Smooth upgrade of my HackMini8,1 from Sequoia 15.2 (Release) to 15.3 (Release).  No issues.  Booting with OC 1.0.3.  Not using OCLP on this hack.  SIP fully enabled.  To initiate the incremental upgrade via OTA, I booted with BluetoolFixup.kext disabled and then enabled BluetoolFixup.kext for subsequent phases of the upgrade.

 

 

EDIT: And smooth upgrade of my HackBookPro6,2.  Posting this with Safari 18.3.  All good.  Patched with OCLP 2.2.0.  Booting with OC 1.0.3.

So my previous post with the "complaint" that the 15.3 Beta3 (24D60)

full installer does not appear has been resolved.
Now the final 15.3 has been released

@AlfredoM 15.3 Release is the same as RC 24D60.  On my Sequoia volume that I upgraded to 15.3 RC 24D60, I do not see a notification of the final Release (because the RC is the Release).  Notice that 24D60 build number is the same for the RC and the Release.

But it's always strange when you look in the info.plist, you see 24D57 in the final as well as in the RC... why is that?

Oh well, they'll release "update" 15.3.1 soon and fix it! 😁

15.2 to 15.3 1.XGB update failed after download, but followed by rechecking for updates and downloading the full file, the update was flawless.

If my betas have always worked like this the final version will not work perfect in OLD AND NEW:

Finally, I managed to update to 15.3. With a few difficulties: via SoftwareUpdate, the download time was really too long and was getting stuck. So I used MIST to download the Release.

Then I launched the installation on my SMBIOS MacPro6,1 OCLP.

I Did Clean Install To A Partition Sequoia On My iMac SSD Using OCLP USB

Everything Went Well

 

Did An Upgrade On Other Partition Of Ventura To Latest Version, Using OCLP USB

Everything Again, Went Well

 

Used Sequoia USB To Upgrade Ventura, Bad Move, Errored Out WTF!

Bye Bye Ventura, Just As Well I Had Time Machine

 

Restored The Stuffed Ventura Partition With The Sequoia Partition

 

I Should Add That In Order To Make The OCLP USB Drives, I Had To Run 2 

Instances Of OCLP As The First On Errors Out, Running The 2nd Instance Results

In A Workable USB, Go Figure

There are doubts that this method (OCLP USB Drive) is guaranteed to work in all situations (clean installation, update) and all macOS versions.

The time savings are minimal. I'd rather do it the old fashioned way: Clean install, then OCLP Patch; Update, then OCLP Patch...

Hi,

 

I am unable to upgrade Sequoia 15.2 to 15.3 on my Optiplex 9020.  The incremental update does not show up in the update window.  I have BluetoolFixup.kext disabled rebooted and the same story.

 

I am running Opencore 1.03 and everything else is working fine.  Any suggestions?

 

Cheers, Zevgoli

Hey,

 

Well this worked and I was able to download the 15.3 update.  However during the install it seized up after a couple of reboots at a screen with the apple logo and progress bar frozen.  I had to shut down and saw what would happen on the reboot.  The screen froze again at the exact same point.  I tried a recovery but was unable to recover the OS.  So tomorrow I will have to reinstall via the original USB stick and restore to 15.2 via Time Machine.  I’m not going to try and upgrade for the time being.

Hey,

 

After compressing and zipping the EFI its still 26MB in size.  So I cant upload.  I have attached the Config file instead.config.plist

Disable all Wifi/BT kexts until the end of the installation.
