Safari 26 Beta 7 for Sonoma (14.6 or newer):
I'm having the same problem: stuck on the "forbidden" symbol with the startup URL at the bottom of the screen, at the same point in the installation. This is with OCLP 2.4.1 attempting to install 14.7.8 (23H370) on a MackbookPro5,3 (mid-2009) currently running 13.7.7. I've downloaded the installer through OCLP and used the same OCLP to create a USB stick.Good morning,
I have a late 2009 21.5" Imac (10,1) currently running Ventura 13.6 and trying to install Sonoma 14.4.1 utilizing OCLP 1.4.3 and a USB installer. Everything is fine until I get to rebooting while holding the alt/option key. click on the USB EFI Boot icon and then the 'install Sonoma' icon. So far so good, but before it takes me to the recovery screen I get the forbidden sign (circle with diagonal thru it) and the wording "support.apple.com/mac/startup".
I'm using a wired keyboard and mouse and have already tried a different USB and downloading a second time the installer.
Can'f find this problem in the troubleshooting section of Github.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Jim
Try a different USB flash drive. Yours may be failing macOS disk integrity checks.I've downloaded the installer through OCLP and used the same OCLP to create a USB stick.
Good call. Good quality sticks are essential for this, in my experience.Try a different USB flash drive. Yours may be failing macOS disk integrity checks.
Thanks, will do. Do you know if the Sonoma integrity checks are stricter than the Ventura ones? This same USB stick was successfully used to install Ventura 13.7.8 a month ago, so I'd be surprised if the flash memory inside had suddenly gone bad.Try a different USB flash drive.

You're probably right, but having been in tech support for a long time, the vast majority of going bad does happen suddenly. It tends to follow the pattern:Thanks, will do.

Updated to 14.7.7 on macbook pro 11,2 and OCLP 1.4.2 with Intel graphics through OTA. No issues.
Good Job. I borked mine on the 2012.. I forgot one of the USB ports is bad and had the 14.8 stick in it. Had to wipe it and start over.Upgrade OTA (OCLP 2.4.1) to 14.8 on a Mac Mini 2014, MBP 15" 2015 and MBA 2017.
So far this is the last KDK released for Sonoma, I will install the Sonoma 14.7.7 version to match this KDKI just wanted to post here, since no one else seems to have, that the 14.7.7 KDK is available, re-apply root patches to install it. I did earlier today, and everything is running smooth.
Boot Safe Mode and try USB upgrade again? Are you on latest version of Ventura?Any ideas?
Before trying the upgrade again, boot into Recovery, run Disk Utility, then check all the partitions to see if First Aid reports any problems.This volume can't be downgraded
Yeah I'm trying to do it now OTA from 14.8....hope this goes ok.. it was being really unresponsive in Settings Software Updates... thought for a bit maybe it was doing the Tahoe update as that button was greyed out like I had clicked it but I know I didn't..Preparing...35 min left. We'll see..

Yeah me too.. I just had re-imaged this one too cuz the last update got borked.. Didn't really want to go thru all that again.. I haven't setup Time Machine backup yet for it. Need to get another drive for that.The GUI for updates in Settings Software Update is indeed a true PITA due to its unresponsiveness. Glad your update was successful.
