How to Create Beta Preview of OCLP 0.6.8 for Dummies

[ichelash]

In this dummy guide, i am going to show you how to create the beta preview of Opencore Legacy Patcher (OCPL 0.6.8 BETA). I'll go straight to the point on this.

First head on to Dortania github repo as show in the image below.

 

Next you'll need to have XCODE 15 Beta, python 3.6 and above, Kernel Debug Kit installed on your system

 

 

Now open your Terminal and clone the "sonoma-development Branch" As show below.

git clone -b sonoma-development https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher.git

It will Download an Opencore-Legacy patcher from "sonoma-development"  branch to your Hack.

 

Next locate the Directory where you downloaded the OCLP in your system (for me it's in cd /Users/yourname/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher)

On Terminal also make sure you have (cd) into the Opencore-Legacy-Patcher dir as show below

cd /Users/yourname/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher

 

Install Python dependencies used by the project--> run the code below to install them

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

 

After the installation of dependencies is done. Time to generate our app.

 

Generating prebuilt binaries

The main goal of generating prebuilt binaries is to strip the requirement of a local Python installation for users. For developers, there's very little benefit besides enabling dark mode support in the GUI. For development, simply use the OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.command file with a Python 3 installation.

With OCLP directory open in terminal, use the code below to build the latest version of OCLP

python3 Build-Binary.command

When done, your Opencore-legacy-Patcher will have few things added as shown below

Also your OCLP app will be created at (dist) folder

 

To the the required kexts, Go to ---> Payload folder--> Kexts  Open the folder

 

 

(Here for example for only Broadcom patching)---> Open "Wi-Fi" folder under Payloads-->kexts-->Wifi

 

 

Copy them somewhere you can access...extract them and add them to your EFI's kexts folder

 

 

Next on the "Kernel" of your config.plist Go to "Block" tab and add as shown if the image below..

com.apple.iokit.IOSkywalkFamily

 

Enabling Patching support for modern Broadcom Cards (Click to Expand)

To use our current patches, you'll need to ensure the following:

System Integrity Protection is set to 0x803csr-active-config | data | 03080000

Reset NVRAM or add csr-active-config to Delete to ensure the new variable is set

AMFI is disabled

boot-args | string | amfi=0x80

Secure Boot Model is set to Disabled

Following kexts are blocked:

com.apple.iokit.IOSkywalkFamily and the strategy must be set to Exclude.

Set MinKernel to 23.0.0 to ensure patches only apply on Sonoma

Following kexts are injected:

IOSkywalk.kext

IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext

Kext has a child, AirPortBrcmNIC.kext, ensure this is injected as well

Set MinKernel to 23.0.0 to ensure patches only apply on Sonoma

Once these are injected, you can run OpenCore-Patcher's Post-Install option and root patch. On reboot, Wireless support should be restored assuming your machine was configured correctly to the above.

 

Hope it somehow helps.

You'll just open the "dist" folder and open your OCLP app, run it..it will detect the required patches for your system.

@ichelash Uhhhm, you can skip all this compiling business and just download the prebuild app that is linked in the Comment, @antuneddu posted earlier

Look for "Latest validated builds for the sonoma-development branch can be found below: "

I tried to use that nightly build..and it gave me errors..like shown below..so I just wrote what worked for me. If the prebuilt works for you go ahead and use it.

I am giving up on SonoWifi, My Sonoma just won't boot with those 3 kexts enabled, only way it boots is with the NIC.kext turned off and then I still get no wifi 

[ichelash]

Yoo @Cyberdevs if this post is not worth it..you can delete it. No offense.

How are things looking up on your EFI?

Configured exactly as notes say but with that 1 kext enabled my Asus Z790 ProArt will not boot Sonoma. It boots Ventura okay. I turn it off and Sonoma boots, wifi icon on top right starts flashing like trying to connect but goes to greyed out and Broadcom module does not show in Hackintool

Nah, it's OK, it's good for the troubleshooting proposes, people will end up in the same situation so it's going to teach them not to get frustrated if things didn't work out as they planned.

 

@surenmunoo

post your EFI I'll take a look when I get back home.

Have you reset nvram?

[SavageAUS]

What about airportbrcm kext if it was used?

Is that no longer required?

Yup, shows Lily kexts has no Philst, I am trying to sort the kexts out as none of them show any package contents.

I think you need all the Brcm kexts you needed previouslly, plus the IO802Family and Sywalk kexts. Unfortunately, either my brcm card of the PCI slot of my old laptop is dead so I can't test it.

[SavageAUS]

Sanity check on AMD rig before running the app I just built.

Pretty sure I followed the first post to the letter but still SoNoWiFi.

 

I have the Wifi icon without an exclamation mark now but it is off and cannot turn on.

 

I have even tried adding in AirportBrcmFixup.kext.

 

Maybe AirportBrcmFixup.kext needs to come before the OCLP kexts?
