Issue with OSX Sonoma updates *No new updates*

[Petrak1s]

Hello all,

In the past months I've noticed that my build does not receive new updates for Sonoma. And so far I've been updating the OSX with all updates available with no issue since the initial deployment of Mojave 13.0.

Is it because my "Mac" is no longer supported? But if so, why did I manage to upgrade to 14.0?

Attached are two screenshots showing the configuration and the update screen.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Try RestrictEvents.kext, together with the boot-arg revpatch=sbvmm.

No such thing called "OSX Sonoma" and Mojave is version 10.14.

You could also try switching SMBIOS to iMacpro1,1. The MacPro7,1 setting may be part of your problem. Remember to switch back to your original Macpro7,1 SMBIOS setting after downloading the update to avoid problems with your USB mapping, etc.

No, MacPro7,1 is fine, I use it myself.

I also use MacPro7,1 and don’t get any issues updating macOS Sonoma. I’m using boot-arg revpatch=cpuname,pci,sbvmm, updated to 14.3 this week!.

Good to know.

Thank you for the suggestion, I changed the SMBIOS to MacPro1,1, but maybe that I missed something, because after reboot the system does not boot. See attached screenshot. I have Backup of the config.plst, but I am not sure how to restore it. It is located at the EFI partition.

... I changed the SMBIOS to MacPro1,1

Do you mean that? Or did you use MacPro7,1 ??

MacPro1,1 will not work for you.

That should be iMacPro1,1 (note the 'i'!) or MacPro7,1, not the original MacPro1,1 of the PowerPC era.
