In this tutorial guide, I explain step by step how you can install the latest macOS 14 Sonoma on your older, unsupported Mac, by using OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
Here, I'm using a 2012 MacBook Pro, but the procedure is the same for other models.

Thank you very much for this video. For the last 1 week, after many hours & other RU-vid videos, none of thier method worked. Your method worked so smoothly and everything was straight forward. Your method was the easiest and the manner you've explained it was very helpful 👌 👍

I agree with previous comments about this being an easy to follow step by step guide. Ideally look at this video whilst updating your other Mac. Make good use of the pause, rewind, & play buttons to ensure a fool-proof set up. A+++++++++++

Thank you for the straight forward well illustrated video. It is taking so long to write the installer on my USB. I waited 2 hours and I still it had only written 3gb. I left it overnight.

Thank you for the video. I followed your video and updated my early 2015 MacBook Pro to Sonoma without any issues. I used the latest OCLP to install it and it's 95% the same as your video. There is only a very tiny difference but I can still manage it. Thanks again!

Update: Successful install of Sonoma on my Mac mini 2014 to which I've added an NVMe SSD. Had to do it a second time as it didn't work first time around. Looks good, just about to load up the stuff from the external drive with Time Machine. Thanks again, Bar Tech. Subbed and Liked.

I'm running my Mac on Catalina, which I downloaded the patch and updated from high Sierra to Catalina, I can't open some apps like chrome or download the whatsapp app itself, if I use this update shown in the video to maybe any of these versions, will I still get these issues

I'm trying to upgrade a 2014 macbook air but in disk utility, it only shows media zero kb. It's running Big Sur just fine but it won't let me upgrade with open core. I can start holding Cmd-R & it shows Macintosh HD. I went into it there & partitioned the SSD but still the same thing. Any suggestions

@abzz132u 4 месяца назад

Can this be installed as and upgrade rather than a clean install? Are there any concerns with future updates via this method?

@BartechTV 4 месяца назад

Just skip the part where I formatted my SSD, choose your internal SSD as the install location, and there should be no loss of files - it'll be as if you were upgrading your OS via the normal Apple method. When new updates are released, you should be able to update the normal way, but check the OCLP website before installing them, as Apple occasionally throws a curve ball that needs OpenCore to do some work before it can be installed.

@even___ Месяц назад

Thanks so much for this video, I'll try this out after I get a flash drive tomorrow. I have one question though, is it possible to install Sonoma with OCLP if I have two partitions, one for OSX and one for Linux? I'm just a bit worried because OCLP is a bootloader so I might not be able to get back into my Linux system? Not sure if that's how it works, thanks!!

@BartechTV Месяц назад

The OpenCore bootloader is only installed on your macOS partition. You'll still be able to choose the Linux bootloader by holding Option as you turn the Mac on. Or, you can boot using the OpenCore bootloader which should automatically detect your Linux installation and it'll appear in the OpenCore boot picker. I have Ubuntu Linux, Windows 11 and macOS Sonoma installed on my Intel Mac using OpenCore.

@fronix3700 2 месяца назад

Hello, thank you for the good job. It works very well, but I can’t understand one thing. I bought a MacBook from 2017, model A1708 Retina. It's one of the last laptops which supports Open Core Legacy Patcher. When I'm on the step at minute 7:25, after holding the option button and opening my SSD disk in a boot-loader, I have the old version of the login screen from MacOS Ventura on Sonoma. I don’t know what went wrong. I've searched the internet, but I couldn’t find anything. Is there an opportunity to fix this issue?"

I have been trying to install MacOS 14, 13, and 11 on my MacBook Pro 2011 (early), but for some reason, the installation never ends. I always get a progress bar with a message saying less than one minute left and it remains like that for hours. Do you have any suggestion?

@MrWatanabe Месяц назад

Is it necessary to erase the drive or can you create a partition to save Sonoma onto instead?. This would save have to update all the data files back on it after

@turnitintomore777 Месяц назад

Will it auto boot from opencore instead of having to press option key everytime we boot, if not do you have a tutorial on changing that, chat gpt say we can and gives instructions in terminal but would like to see a video if possible

@EastTactics 3 месяца назад

Mine got what I feel to be 90% through the whole process. I got to the point where it was repeatedly updating itself. Got to the Apple logo completed the bar a few times. But on the last one or perhaps second the last one it got to about 3% filled and then froze. And, I started the whole process over again and got to the exact same point in it froze. Any ideas?

@EastTactics 3 месяца назад

@@TheOnlyRealVeniVidiVici I gave up on trying to install Sonoma, I even tried Ventura and got the same issue. So I’m not sure if there’s an issue with their flash program or if there’s an incompatibility with this particular iMac. So I gave up and went ahead and installed Ubuntu onto this iMac. It’s absolutely fantastic. Able to run modern browsers my wife watches her favorite Netflix shows and we search the web and everything like that. Absolutely beautifully now. So create a flash for the most recent version of Ubuntu and go ahead and get that puppy installed …is my recommendation.

@thurlravenscroft2572 2 месяца назад

Will this machine receive OS and security updates like a mac running Sonoma without open core?

@BartechTV 2 месяца назад

Yes, but, Apple occasionally makes changes to the OS that means waiting for an OCLP update before you can update the OS.

I encountered a problem installing the OS after downloading it. Although I successfully downloaded it, when I reached the step to select the local macOS installer, the window displayed 'Install macOS Sonoma (requires High Sierra)' in a faded color. I would appreciate your advice on this. install macOS Sonoma ( requires high sierra ) which is in a faked colour. Your advice is appreciated.

How do we know we’re downloading an official, virus-free copy of Sonoma?

@BartechTV 3 месяца назад

All OCLP does is download Sonoma from Apple. If you don't want to allow OCLP to download it for you, you can download it yourself and click "Use existing macOS installer" instead of "Download macOS installer".
