Also MBP11,1 now on 13.2.1, on external SSD.
Installed from USB installer.
Using latest OCLP 0.6.2n from 10 Feb.
Before doing the post-install patches, ran the Build-Binary.command.

Edit: forgot to mention that before post-install patches are applied, the screen resolution isn‘t correct, so characters etc are small but still readable. That is during installation and in booted Ventura prior to post-install patches.

The latest 0.6.2n is dated 2-11-2023, and there were a few changes from the 2-10-2023 version, but I don't think they were major changes, so if the 2-10 version worked, I don't think it is necessary to update it.

Hello to all,

Installed 13.2 and subsequently 13.3 beta1 on a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro 5,2 (17” C2D at 3.06 GHz, with 8 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB GPU, and Evo SSD).

Installation of 13.2 (over 13.2 betas) went smoothly; all functions expected to work did perform well with the exception of Siri. Clicking on the menu bar icon, or utilizing keyboard shortcut, did not activate Siri and siriactionsd spiked to 74% CPU time. It required a Force Quit command executed through Activity Monitor to stop siriactionsd from taking over the CPU. Disabling Siri in System settings did not stop runaway process. However, activation of “type to Siri” function in Accessibility, fully restores functionality, including voice response from Siri. There is no spike in siriactionsd activity, and (of course) no response to voice commands.
For Ventura installation on MacBook Pro 5,2 connecting an external keyboard and mouse, via a hub, is a necessity.
Neither Internal keyboard nor trackped will function after first boot; to login and subsequently root patch via OCLP requires external devices . Thereafter system is fully functional.

Installing 13.3 beta1 was similar to above described process, but did require an Ethernet connection.
There was no WIFI connection; the root patching with OCLP 0.6.2n (2.10.23 version) failed when the OCLP "attempted" to use 13.2 version of KDK kit. I connected Ethernet cable to the laptop and relaunched the OCLP. This time a new build of KDK was downloaded from apple and root patching proceeded without problems.
Siri voice command was not available (as noted for 13.2 installation), however, “Type to Siri” function, available through accessibility panel, worked as expected.
Stocks application crashes, as previously reported by others. Safari 16,4 fails to display webpage contents; initially it flashes all webpage content, then page turns blank. Dragging cursor across blank page does reveal individual frames with content, but only when cursor hovers over the spot. Firefox Developer Edition functions without apparent issues.

Installation on iMac 13,2 (late 2012) went without any problems. As of yet, I have not installed 13.3 beta1 on that machine. Will update once iMac is updated to 13.3 beta1.

Hope this report may be of help.

I wonder if this is the same bug as Monterey os had anyhow mid 2014 fails on AppleKeyStoreTest after patching on 13.3 beta.
Modded a usb of 13.2.1 to downgrade back to from 13.3 instead had to do from boot up.

Hi, I just want to report a success in updating iMac 12,2 (2011 27") with k3100m and stock wifi/bluetooth to Ventura 13.2.1.
Only one minor issue I can see is that the wifi setting is blank, I can access wifi connections by enabling the wifi in menu bar.
Aside from that, everything works. Actually I notice that the corner artifacts that I had in Big Sur and Monterey is gone. Corners are now eye-pleasing.
Thanks to all the devs, contributors, and testers of OCLP.

Edit: I am using OCLP 0.6.1

How do you guys were able to install the nightly version of 0.6.2? I went where it supposed to be located but there not installer available. There is also no step by step tutorial in how to do it. Do I need to install developer software?

Hello there!
I installed macOS Ventura 13.2 on my iMac 21,5 2015 late with OCLP. It worked well. But installed 13.2.1 with OTA, and after that the login screen appears, then the screen go black, then came back with the original ventura wallpaper and the cursor in the password window forzen. Can't write in anything and this screen flashing repeating. Usual things like NVRAM and SMC reset doesn't works. I don't want to delete my drive and reinstall if it possible. I used OCLP 0.6.1 with the working system, and have an usb drive with 13.2 on it. Can someone help me with this problem? Did you met with this situation early?

I made my Monterey recovery drive on Windows using the MacDrive trial version and a copy of the Monterey installer I saved before my MacBook died. It worked wonderfully where the Recovery option wouldn’t download Catalina to reinstall the default OS.

I keep a Big Sur partition on my drive for the just in case if not enough space you could always create a external drive to boot from with your current usb to download the update again

I just found out that my working MacPro 4,1 flashed as 5,1 with Ventura 13.2 now it boot to the Ventura wallpaper without any icons or mouse point to it. Does anybody have this issue? A perfectly working system now useless. I tried clearing the PRAM and this does not fix it.

This may be a little late, but it's worth paying attention to the warnings about pre-release versions of OCLP here.

Specifically:
  • Warning: These binaries should not be used ....
  • Users running new builds of the project without understanding what has changed are at higher of bricking their installation ...

It's best to apply OCLP patches to a separate, experimental volume and testing thoroughly before applying them to any production volumes.
