Pre Update Notes
:
- This update may break some of your Sonoma functions. Make sure you backup first. :thumbup:

Note: Before you update, make sure your USB ports are properly mapped. I recommend you use this procedure:

You may need to use the step by step way to update OC:

************
Somona 14.6 causes Problems to most hackintoshs unless you do the following:



************

- Make sure you use the latest versions of the Lilu.kext, AppleALC.kext and WhateverGreen.kext.

:ch:
Backup your current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper;

:ch:
Update to the latest OpenCore 1.0.0 or newer.
See the tonymacx86 Clover Builds (in Download menu) to update Clover. To update your OpenCore, see this guide. To convert from Clover to Open Core, see this guide.
:ch: Download OCAuxiliaryTools (OCAT):
https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools
:ch: Follow the OCAT Guide:
https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/blob/main/D_Updating_OpenCore/README.md
:ch: After completing the Update, reboot.
:ch: Upon reaching the Desktop, open the Terminal and execute:
Code:
nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version
Confirm you have updated OC to 1.0.0 or newer.

:ch:
Download the Sonoma 14.6.1. Update from Apple's Mac App Store using System Preferences > Software Update, and run it - the updater will reboot upon completion.
Note: Update will reboot three times; each time Clover/OpenCore picks the correct boot partition. So, sit back and relax. The update takes 3 reboots and ~30 minutes to complete.​



:ch:
Done!
:thumbup:





After updating, you can
  • Reset SecureBootModel to Default
  • Enable all WiFi and Bluetooth kexts if they've been updated.

macOS 14.6.1 (23G93) with OpenCore 1.0.1

Multiple OTA attempts failed this time unfortunately.
 
Worked, under OC 1.0.1 and latest kexts. I do not need to inactivate kexts or change security settings, but I have no wifi or bluetooth on this desktop.

Also updated the laptop to Ventura updater
an iPad and two iPhones.
 
Easy (but slow) update of Sonoma to 14.6.1 on my Asus X570 system.

In the time it took to complete the Sonoma update, I updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 17.6.1, and was back using my iPad well before the Sonoma update was finished.
 
Easy installation, no issues. Updated kexts and updated from 14.6

smooth update, nothing to mention.

Check your RAM...I spent all last weekend with this and other errors trying to update to 14.6 only to realise my DDR4 had gone bad (after checking with memtest86+).

OT - no issues this week with 2 new sticks of RAM!
