Forcing MacOS 14 Sonoma onto a MacBook Pro 17”

[@frokfrdk]

Yes I called the "2015 Retina MacBook" a "MacBook Air" yes that was just a small vocal error. Also I didn't realise that the RAM sticks were labelled 2x4GB. Bit confusing when it had both 2x4GB and 8GB written on the sticks but oh well

[@JoshuaG]

[@l2bprod]

i believe the ram sticks are both 8gb, but each port only supports upto 4gb of ram, therefore macOS is seeing 8 gigs

The reason why it ran so poorly was likely because of the fact that it’s a computer that doesn’t support Apple’s Metal graphics API, which has been used for more and more throughout the system lately. 2012+ computers support Metal and have a way more enjoyable experience with OCLP, trust me.

For it to work, it's best to make the installer on the target machine itself, because the installer needs to be specific to your machine, even if you choose the correct one from a list, you can still run into problems, i run Monterey on a 2012 air and it works just fine, even, with 4gb of ram. Yes they can't download macos sonoma directly, but you can use a utility called Mist, where you can download any macos version that apple has on their servers ;) so now you know. I also tried Sonoma, but it is still way to buggy, yes, even on my mom's MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16 inch

[@frokfrdk]

Yeah I specified it off camera and it's why it errored out in the video

[@doctordothraki4378]

I once mismatched the OpenCore and MacOS versions. I installed a Sonoma version for 8,1 (early 2011 unibody) on an 11,3 (2013 Retina). It lagged, the UI looked tiny and was unable to scale, Wi-Fi didn't work and the wallpaper wasn't showing. It got fixed though

[@Moonmancliff]

Hi, the reason the graphics and the drivers did not work was because you had put the drivers of the macbook you installed the opencore on, you had to go to settings and select the model number of this mac, hope this helps!

Open Core Legacy Patcher support for Sonoma is still really early, I would guess most of these issues will be solved in the next weeks / months. Then again, maybe not, Apple has been determined to make older Macs harder and harder to support since Big Sur and Ventura / Sonoma needs some really hacky workarounds on pre-Metal GPU and early Metal GPU, without mentionning the problems with some touchpads, poor ressources management, etc. Ventura has the advantage of being a year old at that point, Open Core is pretty stable with it, but at release, it was rough.

[@nadnazym]

I also have a 2010 17 macbook pro, use day to day, absolute beast and wonderful machine. Mine is specd out with i7-640m (doesn’t matter today so much because it’s dual core, the same as your i5, 16gb ram, gt 330m, samsung 870Qvo 1TB, planning to swap cd drive out for 2nd ssd. Installed macOS Sonoma on the older version on oclp, runed like yours. Installed Ventura, been running for over 2 months, everything works fine, the safari open after half a second after clicking it’s a day to night difference with sonoma. To be fair Sonoma=Ventura feature and feel like. Everything works, even graphics acceleration, annimations smooth. On Ventura everything’s snappy, i usually use with multiple apps open including safari+chrome, shows no signs of weekness, everything’s snappy af. Usa a lot for dy’ing, music production, office apps. 17 inch macbook pro , the best macbook pro ever made, beast. Such as an e39 m5, the fastest sports sedan ever made. Period. Everyone using 17 macbook I do recommend upgrading to Ventura.

All 17' MacBook Pro have dedicated graphics, for example yours has the Geforce gt 330m. Also the gt 330m doesn't cook itself, you're thinking of the 2011 15" and 17" Pros with the Radeon HD 6750m and 6770m respectively.

[@zizlog_sound]

These Radeon 6xxx gfx cards were also used on the 2011 iMacs causing issues there as well. I still haven’t figured out if it were the 6750 and 6770 only or all 6 series Radeon cards.

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

@@zizlog_sound the 6750m in the 21.5” iMacs generally don’t fail much, but the 6770m and 6970m from the 27” iMacs are much more susceptible to failure. Less so than the MacBook Pros, but still pretty likely. One advantage of the iMacs is that the graphics are replaceable due to being MXM. You can put a GTX 660m into them and flash it with Mac firmware to get a metal supported GPU that won’t fail. Allows you to install Mojave and Catalina and have better support in Big Sur and up.

[@smashgarage]

Hey, just an F.Y.I that the 2010 17" MacBook Pro DOES indeed support 2x8GB 1066/1067 DDR3 SODIMM Ram. A couple reasons why you weren't able to see 16GB active. 1. You simply had a bad RAM stick. 2. For 16GB to work, you need to get 1066/1067 MHz RAM (certain older MacBooks will not work with higher clocked RAM. 3. (most obvious) It Needs an EFI Update. I assure you, 16GB works. Apple will state that only 8GB will be recognized, but it's actually 16. I have 16GB 1066MHz Dual Channel in my Mid 2010 Polycarbonate MacBook, which only was seen AFTER an EFI update.

i know this video is over 2 months old but the opencore legacy patcher works that way it detects the macbook where you try to make installer for mac os sonoma installer it also install automatically patches for system what opencore detects where you create it so you got wrong patches and drivers what isn't for your macbook where you tried to install so you got driver confict. if you use opencore legacy patcher to create installer for other computer you need change the target in opencore legacy patcher program to the computer indentifier where you want to install macos sonoma to get right patches and drivers.

[@WaymoresBlues]

This installation would have gone smoother if you had first zapped the PRAM before starting the EFI Partition on your USB stick. Also, when the USB drive booted up the MacOS Recovery the very first thing that you should have opened was Disk Utilities and erased itthe internal Hard Drive and formatted it as APS and as a GUID partition map BEFORE moving on to the Sonama OS installer. This is whats known as a 'clean installation' and what should be done on hard drive except with exception of an upgrade from currently installed OS software to a nerwr version of the OS in which case the drive already has the proper formatting and partition mapping installed on the internal drive. Personally I was amazed that you didn't even know to do this because it has been Computer 101 practically since the invention of what we know today as a hard drive. Prior to hard drives applications were boot loaded on to computers using magnetic tape or floppy drives that didn't need to be formatted when installed. Hard Drives formatted for modern MacOS computers and the Hard Drives formatted for modern Windows PC's are not compatable with each other. The MacOS hard drive APS format is not natively recognized by a Windows PC and a Hard Drive that has been formatted as NTSF for a Windows PC can not be recognized by a MacOS booted from an APS drive. I believe the only reason that you were at all able to see both the Windows and the MacOS system software running at the same time on the same drive was due to the internal drive booting from the installed Open Core Legacy Patcher's UFI Boot partition. What you should do is shutdown your MacBook and plug in your Open Core Legacy Patcher Sonama USB drive and restart and hold down the Optin, Apple, the P and the R keyboard keys while the Mac boots until you hear the startup chime to zap the PRAM clearing the onboard memory before installion. I've found that if you continue to hold those keys down til you hear a second louder chime is more effective at clearing the memory. After the second chime continue to hold down the option while releasing the other keys and until the MacOS Recovery loads and then you can install Sonoma. During the OS installation process your Mac will reboot several times during the instal which is normal although on some of the older Mac models the installation may stall or stop completely during any one of those restarts but I found that if I restart the Mac while zapping the PRAM until the second chime it will continue the install to completion. I am currently running Sonoma on an early 2008 MacPro.
