Updated flawlessly to beta 7. Z390 + 6600 XT + i9-9900. OpenCore 0.9.4 with OCLP AMFIPass.kext and root patch applied to get Fenvi wifi working SMBIOS: iMac19,1 without RestrictEvents. Full size update (not incremental). Here is a summary of Sonoma updates (thanks @Cyberdevs) referring to desktops using iMac, ImacPro or MacPro SMBIOS: 1. About getting update notifications iMac19,1 SMBIOS (T2 absent) gets Sonoma updates T2 SMBIOSes don’t get Sonoma updates T2 SMBIOSes with vmm setting (sbvmm, kernel patches or cpuid flag) get Sonoma updates. 2. About full or incremental updates OCLP root patched systems get full size updates systems without OCLP root patch (or root patch reverted): on all machines (T2 and not T2 models) RestrictEvents.kext and revpatch=sbvmm (or kernel patches or cpuid flag) are required to get the incremental update. Without this, they get full updates.

@Cyberdevs Thank you. Saved for next beta.

Good explanation, thanks. In summary: 1. About getting update notifications iMac19,1 SMBIOS (no T2) gets Sonoma updates T2 SMBIOSes don’t get Sonoma updates T2 SMBIOSes with vmm setting (sbvmm, kernel patches or cpuid flag) get Sonoma updates 2. About full or incremental updates OCLP root patched systems get full size updates not root patched systems or with root patch reverted get incremental updates. Do you think this is so?

I was able to update Ventura with OCLP 0.6.7 to Sonoma on an iMac 21" late 2015 (iMac16,2) using OCLP 0.6.9 (early preview of macOS Sonoma). There have been no issues and everything has gone as expected. This is the way I've done it. 1. Ventura download nightly build of OCLP 0.6.9 sonoma-development branch replace OCLP 0.6.7 with 0.6.9 create the EFI folder from OCLP 0.6.9, leaving OCLP default settings turn on macOS beta updates upgrade to Sonoma. 2. Sonoma OCLP asks to root patch for Modern Wireless, not for iGPU Broadwell, the reason is that Broadwell requires KDK download and this is not possible without wifi and internet connection (I don't use Ethernet) reboot >> there is wifi working but no graphics acceleration OCLP asks to root patch for Broadwell iGPU + Modern Wireless, this time downloading KDK and applying patches reboot >> there is wifi working and graphics acceleration. So far everything I've tried seems to work fine, Sonoma has a similar smooth operation to Ventura. Note: do not install OCLP version 0.6.8. To have wifi in Sonoma you have to install the nightly build from the sonoma-development branch, at least until both branches are merged. https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/pull/1077#issuecomment-1646934494

OpenCore 0.9.4 is out. Get it from Acidanthera. Main changes Kernel >> Quirks: fixed ForceAquantiaEthernet on macOS 14 beta 2. Kernel >> Quirks: improved LapicKernelPanic on legacy macOS. Misc >> Boot: added InstanceIdentifier to identify OC instance; added the ability to target .contentVisibility files to specific OC instances. Allowed .contentVisibility in the same boot FS root locations as `.VolumeIcon.icns`, in order to survive macOS updates (non-Apple files next to the Apple bootloader are removed by macOS updates). The .contentVisibility file may be placed next to the boot loader (BOOTx64.efi) or in the boot folder, e.g.: - /Volumes/{ESP}/EFI/BOOT/.contentVisibility - /System/Volumes/Preboot/{GUID}/System/Library/CoreServices/.contentVisibility As of now, it may also be placed in absolute root folders related to a boot entry, for example: - /System/Volumes/Preboot/{GUID}/.contentVisibility - /System/Volumes/Preboot/.contentVisibility - /Volumes/{ESP}/.contentVisibility. config.plist Misc >> Boot: added InstanceIdentifier (String). Default value is empty. Most of us are not going to use this new feature. Kexts AppleALC 1.8.4 BrcmPatchRAM 2.6.8 EmeraldSDHC 0.1.1 Lilu 1.6.7 NVMFix 1.1.1 WhateverGreen 1.6.6. Don't just look at the seemingly short list of changes, transparent to the user there are many more changes and fixes. Note: for people interested in the InstanceIdentifier new feature, please look at the OpenCore Configuration.pdf (section 8.1.1: Boot Algorithm and .contentVisibility file). The .contentVisibility file, when present, may optionally target only specific instances of OpenCore. Its contents are [{Instance-List}:](Disabled|Auxiliary). If a colon (:) is present, the preceding Instance-List it is a comma separated list of InstanceIdentifier values (example: OCA,OCB:Disabled). When this list is present, the specified visibility is only applied if the InstanceIdentifier of the current instance of OpenCore is present in the list. When the list is not present, the specified visibility is applied for all instances of OpenCore.

@Cyberdevs Ok. Noted for the next beta. I'll try and comment.

Hackintosh. Z390 in signature. On the iMac I do the same as you. On the PC everything has worked fine, I just wanted to tell you that, without reverting those config.plist changes required by OCLP, I only had full package update, without those changes with sbvmm I had true incremental update instead.

@Cyberdevs I tried yesterday but the only way to get incremental update to beta 4 was reverting to pre-OCLP values the items csr-active-config, SecureBootModel and boot-args. Reverting root patch was not enough for me, I was getting the full installer update. After updating, it's easy to recover the 3 values and apply root patch again.

Hello to all. Old friends here, @eSaF Thanks @Cyberdevs for this site.
