You must know device-id or chipset serie, in the OCLP docs are detailed:

• device-id pci12e4,43ba >> BCM43602
• device-id pci12e4,43e3 >> BCM4350
• device-id pci12e4,43a0 >> BCM4360
• device-id pci12e4,4331 >> BCM94331
• device-id pci12e4,4353 >> BCM943224
• device-id pci12e4,4357 >> BCM43225
• device-id pci12e4,43B1 >> BCM4352
• device-id pci12e4,43B2 >> BCM4352 (2.4 GHz).

If yours is in the list, it's supported by OCLP root patch.

Thank you. I will look it up

Wow, looks like a sonoma +1 year solution.

What do you thinking about apply this hack trick to BCM94360CS2 ?

You don't harm anything trying it.
Follow the guide preparing config.plist.
Get the latest OCLP 1.0.1.
Run it >> Post install root patches >> if it says Modern Wireless, apply it >> reboot.
If the wifi doesn't work, open OCLP >> Root patches >> revert root patch and revert also config.plist changes.

@brainstormer
No, I have no such issue. Is there any repeated condition when the crash happens? I don’t think so since you write random crashes.
Upload your config.plist.

Sure, attaching the config. Apologies for the delay, was away on a vacation.

Not sure if it helps:

• add MaxKernel=22.99.99 to NVMeFix.kext (I think Sonoma is only partially supported by this kext)
• generate your own USB ports map to be used instead of USBInjectAll.kext
• igfxonln=1 boot arg is intended for when the iGPU is the main or single card, if the RX 580 is driving the display remove this boot arg
• iMac19,2 doesn't need RestrictEvents.kext, try without it.

One change at a time to check if one of them is the culprit.

Could be the reason I am having finder stuck in Sonoma a couple times?

@guindillas
Maybe. This kext has been updated to Sonoma but there is code still needing changes. Try without it. I’ve tried without the kext and Sonoma runs fine.

Thanks a LOT, you save a soul today!

I did an install and put my wifi Broadcom to work yesterday, but Microsoft Teams doesn't work properly and I really need this in my job. AMFIPass.kext was a great tip to solve the problem!

Thanks again!

@Romacs
Glad to read you. AMFIPass.kext 1.4.0 doesn't need -amfipassbeta boot arg.
