macOS 13 and OpenCore Legacy Patcher

[vulgo]

macOS 13 apparently removes driver support for the iGPUs and 9 series XHC on this board. It looks like any upgrading to Ventura should follow the development and addition of Haswell/Broadwell support to OpenCore Legacy Patcher as the most complete solution to these and other potential issues if upgrading to Ventura is necessary.

[jbvulture]

I successfully updated to Ventura 13.0.1 using vulgo/ga-h97n-wifi-hackintosh 0.8.5 and dotania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher 0.5.1. It was really a very easy process and I am currently operating with minimal issues which are known to the Opencore Legacy Patcher noted at https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1008 for Haswell. I run my system with iGPU only using SystemProductName iMac18,1 and the I7-4790K processor.

vulgo/ga-h97n-wifi-hackintosh 0.8.5 EFI modifications made:

• Needed to reset NVRAM to override NVRAM stored SIP settings so that OpenCore Legacy Patcher could do "Post Install Root Patch" after upgrade/install of Ventura. Added ResetNvramEntry.efi from Opencore 0.8.5 to OC/Drivers folder and updated config.plist entry in UEFI-Drivers array - This allowed me to hit spacebar at OC boot to select and reset NVRAM upgrade. The config.plist entry added:

          <dict>
              <key>Arguments</key>
              <string></string>
              <key>Comment</key>
              <string></string>
              <key>Enabled</key>
              <true/>
              <key>LoadEarly</key>
              <false/>
              <key>Path</key>
              <string>ResetNvramEntry.efi</string>
          </dict>

• Added entries to OC config.plist NVRAM-Add to lower SIP setting allowing Opencore Legacy Patcher to perform post install patching after upgrade/install. The config.plist modifications made are:

              <key>boot-args</key>
              <string>keepsyms=1 amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1</string>
              <key>csr-active-config</key>
              <data>AwgAAA==</data>

Upgrade/Install process: I tried both upgrade and a fresh install. Both were successful. I followed the guide/instructions at https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher with the exception of section "Building and installing OpenCore". Instead of following that section, I manually installed vulgo/ga-h97n-wifi-hackintosh 0.8.5 EFI as modified above both on the USB and later on the internal system drive. After Ventura was upgraded/installed, I downloaded dotania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher 0.5.1 and ran "Post Install Patches". If you see issues with SIP when trying to run the Patcher, you will need to reboot and reset NVRAM then attempt patching again. This is the reason for the EFI modifications described above. This patcher makes the graphics perform smoothly.

I have been running the system for about 4-5 days. The system performs as well as Monterey did. The only issue I personally have run into has been with the new weather app that is a known problem in Ventura/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher (https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1008).

I think the combination of the awesome work vulgo has done on this repository keeping ga-h97n-wifi-hackintosh working with the latest version of OpenCore and using OpenCore Legacy Patcher as is, is an easy and workable solution that is working for me now.

@jbvulture thanks for your detailed description of your upgrading to macOS 13. I will update the repo with your changes and try to track the OpenCore Legacy Patcher as new updates are released. Thanks again.

successfully applied Ventura to macbookpro10,2 however the patch for Intel HD4000 won’t work and the resolution is stuck at 42 inch.

“Reason for patch failure (71)” “Unable to build new kernel cache” “Unable to resolve dependencies: ‘com.rim.driver.BlackBerryUSBDriverInt’” “dependency on ‘com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassStorageClass’ which was not found”

[vulgo]

Hi @rochmind I have just added @jbvulture NVRAM variable changes to the main branch

                <key>boot-args</key>
                <string>keepsyms=1 amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1</string>
                <key>csr-active-config</key>
                <data>AwgAAA==</data>

The kext for Haswell on Apple was usually HD5000, not sure if that helps

https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ may be able to assist you further. Thanks

Updated 0.8.5 release notes

[rochmind]

weirdly, after booting to another partition with catalina and leaving it there for a couple of days use, just booted today in the ventura partition and the resolution fixed itself! just the brightness controls doesn't work..

[rochmind]

found offending RIMBBUSB.kext and deleted it, ran post install and reboot.. works ok now!

NVRAM variables?

just the brightness controls doesn't work..

mine never have, didn't know they could

found offending RIMBBUSB.kext and deleted it

old kext?

[rochmind]

that old kext likely from my wife’s old blackberry from ages ago.

i rerun the post install again, brightness controls works now

i'm not sure it's right place to discuss/ ask for help or not but i'm facing one strange issue with Monterey as well

my configuration CPU - intel i59400F GPU - NVIDIA GT 710 Kepler

when i try to open xcode simulators with latest xcode 14 this simulators are not booting up see the screen shot i have attached

Screenshot - patch installed


I have tried uninstalling NVIDIA patch and after that this simulators are working correctly

Screenshot - patch not installed

No NVIDIA graphics are supported from Monterey onwards as talked about in the notes in README.md. Open an issue with the patch authors, swap your CPU for one with integrated graphics or switch to a supported Polaris card?

This seems like a good place to ask: does anyone have issues with Haswell and patch stopping working after reboot? When I patch and reboot the first time everything is smooth. On the subsequent reboot the Haswell patch seems to be gone and interface is choppy. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks.

Good morning,

I would like to thank you for still being able to use my Macbook Pro 15 inches from Mid 2012 - 9.1 - i7 Quadcore 2.3gz - 16gb of RAM at 1866MHZ, thanks to you with the unlocking of the EFI. I put my Mac on Ventura and everything seems to work great, except the Music/iTunes Store application which gives me a lost network error message, which is not the case since I access without problem at my App Store.

Do you have a solution to suggest to me?

Thanks in advance !

Sorry in advance for my English... I'm French!

Sincerely, Pat

I don’t see how this OC board distribution for a desktop in this repository can help with your MacBook Pro 9,1

OpenCore Legacy Project is the place to source the customisation and instructions you require

Your laptop is listed as supported: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html#macbook-pro

Graphics acceleration in Ventura is supported: https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1008

My advice to you is to ignore this repository and follow the installation guide for your laptop in the Dortania Installation Guide using OpenCore Legacy Patcher, and if you encounter problems open an issue there

Drivers are loaded for your Broadcom ethernet, Airport and Bluetooth controllers, and en0 and en1 names are as expected. I’d try again using only OCLP and kexts in the install guide and report anything non-functional there

Best of luck

But I don't know what you want me to do with the terminal command: 'ifconfig -L en0’

I thank you very much for the time you devoted to finding a solution! That's very nice!
