It doesn't make sense to me that anyone should need to manually build the patcher.  Are you saying that you downloaded OCLP from here (link labeled Nightly.link: OpenCore-Patcher.app (Sonoma Development) ) and that did not work for you?

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying, the root patching didn't work on my MacBookPro using that build.

@deeveedee

Just to be fair that build works ok on hackintoshes, what I'm saying is that it didn't work on my MacBookPro and only failed to patch the graphics, but did patch the WiFi.

On another note I did remove the AirportBrcmFixup.kext on my MacBook and BT and WiFi work just fine. I tested the AirDrop and it worked too.

[deeveedee]

@Cyberdevs that does make sense - there were Haswell commits yesterday. 
 

I'm not sure what AirportBrcmFixup.kext does except for renaming PXSX to ARPT (which, unless I'm mistaken, won't change anything on a real Mac).  I understand the roles of the plugins, but don't fully understand the role of the parent kext (except to be a container for the plugins).

Yes, I just compiled the build and made the GUI app for yesterdays commits and compared the original build vs mine and the original build is 512MB and the build i just made is 516.2 MB so clearly there is something missing.

And about the AirportBrcmFixup.kext I'm not sure maybe that's required for hacks but not for real Macs because even without it my WiFi is shown as ARPT in IOReg.

I use AirportBrcmFixup parent kext for changing country code, no country code injected without it (I set country code via DeviceProperties).

I hope these are not actual sizes (for both)

Setting the min kernel was enough to fix the kp in Ventura.
Wifi chip size is almost correct and the screw driver prob will be that small lol

Hey Guys, Looking for help here. So I made another EFi with the changes needed for the Broadcom BCM4360 M.2 wifi card. I can boot into Sonoma but I get black screen for 5 minutes before Sonona actually loads, when it loads it shows patches are done but I have no more bluetooth, network cards and yes no wifi as well. Config attached. If I re-install Sonoma (3rd time going now) I can boot is fast like Ventura.

@surenmunoo There are no Bluetooth kexts usually required for Broadcom cards (BlueToolFixup, etc) included in BrcmPatchRam. What you added is for Wifi only. I am still uncertain, if AirportBrcmFixup is still required as well or not.

I normally don't use any bluetooth kexts and it just works. I am in Sonoma now, a fresh install of beta 4 and bluetooth and both 2.5G and 10G network ports work and show in Hackintool, just no wifi but after I apply the OCLP patch, all these stop working and disappear and only way to get it back is a fresh install again, even undoing the patch does not help. Hence I am stuck

This is with a fresh install of Sonoma now, everything except wifi works.

 

[cankiulascmnfye]

@surenmunoo Add AirportBrcmFIxup (disable the plugin kexts) for testing.

I have an app that I use daily that require SIP to be fully disabled.  Can someone who has wifi working please test this csr-active-config to see if it works with the OLCP patch?

 

csr-active-config=6F020000

 

Thanks.

AFAIK the bit 0x800 needed for OCLP so

<6F0A0000> at least.

Must I disable all the added IOkexts only?

[cankiulascmnfye]

@surenmunoo In the notes of the Sonoma OCLP Development bracnh it says, that you still have to apply root patches with OCLP 068 afterwards to make it work:

[surenmunoo]

@cankiulascmnfye Sorry but a stupid question from me, The highlighted says to only run OCLP patch once the kexts and changes are injected so from my view must this be done after I create the EFI and a reboot then I run the OCLP patch? If yes, after I create the EFI and reboot then I have not network, no bluetooth, no thunderbolt as per my screenshot above. This all disappears when I boot with the edited EFI before running the patch. Or do I create the EFI, run the patch and then reboot?

@surenmunoo Root patching affects macOSes system partition, not the EFI. So, if you've created a fresh install of macOS or upgraded or updated. You have to re-apply the patches with OCLP.

I am creating the fresh install from Ventura using my normal EFI, system installs Sonoma using my normal EFI that I boot into Ventura with which does not have these IOkext changes etc. After Sonoma is installed, I reboot and select the EFI that I created which has the edits and then that's where the problem starts, takes long to boot after verbose, I get black screen for 5 minutes, then Sonoma starts and I have no ethernet, BT etc. Do I still run the patch with none of those things showing.

 

Thanks for your time and help to fix this mate 👍

If I turn off this in kernel, Block then I can boot quickly into Sonoma and network and win etc works. I enable it again and it blocks everything for me

I saw your config plist, and maybe you should try exclude UsbinjectAll.kext because you already have Usbports.kext and mapping (I guess) so, this cause conflicts.

 

In your MOBO are you have only one Fenvi Card combo, or have another (onboard like intel) original from your MOBO model? 

 

I was have issues with Z790 usb ports, nothing fixes until make my on SSDT Mapping ports like OC Little Translate USB Mapping from Git Hub user

That's truth but it's possible give conflicts if he used Reset DSDT to remap his usb ports. 

 

Im broke my head and hours and days until fix that with one tutorial from USB Map OC Little Translate from Git Hub MF* user

 

It's hard but work. 

 

 

Z790 is different and complicated MOBO series.

I'm still stuck on Sonoma beta1 for a reason. Some programs cannot be used on Sonoma beta2 or later.
Also I patched with OCLP 0.6.8 but no luck, network not showing on Fenvi T919, am I doing something wrong?

There have been plenty of ways posted to get the full installer for each beta, no reason to be stuck on beta 1. For the wifi patching to be successful you will need to update to the latest beta and follow the instructions.

To fix the black screen delay take a look at whatever green, in particular the boot args attached.
For wifi follow the instructions carefully and as long as you have a supported chip it will work. Just takes some tinkering and patience.
Make sure you set the min and max kernel for the OCLP Kexts to be able to boot Ventura still.
Make sure you set the nvram correctly amfi and secure boot and exclude the skywalk kext from macOS.
As previously mentioned the OCLP patcher patches your macOS installation, not your EFI folder. So if your using multiple EFI’s make sure the one you use for Sonoma has the correct settings and Kexts. Don’t forget to clean NVRAM.

For my laptops I need to use -igfxblr and -igfxblt I believe and this corrected the black screen delay.

@DMhackintosh

Set IOSkywalkFamily before IO80211FamilyLegacy in config.plist order. 
Did you set all as per OCLP readme?

Is this patch something I could limit to Sonoma only as I have Windows 11, Ventura and Sonoma on the same drive?
