macOS 14 Sonoma on Unsupported Macs Thread

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
@m4v3r1ck I think what you're looking for is discussed in This post. I don't disable/delete RestrictEvents.kext (I never experienced the unwanted macOS upgrade). If you do need to prevent the macOS upgrade facilitated by RestrictEvents.kext, you should be able to delete the revpatch=sbvmm NVRAM property from your OC config.plist. This change may affect other things, so experiment with your changes and confirm proper operation of your apps. Note that any customizations you make to the OC config.plist and to LaunchAgent/LaunchDaemon plists may be lost when you use OCLP again.

EDIT: Read more about RestrictEvents.kext here.

EDIT2: if this is TLDR, the OCLP plists you want to delete are in /Library/LaunchDaemons and /Library/LaunchAgents. Understand that any changes you make will likely need to be performed again every time you use OCLP.

Just applied macOS Sonoma Version 14.5 (Build 23F5064f), following post root patching (OCLP 1.5.0n), all good so far.

Installed Sonoma 14.4.1, with OCLP 1.4.3. on my 2011 iMac 27, everything was fine, except. After few hours of sleep, well actually is the screen turn off, and when I wake it up, graphic was scattered around and with broken images, like I have a broken GPU.
My GPU was replaced few years back with a Quadro K5100M, and I was using Monterey since then and all was good until I updated to 12.7.4 and broke again. Then I decided to go to Sonoma. Few days with Sonoma and broken graphic problems after wakeup from sleep, I rolled back to Monterey 12.7.3.
I also tried Sonoma with 1.5.0n, same problem.

I'm facing the same problem on MBP mid 2012 running 12.7.4 + OCLP 1.4.3, did going back one version from Monterey solve the problem?

Thank you for the reply and yes I was looking for the answer in EDIT2, appreciated. Before I start fiddling with these, I need to address yet another issue regarding bootpicker with unflashed Radeon RX 580 8GB. No more booting into macOS Venture / Monterey. Will make a post about that in the Ventura sub forum.

No usb wifi here sorry. I did not revert patches before updating, the rMBP10,1 came up with no graphic acceleration on first login, OCLP prompted to apply root patches, applied AOK. I surmise from that the update blew the previous ones away, i.e. so not a trivial OTT update this one.

Anyone using a cMP 4,1>5,1 with OCLP 1.4.3 and macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 have an idea why the system crashes/freezes when display goes to sleep, and any advice on how to prevent this? Also happens when running W11Pro. At the moment I'm having to shut down my cMP to prevent these issues, which is not ideal as it's my main production 'puter - used for design, video editing, coding, emails and web browsing.


In Sonoma, I have set my logon and Apple ID to one of a default static icon (the archery target). I have my background set to a static photo with "Show on all Spaces is" set to on. The screensaver is set to "Message", with just the default setting (the name of my cMP) and "Show on all Spaces" set to on. Only one display (as per my sig) connected via DP, and I seldom use Spaces. Energy settings are set to prevent sleep when the display goes off, hard drives are not set to sleep, wake for network access is on, and to restart automatically in the event of a power failure. Crashes happen regardless of whether the computer screen is set to go to sleep or I turn the monitor off.


One indicator my cMP has crashed, other than the keyboard not responding when pressing the spacebar, is the keyboard caps lock (if it was on) is off, and it won't toggle back on if I press it. The cMP's power button LED is always showing on (and I can hear the fans quietly spinning) but I have to eventually hard reset by holding it down for 5 seconds. Another indicator is often the LEDs on the Logitech mouse are off (they're always-on when the cMP is running).

I am running RefindPlus (MyBootMgr 097) with the EFI>OC_EXT instance for Sonoma created from OCLP v1.4.3. The issues with waking after the monitor goes to sleep and/or putting the cMP to sleep is a fairly new thing - perhaps when I updated to OCLP 1.4.x.

I first reported the matter on post 5413, and having searched around can’t seem to find a solution or even confirm if it’s just my system or if others are having the same issue. The Apple error report often shows VTDecoderXPCService as being implicated. Suggestions sought, but solutions very welcomed.
 
Updated cMBP mid-2009 to 14.5b3 via OTA and nothing to report.

In case this may help others, I wasn't be able until now to build the OCLP app following by the book the nightly page (be it using python 3.10 or 3.11). I could launch the .command from the Developer/Patcher folder and update it and then root patch it afterwards (with a little hack but let's keep it short). But this time root patching wouldn't work (crash after providing the password), so I tried to solve the building error ("md__mypyc.cpython-31x-darwin.so is not a fat binary!"). It turns out that after a search the solution was relatively simple: edit requirements.txt and add a line "charset_normalizer<3.0" (issue #562 "Use older version of charset_normalizer to allow universal macOS binary to build" from github.com/machawk1/wail ). Now with the buit app I can update *and* root-patch 1.5.0n.

I would suggest you post on the OCLP Discord where the developers are active.
