[pre-release] macOS Monterey

@pet1 @obus

I don’t know if it’s correct to say that RestrictEvents in MP7,1 is only cosmetic and redundant. Without this kext, memory tab in About this Mac displays ghost memory slots that really don’t exist. Also there is a useful feature: installing RestrictEvents is a lot easier than fill in memory devices in config.plist.

OpenCore developers prefer RestrictEvents over memory devices when using MP7,1.

Congratulations for your new dGPU!

GeekBench score is really good.

Enjoy!

Easy Peasy

With the under-the-hood changes to OC 0.7.4 release version (compared to the earlier Betas), Monterey Beta9 was the smoothest update in weeks. 

 

No need to spoof j160 SecureBootModel to see the update, everything went smoothly with the 'Default' SecureBootModel.  

 

Many thanks to the OC developers for their continual progress.  And many thanks to Apple for Macintosh.

No issue here Beta 9 😁 OC 0.7.5

I'm on OC 0.7.4, but had to change from imacpro1,1 to imac19,1 to do the update.

 

Anyone know why imac19,1 would kill my streaming video and change some of my USB ports?

 

Any recommendation on a SBIOS for an I9 with Radeon 5700xt that would work with upgrades & my streaming video would still work?

[Derty]

OC 0.7.4 all correct

 

[chris1111]

Thank you @miliuco, I almost always use very low powerful graphics cards and never do geekbench graphics

and if you tell me that it is good I am happy

OC 0.7.4 official build includes features for fix Monterey updates without changing SecureBootModel or SMBIOS. Sure do you have last 0.7.4?

For most users, SecureBootModel as Default must work, it sets SecureBootModel as you have set SMBIOS model. Let Default and tune only SMBIOS.

 

i9 + RX5700XT is a good machine to have iMacPro1,1 or MacPro7,1 SMBIOS. But in theory it must work fine with iMac19,1 also.

iMac19,1 lacks DRM video from Safari and TV app fails. iMacPro1,1, and MacPro7,1 are able to fix DRM better.

 

Regarding BIOS, iMac19,1 can have iGPU enabled and set in headless mode in config.plist but the other 2 SMBIOS must have iGPU disabled in BIOS and no code for iGPU in config.plist.

Regarding USB ports, if you have USBMap.kext or USBPorts.kext you must change inside them the Info.plist file each time you change SMBIOS model to be the same. Remapping USB ports again is not necessary. Look at the kext (USBMap or USBPorts) >> Show package contents >> Contents >> open Info.plist file and look for 2 instances of Mac model to change them to the current SMBIOS model. Without this change, USB ports work in a different way.

@parttime - Changing to another Mac Model as you've discovered will alter the previous mapped USB layout, you'll need to remap the layout again or try this this one attached for 19.1 it may help if you don't want to go through the hassel.

To activate DRM to get streaming videos, see instructions inside the folder. Good luck.

 

PS - Don't forget to clean NVRAM after changes before booting to Desktop.

good info, thanks.

I'm positive on the 0.7.4, so this is odd.

I'll stick with iMacPro1,1....great info, thanks again

I was able to update b9 with the latest clover.

Thank you.
 

Did you have to use any trickery?
My laptop with smbios MacBookPro16,1 showed the update, downloaded the update but no matter how many times I tried it would not pass the first reboot, just kept going around and around in a reboot loop, had to use a usb with OC 0.7.4 to get it installed. Now that it’s installed clover boots it just fine. I did not change any settings but I did try adding RestictEvents kext with no luck.

Same deal with my AMD desktop, had to use OC 0.7.4 to finish the update but clover boots it just fine.

With my AMD machine I lost Ethernet again. Wish Apple would make there minds up. Luckily I do have a pci Ethernet card handy if the decide to stop us from using smalltree kext.

If you have 0.7.4, in theory SecureBootModel=Default and SMBIOS set as you prefer must work.

What's your SMBIOS?

Try SecureBootModel=Disabled.

Strange but true apparently it doesn't seem to work with everyone 🤔
