I bet, with no WiFi and or B/Tooth making apps such as AirDrop, Continuity between on board Camera and iPhone etc, etc.

Of course if you don't use those features then you're all set as half baked as it maybe.

Let us hope as before the OCLP Devs can once again bring back and give us those functions in Sonoma, but I guess they'll come a time when that won't be feasible. 

TRUE   sir  !
I did this installation on a test SSD after having created a boot key, thanking Mr Maldon for the Sonoma 14.3 image on which I did not modify anything in the EFI obtained and finally arrived on the desktop but it was not was just a test and came back on sonoma 14.3
Waiting for improvements no wiffi no bluetooh etc....

@eSaF i don't use wifi couse oclp brake my LAN and i need it...so its not really the same thing...i dont use wifi from 14.2...so...

[Skyfallkavu]

It isn't just WiFi that's broken, looks like OCLP patching is broken completely even on real macs.

 

Work is being committed on the github. They just patched SPI keyboard/trackpads back in last night.

Hmmm......this update is a bit of a troublesome one.  That happens....(anybody remember the first release of Big Sur?)

 

I am currently on an Asus Z490-A (due to a recent motherboard failure) with a Gigabyte 6900 graphics card and 64 gb of memory.  OC 0.9.7 (debug). 

 

Sonoma 14.3 works fine, but with this beta, I am not getting anywhere.  I am able to get it to start to load and install, but then the screen goes black and then there's no progress.  No error message, no rebooting, it's just sitting there right now, doing nothing (and at this point, no disk activity either)

 

I do not have OCLP installed (I use ethernet and don't really need OCLP).  I tried changing from Default to Disabled with an NVRAM reset, but still no go.....

 

Any thoughts out there?

Can't install on 2 systems

 

- After downloading the update, the system restarts

- Installer does something

- Reboots then the main System partition starts

- It says it's installing

- Once it finishes, I am stll on 14.3 and the macOS Install volume is still there

- If I try to boot from the installer again, I get the prohibit sign

 

I think Apple might have changed something again in the installer.

Disabling SecureBootModel resulted in the installer working (after re-downloading) but installing the os resulted in soft-bricking my laptop.Then I had to download 14.3 on my other laptop, creata a bootable USB flash drive, boot from that, create a new volume and install 14.3 on it. After that I will move all the relevant files over and kill the old volume. So: stay away from 14.4 beta 1.

[meg2014]

I have backed off of this beta (14.4 beta 1) and have gone back to 14.3.  I htink it's best (for me at least) to wait this out and see if it gets any better later on.  This one needs some finishing to smooth out the rough spots.

Apple reported record "active device installs" for the last quarter.  I wonder if we're included in that device count.

Hi mates

I got 14.4 installed with intel ax210 installed with new kext file, i had no usb and mouse working, when I changed OC with 0.9.7 version and AirportItlwml wifi kext for Sonoma 14.4 b1, I can now get into desktop with wifi.  Intel wifi for 14.4 b1. I applied open core patcher 1.4.0 made on jan 30(cause I only have Kepler card and worked like a Sharm

Dear all,

when I installed sonoma14.4 b1(as I mentioned above) OCLP works good with patching 14.4 no issues but, I understand from my experience with 14.4 , u need to have it installed in a new partition(not updating current version). OCLP is working as it is(I used the latest 1.4.0 that was created Jan 1 2024.

just to let you know in case it helps

Hmmm, okay this is the first beta that doesn't work at all on my Coconut rig. Tried disabling the wi-fi/bt kexts hoping that the problem will be fixed but...nada. Nuts! Verbose doesn't work simply because something goes wrong after switching to apple logo/black screen after verbose. So I will be reverting to 14.3 or wait for the official release/fix for this one. Haven't tried fresh install.
