Jessie...15:17 literally saved me from throwing my cMP into the Chesapeake Bay! I have been wracking my brains trying to get the Hardware Acceleration to work on this cMP. I gave up on my old Nvidia Quadros and upgraded to an AMC Radeon (Pixlas Mod) 6900XT and while faster and stronger, still, no HWA for H264, but yes for HEVC. And I could never get my DRM content to play, so I lived with it for a very long time. The last several hours I played with the new OCLP and tried some settings, even adjusted my spoof level to none and bricked my installation. I had to start all over. So after getting back up with Monterey 12.6.6, I started looking into Martin Lo's OCP to solve this issue. and sure enough, nothing worked. Nothing against them, I was trying to "cross pollinate" MLOCP with OCLP. It just doesn't work. After leaving the Mac Rumor forums, I'd just about given up for the night. I watched a great video from Joerg Hennignes of Open Core, and his great great videos on using MLOCP, and I was preparing to do a full MLOCP, already missing my wonderful experience with the OCLP, and then...I saw this guide up next on the YT queue Jessie's Flying for Unsupported Macs with Monterey & Ventura - Ultimate Tutorial and I landed on 15:17. It was too good to be true. I said, well, why not. I had just given up for the night, but rebooted my cMP, and tried 'Revert Root Patches'. Well, wouldn't you know it. It worked!!! I now have H264 and HEVC Hardware Acceleration and FINALLY DRM content that actually works! So Jessie, keep flying, my friend! Thank you very much for your work and making my night, and my work day tomorrow, even better! All the best to you and yours! God Bless! ~ MJ

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now. Yesterday I finally upgraded my Mac Pro 5,1 from Mojave (RX580) to Monterey with OCLP 1.2.1 and it was a joy. Took quite some time but all went well. Thank you so much for the detailed guides, and great advices on the channel 🙏💪🔥
This is an important video, and I thank you for it, but I do need make one correction. If I understood you correctly, you said that RAM cannot be upgraded on a 2010 Mac mini. Actually there is socketed RAM on all Mac minis, other than the 2014 and the M1. Specifically with the 2010 through 2012 Minis, the upgrade is very easy, and the machines can address as much as 16 GB.
You’re right, I was not clear enough in my video: Apple didn’t plan that you change the RAM and it needs a little bit of technical knowledge, but it is possible!
For a few months i installed Monterey with OCLP on my 2010 iMac 27 inch. There were a few programs that didn’t work. Maps, garageband, Memoji’s and a few other things did not work. Now i installed an already flashed k2100m 2gb videocard and had troubles again. After listening here to your tip about changing the videocard in the macPro and the option ‘revert the post install root patch’ my problem was solved. Just did that and than did the install root patch over and everything is fully working. After that i installed Ventura and it works flawlessly. Thank you very much again for your tips.❤
Hi Jessie, great video! I have 3 questions for you (sorry for the length, but I would like to understand well): I have a Mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with Mojave on ssd disk named “PRINCIPLE” and a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 4Gb (not flashed, so without boot screen). I installed a new ssd DISK named “SECOND” into the Mac (cleaned and inizialized as Mac Os journaled, where I want to install Monterey). Then I have a 16Gb pendrive (chapter 3 of your video) Here’s my questions: 1) when the pendrive creation is finished, do I have to install the OpenCore bootloader into the pendrive OR into the ssd disk named “SECOND”? Because I think that, if I install into the pendrive, then I have to keep inserted forever... 2) Then I’ll proceed to Build and install OpenCore on ssd disk “SECOND” (chapter 2 of your video). Then instead of rebooting the system, I would shut it down, remove the system hard disk “PRINCIPLE” (so only the "SECOND" disk and the pendrive would remain connected) and boot the system WITHOUT pressing ALT. Do you think this would work, considering that with my video card I can't see the boot "? 3) If everything works, can I create a Time Machine Image so I can recovery it (in the future) without repeating the whole procedure all over again? Thank you very much!
Install the OpenCore onto the USB and boot from it. After installing macOS from the USB onto SECOND you just start the legacy patcher again and install it onto the SECOND, then you don’t need the USB for booting anymore. When you only boot with USB and empty SSD, it should boot OpenCore from USB automatically… Time Machine Backups will work, but make sure you always update OpenCore before updating macOs
I want you to know. I was stuck on the upgrade. Your video was able to help me work around so I could upgrade Ventura with my late 2014 Macbook Pro 15". It seems to be working fine. many thanks!!
Hey I was asking about since I have upgraded to Monterey or bigsur or Catalina my wifi card doesn’t work I mean it works but it doesn’t connect to any networks and when I try to connect to any network it says it was unable to I was using macOS Monterey 12.2 my Mac is a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and an early 2009 iMac and for the oclp I always use the latest version any help would be appreciated
Thank you so very much. Because of your videos on how to install Mac OS Monterey on my old 2010 Mac Pro, I have been able to resurrect that old beast and keep using it. It has been my favorite computer for a long time, and I missed it when I was forced to upgrade my OS by some 3rd party app developer. The videos are wonderful. Thanks again!! 👍
I struggled to update or upgrade my iMac for many many years because of Apple's obsoletism. Now this is the real ultimate tutorial that will make me stand on, my two feet and get into D.I.Y t and "beat up" Apple!!! Thanks.
Thanks a lot Jessie! I now can use my MacPro 4,1 (2009 ex 4,1) with OCLP 0.6.8 and Ventura 13.6 and it works perfect from a NVME-Drive and a Radeon RX 590 RX. USB-3-PCI is working, had to reset some rights on the other Harddrives, but bluetooth is working, Wifi is working, not a lot difference in speed coming from Catalina. Could also change the Icons in dock to my favorites and im really happy. Never could use Handoff, Airdrop and now I can use all the features from my watch also. Thanks for all the good advice and also the boot-trick with my PC-GPU. 🧡🙏🙌
Hello, I have an Mac Pro early 2008 and If I do this, will my data and music software be deleted or I ll be able to use everything as I use now on El Capitan??
Dankeschön, perfekte Anleitung, besser geht es nicht, ich bin begeistert, mein „altes MacBook Pro Late 2014“ auf Ventura geupdatet und danach das kleine Problem mit der Grafikkarte auch noch gelöst…..
Jesse ROXS. Yes I also jumped from Mojave to Monterey. Weird thing is I held down the option key down forever and never booted. Tried three times on restart and never boot the EFI boot screen. Then I just restarted without holding the option key and the darn EFI boot screet popped ??, anyhow thank you Jesse.
Great channel! Just installed Monterey 12.6 through OCLP on a heavily upgraded Mac Pro 5,1. Looks quite good. But, there's one major issue you can follow in the internet. Since Monterey 12.3, support for 10gb ethernet seems to be changed somehow. So, e.g. the common AQC chip series and others no longer work on a Mac Pro 5,1. And OCLP currently doesn't seem to provide a solution for that. 10gbe is quite common on upgraded older Mac Pros. A video on this topic and your findings would be great!!!
Brilliant and helpful video on how to give our brilliant but ageing Mac's a few more years of useful life. Otherwise have to convert them all to running Unix!
Great video Marcus and very easy to understand your explanations and instructions. I have a 2009 iMac which I upgraded last year using Dos-Dude Catalina tool, and assume I can now use Open Core to get me to Monterey and beyond -- thanks in advance for the help. Also a you-tube session sounds interesting to further the conversation of unsupported Macs.
Thanks for share. Sucess update my 2015 macbook 12" I need newest macOS to install newest xcode then I can continue my office xcode project(run at M2 Air) at home
8:44 min ff. The whole physical (external) drive will be used. If the HD, usb or ssd has partitions on it - they will be gone and used for the OCLP. I am quite sure that I picked the right "disk0s2", "disk1s1" or what it says when you be prompted to pick the disk for the installer. Maybe I´am wrong and the first thing is a backup anyhow, oder so ähnlich.
Too bad my 2012 15.4 Retina MacBook Pro is not supported by Ventura, almost tempted to click that upgrade button on my Mac good I watched your video 🙏🏻👍 thanks for sharing your wonderful expert incites on the macOS upgrades
Hello, I would like you to make a video explaining how to install Windows 10 on a Mac Pro 5.1 through Ooen Core Legacy Patcher. Greetings and thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you, I have tried several times following the thread to which the official page refers and I have not been able to do it, I imagine that there will be many people to whom the same thing has happened.
Hello Jessie, wonderfully condensed with all info needed - straight to the point and very clear explanations. Appreciate for putting up so much time to help us people like me ! After following all your steps, I got the OS Ventura installed over OS Monterey and have 2 issues - Apple logo during the boot screen is abnormally huge like a real size apple - how to reduce it to its normal size? After log in, storeuid comes up every time - what is this? is it okay to get this or needs to be removed and How to?
Ah @ 14:21 there is the info on WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity I was hoping for. The Hashwell is a must for Ventura but not for Monterey then. MB pro 2012 not good but MB 2013 is good.
great tutorial but I am missing a step I do not understand so = Off to purchase a used new model.......I cannot risk losing my music files and video files.... thanks for the help
@@JessiesFlying I want to do a uefi win 10 install on single nvme boot drive that already has high sierra and also monterey done via OCLP... is it Safe to install windows on the nvme as long as its booted Thru the opencore booter? does this prevent any certificate issues from corrupting bootrom? i want windows on that nvme and cant seem to get a legacy install possible unless i do it as UEFI... any help appreciated...the whole 4,1-5,1 bootrom corruption threads had me worried...I would think open core with secureboot option OFF should prevent this..what are ur thoughts?
@@JessiesFlying Thanks Jesse! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for ur latest vids....Have you had any experience with martin lo's premade efi for the 5,1? supposedly, its all set ready to roll and has a Ton of extra perks added in including windows uefi install protection for bootrom against secure boot certificates... ive done the OCLP monterey on my 5,1 and monterey works incredibly good.. However, i wanted to try martins EFI and swapped out the OCLP efi of the usb installer with his efi.. it booted high sierra no issue but the boot screen froze when trying to boot monterey.. do u know if its compatible?

THANK YOY VERY MUCH JESSIE, such great tutorial, BEST ONE EVER ON UA-cam SO FAR, you made it so easy to the average computer guy! like not other! cant thank you enough, just subscribed an liked to your channel! ( been stuck trying to install Monterey for the last 2 weeks without success, until just a few minutes ago, now up and running smopthly, mac pro 2009. 5,1 one final question though; although it is not much of an issue, as you have explained very well, but when it comes to revert root patching (due to the fact i used the old original Graphics card to be able to see the boot up screen ) do I have to revert the root patching with the old card still in place or with the new graphics card am using now?? now lets say i did have reverted the root patching with the old card in , so when i do the reboot with the new card in place do I have to start all over and start root patching againg with the new card in?? something you did not mention and just wanted to make sure, thank you once again Jessie, watching all the way from Ecuador.
yes, best way is to not apply root patches with old GPU, swap new GPU in and then do root patches. if you have them already installed revert them, swap GPU and install them again
Thanks a lot you helped me install monterey on my mac pro 2012 without the official mac display card,I'm just having the wifi problem and I spent hours trying to fix it with no luck,the open core patch twice method didn't work I can see the wifi is on and when try to join manually and enter the ssid and password it also refuses to connect .

I tried to bring Monterey to my Mac Pro 5.1 (mid 2012), 3.33GHz 6-core Intel Xeon with a GeForce GTX 680 4G with a clean install from a USB stick. The installation is successful. Monterey can be completely set up. The BootEFI is also installed on the new partition, but Monterey cannot be accessed again after the restart. The Prohibitary Circle appears. Do you have a rough idea where the error could be? Most of the time it’s the man in front of the screen;-) Thank you very much in advance. Rai
hey , thanks a lot , man, this tutorial really helped, after installing macOS ventura using open core , everything looks fine and working , except that my Mac is a little bit slow , specially when using internet /UA-cam ... the main reason for this update was to download Logic Pro x , because apple requires at least macOS ventura to use ... do you recommend using different macOS's , one supported and one not in my two SSDs ? if yes , how should I operate this ? thanks
I’ve tried a free install of Monterey 4 times now. I still get “ Installation cannot proceed because the installer is damaged. Redownload the installer and try again.” I have a Late 2013 MBP 15inch full specs. Please help. Don’t know what else’s to do

Hi Jessie - I’m running Catalina on my MacPro 2010 5,1 using Dosdude Patcher. If I want to upgrade to Monterey using OpenCore Legacy Patcher will I have to start from scratch and erase the NVMExpress drive and then install OpenCore?

Hi, thanks a lot for this tutorials, they helped me a lot to get some more live out of my 5.1. I still have a problem. Apps do not seem to be able to ask for privacy permissions like microphone, camera, etc... is any option on the patcher to solve that?
I followed the instructions religiously, but after the reboot it goes straight into the old OS. Nothing showing in About this Mac, either. It shows the "rel ... " in the bottom RH corner as well. Pity. I think a lot of caveats are missing at critical points.

For a few months i installed Monterey with OCLP on my 2010 iMac 27 inch. There were a few programs that didn’t work. Maps, garageband, Memoji’s and a few other things did not work. Now i installed an already flashed k2100m 2gb videocard and had troubles again. After listening here to your tip about changing the videocard in the macPro and the option ‘revert the post install root patch’ my problem was solved. Just did that and than did the install root patch over and everything is fully working. After that i installed Ventura and it works flawlessly.
Thank you very much again for your tips.❤
Great to hear! That’s why I’m doing it! 🚀
Congratulations on your channel, it’s neat, clear thoughts 💭 and very precise.
Thx! 😬
I installed Monterey on my Macbook Pro mid 2009, after updating RAM and update to SSD. Works like a dream.
Great to hear! 👍
Hi Jessie, great video! I have 3 questions for you (sorry for the length, but I would like to understand well):
I have a Mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with Mojave on ssd disk named “PRINCIPLE” and a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 4Gb (not flashed, so without boot screen). I installed a new ssd DISK named “SECOND” into the Mac (cleaned and inizialized as Mac Os journaled, where I want to install Monterey).
Then I have a 16Gb pendrive (chapter 3 of your video)
Here’s my questions:
1) when the pendrive creation is finished, do I have to install the OpenCore bootloader into the pendrive OR into the ssd disk named “SECOND”? Because I think that, if I install into the pendrive, then I have to keep inserted forever...
2) Then I’ll proceed to Build and install OpenCore on ssd disk “SECOND” (chapter 2 of your video). Then instead of rebooting the system, I would shut it down, remove the system hard disk “PRINCIPLE” (so only the "SECOND" disk and the pendrive would remain connected) and boot the system WITHOUT pressing ALT. Do you think this would work, considering that with my video card I can't see the boot "?
3) If everything works, can I create a Time Machine Image so I can recovery it (in the future) without repeating the whole procedure all over again?
Thank you very much!
Install the OpenCore onto the USB and boot from it. After installing macOS from the USB onto SECOND you just start the legacy patcher again and install it onto the SECOND, then you don’t need the USB for booting anymore. When you only boot with USB and empty SSD, it should boot OpenCore from USB automatically…
Time Machine Backups will work, but make sure you always update OpenCore before updating macOs
@@JessiesFlying Thanks bro!
I want you to know. I was stuck on the upgrade. Your video was able to help me work around so I could upgrade Ventura with my late 2014 Macbook Pro 15". It seems to be working fine. many thanks!!

Thanks a lot Jessie! I now can use my MacPro 4,1 (2009 ex 4,1) with OCLP 0.6.8 and Ventura 13.6 and it works perfect from a NVME-Drive and a Radeon RX 590 RX. USB-3-PCI is working, had to reset some rights on the other Harddrives, but bluetooth is working, Wifi is working, not a lot difference in speed coming from Catalina. Could also change the Icons in dock to my favorites and im really happy. Never could use Handoff, Airdrop and now I can use all the features from my watch also. Thanks for all the good advice and also the boot-trick with my PC-GPU.

Hello, I have an Mac Pro early 2008 and If I do this, will my data and music software be deleted or I ll be able to use everything as I use now on El Capitan??
My Mac Mini 2011 (I7 2GHz) runs Ventura OK... its not fantastic but it runs not bad as a backup system. OCLP of course.

Jesse ROXS. Yes I also jumped from Mojave to Monterey. Weird thing is I held down the option key down forever and never booted. Tried three times on restart and never boot the EFI boot screen. Then I just restarted without holding the option key and the darn EFI boot screet popped ??, anyhow thank you Jesse.
Great channel!
Just installed Monterey 12.6 through OCLP on a heavily upgraded Mac Pro 5,1. Looks quite good. But, there's one major issue you can follow in the internet. Since Monterey 12.3, support for 10gb ethernet seems to be changed somehow. So, e.g. the common AQC chip series and others no longer work on a Mac Pro 5,1. And OCLP currently doesn't seem to provide a solution for that. 10gbe is quite common on upgraded older Mac Pros. A video on this topic and your findings would be great!!!
I have to dig deeper into that, but I don’t have anything to test here…
Brilliant and helpful video on how to give our brilliant but ageing Mac's a few more years of useful life. Otherwise have to convert them all to running Unix!
That’s the last resort… 😉
You guys are amazing ! My late 2014 iMac retina 27” can be modern again!

Great video Marcus and very easy to understand your explanations and instructions. I have a 2009 iMac which I upgraded last year using Dos-Dude Catalina tool, and assume I can now use Open Core to get me to Monterey and beyond -- thanks in advance for the help. Also a you-tube session sounds interesting to further the conversation of unsupported Macs.

8:44 min ff. The whole physical (external) drive will be used. If the HD, usb or ssd has partitions on it - they will be gone and used for the OCLP.
I am quite sure that I picked the right "disk0s2", "disk1s1" or what it says when you be prompted to pick the disk for the installer. Maybe I´am wrong and the first thing is a backup anyhow, oder so ähnlich.
Yes, the installer wipes the whole drive where it is installed on… 😖

After following all your steps, I got the OS Ventura installed over OS Monterey and have 2 issues -
Apple logo during the boot screen is abnormally huge like a real size apple - how to reduce it to its normal size?
After log in, storeuid comes up every time - what is this? is it okay to get this or needs to be removed and How to?
Great to hear! The apple logo size is just a graphic driver issue as it’s loaded, but I don’t know why the store ID comes up… 🤔
Ah @ 14:21 there is the info on WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity I was hoping for.
The Hashwell is a must for Ventura but not for Monterey then. MB pro 2012 not good but MB 2013 is good.
With OpenCore Legacy patcher you can install Ventura on 2012 Mac’s (but I don’t recommend doing it on pre-Haswell)…

THANK YOY VERY MUCH JESSIE, such great tutorial, BEST ONE EVER ON UA-cam SO FAR, you made it so easy to the average computer guy! like not other! cant thank you enough, just subscribed an liked to your channel! ( been stuck trying to install Monterey for the last 2 weeks without success, until just a few minutes ago, now up and running smopthly, mac pro 2009. 5,1
one final question though; although it is not much of an issue, as you have explained very well, but when it comes to revert root patching (due to the fact i used the old original Graphics card to be able to see the boot up screen ) do I have to revert the root patching with the old card still in place or with the new graphics card am using now??
now lets say i did have reverted the root patching with the old card in , so when i do the reboot with the new card in place do I have to start all over and start root patching againg with the new card in?? something you did not mention and just wanted to make sure, thank you once again Jessie, watching all the way from Ecuador.
yes, best way is to not apply root patches with old GPU, swap new GPU in and then do root patches. if you have them already installed revert them, swap GPU and install them again
Thanks a lot you helped me install monterey on my mac pro 2012 without the official mac display card,I'm just having the wifi problem and I spent hours trying to fix it with no luck,the open core patch twice method didn't work I can see the wifi is on and when try to join manually and enter the ssid and password it also refuses to connect .

I tried to bring Monterey to my Mac Pro 5.1 (mid 2012), 3.33GHz 6-core Intel Xeon with a GeForce GTX 680 4G with a clean install from a USB stick. The installation is successful. Monterey can be completely set up. The BootEFI is also installed on the new partition, but Monterey cannot be accessed again after the restart. The Prohibitary Circle appears.
