i tried it brother but its not working i don't know where am doing wrong

You appear to be using OpenCore 0.7.3. Monterey requires OpenCore 0.7.4 to run.

You need to download the latest version of OpenCore 0.7.9 - https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/tag/0.7.9

Recreate your Opencore EFI with the latest release.

Am having this errors after updating open core

 

[santosh mareddy]

After updating my open core this booting is stuck and looping

You can't have followed the guide, if you are seeing those errors.

The first screen image shows a number of errors in the OC config.plist - MISSING KEY - means the entry is missing from your config.plist. Use the Sample.plist to see which keys need to be added to your config for these errors to be fixed.

The second screen image shows an issue with your Intel WiFi kext, not sure what the issue is, but it relates to your use of Itlwm.kext. I would remove the kext and see if that fixes the issue.

I followed each and everything brother it worked fine previously when i was using with bigsur but its not working properly Now

 

[Edhawk]

Big Sur will work with OpenCore 0.7.3, Monterey won't.

You need to be using a version of OpenCore 0.7.4 or newer if you want to run macOS Monterey. Using the latest version linked above makes sense, as it includes a number of additional entries required for running Monterey.

Can someone please help me in making efi folder my configuration is

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
• Motherboard: Asus STRIX X570-E (Bios Revision - 4021)
• RAM: G skill Ripjaws - 64GB
• Graphics: RX 560x in port 2
• Graphics :rtx 3070 in port 1

 

[Edhawk]

Try this OpenCore 0.7.7 EFI folder, it is set for your 12-core CPU and has the SSDT to disable the Nvidia GPU.

 

[santosh mareddy]

after updating my efi to 0.7.4 every problem has been solved

Can you explain how to verify the current version of EFI and how to use the file FI.zip to update it if necessary?
Many thanks indeed

There's a number of ways to do so. On your Opencore boot screen, the version number is shown below like this:



The other methods are using Hackintool and select the Boot icon to show the version you're booting with

https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool

or check the version of the release by going to the Opencore repo and checking the date of the file

https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases

If you don't want to manually update the kexts individually, OCAuxiliaryTool (OCAT) is a useful tool that can validate and update all of the kexts for you online in the OC build with simple two clicks (by clicking on the OC Validate and Upgrade Opencore and Kexts buttons).

https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools

Hackintool also has this feature to update OC version as well.
