E7270 Monterey to Sonoma update

[tryit]

Hi @Hervé I am following  your  guide  E7270 and running on Monterey for years and no [problem . I am planning to upgrade to Sonoma.

Please advise how the best way to update it.

Thank you

It's pretty straightforward:

1. update Clover to v5157 minimum; you may go up to v5167 but not beyond as I've noticed that v5172 (obtained through Clover Configurator) no longer includes the BlockSkywalk patch anymore
2. update your bootpack with the latest I posted for Sonoma
3. install Sonoma, either through Software update or through the AppStore

Bear in mind that Sonoma dropped all legacy Broadcom wireless cards so, if you have one of those, you'll have to use OCLP to bring back support. If this is the case, install latest OCLP patcher before you upgrade to Sonoma so that it's readily available afterwards. See here for details:
