pro 15 inch: follow the instructions to revert back to the last snapshot, then reinstall the older legacy patcher (for me the 1.2.1), then patch the root and all is fine again.
Damn, that's my case, I will try this solution!!
Thank you sooo much this helped a lot
Great video, thanks. I acted accordingly and it works. One remark about those Mac which do not have an ethernet connector. I used a USB-Ethernet adapter for my MBA13 2015 and everything went smoothly.
thx for the info!
Wow, this works great on OCLP 1.4.3 that bricked my MacBook Pro and wouldn't log in afterward. Thank you for saving me a couple hours and reinstallation of osx :)

Mac 2015 with Sonoma 14.2
Installing KDK 14.2 and 14.4 manually didn't work, even resetting NVRAM. I did my research and I noticed that while doing the root patch, is not fetching any KDK thats already installed. Actually, when you install a KDK it should be placed on Library/Developer/KDKs, but that folder is not even created on my Mac. It's worth to mention that have to boot on Safe mode. Any idea?
Only a few Macs require KDK, so maybe your Mac doesn’t?

NOW I updated my iMac 27' end 2015 and MBP mid 2015 with the yesterday evening published OCLP 1.2.0 to Sonoma 14.1. After installation I was not able to login because the system was very, very slow. On both machines..I can't type in my password. This was possible after a switch off/on restart and installation of the OCLP root patches from OCLP 1.2.0. Now all is fine. Many thanks to all developers.
👍
Now the update to Sonoma 14.1.1 just one day later. Using OCLP 1.2.0 with the same outcome as before. After restart and root patch installation my MBP mid 2015 all works fine as aspected. Not installed on my IMac end 2015 because this is my production system. Will wait for next instructions and not take the potential risk. Obviously OCLP 1.2.0 did not install root patches automatically. Maybe it’s a doddle but I’m not sure what else comes out…
meanwhile got the iMac end 2015 his update as well. The only issue was that Norton 360 has to be re installed. Rest is flawless.
Help me a lot! Thank you from Brazil
Hi Jessie: just found your channel! Great vids! So, if you maybe looking for video topics… I have a MacPro 3,1 running DosDude1 Catalina. I’m thinking to move to OpenCore and a newer OS. So one video of interest would be exploring just how old one can go with OpenCore. But another question and idea relates to getting many multi monitors working on an old MacPro. One of the reasons I bought this MacPro back in the day was the advertisement that it could host up to 8 monitors with the then decent ATI Radion cards that came with it. 4 cards, 2 DVI ports each 4 PCI slots, 8 monitors. My question is how to do that today with a new OS in these old MacPros. I have a GTX680 that has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port. In my DosDude1 Catalina 3,1 MacPro I have not been able to more than 1 DVI and 1 HDMI working. Nothing I do seems to bring either the 2nd DVI or the Display Port to life (even if I don’t connect the first DVI or HDMI). Maybe those two latter 2 ports are broken? I have no way to tell. Are the PCI slots limited to 2 monitors? Reason I ask is that one of the Apple approved Metal cards is a single width board with 4 ports (don’t recall which kind they are, maybe Display Port), but if the PCI slot only allows 2 monitors, that would not help. So bottom line, the idea for the video would be how to connect 8 monitors up to an old Mac Pro with a new OS using OpenCore. ;-). Thanks!
Hi, that’s a quite special topic and depends heavy on the graphic cards and the reimplementation of the old drivers into the macOS. Maybe ask on Discord if anyone has tested something like that already?
I would like thank you for this solutions and pointing the problem.
I have 2013 iMac 27”, and two times updated with IOS Sonoma 14.3 after restart got the black screen with apple support text even wouldn’t go to recovery mode.lib was very disappointed because spent so much time to bring the iMac to iOS Ventura.
Thank you so Much now I can try again and follow your instructions.
Second comment: Finally after watching your videos I was able to install Sonoma 14.3 to my 2013 iMac 27” and learned why the installation was unsuccessful. Thanks to you, Mr. Macintosh and the OCL developers to keep our unsupported Mac a live and running.
Could you explain how you did it? I cant get past the recovery, after choosing recovery, i get stuck on the apple logo
Thank you for making my macbook alive again!!!

This video just rescued me and my stuck Mac... Thanks!!!!!
The problem now is, upon installing root patches and restarting, it got stuck again and I had to repeat the whole procedure. 3 times now… Do I have to install the KDK for my system (Ventura 13.6.6)? The problem there is that the latest Ventura version is 13.6.5. Will that work for 13.6.6? Thank you!!!
I think I found a fix. This time I ran First Aid from Disk Utility before reinstalling the Root Patches. It now boots everytime…

Crazy thing is that the very same thing happened to my fully supported MBP 16 M1 Pro…updated from 13.6.0 to 13.6.1 and boom!….bricked. You need another Mac (that I didn’t have) to revive the SMC and have the Recovery partition re-installed from another Mac with Apple Configurator open (Genius Bar stuff)….basically…wiping the old partition schema and re-initialising my Mac. Hence, you have more options on a Hackintosh and unsupported Macs rather than a fully supported Mac! That’s been too much even for an Apple fanboy like me: I’ve traded-in my Mac, got some good cash for future iPhone upgrades and now I’m finally out of this madness. Linux forever.

Seems your recovery partition is broken… 😞 fresh install
I gave up. A recent update had my main work laptop stuck for the weekend. I then tried recovering everything thru time machine. That didn't work. So I erased everything and stated fresh with ventura which is the latest OS my laptop supports. I did love Sonoma but I dont want to walk on eggshells on my work stations. I'll just use the last compatible Ones from now on and avoid the hellish three days of frustration I just went thru installing everything again that I need for work. If I was as knowledgeable as some of these dudes here on RUclips and was absolutely sure I could get myself out of every hiccup with every update I would definitely continue running unsupported. But this past weekend has just proved to me the importance of ONLY running unsupported Ones on machines that are NOT mission critical!!

thank you for the video! Question: for every update, it seems that a manual udpate and download of the corresponding KDK is a must. However which should be done first, download to one's computer the KDK or the apple software update? THANKS!
When you download the update the legacy player should download appropriate KDK automatically if needed. After every update another root patch is necessary and then the (maybe) needed KDK is already installed
My experience with an iMac 12.1 is that only a clean install (of Big Sur in my case ) works well with Open Core Patcher Post Install Root patches! But it won't Boot normally. Always starts with the Big Sur install....
USB method (update or clean) installs root patches automatically...

13:50 I tried to use discord but failed to understand it. Jessie, can you give a video lecture so i can follow you there? Thank you 🙏 😅😅😅

Job well done and thank you
Hi. I'm using MBP 11,2, Mac OS 12.7 with Opencore. After updating the opencore, booting stops in 1/3 apple logo.
Following your video, pressed spacebar and selected the recovery icon, only gives me a black screen. (After long wait, it boots again btw) My questions are:
1) I didn't tried NVRAM reset or safe mode. What should I do with them? I assume NVRAM reset -> safe mode -> terminal input just as the video?
2) (Maybe dumb question) I can see UEFI Shell icon when I press spacebar. Can I use those 2 line command here too?
3) What if all above won't work? Create OpenCore USB and recovery from it?
Thanks in advance!
Try safe mode first (keep shift pressed while selecting macOS), NVRAM reset may help as well
Mines says I can’t use snapshot options with out bootefi and it couldn’t be blessed I’m a just restart my whole computer
Seems like the snapshot is corrupt… maybe need a fresh install
@JessiesFlying Great advice/video, as always. BTW: do you have a list of your Apple/Mac hardware collection?
iMac 2011, MacBook Pro 2012, MacPro 2012, MacPro 2013, MacBook Air 2013, iMac 2017, MacBook Pro 2018, MacBook Pro 2019 ;-)
@@JessiesFlying Nice, quite the zoo ;) And how many fighter jets in your garage? :)
@@bsdooby I would need a few MILLION subscribers for that... ;-)
Can someone please explain to me whenever I reset the NVRAM or PRAM it removes all my KDK drivers etc... stuffs up the whole OS. Is this normal? Thanks
@@alexrichards7684 no that shouldn’t happen… 😳
Mine freeze after the reboot with the status bar. I even can’t switch it off with on/off button holded for few seconds. Im on macbook pro 2015. My idea is to wait for the battery to die and try to boot after that. Any other solution?
If you keep the button pressed for at least 5 seconds it should shut itself down…. 🤔
4:22 A black screen appears because the Recovery 14.1.1 (with a golden system settings icon) doesn’t work from an external SSD on MacbookPro13,2 (Late 2016,13”). The internal SSD is running OCLP 1.2.1 & Sonoma 14.0. KDK 14.0, 14.1 and 14.1.1 were downloaded to the Download folder in both internal and external SSD, and KDK 14.1.1 was run before OCLP 1.2.1 was Build and Install OpenCore to install on a USB Sonoma Installer 14.1.1. The Sonoma 14.1.1 was downloaded from from OCLP 1.2.1. Internet connected via a Ethernet-USB-C adapter and Wi-Fi connected before choosing EFI (tried all 3: EFI Sonoma Installer 14.1.1, external SSD 14.1.1 and internal SSD 14.0). Tried Reset NVRAM. The same procedure works well on a Mac Mini 6,2. What’s the problem and how to overcome?

maybe try updating from a USB drive and not from an SSD as there might be some USB/TB drivers not being loaded during setup
@@JessiesFlying Finally MBP13,2 can startup from internal SSD on macOS Sonoma 14.2 with OCLP 1.3.0. To make it happen, I needed to use Internet Recovery to reformat the Internal SSD choosing mac OS Extended (Journaled) because of no APFS, (but failed to reinstall macOS Sierra!), then install macOS Ventura from an Installer USB thumb drive with OCLP 1.3.0. (Now the SSD is formatted into APFS. After macOS Venture started up, install OCLP 1.3.0 to the internal SSD, then go to System Settings > General > Software Update to install macOS Sonoma 14.2, and then use Migration Assistant to transfer the user accounts from the external Startup SSD to the Internal SSD. No KDK was involved during the process. Touch Bar works perfect. Next step on plan: to rescue the external SSD, which fails to startup after failed to update macOS Sonoma to 14.2 from 14.1.2.
@@ivanmytube thx for the info!
Is there a way to reinstall OCLP using Terminal that could prevent the system from freezing and ensure that it is recognized by the system for a proper startup?
Not that I know of as you need to install the root patches into the kernel and rebuild kernel cache afterwards….
Why would I suddenly lose my graphics acceleration again without changing anything ? I’m now stuck on the spinning wheel after entering my login password 😢
Did your Mac perform any automatic update maybe?
I downloaded a fresh copy of Sonoma 14.4.1 on an external hard drive and it shows up on efi boot but when I try to go into recovery mode I get a blank screen. I've reset nvram but no wifi still. Is there something I need to add to the external hard drive to get the recovery mode to show up ?
Is it a USB drive? There might been no USB drivers loaded during boot…
Desperately looking for help. I really am in over my head and I cannot get my computer to work following the OpenCore update
