Here's the problem I'm having updating to 15.5.
Have the latest OCLP 2.4. already installed.
I then tried upgrading from 15.4.1 and right at the end of the completion of the download 15.5 it gives me a download error timed out. Clearly downloaded the whole file though.
I then switched from WiFi to Ethernet and has a direct connection.
Same thing?
I do not want to do a full reinstall, and just the upgrade.
Any suggestions?

On unsealed volumes every update is a full install. If the machine downloads just the delta update on an oclp OS, then something is wrong.

Macschrauber thank you for all you do.On unsealed volumes every update is a full install. If the machine downloads just the delta update on an oclp OS, then something is wrong.

I ended downloading for the fourth time in the middle of th night with less network traffic and this time it work.
I discovered an anomaly in regards to OCLP 2.4.0.
1. The goods news is that I'm able to connect to 5G, which in 2.3.2 I wasn't able to.
2. The bad news is that it doesn't automatically reconnect after a reboot, and I have to manually enter all the credentials, and simply doesn't cache the settings.
3. Another anomaly is that it constantly ask me to enter my account info to verify and goes through the option to upgrade to two authentication.
Just though I throw that out there.

My Logitech BRIO 4K now fully works, indeed ! Fantastic and thank you so much to OCLP team ! 🙏🏻
Than you folks here too.
I'm still running Sequoia 15.2 (24C101) on my cMP 5,1 (2010).
Any major bugs with the update 15.5 ?

I have updated 3 of my cMP 4.1>5.1 to 15.5
The only thing I have noticed is Prime Video does not work, and the latest Adobe Lightroom/Bridge requires AVX2 so it won't install/load.
On one of my cMPs Safari and App Store don't load, but this could be due to OCLP config. However I won't be able to trouble shoot this for a while as it's in a remote location.
All good 15.5 in my machine.

After 15.5 on my Mac 5,1 with OCLP 2.4.0. all was well, no probs.
I did the 15.6 on my MacPro retina 2013 and (also with OCLP 2.4.0) and that went well, so after a few days, I tried it on my 5,1 and blooey! X%@#´´´´´´X*!!! etc
Eventually I got it installed and all the things that niggle started appearing, Blue tooth keeps turning off, Numbers won't work half the time and so on, can't add items to login in preferences and jeez! The 15.5 upgrade was easy, the 15.6 is trying my patience, I'll go for a fresh start I think...

I went to download 15.6 again via OCLP and the version there is 15.7
So I'll run that from the applications folder and see how I go....

Last post on this, the above is for folk who may find this trial and error faffing around, helpful.
The Monterey was on a different SSD. Once that was OK on 15.6, I returned to the orginal SSD which was 15.6/7 and started again, it worked this time, as I was booted into the Monterey/15.6 and then I installed 15.6 onto the 15.6/7 - now it's 15.6 and happy as a lamb.

Looking forward to the day I make the move to a new Mac.After some mature deliberation and as I have to be in two countries, back and forth, I've retired the Mac Pro 5,1 and instituted a Mac mini 8,1. Now to work out, how to run Win 11 on a USBC NVMe.
But I can't complain for a workhorse running flawlessly on Pro Tools for more that 14 years.😀
I will surely always have the 5,1 as a backup.
for those who may be interested, running win11 on a bootcamp partition on a Mac mini 8,1 with Sequoia works fine. Trying to install DCSWorld on an external USB C nVME from Windows, impossible. I'm gonna get a gaming PC and abandon this dual boot foolery.
Anyone with Bluetooth problems on 15.7.1? What is the latest 15.x version that works fine on 5,1?
I'm running 15.5 very stable on my 5,1...via OCLP installed. of course.
Using the OTA upgrade option, I was able to upgrade my Safari to 26.0.1 yesterday.
But I've delayed the main OS 15.7.1 upgrade.
I didn't bother with the 15.6 update....kind of waiting to see what everyone who makes the 15.7.1 upgrade on a 5,1 thinks before giving it a shot.

So, you have BlueTooth and WiFi working on 15.5 with stock card? Does USB webcam also works? It was my naive mistake to jump from fully functional Sonoma directly to 15.7.1. Now I am without BT, wifi see networks but can't connect and USB webcam is again broken.
So, I am trying to see is it wiser to reinstall with 15.5 or just wait for OCLP 2.4.2 that could possibly fix this?
Sorry, I dont have BlueTooth or Wifi working on my 5,1. I never upgraded the hardware.
For my purposes, neither was needed.
I don't have a USB Webcam that was certified for Mac OS, so that's also a no for me.
