[pre-release] macOS Sonoma

[miliuco]

Really easy update.

Notified by Software Update.

iMac19,1 + OpenCore 0.9.5 + no RestrictEvents + OCLP root patch (so full size update).

So far (after root patch again) all is working fine.

I've the problem that during the update via settings the Update exits with the following error message: the update cannot be installed on this computer

My smbios is iMacPro1,1. From the last versions of macos i checked things which made problems in versions before: SMBIOS (Firmware and Bios Version), OpenCore SecureBootModel is default (also tried j137), SIP is enabled, already tried to disable it, also updated HfsPlus.efi to the latest version.

 

Does anybody has a clue?

It is not working in Sonoma.

Set SMBIOS as iMac19,1

SecureBootMode is disable

SIP is partially disabled or fully enabled

HfsPlus.efi will not influence of system messages. It works in early boot time.

Thanks it was the SecureBootModel, with Disabled it now downloads. (Doesn't tried it because i previous versions there where problems with it, it had to be Default)

But now it isn't a incremental update anymore, will see if it now works.....

Apple writes that iMacPro is still supported.

Yes, supported but you forget to say that hackintosh is not Apple's computers. The main difference is T2 chip which is present om iMacPro and absent on iMac19,1.

So why we can update Sonoma on iMac19,1 and can't on iMacPro1,1.

I have a problem with updating RC1. It freezes at the percentage for the last 10 minutes every time. So I tried to install it again. Last beta before RC1 The result turned out to be the same as that time at 10 minutes.
Later, I ran out of ways to solve the problem. So I went to Ventura and updated Sonoma. It's the last beta before RC1. After that, it was able to update to SOnoma RC1 and then to RC2 with success.

According to Apple, these Intel Mac computers have Apple T2 security chip:

• iMac (2020)
• Mac Pro (2019)                                            
• Mac Pro (Rack, 2019)
• Mac mini (2018)
• MacBook Air (2020)
• MacBook Air (2019)
• MacBook Air (2018)
• MacBook Pro (2020)
• MacBook Pro (2019)
• MacBook Pro (2018)
• iMac Pro (2017).

iMac19,1 (March 2019 - Minimum macOS 10.14.4) isn't in the list because it has no T2 chip.

It's really {censored} that imac Pro cant be used.

This was the only smbios where drm content was working with my graphics card.

I think that iMacPro1,1 can be use, of course, but you don't get updates notification, already said that most probably caused by this model having T2 security chip but the Hack doesn't.

To get updates notification, you must add RestrictEvents.kext and revpatch=sbvmm in boot args. Once updated, you can disable RestrictEvents until next release.

SecureBootModel --> Disabled

NVRAM -> 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 -> revpatch -> cpuname,sbvmm

using RestrictEvents.kext

 

as Wifi I have a Fenvi T-919 I have to use OCLP, so I disable the patch I reboot and do the update, if I don't do this procedure I get the full update

You can keep DRM.

But I have partial DRM (at least TV app working fine) with iMac19,1 on a RX 6600 XT with unfairgva=6 in boot args.
