mrwaqy Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Thanks to @Jake Lo's excellent post below, I am able to run Monterey flawlessly on my E7440. I was wondering if anyone has managed to get Sonoma running on their machine? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted September 6 Administrators Share Posted September 6 For Sonoma, it's exactly the same as for Ventura which dropped official support for Haswell platforms; as such, no native support for Haswell graphics HD4400/4600. In addition, Sonoma dropped support for legacy Broadcom wireless cards. See our previous communications on these matters. I would expect there are existing threads about installing/running Ventura and/or Sonoma on Haswell laptops, whether Dell or otherwise. https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/17636-macos-ventura-is-out https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/18228-macos-sonoma-140-beta-1-early-feedback-and-findings https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/19456-oclp-patcher-support-for-legacy-broadcom-wireless-cards-in-sonoma https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/19519-macos-sonoma-is-out https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/20304-macos-sonoma-144-update-is-out https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/19730-wifi-in-sonoma-patching-for-legacy-broadcom-wireless-cards/ OCLP brings everything back to life: graphics acceleration and wireless (provided you have the required card). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwaqy Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Thank you for the detailed reply @Hervé Is there a guide for OCLP anywhere? I have downloaded it but I find it confusing as to how to use it. For example, do I target the installer for the host system even though it's a Hackintosh already, or do I use the MacbookPro11,4 definition that my Hackintosh is using etc? Do I apply the patches before I install, or after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted September 7 Administrators Share Posted September 7 There is substantial documentation on the Dortania site. Failing that, you may opt for a Clover classic installation on which you'll apply OCLP patching; that's what I do with my unsupported laptops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwaqy Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Thanks again. I managed to get Ventura up and running, and used OCLP to patch the graphics. I swapped out my intel wifi for a broadcom card like 6 /7 years ago so that's working pretty much out of the box fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
