Install MacOS 14 Sonoma on VirtualBox - Issue Fixed [2024] 

Thanks, Can i install THIS on AMD CPU ?? : )

@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de for the folks getting the error: "The virtual machine failed to boot. That might be caused by a missing operating system or misconfigured boot order. Mounting an operating system install DVD might solve this problem. Selecting an ISO file will attempt to mount it after the dialog is closed." Try mounting different iso file. It should work.

the iso image you provided for Sonoma on internet archive is corrupted

@@Jeongdaegun sure but you need to run specific command, check the video description

@@Jeongdaegun run VBoxManage modifyvm "VM Name" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7-6700K" in cmd prompt

thanks for sharing the knowledge

This worked. Only problem now is that the install believes there's no place to install the OS to lol

didnt work for me...

thank you for your contripution, really appreciated

Try to download the ISO file from the mediafire link

Kernel Panic During Installation: Kernel panics can occur due to various reasons, including incompatible settings or hardware limitations. Here are some steps to address this issue: RAM Allocation: Allocate at least 4 GB of RAM to the virtual machine. CPU Configuration: Use a multi-core processor configuration (e.g., 2 cores). Video Memory: Assign 128 MB or more to video memory. Chipset: Set it to ICH9 or PIIX3. Graphics Controller: Choose VBoxSVGA or VMSVGA. Boot Order: Ensure the boot order includes the macOS Sonoma ISO. Disable Nested Paging: In VM settings, go to System > Acceleration and uncheck Enable Nested Paging. Monitor the Installation: Pay attention to any error messages or kernel panics. Check ISO Integrity: Verify your downloaded Sonoma ISO file is intact and not corrupted. Starting Options After Panic Mode: When you see the options for “error drive,” “Download macOS,” and “Safari,” try the following: Download macOS: If you haven’t completed the download, choose this option to start the download process again. Error Drive: This might indicate an issue with the virtual disk. Ensure that you’ve created a new virtual disk or erased the existing one before installation. Safari: You can ignore this option for now; it’s not relevant during installation. If this was helpful please help me reach 1000 subs :)

make sure you have enough storage, double-check the configuration to make sure it's correct and try again

Hi, and you're welcome 😊 Do you mean it requires you to reinstall it again or it's stuck on the apple logo or ..?

After instalation is completed a lot of text is starting to appear and starts panic loop until it brings back to instalation screen. I reduced CPU from 4 to 1 and it helped to survive instalation almost until the the end. First time it was crashing on 14minutes remaining and now it crashes on 2 minutes remaining, any ideas jow to fox that?

that's a little bet tricky, try that and if you get a specific error msg post it here and ill do my best to help you out.

Were you able to get iservices working with this method?

icloud could not be activated because of a server error mac Sonoma 14 please help

You're welcome, have you checked the Video description there is link to another video to fix the panic loop

Make sure to update Virtualbox and follow the steps correctly

Run this command in terminal with the other commands you put. VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/TM/TSCMode" "RealTSCOffset"

@essenceyup what did you do to resolve it? did @ralorv8395 suggestion work?

try put the chipset (PIIX3)

do u use Intel or AMD processor?

Hello and welcome to my channel, When you encounter the error message “‘VBoxManage’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file” while attempting to manage your virtual machines using VirtualBox, it indicates that the VBoxManage.exe executable is not included in your system’s PATH. The PATH is a list of directories from which Windows can run executables. To resolve this issue, follow these steps: Browse to the directory where VirtualBox is installed. Typically, this location is: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox Copy the pathname of this directory Open a command prompt and run the following command: set PATH=%PATH%;"" Now, if you type VBoxManage in the command prompt, it should work. if this was helpful, help me reach 1000 subscriber, smash that subscribe button and share with your frineds :)

No

This will only format the free space you have allocated to you virtual machine

Check Your EFI Configuration: Ensure that your EFI folder (which contains the necessary files for OpenCore) is correctly set up. Double-check the following: Kext Order: Make sure that Lilu.kext is loaded before VirtualSMC.kext in your config.plist. Remove unnecessary boot arguments. Specifically, remove the following: -igfxvesa -wegnoigpu -radcodec unfairgva=1 You can keep only one instance of agdpmod=pikera. Additionally, consider adjusting your SMBIOS settings. Try using the iMac20,2 profile. Monitor Signal Issue: Sometimes, the issue might be related to the monitor signal. Try the following: Boot with only these two boot arguments: alcid=1 agdpmod=pikera. Remove all other boot arguments. Test different HDMI and DisplayPort (DP) ports on your GPU. Reset NVRAM from the OpenCore menu. iGPU Settings: If you have an iGPU (integrated graphics), ensure that it’s correctly configured in your BIOS. Some motherboards require specific settings for iGPU usage. Search for "PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)" in your config.plist and delete that entry if present. You can also try using the iGPU settings specific to your MSI Z490 motherboard (if applicable). OpenCore Version: Consider upgrading your OpenCore version. Sometimes, newer versions resolve compatibility issues. Try upgrading from 0.8.5 to a more recent version (e.g., 0.9.6).

Encountering the **"In Memory Panic stackshot succeeded"** error during macOS installation on VirtualBox can be frustrating, but let's troubleshoot it step by step: 1. **Reduce the Number of CPUs**: - Start by reducing the number of CPUs assigned to your virtual machine. Sometimes allocating too many CPUs can cause issues. - Set the number of CPUs to **one** and try booting the VM again. 2. **Check Host CPU Compatibility**: - Ensure that your host CPU supports the necessary features for running macOS. - For macOS Ventura (13) and later, your host CPU should have **AVX2 support**. - If your CPU meets the requirements, proceed to the next step. 3. **Update VirtualBox and Extension Pack**: - Make sure you are using the latest version of VirtualBox and the corresponding Extension Pack. - Outdated versions may have compatibility issues with newer macOS releases. 4. **Adjust VM Settings**: - In your VirtualBox settings for the macOS VM, consider the following adjustments: - Enable **PAE/NX** (Physical Address Extension / No Execute) in the Processor settings. - Enable **Nested Paging** in the Acceleration settings. - Increase the allocated **RAM** if it's currently too low. 5. **Check ACPI Tables**: - Sometimes macOS doesn't like certain ACPI tables provided by VirtualBox. - Refer to the [OpenCore troubleshooting guide](dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/troubleshooting/extended/kernel-issues.html) for kernel issues related to ACPI tables. - Unfortunately, VirtualBox might not provide a straightforward solution for this specific issue. 6. **Capture Boot Process**: - If possible, capture a video of the boot process. You might see additional details before the panic message. - Use a smartphone or explore VirtualBox's video capture options. 7. **CryptexFixup Kext (QEMU)**: - If you're using QEMU as a host and OpenCore as a bootloader, consider using the **CryptexFixup kext**. - It adds support for CPUs with AVX but no AVX2. - Note that this solution might not directly apply to VirtualBox.

make sure to eject ISO file after installation

Can you give more details?

@@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de I have the same error :(

​@@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de I too had this problem but if you want to fix this issue then set cpu (cores) between 1-4 and again install from stractch

​@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de Fortunately I managed to solve it but now during the installation, it asks me to select the startup disk but the screen is completely blank, as if there was no disk, and under that app, it was another app "updating mac os assistant" or something like that and it freezes there I can only turn it off or restart it and then do the exact same thing.

This tutorial is meant for windows users, but almost the same steps can be applied for Linux

Is there any specific errors you see?

@@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de Well I’m not really sure but I think is a kernel panic but it goes too fast to see why happens. I got it to make into the installation reducing the number of cores to 1 but then it entered a install loop, as it advances a little and then reboots but instead of continuing install goes back to recovery menu. I do not know I tried lots of fixes but it just crashed in a different way each time.

English plz

this error indicates that you have wrong configured your machine, watch the video carefully and try again

I have the same error. I did it all over again. And nothing has changed. Still same error.

To fix the "Mouse can't be detected" issue on VirtualBox when installing macOS Sonoma, you can try the following steps: 1. **Check USB Compatibility Settings**: - Open the virtual machine settings in VirtualBox. - Navigate to the USB section and change the USB compatibility to **USB 2.0** if it's set to 3.0³. 2. **Install VirtualBox Extension Pack**: - Ensure that you have the latest VirtualBox Extension Pack installed. This pack often includes fixes for peripheral support⁵. 3. **Adjust Input Settings**: - In some cases, selecting the **USB 3.0 controller** option in the VM settings can resolve input issues¹. 4. **Reinstall VirtualBox**: - If the issue persists, you might want to try uninstalling VirtualBox completely and then reinstalling it. Use the command `sudo apt-get purge virtualbox*` to remove VirtualBox and then install the latest version². Remember to restart VirtualBox after making these changes to ensure they take effect. If you continue to experience issues, checking the VirtualBox forums or seeking advice from the VirtualBox community may provide additional solutions specific to your hardware configuration.
