MacOS 14 (Sonoma) 14.3 Beta 1

Word of warning:

• If you do not have a working wifi or ethernet solution for Sonoma hold off on updating your primary install. Possibly there will be some fix in the future that does not require OCLP and disabling SIPs.
• BCM94360NG & BCM94360CS2 wifi no longer supported
• AppleIGB works

Required BIOS and EFI Setting Links:

1. BIOS Settings
2. EFI Settings (Core Count & GPU)
3. Included Kext
4. NVRAM Reset

  • SMCSuperIO.kext -> Publish fan speeds to VirtualSMC (Bottom Fan = Motherboard CPU Fan Header & Blower = Motherboard Chassis Fan header)
• Kext Removed
  
  • The AMD Power Gadget still works but publishing the CPU sensor to third-party apps, like iStat Menus, has been broken since Sonoma's official release.

As I no longer have a copy of MacOS 14.3.1 to test the EFI on I will hold off on posting the EFI update for 0.9.8. Have not found any obvious benefits to the update.

Someone on Discord has mentioned that 0.9.8 EFI for MacOS 14.4 beta 1-3 does not work properly with 14.3.1. The delayed posting is out of an abundance of caution after having a corrupted EFI partition when trying to update 14.3.1 to 14.4 beta 3 on my backup copy of MacOS last night when I got home from my trip. The failed update rendered both my primary and test copy of MacOS unbootable.

It may simply be that the Installer download was corrupted, the Apple folder in the EFI, added during the update download and first restart, would not open to the view the files. Numerous attempts of simply deleting Apple folder and EFI failed. Ultimately to resolve the matter a reformat of the FAT32 EFI partition was required along with copying a backup of the EFI to the reformatted partition.

Waiting for further confirmation that the issue was an isolated incident for the 14.4 beta update. Would hate for someone else to have to deal with a bricked OS.

Thanks for providing this information. I attempted to make the update to OC 0.9.8 (I'm running MacOS 14.3.1) and every time it would crash and restart while booting up. The weird thing is it gets further along in the boot process than it normally does if I messed something up in the config. Anyways, I assumed it was something weird I had done in the EFI but couldn't figure it out. Figured I'd wait to hear from people who know more about this than I do before making more attempts to update. Good to know that OC 0.9.8 may not play nice with Mac OS 14.3.1.

I try to update to new betas on my second test copy of MacOS. My primary was updated already to 14.4 beta 1 and test was still on 14.3.1. Both use the same EFI. Last night when it restarted the BIOS kick back to Legacy Boot Enabled. Thought nothing of it, periodically happens. After setting to Disabled and selecting the installer it rebooted kind of like normal but restarted quicker than usual.

After that both the test and primary froze with a greyed out loading bar after log in. Played with some random changes in the EFI in Windows but still had no luck.

This afternoon, downloaded Sonoma 14.3.1 on my MacBook and made a USB installer with an EFI partition using the same 0.9.7 EFI that worked with 14.4 beta 1. The USB installer failed to load. Tried the USB EFI with installer and it worked. So, quit and tried the primary and test Mac installs. They also worked.

Deleted and recopied the EFI to the EFI partition on my primary drive. No luck, then tried to manually delete the Apple folder in Windows, ChimeraOS and Kali. Never could get it to actually delete. Decided to reformat the EFI partition. That did the trick with the same EFI.

Then updated the EFI to 0.9.8. No problems the primary. Updated the test copy of MacOS using the 0.9.8 EFI without issue.

Don't think it has anything to do with OpenCore 0.9.8. It appears that something went wrong with the nested Apple folder in the EFI used for updating. Like I said earlier, could not get the folder to open. In Windows got a generic dialog that it could not read the files and just a spinning icon in Linux.

Don't know if any of this is helpful to your struggle but thought I would pass my experience along.

I managed to update to OC 0.9.8, but Mac OS no longer could see the headphone jack. I looked in Hackintool and Realtek ALC1220 no longer shows up. I reverted back to AppleALC v 1.8.8 and it works. Seems like there may be an issue with the latest version of AppleALC.kext 1.8.9. Anyone else experienced this?

I use audio through DisplayPort on my monitor which also has a 3.5mm. So have not used the Realtek kext.

Hopefully the kext gets fixed.

I am running OC 0.9.8 with macOS Sonoma 14.3.1. OpenCore itself is certainly not an issue.

Most likely culprit — if anything is amiss — is WiFi drivers.

No WiFi drivers at all in my EFI.

Going to see how the next beta goes. If update goes smoothly will post my EFI.

 

[johnlietzke]

Update: A few minutes after posting this the restart notification appeared. Install on the Hackintosh went smoothly there after.
Oddly, the update failed on the M2 MacBook Air. Retrying it now. Worked the second time.

Trying to update to Sonoma 14.4 beta 4. Been stuck on "Preparing macOS Sonoma 14.4 beta 4..." "About 35 minutes remaining" for 45 minutes.
Not a good sign. EFI may need some changes for beta 4.

Hello, i have bought a B550 ProArt and i have a Ryzen 7 3700X and a Sapphire RX580 im trying to get my hackintosh built today it's not my first try to make a hackintosh but it's my first with a supported GPU

From my understanding the EFI should work on all B550 and X570 Asus motherboards. You will have to make changes for your specific hardware and GPU.

If you run into problems AudioGods X570 forum may be better suited to offer you help.

Thank you, i have already made it boot and all with dual monitors setup first one HDMI second one is Thunderbolt and my thunderbolt audio interface work but not on Hotplug that's a problem for later... my only issue atm is ethernet i'm tryna fix the internal adapter because it's ugly having a USB dock on my desk just to get ethernet in there
i can attach the version of EFI that i smh made and worked for me

Having an EFI for Pro Art B550 would be great for other users.

You may want to jump over to the other forum I linked and see what Ethernet Kext they are using.

sure, i have already posted it in there check the latest reply, I'll try a few more things to fix the ethernet and the random restaring issue i have it doesnt happen often i'll track it to see the case and let you know as well.

Will not be updating the x570 EFI to the new beta of MacOS 15 right away (June 10th ish). My computer will be in storage for 6 weeks while I wait for my new house to be ready for move in. Advise using legendary AudioGod's X570 for any OpenCore information during that time.

Shaneee has been the go to for new MacOS version beta solutions. Resolving issues and testing stability does takes time.

Ezual is always quick to post new EFI's, don't know if he typically does EFIs for betas and doubt he will unless MacOS 15 is very stable. Ezual makes a clean EFI with just the essentials to get MacOS up and running on the Asus x570. Meticulously documenting the details and changes. Recommend using his if just starting out or need a clean template.

Please don't hound them about if MacOS 15 will work with OpenCore and when an update will be posted.

Shaneee has been the go to for new MacOS version beta solutions. Resolving issues and testing stability does takes time.

Depending on what I'm working when the first beta is released and whether they've left any X86 code in the kernel I'll be testing. As always though remember that we don't offer patch support for beta versions of macOS.
