Sonoma 14.1 works very well on my Mac Pro 5.1. Right after installing OCLP 1.1, I upgraded the Mac OS and during the system installation the process stopped. I restarted the Mac by holding the "option" button and when the startup screen appeared, I selected "EFI Boot". The Mac turned on again and the installation process was completed. After installation, bluetooth and wifi did not work as usual. Using a cable keyboard, I did "Post-Install Root Patch" in OCLP 1.1 and everything works fine
Dude, you are a lifesaver. I ran into this problem with OCLP 1.3 and Sonoma 14.2. I normally wait for a while before upgrading but decided to be reckless. Safe Mode did the trick for me. Had to do it 3 times. but eventually finished, then again in Safe mode had to install the root patches. Next boot without Safe Mode, it was stuck and I was about to power cycle, when suddenly the bar shot forward and now I am running 14.2 on my Macbook air. Salute 🖖
Holding down shift and booting into safe mode worked for me. I had updated using the System Settings, instead of the previous times using OCLP to patch first. Thanks.
This is the same as what happened to me when I told you about a malfunction the previous time in the 14.2 update, and when I entered safe mode, the installation was completed, I activated the patch, and the system became stable ... You are a really great person for your efforts
Bro, fantastic! Since weeks my Pro stucks on logon and thx to u and your solution with „Safe Mode“ I‘m able to logon again. You and my son („Dad, never give up“) saved me around 1.000€ for a new Mac! Great!
I can confirm that this works! My mid-June 2012 MBP is now running Sonoma 14.4, w/ OCLP 1.4.3, successfully. It was stuck on the Apple logo screen, but I rebooted and selected the EFI boot drive + Shift and it finally finished and booted up! Then I just patched the MBP boot drive, and now it's fully functional. Thank you!
Had the same issue. Fix: force shutdown then restart and press and hold the shift key until you get to this point. The screen should "zoom out" and the installation will finish w/o further issues.
I know several software programs but the hardware end of it I am at a loss. I wasn't able to connect to WIFI so I watched your video probably four times before I attempted to load the root patches after I had updated to 14.1 OMG it worked!Thank you sooo much from a newbie!
I did a full install on my MacBook Pro 15" 2015 11,4 and all went well, I did this after the trouble seen by Mr Mac and yourself. I didnt mind reinstalling programs as most passwords are in my keychain and others I remember by second nature. Up and running with all programs and 14.1 installed in 2 and a half hours. Using opencore of course
Okayy, better try this method instead kasey, bcs the "upgrade" installment method showing failure for 3-4 times, I couldn't figure out how to disable the AMFI 😭 But atleast I could entered the safe mode to back things up, thanks for the tips Jessie!
Your first option NVram reset got things going. I was stuck on the boot screen forever and I was getting irritated. A simple NVram reset was all that was needed. 😊thanks
@@JessiesFlying it’s running extremely slow though, and I just found out that my install only works in safe mode, it freezes when attempting to boot normal mode.
@@JessiesFlying I forgot I had Bitdefender antivirus installed on my unsupported OS which was causing the problem. Uninstalled it and rooted it again and all is good
After rebooting, selecting the OCLP EFI, and reaching the MacOS HD selection screen, press and hold the space bar and after a few moments you should see additional options to boot from, including the "Reset NVRAM" executable. Select it and proceed as indicated from there.
@@JessiesFlying I didn't say that was THE solution. In the video, it was suggested trying it to see if it helps users be able to conitinue the upgrade or a reboot into safe mode. I only gave an easier alternative on how to do such task which is simpler than doing a multi-button combo press which varies depending on the hardware kb you have. Everyone has a spacebar and that tid-bit of info isn't as easily found online by newcomers to Mac's.
Hey Jessie. Inadvertently you solved nagging problem. You may recall several weeks ago my email saying that Photoshop ran very slowly on my unsupported Mac running Monterey. Turns out, I had not reinstalled the OpenCore boot files after upgrading to Monterrey from Big Sur. After hearing you address this problem earlier today, I went through the upgrade process again, reinstalled the OpenCore files, and all is well. Thanks.
This happened to my late '13 MBP. I hadn't even updated yet. Was still on 14.0. Only updated OCLP to 1.21, updated root patch in preparation for the upgrade and got stuck after restart. Tried everything. Ended up creating a new partition on the internal SSD, installing there using a Sonoma USB I'd already created, installing OCLP 1.3 and restoring to the new partition. Long process but worked for me.
Thanks for a great troubleshooting video. Had this same stuck screen issue and could not bypass it. Didn't know about the safe mode. Using that helped me bypass the issue and go to the login screen. Out of curiosity I used the Cmd + V to output the verbose information and my issue seemed to be something with some bluetooth drivers. After reapplying the OCLP post patch that fixed the issue.
Thanks! Fixed. Just used these tips (PAM/NVRAM) on my White 2010 macbook 7,1, which stuck doing an update from Ventura straight to Sonoma 14.2! Going like a real champ with 16GB ram and 4TB ssd. I also used a USB hub and external keyboard until my root patches were in.
I already had 14.1 installed via opencore legacy patcher and unfortunately attempted to upgrade to 14.1.1 via General->SoftwareUpdate and of course my system would hang on a boot. I followed your video and SUCCESS. From safe mode I could run the legacy patcher to apply the necessary drivers. Thanks a million!!!! I now have 14.1.1 running
Thank you so much for this very quick and easy fix (just pressing shift on reboot to enter safe mode) for my Late 2013 iMac. Up and running again in just a few minutes. 👍
@@marcozmp That’s good to hear! Did you also install the Post-Install Root Patches? Also check if Bluetooth is enabled, and check if your mouse is switched on and recharged / batteries full. Finally try to reconnect your mouse.
Thanks - needed this today with 7,2 MacbookAir that got badly stuck on reboot, this worked. I think it was associated with a big jump in OCLP version on venture 0.6.8 to 1.4.1 while on Ventura. Went all out and installed sonoma 14.2., had the stuck progress bar the did the safe mode shift button, on 14.4 using 1.4.1. 😅. This video was extremely helpful. Many thanks.
Very interesting! I couldn’t get mine to work so I went back to Maverick and now to try to upgrade to Sonoma or something more than Maverick or Catalina. I’m still learning about OCLP for my 2012 MacBook Pro 9,2
Mine MacBook Pro Touch Bar 2017 did update without any issues (OCLP 1.1 and Sonoma 14.1). Had Sonoma 14 and OCLP 1.0 already installed and upgraded to 1.1 before upgrading macOS.
It worked on my MacBook Pro 2012 too. After it got stuck with the progress bar at about one third, rebooting manually to the efi boot and then booting into safe mode, checking if Sonoma 14.1 was installed (yes!), opening Open Core patcher and installing the root patches and after another reboot everything seems to be fine
How do you reboot “manually”? I am frustrated as any recommendation given here fails to get me beyond the “log in page”! I also don’t make it with the “shift” pressing into safe boot. Anything else I could “press” to get the system running?
Hi @chapeaubay , with rebooting 'manually' I meant a hard reboot. Then you select the efi boot and when you get the selection of boot drives (like Macintosh HD) you select the boot drive while holding the shift key and then press enter. If your Mac keyboard (built-in or bluetooth) doesn't do that you should you could use a usb keyboard. I hope that will help get it fixed
Big Bug; seen by many too. we been multi boot for years both internal and external drive with different OS x version. Sonoma put a wrinkle in this by altering or updating the older os x version to sonoma without asking or initiating the update. A back up of profile was done so no data loss, but issue is we didn't want sonoma on the drive yet and it cause a failure to boot finding that the target drive was no report a version 14 and not the version that was installed and the boot failed. Because you can not downgrade only option was to do clean format and install. only for it to happen yet again. As of 2024 no solution found. This reminds of us Apple and forcing U2 music to every device purchase by the public whether the want it or not.
I have 2016 macbook pro touchbar 4 thunderbolt running on latest mac os monterey available for my mac. i used the open patcher v.1.5.0 i followd all the progress till it booted up and came to the login password screen, after i put my password, them i enter it, it goes to “analytics” just like at minute 8:39 . after i click continue, the screen goes black and back to login password again, then i repeat the progres input password enter, black screen, back to login password again and again, any suggestions that you can help me with my problem? thankyou, hope u can help me sir 🙏🏻
@@JessiesFlying In the end it didn't work. I was able to install OCLP and boot without USB and install the root patches, yet the Mac was not booting except for in safe mode. In Safe mode it worked partially, but without safe mode it rebooted inself at about 40%.
I prepared for a serious "fight", but after installing OCLP 1.1 on my Boot NVMe Drive, my 2009 MacPro 4,1/5,1(with 2x X5690, 96GB RAM, AMD Radeon RX Vega-56 & upgraded WiFi-BT Module) updated to Sonoma 14,1 through a OCLP-1.1 created USB Installer in less than 30 min. without any issues, it didn't end up stuck during the install & i even didn't need to run the OCLP-1.1 Root-Patches after the update because WIFi & Bluetooth were running...only needed a wired Keyboard in the Recovery Mode of the MacOS Sonoma Installer...
WARNING!!! Following my previous comment, I should just say that if your updating an Early 2008 Mac Tower, you must be patient. Thanks to @JessieFlying I got there in the end. Absolutely boot in safe mode. Most importantly though, each stage does take an enormous amount of time. All in all its taken me three days to complete. Once leaving the update to run over night! Yes I did have to restart on occasions because it was stuck but most of the time when you think its stuck its just taking longer than you think. So here I am. My beloved old mac has Ventura on it and is running splendidly with no loss of data. A huge thankyou to @Jessiesflying and the Opencore team for enabling us to continue using these wonderful machines.
Oh man, I tried to use the Safe Mode method but the progress bar freezes halfway through. I’m all out of ideas. I was trying to run Sonoma 14.5 on a late 2013 iMac. 😊
Hello there ! I can't reach safe mode neither recovery mode, it seems there is no recovery partition or something... How can I launch it, restore it, bypass it ? This is driving me crazy.
I reached safe mode but the install do not continue after login. I launch the patch but at restart it keeps remaining at load stuck@@JessiesFlying edit : I deleted kextfiles under /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions except Highpoint and Softraid reboot and it finally boot ! thanks for the support. edit 2 : it worked once only, after root patches and reboot; the load stuck is still here. edit 3 : tried verbose mode to target issue, at the stuck point, the verbose mode quit to Apple logo and an empty progress bar.
I didn't get stuck during the update and I was using the open core legacy 1.2.1. However, I couldn't login to my Apple account after everything was set up.
Thank you so much Jessie! Your videos help a lot in this painful journey. However I'm still missing the last step, booting without USB (9:40 in your video) Although I installed Open Core to my internal drive, EFI is not showing up when I eject the USB and reboot. It only works with USB. Any advice on what to do?
@@JessiesFlying Yes, I used the "Build and Install Open Core" and then chose my Apple SSD and then EFI. Then Open Core asks me if I want to reboot, but if I do (and eject the USB), EFI boot is not showing up in the boot selector.
encountered a problem installing the OS after downloading it. Although I successfully downloaded it, when I reached the step to select the local macOS installer, the window displayed 'Install macOS Sonoma (requires High Sierra)' in a faded color. I would appreciate your advice on this.
Thank you Jessie for your help. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina 13-inch, Mid 2014). My macOS is the Unarchived version X 10.10.5. Do I need to upgrade to High Sierra before upgrading to Sonoma? Your further assistance is appreciated. Warm regards, David
Hey I just started the new update and I have the white background (I’m in safe mode) I open Opencore patcher and press post install root patch but it says everything is already installed even though I’m still having the background issue and slow performance, what should I do?
Apple laptops are garbage after 2 years. I bought a brand new Mac book Pro back in 2009. It dies by 2011. However, the IMACs seem to last forever. I've restored older IMACs simply by installing Opencore's Sonoma on external SSD's. IMACs run fast and feel like new again. Restored two 21 inch 2015 Imacs, two 27 inch late 2012 and 2013 Imacs. I stay away from used Apple laptops!!!! Not worth the troubles.
I am stuck in the safe mode password can't log in There's a big problem with the imacs 2014 201 I'm just going to go and buy upto date iMac You're going to have a lot of problems on the metal Mcs Intel CPU as well
I tried to upgrade to Sonoma and my keyboard and mouse wouldn’t work. I had to drop back to the previous OS. I am on a 2009 5,1 dual 3.33, 48 gig ram, metal 8 gig Asus graphics card 590. My OS is on a 1T SSD and I have 8T storage. My old Canon printer no longer works with the new OS but it’s needing to be updated anyway. My other issue is that I have to press the power on button 5 or 6 times before I hear the chime and get the machine to boot. I think my power supply is about to go and needs replacing. A new used one is only $40 dollars. I will hold off until we see a patch for the new OS.
Hello Jessie, I followed your instructions but still don't have graphic support for MBP 11,4 mid 2015. after following your instructions in this video and the previous Sonoma installation video
Did you patch system by OpenCore Patcher? I had the same (white screen and slow motion mouse) plus problem with WiFi conection for OpenCore Patcher (computer had connection all the time, expect patcher) on Mac 11.5 (early Pro 2015). After installing patcher version 1.1 Patcher could connected to net and patch system perfectly.

I prepared for a serious "fight", but after installing OCLP 1.1 on my Boot NVMe Drive, my 2009 MacPro 4,1/5,1(with 2x X5690, 96GB RAM, AMD Radeon RX Vega-56 & upgraded WiFi-BT Module) updated to Sonoma 14,1 through a OCLP-1.1 created USB Installer in less than 30 min. without any issues, it didn't end up stuck during the install & i even didn't need to run the OCLP-1.1 Root-Patches after the update because WIFi & Bluetooth were running...only needed a wired Keyboard in the Recovery Mode of the MacOS Sonoma Installer...
Yes, installing from USB automatically applies root patches during install. Great to hear! 🚀
Thank you, Jessie for your help.
❤thanks so much -I’m using an old model Mac Pro 2011 and graphics is on point
@@greshamjansen8673 😬
Amazing ! It worked with this magic of „shift+enter“ ! Thank you 🙏🏼! But what’s the explanation behind ?
It’s safe mode that doesn’t load all drivers
Thank you! Great video. Your instructions worked! :)
Great! Sharing appreciated😬
I updated my M1 MacBook pro. Been having this issue ever since. Can't get away from it
@@JonathanWickTrades this video is for OpenCore with unsupported Macs
like listening to Jessie because he makes a lot of sense you can learn a lot from him brakes it down so easy looks like from all different angles
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰
WARNING!!! Following my previous comment, I should just say that if your updating an Early 2008 Mac Tower, you must be patient. Thanks to @JessieFlying I got there in the end. Absolutely boot in safe mode. Most importantly though, each stage does take an enormous amount of time. All in all its taken me three days to complete. Once leaving the update to run over night! Yes I did have to restart on occasions because it was stuck but most of the time when you think its stuck its just taking longer than you think.
So here I am. My beloved old mac has Ventura on it and is running splendidly with no loss of data.
A huge thankyou to @Jessiesflying and the Opencore team for enabling us to continue using these wonderful machines.
😊
thank you so much Sir...Happy Diwali from India.
thank you - greetings back from USA!
open core patcher 1.2.0 is out. Works just fine on macbook pro 2013 from 14.0 to 14.1 just an hour ago.
Thx!
Thank you so much. You're the best. Great solution, thank you for your UA-cam channel.
😊
Mr Macintosh does videos about updates and warns when to wait and when it is safe to update Unsupported macs built with oclp
I recommend the same
Thanks man, it worked
so using made the drive you select as "START UP" or "Blessed" drive, interesting learn something new every day LOL
Booted into safe mode. Login screen showed up. But not restarting automatically.
You saved my life. Thank you
Oh man, I tried to use the Safe Mode method but the progress bar freezes halfway through. I’m all out of ideas. I was trying to run Sonoma 14.5 on a late 2013 iMac. 😊
Did you try this method already?

Hello there ! I can't reach safe mode neither recovery mode, it seems there is no recovery partition or something... How can I launch it, restore it, bypass it ? This is driving me crazy.

I reached safe mode but the install do not continue after login. I launch the patch but at restart it keeps remaining at load stuck@@JessiesFlying edit : I deleted kextfiles under /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions except Highpoint and Softraid reboot and it finally boot ! thanks for the support. edit 2 : it worked once only, after root patches and reboot; the load stuck is still here. edit 3 : tried verbose mode to target issue, at the stuck point, the verbose mode quit to Apple logo and an empty progress bar.
@@n0vitch709 check Discord discussion
I feel you man. Makes me want throw my stupid mac out @@n0vitch709
Safe mode does not always work. You may have to boot from latest bootable snapshot to finish installation.
Already working on that video 😬
I didn't get stuck during the update and I was using the open core legacy 1.2.1. However, I couldn't login to my Apple account after everything was set up.
what was the error message?
Thanks for the amazing video
Thank you so much Jessie!
Your videos help a lot in this painful journey.
However I'm still missing the last step, booting without USB (9:40 in your video)
Although I installed Open Core to my internal drive, EFI is not showing up when I eject the USB and reboot.
It only works with USB. Any advice on what to do?
What Mac model? Does it show Apple boot selector?
@@JessiesFlying It's a MacBookPro11,1 from 2014. It shows the boot menu with my Macintosh HD and Bootcamp (for Windows), but not EFI Boot.
@@lisagunther3668 did you install OpenCore to your boot disk already?
@@JessiesFlying Yes, I used the "Build and Install Open Core" and then chose my Apple SSD and then EFI. Then Open Core asks me if I want to reboot, but if I do (and eject the USB), EFI boot is not showing up in the boot selector.
@@lisagunther3668 it seems something’s messed up due to windows… 🤔
encountered a problem installing the OS after downloading it. Although I successfully downloaded it, when I reached the step to select the local macOS installer, the window displayed 'Install macOS Sonoma (requires High Sierra)' in a faded color. I would appreciate your advice on this.
So what Mac model and macOS do you run
Thank you Jessie for your help.
I have a MacBook Pro (Retina 13-inch, Mid 2014). My macOS is the Unarchived version X 10.10.5. Do I need to upgrade to High Sierra before upgrading to Sonoma?
Your further assistance is appreciated.
Warm regards,
David
@@davidlai7262 yes, it's always recommended to update to latest official macOS also to install latest firmware before installing unofficial macOS
Hey I just started the new update and I have the white background (I’m in safe mode) I open Opencore patcher and press post install root patch but it says everything is already installed even though I’m still having the background issue and slow performance, what should I do?
In safe mode the drivers are not loaded, that’s why there’s a white screen
You can avoid having to boot in safe mode by simply reverting root patches BEFORE UPDATING MacOS or OpenCore.
Not every time unfortunately
thank you so much ❤
Great Video!! thank you very much😊
You’re welcome! Sharing appreciated😬
Thanks!😂 You save my soul 😍
Apple laptops are garbage after 2 years. I bought a brand new Mac book Pro back in 2009. It dies by 2011. However, the IMACs seem to last forever. I've restored older IMACs simply by installing Opencore's Sonoma on external SSD's. IMACs run fast and feel like new again. Restored two 21 inch 2015 Imacs, two 27 inch late 2012 and 2013 Imacs. I stay away from used Apple laptops!!!! Not worth the troubles.
I have 2 2011MCB pro laptops both with original battery and they work fine. I recently upgraded to SSD, 16gb Ram, and OCLP running ventura
Mh i don't get u my Mac book late 2008 is still working even the original battery still lasts 1.5 hours on Monterey
@@shrimboi8909 how did you put Sonoma on a 2015 IMAC?
@@Ggmoney814 search on youtube... "clone imac with external ssd" ... will explain everything.. very easy to follow

Thank you Man, you are life saver

I am stuck in the safe mode password can't log in
There's a big problem with the imacs 2014 201
I'm just going to go and buy upto date iMac
You're going to have a lot of problems on the metal Mcs Intel CPU as well
Was able to revert to Mojave using shift
I tried to upgrade to Sonoma and my keyboard and mouse wouldn’t work. I had to drop back to the previous OS. I am on a 2009 5,1 dual 3.33, 48 gig ram, metal 8 gig Asus graphics card 590. My OS is on a 1T SSD and I have 8T storage. My old Canon printer no longer works with the new OS but it’s needing to be updated anyway. My other issue is that I have to press the power on button 5 or 6 times before I hear the chime and get the machine to boot. I think my power supply is about to go and needs replacing. A new used one is only $40 dollars. I will hold off until we see a patch for the new OS.
Did you use USB 2.0 hub? The USB drivers are not loaded during setup until root patches are applied
Hello Jessie, I followed your instructions but still don't have graphic support for MBP 11,4 mid 2015. after following your instructions in this video and the previous Sonoma installation video
Did you patch system by OpenCore Patcher? I had the same (white screen and slow motion mouse) plus problem with WiFi conection for OpenCore Patcher (computer had connection all the time, expect patcher) on Mac 11.5 (early Pro 2015). After installing patcher version 1.1 Patcher could connected to net and patch system perfectly.
I had done that but no luck
