I have a MacBook Pro 8,1 (late 2011) running Sonoma 14.6 with OCLP 1.5.0 with no issues. I did upgrade the MacBook Pro with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM and a SSD drive a few months ago. It works just fine - thanks to a lot of your recommendations and tips!
bro i have same one as you but i hav sound problem ,it shows no output speaker in settings and in windows there is sound i dont know why it is happening . please help me
Just updated my iMac Retina 5K 27inch late 2014 (32Gb memory on board) to Sonoma 14.6. Thanks to OCLP 1.5.0 and your reassuring video 👏. I first used your system to put Ventura onto this Mac and then Sonoma 14.5. This is a GREAT machine (and I have been using Macs since 1980) so I couldn't be happier! Thank you Mr Macintosh!
I completed updated on my fleet. I performed each update the same way. Turned the Mac on, if they needed to, OCLP 1.5.0 installed itself. Then I ran the update from the system preferences. After the update, OCLP then was allowed to perform the post install patching. If the install went well, the notation is ILB - Installed Like Butter. All Macs have SSD's and have been cleaned with new thermal paste installed. All Macs have maximum memory installed. 2007 20" iMac - updated processor and wifi. - ILB. The install triggered the automatic download of the KDK's. 2009 13" White Polycarbonate MacBook - The install triggered the automatic download of the KDK's. The install of the post-install patches failed at first, but after restarting it, it went well. I am typing this comment on this machine. 2010 13" White Polycarbonate MacBook - ILB. This machine paused with a dark screen for a while, I left it alone and it eventually installed perfectly. 2010 21.6" iMac - updated processor, GPU (metal), wifi - ILB 2011 21.6" iMac - updated processor, GPU (metal), wifi - The same pause as with the 2010 MacBook above, but I restarted it. The second round of updating this went well - ILB. 2012 13" MacBook Pro i5 - ILB 2012 13" MacBook Pro i7 - updated wifi - ILB 2012 21.5" iMac updated processor, wifi - ILB 2012 Mac mini i7 - ILB 2017 27" iMac updated processor - ILB I still have to update two 2015 iMacs but they are currently under use. As for format, I like it. I like the order you produced the videos - macOS first, OCLP second. Just be sure to mention if we should wait for the second video before installing in case there are issues.
Successful upgrade on MBP 11,1 (Mid 2014, 16Gb RAM, SSD) from Ventura to Sonoma 14.6 using Software Update via System Settings method and OCLP 1.5.0. No issues so far. Performance seems better than Ventura and slightly improved Geekbench scores. Thanks again for your hard work helping to guide us through these updates!!
Running MBP Retina, 11,1. 13-inch, Late 2013, 2.8 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Intel Iris 1536 MB, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Mac SSD 500GB original! without a problem at 6 hours. Upgrade from 14.5 to 14.6, took over 2 hours to install from scratch. ( showed 35 minutes to go for about an hour). OCLP 1.5.0. post install menu was very quick, under a minute. Thanks so much for this extended life of my machine.
Hello, may i have your advice on how you did the update successfully- via system preference directly or building an usb drive with sonoma 14.6 installer and then upgrading your Mac by option-boot ? I got my MacBook Pro (mid-2014 13” in 14.5) stuck in the middle of the apple logo screen when updating (successfully downloaded via system preference and reboot then). Does it require “super long time” to complete this update as you mentioned it took you 2 hrs to install from scratch. Your feedback will be much appreciated and helpful. Thanks in advance.
The new format is great, thanks Mr Macintosh! Shortly after making a clean install of Sonoma 14.5 on my M1 MacBook Pro, it had a kernel panic for the very first time since I’ve owned it. Apple has made a real mess of Sonoma, so I’m not risking it with my baseline 2013 13-inch MacBook Pro, spank them very much! I’m saying on Ventura on that one.
MBP 10,2 (2012) w/ OCLP 1.5.0 here. Install took a couple hours. It was extremely slow after the final boot -- too slow to even log in. After a forced power off and restart, it came up just fine. After repatching all works as smoothly as before.
Hi Mr Macintosh great video. I am running a 13 inch 2017 MacBook pro. I had used a previous video to get Senoma 14.5 installed. As I am very new to the OpenCore patching process a suggestion for us newbies is to show the process of installing the 14.6 update and then the root patching process update for one device just so we have that conform what the process is. I know it is very basic now after doing it but it would have given me a little more comfort doing it. Please keep up your great work in this area I would not have attempted this with out your great videos.
I have a 2010 Mac Pro, 3.3 GHz, 6-core, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, 32 GB memory. I use a USB 3.0 card.I run 3-27” monitors. I run my System and Apps on a 500G Samsung NVMe and my User folder on a 4T Samsung NVMe. I have 3- 4T Seagate drives in the bays for backups. This thing is a workhorse and I’ll keep it. It just loaded Sonoma 14.6 flawlessly.
Just updated my Late 2013 27" iMac. I already had the latest version of OCLP, so all I needed to do was apply Sonoma 14.6 and reapply OCLP patches after the update. Worked flawlessly. I did have the expected issue with NVIDIA (NVIDIA GeForce GTX) after installing Sonoma 14.6, but the OCLP patches continue to resolve the issue. Thanks Mr Macintosh!
Upgrade took about :50 minutes on my supported MacMini 8,1 (2018-2019) with no problems. Took about 1 hour on my MacPro 6,1 (2013-2019) trash cans. As with the last upgrades, the keyboard was extremely sluggish, and mouse was very unresponsive after the upgrade completed. A hard re-boot fixed that problem. The post install root-patches fixed the rest. The extra 10-minutes for the unsupported MacPro's was all for the extra boots and post-root patching. After that, everything has been working fine for the last two days. Thanks for the vid's r. Macintosh!
I have already OCLP 1.5 and Sonoma 14.5 installed recently. To "upgrade" only Sonoma from 14.5 to 14.6, are there any differences, if "Upgrading" just from "Settings->General->Software Update", which should be supported with OCLP 1.5? Will this download and run the Full Installer? Or do I need to do the upgrade with the OCLP "Build and Install OpenCore" menu item, to download the "Full Installer" and run the downloaded installer then from the "Application" folder, to do the "upgrade"? Or do I need to create a new USB media with OCLP 1.5 and with Sonoma 14.6 and "upgrade" the internal SSD then from there? You only show the process starting to install it on the USB media and then to the internal SSD, but is that always needed?
Thanks for your hard work and dedication for this macOS community. Please make a new video tutorial with a clean, full installation of the latest macOS Sonoma version 14.6.1 on an unsupported Mac via a bootable USB. I have tried multiple times recently to clean install our Mac mini 6,2 or late 2012 without success on 14.6.1. I have done multiple installs of various unsupported Macs with success but for some reason I keep getting an error for the 14.6.1 version and am unable to have a successful installation. Please help. Is the OCLP download link for new software corrupted causing this? Thanks!
Just upgraded my MacBook 10,1. No issues with the upgrade and so far stable while running. THANK YOU Mr. Macintosh for all you work and the great OCLP devs
Updated an MB 2010 white polycarbon like a charm ;) first start it came up with an white screen but after post patch and using a usb 1.1 hub I was able to start and use this machine as usual. Thx for this well described video. Btw... some pitying but also many fascinating looks I get with this device in cafés make me look like a cool youngtimer driver ✌🏼😁
Excellent and informative video my man! Between you and Jessie's Flying I have learned sooo much about Mac's as I have only been a mac user for about three years and I have one question for you ... Before I proceed with the update, can you please push me in the right direction and give me a little guidance por favor on how to use time machine and back up my macos 14.4 properly so if something happens, I have a backup handy that I can restore and not have to start over from the beginning and avoid a kernal panic and lose my data accumulated since feb with sonoma. When I moved from monterey to sonoma on my mid 2010 mac pro 5,1 and backed up with time machine, then used migration assistant .. I ran head first into a massive brick wall and spent three days moving data and programs manually which was thoroughly exhausting. I will look out for your response to my comment and maybe we could have a little chat if that is possible. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge helping me to one day become a master mac user. GO TEAM DORTANIA!!!
MacBook Pro Retina 2012 10,2 (wifi 2013 AC) with OCLP 1.5.0, apple update from 14.5 to 14.6, no worries, everything works perfectly. Unlocking with Apple Watch included.
Early MBP 2013, no problem! Love the new format. Under 30 min I see no problem always showing how to update OCLP. At least include a link directly to a video where the update to the latest version is shown. For any users watching the latest video who have not updated before
Using MacBookPro11,1 (Mid 2014) 13 inch 8GB ram. After various issues with Sonoma I reinstalled Ventura. Sonoma had issues with my keyboard like inserting radom spaces when typing numbers; and, closing apps whenever. Yes Ventura also has these annoyances although not as often as Sonoma. I also have an iMac 14,2 (Late 2013) 27 inch 16GB ram. The iMac runs Ventura but Opencore had an issue with Not installing the EFI on the boot drive. I'll try that installation again.
I must admit that I prefer your updates to be in one video. I run old and new Apple hardware so the one video covers everything I need. But that’s my preference 🤣
I’d like to point out a few things. The Arc browser does install on the patched system, but it doesn’t function properly-frequent tab crashes and high CPU & GPU usage cause the fans to run at full blast. Additionally, the ChatGPT app for macOS won’t install on the patched system, displaying a message that the hardware is not supported. For reference, I’ve installed Sonoma 14.6.1 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014).
mid-2010 13" macbook pro: installed MacOS Sonoma 14.5 using directions give by Mr. Macintosh in this video. Then upgraded from MacOS Sonoma 14.5 to MacOS Sonoma 14.6 starting from system settings. Takes a v e e r r y y long time and is completely successful and is mostly hands aside from responding to prompts BUT login and installing too patches requires USB 2 hub and USB keyboard and mouse. Also, upgraded 15" early 2011 macbook pro running MacOS Ventura 13.6 to MacOS Sonoma 14.6 from system settings - much quicker than the above 13" macbook pro and able to login without the USB keyboard and mouse.
i updated my macbook air 2015 to macos sonoma 14.6 and it was way slower then i expected it to be i did a clean install with root patches i am just gonna run 14.4 as its the one i think will run the best
I don't get it, I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 that i installed 14.5 with OCLP and now when I go to software update to get 14.6.1, the installation timer stays stuck at 35mins, even though utility manger says it is installing... but after about 35 mins the Mac just freezes up and I have to hard reboot it... I am stumped
Updated my Mac Pro 6,1 from Monterey to Sonoma last night, only problem I had during the update was installing OCLP to the internal SSD. It was formatted as APFS to get Monterey installed a couple of days before and I decided to try out Sonoma before I got too much stuff on it. Needed to make a new FAT32 partition before I could ditch the USB stick for booting. Only issue I'vecom across since the upgrade is in Apple TV, I only have a few TV series purchased from Apple when I had an iPad. If I click on the stack of episodes it causes Apple TV to quit, clicking on play seems to work though.
I have a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, early 2011 Model ID: MacBook Pro 8,1 and currently I have Version 10.13.6 installed on it. I have been told by at least 4 different places that service computers that the OS can not be upgraded. From the different videos I have found and downloaded from UA-cam I am being led to believe that there is a chance I can upgrade over and above OS 10.15 Catalina. I have already upgraded the ram from 8 gb to 16. I do have a 256 gb ssd that I want to use to replace the 500 gb hdd. From the comments below, it sounds like I can have the OS upgraded from High Sierra to Sonoma. I understand OS Sequioa is coming out during the fall of 2024. Maybe I should wait.
Brilliant work as always. Keeps these working machines out of the skip. Is there a bug with the battery indicator? I've noticed that my laptop was fine with Ventura and OCLP - the battery status can be displayed in the menu bar. Turn it on in Sonoma and it makes no difference (Macbook Pro 2015)?
Hmm, mine just doesn't update, OCLP 1.5.0 with a 2015 15" dual graphics. It goes through the motions of upgrading but after restarting it's still on 14.5 with the .6 update waiting.
I couldn't get my Macbook 8.1 to start without a USB, ran the "Build and Install OpenCore" about 20 times over 4 days. Then randomly worked when I was about to give up.
I truly love this application and only have one gripe that I hope is addressed in a future release. The preference to disable the bootloader visibility on startup needs to be disabled every time I push the new installer. Please make this a user stored preference. Thanks.
I have encountered an issue consistently where downloading the installer to USB is not seen by the computer. I have had success by running the installer directly from the macOS desktop after downloading via the opencore patcher. Once I have the EFI patched it just seems to install like normal macOS, and I don’t even need the USB. All I have to do is run root patches after install. I tested this area from high Sierra all the way up to Sonoma. It Installs the same every time. I also need to point out that OCLP 1.5.0 broke my previous MacOS install of Ventura so completely that I had to wipe it and start over. Something happened and it nuked all my boot files. I would like to request the ability to opt out of notifications regarding updates instead of it popping up every time I start my Mac or open OCLP.
Can I recommend doing a test run on a Macbook Air model (preferably early 2015+). I haven't seen any tests for MB Air models anywhere. I am currently running 14.5 and OCLP 1.5 and it performs okay but it definitely has some Safari, and overall system related* bugs where the only solution is to reboot the machine.
У меня iMac 21,5 Late 2013 (iMac 14.3). При помощи OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.5.0 установил MacOS Ventura, всё работает, нареканий особых нет. Попробовал установить Sonoma, система нормально установилась, всё вроде работает, но никак не смог установить Logi Options+, из-за чего я не могу полностью использовать свою мышь MX Master3, так что пришлось вернуться на Ventura. На Ventura программа Logi Options+ устанавливается без проблем, а на Sonoma не получается никак дать права программе на доступ к различным функция. Хотя на моем Mac Book Air M3 2024 года с установленной производителем Sonoma, эта программа стала без проблем. Видимо чего то при установке Sonoma через OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.5.0 системе не хватает, так как на Ventura этой проблеммы нет.
i have Macbook Pro 2011 (8,1) which has windows and macos sonoma 14.5 but no sound there is only cross on the sound and there is no output speaker showing but internal mic is available please help......
Thanks a lot Mister .It was a very informative video indeed .For me I got a core 2 duo 2009 macbook running sonoma and I think I won't upgrade till maybe in the future days .I think my poor macbook is getting too old to handle this update. I'm seriously thinking about downgrading to Ventura. I use my macbook mainly for music production I use the latest Logic pro X. I will thenprobably wait a little more and see . Again thanks a lot .
MBP 13 2011, MBP 13 2013 iMac 21.5 2012, con ssd y 8 gb de ram todas, las he trabajado con Windows 11 y macos 14.5; con el único equipo que tiene detalle es MBP 13 2011 es el audio en Windows 10 y 11, pero lo he resuelto reinstalando los controladores desde macOS con open core legacy, espero te sirva
I am working on non supported MacBook Pros. Trying to get them to the best iOS that Apple supports. This Saturday me and my daughter are going to work on her Mid 2014 MacBook Pro Retina, 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB. Do you think we will have any problems getting Sonoma 14.6 installed with the use of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.5.0 or newer? To be honest I am not a computer expert and very limited knowledge on Apple products. But I am a person that likes to try.
Does XProtect security work on an open core legacy patcher 1.5.0 (I am using a 2015 MacBook Pro with Sonoma 14.6)? I can't see it on my security full disk access files.
Hello, thanks to you, I can install new versions on the old macbook, while getting help from the appel service, sometimes they say when there is no sound, how did you install it, I don't say anything, but when does the macos sequoai installation video come and which old macbooks can we install it on?
Updated my iMac late 2012 (13,1) with Sonoma 14.6 and OCLP 1.5.0 and now have issues with the Ethernet cable connection working. Under networking in the control panel, Ethernet shows "not connected." The connection on the router no longer shows a link light. I have replaced the cable and did a complete clean reinstall of Sonoma 14.6 with the same results. The WiFi connection functions normally. Curious if other users that connect with an Ethernet cable have experienced any issues? I also just tried to see if the 14.6.1 update made a difference and it did not.
I updated 2011 iMac 27’ to 14.6.1 and now my iTunes (Music ) will not open ans it closes so I not able to play songs and strangely the computer does not recognize my USB eternal disk ( Fat 32 Format) which worked in the past. 😮 Can you help me fix this? Thank you in advance
I was able to successfully install Sonoma like this on an old iMac 21inch from 2015 - but for some reason Airplay is not available in the system settings? 🤔 Is there something I missed during the install?
Oh no. I successfully updated my late 2012 Mac mini a couple of weeks ago to Sonoma 15.4 (note that I was unsuccessful for two days until I plugged the flash drive directly into the mini and NOT the USB hub I've used for years.) After having problems with MS Word today (I got a gray box instead of being able to highlight), I sadly hit the update button in the settings to update to Sonoma 16.1. I'm stuck. I tried reusing the old USB drive I used before, but I can't get the old girl to boot. None of the options in safe more give me more than a quarter bar of progress. Any thoughts?
Step One: Back up. Step Two: back up again - separate drive. Step Three: Follow Mr. Macintosh's instructions Thank Mr. Macintosh. Can't wait to vote for your presidency....
Is there an actual link to the Sonoma version? I stuck the patcher on the HD and looked like I didn't have to update at all let alone needed any roots for the iMac 18,1.
Hi, I just upgraded to Sonoma 14.6 with a late 2008 aluminium MacBook (5,1). It all worked fine but at the end I lost all touchpad/keyboard functionality, and I see the open core pop up to update the post install root patches but I have no possibility to action the enter key... Unlike when I first moved to 14.3 and I had a similar situation I was able to use USB2.0 extensions and a wireless keyboard but this time there is no way... how do I solve this? I can see all is well installed but I just need to find a way to install the post install root patches...?
Music App crashes when trying to view play my music videos 14.5 OK, 14.6 Music App crashes only when trying to view the Music Video Playlist. This on on my MacPro5,1 (Mid 2010) with RX580 Graphics card and 128 GB of RAM.
I have a MBpro late 2016, and recently purchased a Blackmagic eGPU Pro Vega 56 with 8GB RAM... If I install the post install drivers, it kills the eGPU support. As I tested first, Installed a Monterey to an external SSD, and then I upgraded to Sonoma. It still handles the eGPU. But if I install the post install drivers with OCLP then the eGPU hub completely dissapeares. Can you pls help how to solve this?
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro with OCLP 1.5.0. I upgraded from Monterey to 14.6.1. That by itself went fine. Then when I ran OCLP Root Patching I got a lot of errors about kexts that could not be installed but it finished anyway. I rebooted but after logging in I had no WiFi and OCLP once again popped up to do root patching. When I did that I noticed rebuilding the kernel cache failed as it was unable to resolve some dependencies. I did not get any errors on WiFi/wireless. How do I tackle this? I saw some remarks on installing WiFi drivers but still am not sure what to do?
Mac Mini Late 2012, "An error occurred preparing the software update" triggered about 15 minutes to go in the install process booting and installing from the USB. Updating from 14.5 to 14.6 - It's completely munged now. Update: As usual, user error. I went for a clean install and wiped the SSD but absent mindedly formatted it as APFS not macOS Journaled. GRRR! Wasted a whole day screwing with it. But all working now with a nice clean install.
Could that be the issue with the internal date needing changed? I recall seeing this issue on a forum with the solution, but I can't find it at the moment which required fixing the date via the terminal in safe boot mode just for the install, then setting it to the actual date, once the system is installed successfully.
Ola, tudo bem, obrigado pelo conteúdo, atualizei meu MacBook Pro 13,3 i7 2016, do Monterey para o Sonoma , tudo funcionando bem, o único problema é que a câmera não está funcionando . da essa mensagem ao abrir o FaceTime ``O FaceTime não recebeu nenhum vídeo da câmera conectada. Este problema talvez possa ser resolvido reiniciando o computador.O FaceTime não recebeu nenhum vídeo da câmera conectada. Este problema talvez possa ser resolvido reiniciando o computador.``. poderia me ajudar ?
"The Volume is not compatible with this update" error going from Ventura to Sonoma 14.6 on Late 2012 iMac using Software Update via System Settings method and OCLP 1.5.0. Starts the download then gives the error. Confirmed it is APFS formatted NON-fusion drive. Anyone else with this problem? Will try Boot Installer method next. Was able to update Ventura to the latest 13.6.8 without problems.
I NEED HELP. I UPDATE TO MONTERY LAST NIGHT NOW I BEING HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH MY MAC.... SECONDLY I KEEP GETTING NOTIFIED TO UPDATE TO SONOMA BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO IT HOW DO I GET IT FROM STOP SHOWING. USING 2012 MACBOOK PRO WITH OPEN CORE
2012 Macbook Pro... Trying, several times, to install Sonoma 14.6 with a bootable jump drive, with the latest OCPL patches, it keeps getting stuck at: "Unable to install update"... Any help will be appreciated...
iMac 13,2, GTX680MX, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD with Sonoma 14.5 already installed, OCLP 1.5. I installed 14.6 using OCLP 1.5.0, everythins went smooth and took around 30-40 mins. Computer runs perfectly after update.
I have a 2016 imac updated to sonoma running open core, did sonoma update bam not working no more. It was perfect before, no more basically bricked. Wifi and ethernet don’t work, freezes or won’t boot up. Any help? 😢
Please advise if I can safely update my iMac 27-inch (Mid 2011) I7, 16GB Ram, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB running Ventura 13.6.8 and OCLP 1.5.0 to Sonoma 14.6.
Running a iMAC 27" 2013 with SSD 16GB of memory - running Sonoma 14.5 all ok. After watching your latest video saying safe to update to 14.6 ran the update. (I do have OCLP 1.5.0 installed on the system) Ran okay after about 50 mins, rebooted into the login screen but, every 10 seconds the screen refreshes and the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. Rebooted but still recycling the login screen. Can you help?
Hello Mr. Macintosh I’m having a problem with my Mac. I’m stuck in the macOS utilities.This is where my problem is “the disk is locked “I need help I can’t get in my macOS X Lion
Updated OCLP to 1.5.0 with macOS 14.3 previously installed; everything worked just fine. After upgrading to macOS 14.6 my 2013 iMac27 will not complete an EFI boot; hangs around 35% and the screen goes black. I am able to reboot in Safe Mode but have been unable to overcome this problem. Root Patching reports "internal error occurred" and apparently will not patch my Nvidia Kepler and Intel Haswell graphics files. Any suggestions to help me resolve this would be most appreciated! Update: I have been able to resolve this problem by deleting a problematic kernel in the '/Library/Extensions/WavTap.kext/Contents directory then installing the OCLP Root Patches that previously would not update. Bingo - everything now works as it should. Hope this helps anyone else who may encounter this issue.
Hi! I’ve got mid 2011, 21.5 iMac with wx4150 gpu. After instal i’ve got no acceleration, after root patches i’ve got a black screen. KDK is correct and installed via ethernet. In last section You mentioned that wifi must be installed before a root patch. Is wifi not installed could cause problems with root patch? I will be gratefull for any help. Thank You.

Mid 2012 MBP running 14.6 and OCLP 1.5.0 perfectly so far.
Just updated my iMac Retina 5K 27inch late 2014 (32Gb memory on board) to Sonoma 14.6. Thanks to OCLP 1.5.0 and your reassuring video 👏. I first used your system to put Ventura onto this Mac and then Sonoma 14.5. This is a GREAT machine (and I have been using Macs since 1980) so I couldn't be happier! Thank you Mr Macintosh!
I completed updated on my fleet. I performed each update the same way. Turned the Mac on, if they needed to, OCLP 1.5.0 installed itself. Then I ran the update from the system preferences. After the update, OCLP then was allowed to perform the post install patching. If the install went well, the notation is ILB - Installed Like Butter. All Macs have SSD's and have been cleaned with new thermal paste installed. All Macs have maximum memory installed.
2007 20" iMac - updated processor and wifi. - ILB. The install triggered the automatic download of the KDK's.
2009 13" White Polycarbonate MacBook - The install triggered the automatic download of the KDK's. The install of the post-install patches failed at first, but after restarting it, it went well. I am typing this comment on this machine.
2010 13" White Polycarbonate MacBook - ILB. This machine paused with a dark screen for a while, I left it alone and it eventually installed perfectly.
2010 21.6" iMac - updated processor, GPU (metal), wifi - ILB
2011 21.6" iMac - updated processor, GPU (metal), wifi - The same pause as with the 2010 MacBook above, but I restarted it. The second round of updating this went well - ILB.
2012 13" MacBook Pro i5 - ILB
2012 13" MacBook Pro i7 - updated wifi - ILB
2012 21.5" iMac updated processor, wifi - ILB
2012 Mac mini i7 - ILB
2017 27" iMac updated processor - ILB
I still have to update two 2015 iMacs but they are currently under use.
As for format, I like it. I like the order you produced the videos - macOS first, OCLP second. Just be sure to mention if we should wait for the second video before installing in case there are issues.
BTW. This is my go to channel for Apple updates. So comprehensive and informative. Thankyou 👌
Successful upgrade on MBP 11,1 (Mid 2014, 16Gb RAM, SSD) from Ventura to Sonoma 14.6 using Software Update via System Settings method and OCLP 1.5.0. No issues so far. Performance seems better than Ventura and slightly improved Geekbench scores. Thanks again for your hard work helping to guide us through these updates!!
Running MBP Retina, 11,1. 13-inch, Late 2013, 2.8 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Intel Iris 1536 MB, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Mac SSD 500GB original! without a problem at 6 hours. Upgrade from 14.5 to 14.6, took over 2 hours to install from scratch. ( showed 35 minutes to go for about an hour). OCLP 1.5.0. post install menu was very quick, under a minute. Thanks so much for this extended life of my machine.
how to u update 14.5 to 14.6. you use system setting?
Hello, may i have your advice on how you did the update successfully- via system preference directly or building an usb drive with sonoma 14.6 installer and then upgrading your Mac by option-boot ? I got my MacBook Pro (mid-2014 13” in 14.5) stuck in the middle of the apple logo screen when updating (successfully downloaded via system preference and reboot then). Does it require “super long time” to complete this update as you mentioned it took you 2 hrs to install from scratch. Your feedback will be much appreciated and helpful. Thanks in advance.
hot damn bro those are some chapter notes, well done!
The new format is great, thanks Mr Macintosh! Shortly after making a clean install of Sonoma 14.5 on my M1 MacBook Pro, it had a kernel panic for the very first time since I’ve owned it. Apple has made a real mess of Sonoma, so I’m not risking it with my baseline 2013 13-inch MacBook Pro, spank them very much! I’m saying on Ventura on that one.
MBP 10,2 (2012) w/ OCLP 1.5.0 here. Install took a couple hours. It was extremely slow after the final boot -- too slow to even log in. After a forced power off and restart, it came up just fine. After repatching all works as smoothly as before.
2012 Macbook Pro 15' NO issues!! Thanks Mr. Macintosh! You are THE MAN!! A living Legend!
Hi Mr Macintosh great video. I am running a 13 inch 2017 MacBook pro. I had used a previous video to get Senoma 14.5 installed. As I am very new to the OpenCore patching process a suggestion for us newbies is to show the process of installing the 14.6 update and then the root patching process update for one device just so we have that conform what the process is. I know it is very basic now after doing it but it would have given me a little more comfort doing it. Please keep up your great work in this area I would not have attempted this with out your great videos.
Mid 2012 13" MBP 9.2. Smooth upgrade process with no stalls or hangs and working just fine. Thank you.
I have a 2010 Mac Pro, 3.3 GHz, 6-core, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, 32 GB memory. I use a USB 3.0 card.I run 3-27” monitors. I run my System and Apps on a 500G Samsung NVMe and my User folder on a 4T Samsung NVMe. I have 3- 4T Seagate drives in the bays for backups. This thing is a workhorse and I’ll keep it. It just loaded Sonoma 14.6 flawlessly.
Just updated my Late 2013 27" iMac. I already had the latest version of OCLP, so all I needed to do was apply Sonoma 14.6 and reapply OCLP patches after the update. Worked flawlessly. I did have the expected issue with NVIDIA (NVIDIA GeForce GTX) after installing Sonoma 14.6, but the OCLP patches continue to resolve the issue. Thanks Mr Macintosh!
I like how you are splitting the videos between supported and unsupported Macs. Thanks!
Just update to Sonoma 14.6 with OCLP 1.5.0 to my iMac 27 inch Late 2013 32g and 2Tb with no probs. Thank u very much Mr Mac!
Again, no update without your recommendation. Flawlessly on my 2015 MBP and IMac. Many thanks for your tremendous support!
Hiya. Does your 2015 iMac have a fusion drive. I'm trying to get some definitive answers about installing OCLP and Sonoma on a Fusiondrive...
Upgrade took about :50 minutes on my supported MacMini 8,1 (2018-2019) with no problems. Took about 1 hour on my MacPro 6,1 (2013-2019) trash cans. As with the last upgrades, the keyboard was extremely sluggish, and mouse was very unresponsive after the upgrade completed. A hard re-boot fixed that problem. The post install root-patches fixed the rest. The extra 10-minutes for the unsupported MacPro's was all for the extra boots and post-root patching. After that, everything has been working fine for the last two days. Thanks for the vid's r. Macintosh!
as always thank you so much for your guide, tutorial and videos for all of us 🙏
amazing work as always!!!! Im running a mid 2011 27" iMac with OCLP and Sonoma! Works really well!!!!
Do you have music 🎶 mine opens then closes and gives a long list error page.
Which KDK version did you use?
Most fantastic videos... Thank you so much for all your time...
I have already OCLP 1.5 and Sonoma 14.5 installed recently.
To "upgrade" only Sonoma from 14.5 to 14.6, are there any differences, if "Upgrading" just from "Settings->General->Software Update", which should be supported with OCLP 1.5?
Will this download and run the Full Installer?
Or do I need to do the upgrade with the OCLP "Build and Install OpenCore" menu item, to download the "Full Installer" and run the downloaded installer then from the "Application" folder, to do the "upgrade"?
Or do I need to create a new USB media with OCLP 1.5 and with Sonoma 14.6 and "upgrade" the internal SSD then from there?
You only show the process starting to install it on the USB media and then to the internal SSD, but is that always needed?
Thanks for your hard work and dedication for this macOS community. Please make a new video tutorial with a clean, full installation of the latest macOS Sonoma version 14.6.1 on an unsupported Mac via a bootable USB. I have tried multiple times recently to clean install our Mac mini 6,2 or late 2012 without success on 14.6.1.
I have done multiple installs of various unsupported Macs with success but for some reason I keep getting an error for the 14.6.1 version and am unable to have a successful installation. Please help.
Is the OCLP download link for new software corrupted causing this? Thanks!
Agreed a new step-by-step video for people who have never updated an unsupported Mac would be helpful.
MBP10.1 mid 2012 works fine too. Thanks to Mr. Mackintosh.
Just upgraded my MacBook 10,1. No issues with the upgrade and so far stable while running. THANK YOU Mr. Macintosh for all you work and the great OCLP devs
Me too. Great work by Mr. Mackintosh.
Updated an MB 2010 white polycarbon like a charm ;) first start it came up with an white screen but after post patch and using a usb 1.1 hub I was able to start and use this machine as usual. Thx for this well described video. Btw... some pitying but also many fascinating looks I get with this device in cafés make me look like a cool youngtimer driver ✌🏼😁
Excellent and informative video my man! Between you and Jessie's Flying I have learned sooo much about Mac's as I have only been a mac user for about three years and I have one question for you ... Before I proceed with the update, can you please push me in the right direction and give me a little guidance por favor on how to use time machine and back up my macos 14.4 properly so if something happens, I have a backup handy that I can restore and not have to start over from the beginning and avoid a kernal panic and lose my data accumulated since feb with sonoma. When I moved from monterey to sonoma on my mid 2010 mac pro 5,1 and backed up with time machine, then used migration assistant .. I ran head first into a massive brick wall and spent three days moving data and programs manually which was thoroughly exhausting. I will look out for your response to my comment and maybe we could have a little chat if that is possible. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge helping me to one day become a master mac user. GO TEAM DORTANIA!!!
MacBook Pro Retina 2012 10,2 (wifi 2013 AC) with OCLP 1.5.0, apple update from 14.5 to 14.6, no worries, everything works perfectly. Unlocking with Apple Watch included.
Early MBP 2013, no problem! Love the new format. Under 30 min I see no problem always showing how to update OCLP. At least include a link directly to a video where the update to the latest version is shown. For any users watching the latest video who have not updated before
You have saved $$$ of people collectively. Kudos.Thanks!
Like the new format thanks. Will probably update my Mac Pro 5.1 2010 on your advice . Many thanks
Using MacBookPro11,1 (Mid 2014) 13 inch 8GB ram. After various issues with Sonoma I reinstalled Ventura. Sonoma had issues with my keyboard like inserting radom spaces when typing numbers; and, closing apps whenever. Yes Ventura also has these annoyances although not as often as Sonoma.
I also have an iMac 14,2 (Late 2013) 27 inch 16GB ram. The iMac runs Ventura but Opencore had an issue with Not installing the EFI on the boot drive. I'll try that installation again.
I must admit that I prefer your updates to be in one video. I run old and new Apple hardware so the one video covers everything I need. But that’s my preference 🤣
I have a MacBook Pro 11,2 -15" (late 2013) running Sonoma 14.6 with OCLP 1.5.0 with no issues.
I’d like to point out a few things. The Arc browser does install on the patched system, but it doesn’t function properly-frequent tab crashes and high CPU & GPU usage cause the fans to run at full blast. Additionally, the ChatGPT app for macOS won’t install on the patched system, displaying a message that the hardware is not supported. For reference, I’ve installed Sonoma 14.6.1 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014).
mid-2010 13" macbook pro: installed MacOS Sonoma 14.5 using directions give by Mr. Macintosh in this video. Then upgraded from MacOS Sonoma 14.5 to MacOS Sonoma 14.6 starting from system settings. Takes a v e e r r y y long time and is completely successful and is mostly hands aside from responding to prompts BUT login and installing too patches requires USB 2 hub and USB keyboard and mouse.
Also, upgraded 15" early 2011 macbook pro running MacOS Ventura 13.6 to MacOS Sonoma 14.6 from system settings - much quicker than the above 13" macbook pro and able to login without the USB keyboard and mouse.
thank you thank you thank you, I'll go tonight for 14.6 sonoma on a mid 2017 MBP 15", as the first you checked in your video
i updated my macbook air 2015 to macos sonoma 14.6 and it was way slower then i expected it to be
i did a clean install with root patches
i am just gonna run 14.4 as its the one i think will run the best
I have a late 2012 iMac. Updated it, but it is slow and programs such as Logic Pro and PyCharm are crashing.
I don't get it, I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 that i installed 14.5 with OCLP and now when I go to software update to get 14.6.1, the installation timer stays stuck at 35mins, even though utility manger says it is installing... but after about 35 mins the Mac just freezes up and I have to hard reboot it... I am stumped
Updated my Mac Pro 6,1 from Monterey to Sonoma last night, only problem I had during the update was installing OCLP to the internal SSD. It was formatted as APFS to get Monterey installed a couple of days before and I decided to try out Sonoma before I got too much stuff on it. Needed to make a new FAT32 partition before I could ditch the USB stick for booting. Only issue I'vecom across since the upgrade is in Apple TV, I only have a few TV series purchased from Apple when I had an iPad. If I click on the stack of episodes it causes Apple TV to quit, clicking on play seems to work though.
I have a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, early 2011 Model ID: MacBook Pro 8,1 and currently I have Version 10.13.6 installed on it. I have been told by at least 4 different places that service computers that the OS can not be upgraded. From the different videos I have found and downloaded from UA-cam I am being led to believe that there is a chance I can upgrade over and above OS 10.15 Catalina. I have already upgraded the ram from 8 gb to 16. I do have a 256 gb ssd that I want to use to replace the 500 gb hdd. From the comments below, it sounds like I can have the OS upgraded from High Sierra to Sonoma. I understand OS Sequioa is coming out during the fall of 2024. Maybe I should wait.
Gettting lots of lockups on mouse and keyboard since this update
iMac (15,1) 27" Late 2014 updated to 14.6 and looking good.
this great installed 14.6 2014 16gb, its working great no problem at all
Brilliant work as always. Keeps these working machines out of the skip.
Is there a bug with the battery indicator? I've noticed that my laptop was fine with Ventura and OCLP - the battery status can be displayed in the menu bar. Turn it on in Sonoma and it makes no difference (Macbook Pro 2015)?
Hmm, mine just doesn't update, OCLP 1.5.0 with a 2015 15" dual graphics. It goes through the motions of upgrading but after restarting it's still on 14.5 with the .6 update waiting.
I couldn't get my Macbook 8.1 to start without a USB, ran the "Build and Install OpenCore" about 20 times over 4 days. Then randomly worked when I was about to give up.
I truly love this application and only have one gripe that I hope is addressed in a future release. The preference to disable the bootloader visibility on startup needs to be disabled every time I push the new installer. Please make this a user stored preference. Thanks.
I have encountered an issue consistently where downloading the installer to USB is not seen by the computer. I have had success by running the installer directly from the macOS desktop after downloading via the opencore patcher. Once I have the EFI patched it just seems to install like normal macOS, and I don’t even need the USB. All I have to do is run root patches after install. I tested this area from high Sierra all the way up to Sonoma. It Installs the same every time.
I also need to point out that OCLP 1.5.0 broke my previous MacOS install of Ventura so completely that I had to wipe it and start over. Something happened and it nuked all my boot files. I would like to request the ability to opt out of notifications regarding updates instead of it popping up every time I start my Mac or open OCLP.
Can I recommend doing a test run on a Macbook Air model (preferably early 2015+). I haven't seen any tests for MB Air models anywhere. I am currently running 14.5 and OCLP 1.5 and it performs okay but it definitely has some Safari, and overall system related* bugs where the only solution is to reboot the machine.
У меня iMac 21,5 Late 2013 (iMac 14.3). При помощи OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.5.0 установил MacOS Ventura, всё работает, нареканий особых нет. Попробовал установить Sonoma, система нормально установилась, всё вроде работает, но никак не смог установить Logi Options+, из-за чего я не могу полностью использовать свою мышь MX Master3, так что пришлось вернуться на Ventura. На Ventura программа Logi Options+ устанавливается без проблем, а на Sonoma не получается никак дать права программе на доступ к различным функция. Хотя на моем Mac Book Air M3 2024 года с установленной производителем Sonoma, эта программа стала без проблем. Видимо чего то при установке Sonoma через OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.5.0 системе не хватает, так как на Ventura этой проблеммы нет.
i have Macbook Pro 2011 (8,1) which has windows and macos sonoma 14.5 but no sound
there is only cross on the sound and there is no output speaker showing but internal mic is available
please help......
Is the apple TV app suppose to crash? I updated it and it doesn't load. Does anyone have this problem?
I really appreciate this and so does my Trash Can
Thanks a lot Mister .It was a very informative video indeed .For me I got a core 2 duo 2009 macbook running sonoma and I think I won't upgrade till maybe in the future days .I think my poor macbook is getting too old to handle this update. I'm seriously thinking about downgrading to Ventura.
I use my macbook mainly for music production I use the latest Logic pro X. I will thenprobably wait a little more and see . Again thanks a lot .
Does OCLP Sonoma on older Mac's support bootcamp windows?
MBP 13 2011, MBP 13 2013 iMac 21.5 2012, con ssd y 8 gb de ram todas, las he trabajado con Windows 11 y macos 14.5; con el único equipo que tiene detalle es MBP 13 2011 es el audio en Windows 10 y 11, pero lo he resuelto reinstalando los controladores desde macOS con open core legacy, espero te sirva
I am working on non supported MacBook Pros. Trying to get them to the best iOS that Apple supports. This Saturday me and my daughter are going to work on her Mid 2014 MacBook Pro Retina, 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB. Do you think we will have any problems getting Sonoma 14.6 installed with the use of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.5.0 or newer? To be honest I am not a computer expert and very limited knowledge on Apple products. But I am a person that likes to try.
Does XProtect security work on an open core legacy patcher 1.5.0 (I am using a 2015 MacBook Pro with Sonoma 14.6)? I can't see it on my security full disk access files.
Hello, thanks to you, I can install new versions on the old macbook, while getting help from the appel service, sometimes they say when there is no sound, how did you install it, I don't say anything, but when does the macos sequoai installation video come and which old macbooks can we install it on?
Updated my iMac late 2012 (13,1) with Sonoma 14.6 and OCLP 1.5.0 and now have issues with the Ethernet cable connection working. Under networking in the control panel, Ethernet shows "not connected." The connection on the router no longer shows a link light. I have replaced the cable and did a complete clean reinstall of Sonoma 14.6 with the same results. The WiFi connection functions normally. Curious if other users that connect with an Ethernet cable have experienced any issues? I also just tried to see if the 14.6.1 update made a difference and it did not.
Re: Google stock charts not working on Monterey 12.7.5 and 12.7.6. It's not Monterey. It's AdBlock.
Open Core Legacy Patcher 1.5 does not patch root on the Sonoma 14.6.1 version! Network and T1 Chip failure. On Macbook Pro "MacbookPro14,2".
I updated 2011 iMac 27’ to 14.6.1 and now my iTunes (Music ) will not open ans it closes so I not able to play songs and strangely the computer does not recognize my USB eternal disk ( Fat 32 Format) which worked in the past. 😮 Can you help me fix this? Thank you in advance
Yes it runs otherwise. I need my iTunes! What should I do?
Sorry it is ExFat format maybe I try another cable. 😢
I was able to successfully install Sonoma like this on an old iMac 21inch from 2015 - but for some reason Airplay is not available in the system settings? 🤔 Is there something I missed during the install?
Oh no. I successfully updated my late 2012 Mac mini a couple of weeks ago to Sonoma 15.4 (note that I was unsuccessful for two days until I plugged the flash drive directly into the mini and NOT the USB hub I've used for years.) After having problems with MS Word today (I got a gray box instead of being able to highlight), I sadly hit the update button in the settings to update to Sonoma 16.1. I'm stuck. I tried reusing the old USB drive I used before, but I can't get the old girl to boot. None of the options in safe more give me more than a quarter bar of progress. Any thoughts?
Can we install the new kdk before upgrading to 14.6?
Step One:
Back up.
Step Two:
back up again - separate drive.
Step Three:
Follow Mr. Macintosh's instructions
Thank Mr. Macintosh. Can't wait to vote for your presidency....
Thx Good working iMac late 2013 27 inch !
I'm using a 2012 MacBook Pro with Windows 10 installed, but I'd like to revert to Mac OS. What's the process for switching back?
Is there an actual link to the Sonoma version? I stuck the patcher on the HD and looked like I didn't have to update at all let alone needed any roots for the iMac 18,1.
Hi, I just upgraded to Sonoma 14.6 with a late 2008 aluminium MacBook (5,1). It all worked fine but at the end I lost all touchpad/keyboard functionality, and I see the open core pop up to update the post install root patches but I have no possibility to action the enter key... Unlike when I first moved to 14.3 and I had a similar situation I was able to use USB2.0 extensions and a wireless keyboard but this time there is no way... how do I solve this? I can see all is well installed but I just need to find a way to install the post install root patches...?
After installing on a 2017 Macbook Air that previously had no Firmware Password it's now asking for one.
Music App crashes when trying to view play my music videos 14.5 OK, 14.6 Music App crashes only when trying to view the Music Video Playlist. This on on my MacPro5,1 (Mid 2010) with RX580 Graphics card and 128 GB of RAM.
I have a MBpro late 2016, and recently purchased a Blackmagic eGPU Pro Vega 56 with 8GB RAM...
If I install the post install drivers, it kills the eGPU support. As I tested first, Installed a Monterey to an external SSD, and then I upgraded to Sonoma. It still handles the eGPU. But if I install the post install drivers with OCLP then the eGPU hub completely dissapeares. Can you pls help how to solve this?
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro with OCLP 1.5.0. I upgraded from Monterey to 14.6.1. That by itself went fine. Then when I ran OCLP Root Patching I got a lot of errors about kexts that could not be installed but it finished anyway. I rebooted but after logging in I had no WiFi and OCLP once again popped up to do root patching. When I did that I noticed rebuilding the kernel cache failed as it was unable to resolve some dependencies. I did not get any errors on WiFi/wireless. How do I tackle this? I saw some remarks on installing WiFi drivers but still am not sure what to do?
Mac Mini Late 2012, "An error occurred preparing the software update" triggered about 15 minutes to go in the install process booting and installing from the USB. Updating from 14.5 to 14.6 - It's completely munged now.
Update: As usual, user error. I went for a clean install and wiped the SSD but absent mindedly formatted it as APFS not macOS Journaled. GRRR! Wasted a whole day screwing with it. But all working now with a nice clean install.
Could that be the issue with the internal date needing changed? I recall seeing this issue on a forum with the solution, but I can't find it at the moment which required fixing the date via the terminal in safe boot mode just for the install, then setting it to the actual date, once the system is installed successfully.
@@flickwtchr Thanks so much. I tried it and the date was correct, but I discovered my own error - didn't format the SSD properly.
17:53 (ish), so is this the way to update a Hackintosh?
Ola, tudo bem, obrigado pelo conteúdo, atualizei meu MacBook Pro 13,3 i7 2016, do Monterey para o Sonoma , tudo funcionando bem, o único problema é que a câmera não está funcionando . da essa mensagem ao abrir o FaceTime ``O FaceTime não recebeu nenhum vídeo da câmera conectada. Este problema talvez possa ser resolvido reiniciando o computador.O FaceTime não recebeu nenhum vídeo da câmera conectada. Este problema talvez possa ser resolvido reiniciando o computador.``. poderia me ajudar ?
"The Volume is not compatible with this update" error going from Ventura to Sonoma 14.6 on Late 2012 iMac using Software Update via System Settings method and OCLP 1.5.0. Starts the download then gives the error. Confirmed it is APFS formatted NON-fusion drive. Anyone else with this problem? Will try Boot Installer method next. Was able to update Ventura to the latest 13.6.8 without problems.

Hi. The 2015 27" iMac. Does it have a fusion drive? I've got one and I'm wondering what happens with OCLP and fusion drives.
2012 Macbook Pro... Trying, several times, to install Sonoma 14.6 with a bootable jump drive, with the latest OCPL patches, it keeps getting stuck at: "Unable to install update"... Any help will be appreciated...
How is the update done, using the Apple update or OCLP? I already have already 14.5 installed using OCLP
iMac 13,2, GTX680MX, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD with Sonoma 14.5 already installed, OCLP 1.5. I installed 14.6 using OCLP 1.5.0, everythins went smooth and took around 30-40 mins. Computer runs perfectly after update.
I have a 2016 imac updated to sonoma running open core, did sonoma update bam not working no more. It was perfect before, no more basically bricked. Wifi and ethernet don’t work, freezes or won’t boot up. Any help? 😢

Please advise if I can safely update my iMac 27-inch (Mid 2011) I7, 16GB Ram, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB running Ventura 13.6.8 and OCLP 1.5.0 to Sonoma 14.6.
Running a iMAC 27" 2013 with SSD 16GB of memory - running Sonoma 14.5 all ok. After watching your latest video saying safe to update to 14.6 ran the update. (I do have OCLP 1.5.0 installed on the system) Ran okay after about 50 mins, rebooted into the login screen but, every 10 seconds the screen refreshes and the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. Rebooted but still recycling the login screen. Can you help?
Hello sir, i have a 2011 macbook air running sonoma 14.6, can i dowgrade the OS to ventura or monterrey? Thank you!
Well done!
Hello Mr. Macintosh I’m having a problem with my Mac. I’m stuck in the macOS utilities.This is where my problem is “the disk is locked “I need help I can’t get in my macOS X Lion
Updated OCLP to 1.5.0 with macOS 14.3 previously installed; everything worked just fine. After upgrading to macOS 14.6 my 2013 iMac27 will not complete an EFI boot; hangs around 35% and the screen goes black. I am able to reboot in Safe Mode but have been unable to overcome this problem. Root Patching reports "internal error occurred" and apparently will not patch my Nvidia Kepler and Intel Haswell graphics files. Any suggestions to help me resolve this would be most appreciated!
Update: I have been able to resolve this problem by deleting a problematic kernel in the '/Library/Extensions/WavTap.kext/Contents directory then installing the OCLP Root Patches that previously would not update. Bingo - everything now works as it should. Hope this helps anyone else who may encounter this issue.
anyone know what to do for security updates?
I installed OCLP- Ventura successfully
Operating system prompts security update, how do i go about this?
Hi! I’ve got mid 2011, 21.5 iMac with wx4150 gpu. After instal i’ve got no acceleration, after root patches i’ve got a black screen. KDK is correct and installed via ethernet. In last section You mentioned that wifi must be installed before a root patch. Is wifi not installed could cause problems with root patch? I will be gratefull for any help. Thank You.
