I fell into this trap myself. EFI firmware didn't want to update until that.
Got a tip for us?

Right. I'm doing a search on the Monterey thread for the posts where I documented what I did. Will update this post when I find it.
Edit, later: It seems I did not document what I did, shame on me. But I'm still pretty sure I did not reset PRAM/NVRAM. I agree though it's a good idea to discuss it in my previous post describing the firmware update workflow that I posted yesterday. I've edited that post to include a PRAM/NVRAM reset as a recommended step before booting into Catalina to start the macOS install or update.

I did bypass OCLP, but, no, I didn't clear PRAM, and indeed, THIS was the problem. After clearing PRAM, Catalina installed the security update, and EFI firmware could be updated, finally. So, you're right. EFI firmware doesn't want to update until PRAM is cleared. Thank you so much for your help!!

That's OK. There may be natural difference in architecture of laptops and desktops.
Apple released macOS 13.1 RC (22C65) to developers
My 12.1, mid 2011 21.5 inch, upgraded with Xeon CPUand NVIDIA Quadro K2100M GPU is currentluy perfectly running with Monterey, what about installng Opencore Ventura, since the GPU supports Metal up to 1v4, did somebody already try Ventura on this hackintosh upgraded model?
Wow, Everything is up to date and running great! Thank you!
Note: I am asking the Devs to please get the legacy wifi working for cMP 5,1

Same here. Out of curiosity: What's the firmware version on your machine?
This one here is 426.0.0.0.0. Updating wont probably even make a huge difference.
updating to 13.1 rc no problem on 2014 again as I’ve posted before updating runs smoother than on Monterey when it would get stuck at 50% on installer till patched. Ventura running great for what I use again thanks to OCLP team considering they didn’t think they would have a patch for Ventura originally for a while it’s a massive achievement I think what they have managed so far so Thanks again .
System Firmware Version: 9999.999.999.999.999
OS Charger Version: 564.40.4~52
SMC version (system): 9,9999
Yes I know... I use OCLP 0.5.3 build from source. Spoofed to MacBookPro14,1 from MacBookPro12,1.
Hello to all,
Successfully installed 13.1 RC using OCLP 0.5.3n on iMac 13,2 (late 2012, 27" , 1TB original apple fusion drive, quad i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 GB). Software update downloaded OTA.
Internal drive is divided into three partitions, each of which "holds" a separate and bottable OS version: Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey, respectively.
No issues noted, so far, with any aspects of iMac's system operations or applications' performance.
Hope this note may be of help.

If you mean the network locations they are only accessible via the terminal for now AFAIK.
Locations will be visible under the Apple menu after you have created alternate locations.
See networksetup -help
Options are:
Code:
-listlocations list network locations
-createlocation create new network location
-getcurrentlocation display current network location
-deletelocation delete specified network location
-switchtolocation switch to specified network locationThank you for your reply. Its not a huge issue, however til Monterey it was possible to drag your preferred networks into a particular order:
I only stumbled across this, since Ventura always shows and tries to connect to an obsolete hotspot in personal hotspots in my case. I am sure I can solve this using the terminal and the .plist somehow.
