deeveedee Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Apple reported record "active device installs" for the last quarter. I wonder if we're included in that device count. Edited February 1 by deeveedee 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Ok, against my better judgment, plus I had bugger all else to do, coupled with the warnings in mind to stay away from this latest Beta, I thought what the heck lets have another go but this time methodically. I downloaded the full Beta install and made a USB Installer. Made an Vanilla OC EFI Folder, no OCLP patches, with just the minimum ACPI Files and kexts, all the very latest versions. At the completion of the Installer USB, I added the EFI Folder to the USB and started the install to the SSD Disk. There was nothing unusual about the install, no hang ups, no panics, just the normal 3 or so reboots then the normal registration and on to the Desktop. Adding the same vanilla EFI Folder to the EFI Partition to the Disk to boot without the aid of the USB, the Boot Time was comparable to 14.3 released which is heavily patched. Now this is where the situation changed. Adding the OCLP patches and rebooting, the system took a frustrating amount of time to boot to the point of hanging forcing a hard reset a few times. Removing the Patches, cleaning NvRAM at least twice, the system would boot normally. I have decided to leave this Beta 14.4 install on the Disk in this Vanilla state and wait for either OCLP to be amended to suit and/or wait for the next Beta release to try and update over it. The message to stay away from this Beta 14.4 is absolutely spot on. BTW, Ethernet is available and functions well if you can live without WiFi and all it entails. I for one and what it is worth, am not happy unless it's the 'Full Monty' (English Saying 🙂). Edited February 3 by eSaF 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) @AlfredoM - Hello old friend, happy to see you're still around and fighting the good fight. Sorry folks, just like when Sonoma was first introduced with all its initial difficulties, the Forum conversation tends to veer off the subject matter of which I am probably the biggest culprit. For that I duly apologize for the mis-step and pray a viable solution is found soon to fix this new Beta bug. Edited February 3 by eSaF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maly70 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 If that is the case my friend, then you're the only one I have come across with a true success story with 14.4 b1 and OCLP. As far as it goes, even real Macs that OCLP is really intended for are not having your level of claimed success. It'd be interesting to know if your machine has full WiFi, B/Tooth functionality including Continuity and AirDrop. If these features are missing then we can't truthfully claim that all is well, but if you're happy with what you have, then no worries. I have Sonoma 14.3 installed on my machine and everything works as in Ventura i.e AirDrop, Continuity from Webcam to iPhone Camera which I love using in F/Time and WhatsApp. Those aforementioned apps simply will not work without functioning WiFi. I have a Vanilla install of Beta 14.4 b1 that boots well until OCLP patches are applied to get WiFi, this is where things goes sideways with the install. Yes Ethernet works but that's about it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloverLeaf Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your Hack's Spec i.e Laptop/Desktop also Connection i.e WiFi B/T card. These details would go a long way to help others (including myself) to understand the situation. Posting success posts coupled with a few pics just doesn't cut it to help others. If you have then please accept my apologies. Cheers. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
