Hi @fbud, USB Ports: I also experienced USB issues when I did a fresh install of Sonoma 14.1 (I have not updated yet to 14.1.2); only 'some' of the USB ports were working - fewer ports than in Monterrey (but at least some ARE working). I would appreciate it if you could share the USBkext - as...

Hi, I used the Sonoma/OC 0.9.6 EFI (with my own HW IDs) and successfully updated to OpenCore 0.9.6, while still on macOS Sonoma 14.1 (23B74). Many thanks @snoopy69 for sharing the 'vanilla EFI'. I also enabled vt-d in BIOS. All is running well. The Software Update (to Sonoma 14.1.1) does not...

@dclive - Many thanks for the info - I'll check out BIOS 3004, and also enable VT-d as @pastrychef noted.

Thanks for the advise: when I clicked on More Info... only a web page opened in the default browser providing more info on Sonoma - so this option did not provide me to install the Monterey delta update. This is why I posted in this forum. I read that others succeeded with Sonoma install on...

Hi, I am (still) on macOS Monterey (12.6.1) - I am happy with Monterey for now - not considering to update to Sonoma. I would like to update to Monterey 12.7 though. If I check for Software updates I only see macOS Sonoma, there's no other option (to update from 12.6.1. to 12.7) - I do not know...

Hi Pastry and All, I have not seen any posts about updating the system to macOS Monterey 12.4. Is it a smooth process on a hackintosh using the Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (Wi-Fi AC) motherboard? Many thanks!

Hi Pastry and All, I was using Monterey 12.2 and OC 0.77. When I run a Software Update check in System Preferences - I got the message that my mac is "up to date (there was no warning about the availability of 12.3.1 - not sure why), anyway: I updated to OC 0.79 - using the ".ZIP" from post...

Thanks for the brief explanation regarding the cons of the Samsung SSDs when running Monterey, will consider your advise!

Hi Pastry, It's a success! (No, I have not ever seen the OpenCore Boot picker earlier, but after creating a brand new usb pedrive - 16GB this time instead of a 32GB - copying the EFI partition after creating a bootable Monterey install - finally - succeeded! Many thanks for the simple - but...

Hi, I tried to install Monterey on my system using the EFI OC 0.7.6 from post one (added my System Serial, UUID, Board serial, MAC address). Created a pendrive using the createinstallmedia process to create a bootable pendrive and then used EFI configurator to replace the EFI on the pendrive. In...

Many thanks Pastry for the advise - being able to install the latest and greatest apps is definately a plus towards having the latest possible OS. I decided to create a bootable usb pendrive with the OC.efi (post #1) and Monterey (from app store). I tried to use OCconfigurator to add the...

Hi, I am still running Catalina on this golden built (ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-G Gaming Wi-Fi AC) - with the Colver that was available back in September 2020 - when i installed Catalina from scratch. All is still running well, all Catalina updates are also imstalled. Both Big-Sur and Monterey has...

Hi, I am trying to do a fresh install of macOS Catalina 10.16.7. I have the complete installation package from the app store. I have a 16GB pendrive freshly erased/formated (GUID partition map, Mac OS extended (journaled). Downloaded the latest Unibeast for Catalina to create a bootable pendrive...

Thank you for the quick answer, yes, I'll use my current Serial, Board Serial, and UUID (as I did before when updating to Mojave). I hope that the current EFI (posted in the first page of this thread - truly appreciated by the way!) may also be used in case there'll be any supplemental update to...

Hi, I am - finally - planning to update my "ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING (WI-FI AC)" machine to Catalina (currently I am still running Mojave) with a fresh install (based on the latest available 10.15.6 installer package). Would you recommend to use the "EFI Clover r5117 Z370G (Catalina).zip" for...
