+# OpenCore Legacy Patcher Privileged Helper Tool
+
+`com.dortania.opencore-legacy-patcher.privileged-helper` is OpenCore Legacy Patcher's Privileged Helper Tool.
+
+The architecture is as such:
+1. The main application (OpenCore-Patcher.app) will send arguments to the privileged helper tool to execute.
+2. The privileged helper tool will check the code signature of the main application to ensure it is signed by Dortania.
+3. The privileged helper tool will then execute the command and return the output to the main application.
+
+The helper tool is able to execute code as root by using the "Set UID" bit present on the file.
+
+
+## Running from source
+
+Since running OpenCore Legacy Patcher from source will lack Dortania's code signature, you will need to disable code signature verification in the privileged helper tool otherwise root commands will fail.
+
+To do so, compile the privileged helper tool with debug:
+```
+make debug
+```
+
+Then when you build OpenCore-Patcher.pkg, the debug version of the helper tool will be used.
+
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+When using the Privileged Helper Tool from source, you are now adding a security risk to your system. By disabling the code signature checks, any malicious application is given ability to execute code as root.
+
+If possible, we highly recommend creating a developer account with Apple and signing the application with your own ["Developer ID Application" certificate](https://developer.apple.com/help/account/create-certificates/create-developer-id-certificates/). This will allow you to run the application without disabling code signature checks.
+
+* Note that Dortania's Team ID will need to be replaced in main.m with your own Team ID (`S74BDJXQMD` -> `YOUR_TEAM`)
+* Additionally you will be required to compile OpenCore-Patcher.app with your own Developer ID Application certificate
+
+If this is not possible, we recommend using [OpenCore Legacy Patcher's prebuilt binaries](../../SOURCE.md) instead.

+# OpenCore-Patcher Update Shim
+
+To handle the new PKG installation method, old versions of OpenCore Legacy Patcher updating to newer versions will still require 'OpenCore-Patcher.app' to be available for download.
+
+Thus the goal of this app is to install an embedded PKG under ./OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/Resources/OpenCore-Patcher.pkg to handle the update process.

 # Supporting the patcher
 
-OpenCore Legacy Patcher is a hobby project for us developers, and while we love helping out the community, it's very difficult for us to troubleshoot issues remotely. The best way for us to get to work on the patcher, fix issues and add enhancements is having the hardware in-hand. As a hobby project, neither of the main developers can afford to buy every legacy Mac to test on.
+We have opened OpenCollective in order to manage donations as well as be transparent about where the donated money is going. If you want to support the patcher with money donation, you can do so below.
 
-The best way to support us in all honesty is to donate any old hardware you no longer need, as this allows us to have machines to test locally and push fixes much faster. While we appreciate cash donations, this makes it much more difficult for us to handle as an organization.

-Main sections of help we'd appreciate:
-
-* Donating any Mac you own
-  * Does require SSE4,1 CPU to test on Sierra and newer however
-
-Additionally, hardware info dumps are greatly beneficial for us to determine what patches a machine might need:
-
-* [IORegistryExplorer](https://github.com/khronokernel/IORegistryClone/blob/master/ioreg-210.zip?raw=true)
-  * `File -> SaveAs` and open an issue on Github
-  * Note: We want IOReg dumps of hardware not running on OpenCore, instead running a clean, officially supported OS by the machine

+
+
+## Why are the settings "not saving"?
+
+OpenCore Legacy Patcher is a config build tool and as such the user interface always reverts to safe defaults, the user interface therefore **does not** reflect the status of settings. Settings are accounted for and saved by the OpenCore building process and you will always have to build OpenCore again after settings change. 
+
+Settings are saved to a config.plist file inside your EFI partition.
+
+In SIP settings, booted SIP is reported in text form e.g. "0x803" but the checkboxes **do not** reflect the applied settings. Refer to [SIP Settings](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#sip-settings) for more information.
+
+## Can I use the same USB install media as a universal installer?
+
+OpenCore configurations are device specific, due to different quirks needed for different systems. If you are building OpenCore for a different system that you're running, you will have to select the targeted model from Settings before building OpenCore on the USB media.
+
+When building OpenCore on a different system, OCLP cannot be aware of all the hardware installed in the target, meaning safe defaults will be used. However, this may not be the most optimal experience especially with custom hardware. As such it's recommended to rebuild OpenCore **on device** to apply settings that are based on hardware detection, after the OS has been installed.
+
+## Can I use OTA updates?
+
+You can. However it is extremely recommended to use USB drive for major OS upgrades (such as 13 -> 14) to avoid larger issues from potentially occurring.
+
+General updates are usually fine, though it is always a good idea to wait few days to see whether patches break and have to be fixed.
+
+## Can I update to macOS betas?
+
+If you are feeling brave and don't mind having to possibly recover your system. However, be advised that no help will be given in situations where a beta was installed.
+
+## Can I use automatic updates?
+
+It is extremely recommended to disable automatic updates (even downloading) when using OCLP, as Apple has recently changed the way automatic updates work. You can still manually initiate an update when you're ready to do so.
+
+For a related "System version mismatch" error while root patching, refer to [System version mismatch error when root patching](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/TROUBLESHOOTING.html#system-version-mismatch-error-when-root-patching) for troubleshooting.
+
+## Why is my system slow?
+
+This can mean many things. Firstly, newer operating systems are harder to run and can appear more slow.
+
+However, if your system is being **really** slow and you have no transparency in Dock and menubar, this typically indicates that root patches are not installed and as such there is no acceleration. Make sure to install root patches to get proper drivers and functionality. Refer to [Applying post install volume patches](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#applying-post-install-volume-patches) and the [Troubleshooting](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/TROUBLESHOOTING.html) section for more information.
+
+Patches can also break if automatic updates are enabled and an update modifies the system volume, refer to [System version mismatch error when root patching](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/TROUBLESHOOTING.html#system-version-mismatch-error-when-root-patching) for more information.
+
+## Crashing in random places
+
+There are two rather common things that can cause weird crashing. First is a process called "mediaanalysisd" on 3802-based systems* and secondly FeatureUnlock. You can try disabling these settings in OCLP to try and gain higher stability.
+
+Be advised that by disabling FeatureUnlock, you will lose some macOS functionality. The features enabled by FeatureUnlock are listed [here](https://github.com/acidanthera/FeatureUnlock).
+
+*3802 systems include:
+* NVIDIA
+    * Kepler (600-800 series GPUs)
+* Intel
+    * Ivy Bridge (3rd generation, HD 4000 series GPUs)
+    * Haswell (4th generation, HD/Iris 4000-5000 series GPUs)
+
+These GPUs are typically met in systems from 2012-2015.
+
+
+## Why isn't iPhone Mirroring working?
+
+iPhone Mirroring requires a T2 chip, which means it will not be available on OCLP patched systems. The connection fails due to failure to establish T2 attestation.
+
+## Where is Apple Intelligence?
+
+Apple Intelligence requires Neural Engine, which is only found in Apple Silicon chips.

 With OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.1.7 and newer, we've implemented beta macOS Monterey support for users. Please note that Apple has dropped a lot of hardware with this release as well as broken many of our previous patch sets. This page will be used to inform users regarding current issues and will be updated as new patch sets are developed and added to our patcher.

-## Enabling SIP
+## SIP settings
 
-For many users, SIP will be lowered by default on build. For Intel HD 4000 users, you may have noticed that SIP is partially disabled. This is to ensure full compatibility with macOS Monterey and allow seamless booting between it and older OSes. However for users who do not plan to boot Monterey, you can re-enable under Patcher Settings.
-
-Note: Machines running macOS Ventura or systems with non-Metal GPUs cannot enable SIP outright, due to having a patched root volume. Enabling it will brick the installation.

+SIP, or System Integrity Protection, needs to be lowered on systems where root patching is required to patch data on disk. This will vary between OS versions and the model in question. OCLP by default will determine the proper SIP options for the OS version and Mac model, in most cases the user has no need to touch these settings. However, this part explains how the SIP settings work in OCLP, where lowered SIP is needed and where full SIP could be enabled.
 
 :::warning
 
-If you're unsure whether you should enable SIP, leave it as-is. Systems where you have already ran the Post Install Root Patching cannot enable SIP without potentially breaking the current install.

+
+
+In the cases where SIP can be enabled, manually enabling it is needed. 
+
+Easiest way to check whether you can fully enable SIP is the "Post Install Root Patch" section, if that section tells your system doesn't need patches (or you don't install the patches e.g. in case you don't need WiFi on a Mac Pro with upgraded GPU running Monterey) then it is safe to assume full SIP can be enabled.
+
+**Ventura and newer**
+
+All unsupported systems require lowered SIP.
+
+**Monterey**
+
+Majority of unsupported systems from 2013 onward can enable full SIP.
+
+Pre-2012 systems, also known as "non-Metal", as well as NVIDIA Kepler and Intel HD 4000 GPUs require lowered SIP. Mac Pros also require lowered SIP for stock WiFi cards and stock GPUs (due to root patching) but if you do not need WiFi (or you plan to upgrade it) and you're running on an upgraded GPU, there is no need for root patching and as such SIP can be fully enabled.
+
+**Big Sur**
+
+All Metal capable systems from 2012 onward (incl. NVIDIA Kepler and Intel HD 4000) as well as Mac Pros with upgraded GPU can run with full SIP enabled. 
+Non-Metal systems still require lowered SIP.
+
 ## Applying Post Install Volume Patches
 
+:::warning
+
+If you need to use Migration Assistant to bring over data to your new macOS install, it is **highly recommended** to avoid restoring from inside Setup Assistant and waiting to install root patches until after the transfer is complete. If root patches were automatically installed, you can use the options available in the OCLP app to remove them.
+
+Using Migration Assistant while patches are installed can lead to an unbootable system, requiring a reinstall of macOS.

+OCLP will automatically root patch your system during a first time install **if the USB install media was created within OCLP.** Users will also be prompted to install these patches after macOS updates or whenever patches are not detected on the system.

+# Background process
+
+OpenCore Legacy Patcher utilizes a background process to:
+- Check for mismatched configurations and warn the user (e.g. installed MacBookPro11,1 config on MacBookPro11,5)
+- Monitor the status of installed Root Patches and OpenCore
+- Ask you to install Root Patches in case they aren't detected (typically after an update)
+- Check whether OpenCore is being booted from USB drive or internal drive
+- Ask you to install OpenCore on the internal disk in case booted from USB
+- React to upcoming updates requiring a new KDK to be downloaded, starting KDK download automatically
+
+It is recommended to keep the background process enabled for smoothest functionality. e.g. to try and avoid failed patching when new KDK is not found.
+
+If you decide to disable the background process, the KDK installation for each update has to be done manually. OCLP is also unable to detect Root Patches on boot, meaning manually opening the app and root patching is required.
+
+::: warning  Note:
+
+In some cases macOS may report background process being added by "Mykola Grymalyuk", this happens due to a macOS bug where sometimes the developer name who sent the app for notarization is shown instead of the application name.
+Dortania cannot do anything about this.

+# macOS Sequoia Support
+
+![](./images/macos-sequoia.png)
+
+Another year, another release.
+
+This time Apple dropped surprisingly few amount of Macs. With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.0, early support for macOS Sequoia has been implemented.
+
+
+## Newly dropped hardware
+
+* MacBookAir8,1 :       MacBook Air (2018)
+* MacBookAir8,2 :       MacBook Air (2019)
+
+## Current status
+
+OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.0 will support Sequoia for most models normally supported by the Patcher, however some challenges remain. You can find information about them below.
+
+Unfortunately due to T2 related problems, the recently dropped MacBookAir8,x models cannot be supported at this time.
+
+[More information here](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1136)
+
+## Non-functional features
+
+On majority of patched Macs, iPhone Mirroring and Apple Intelligence won't be functional.
+
+iPhone Mirroring requires T2 for attestation and Apple Intelligence requires an NPU only found in Apple Silicon, the patcher is unable to provide a fix for these as they're hardware requirements.
+
+## Issues
+
+* [Dual socket CPUs with Mac Pros and Xserve](#dual-socket-cpus-with-mac-pro-2008-and-xserve-2008)
+* [T2 Security chip](#t2-security-chip)
+* [USB 1.1 (OHCI/UHCI) Support](#usb-1-1-ohci-uhci-support)
+* [Graphics support and issues](#graphics-support-and-issues)
+
+
+### Dual socket CPUs with Mac Pro 2008 and Xserve 2008
+
+Booting Sequoia on Mac Pro 2008 (MacPro3,1) or Xserve 2008 (Xserve2,1) with more than 4 cores will cause Sequoia to panic. OpenCore Legacy Patcher will automatically disable additional cores.
+
+This is due to the dual socket nature of the machine, and likely some firmware/ACPI table incompatibility. 
+
+**If building OpenCore for older OS, this limitation can be disabled in Settings -> Build -> "MacPro3,1/Xserve2,1 Workaround".** 
+
+::: warning Note
+
+Dual booting Sequoia and older will not be possible with all cores enabled due to reasons described before. In these cases you will be limited to 4 cores.
+
+:::
+
+### T2 security chip
+
+The current biggest issue we face with supporting the MacBookAir8,x (2018/19) series is the T2 chip's lack of communication when booted through OpenCorePkg.
+
+What happens when one of these units boots through OpenCorePkg is that AppleKeyStore.kext panics due to timeouts with the T2 chip:
+
+```
+"AppleKeyStore":3212:0: sks timeout strike 18
+"AppleKeyStore":3212:0: sks timeout strike 19
+"AppleKeyStore":3212:0: sks timeout strike 20
+panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff801cd12509): "AppleSEPManager panic for "AppleKeyStore": sks request timeout" @AppleSEPManagerIntel.cpp:809
+```
+
+This affects not only macOS Sequoia, but macOS Ventura and Sonoma are confirmed to have the same issue. Thus an underlying problem with the MacBookAir8,x's firmware where it is not happy with OpenCorePkg.
+
+We currently do not have any leads on what exactly breaks the T2.
+* MacBookPro15,2, MacBookPro16,2 and Macmini8,1 do not exhibit these issues in local testing
+* MacPro7,1 does seem to surprisingly based on reports: [MacPro7,1 - OpenCorePkg](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/manually-configured-opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/post-29418464)
+  * Notes from this report were unsuccessful locally: [Cannot boot MacPro7,1 #1487](https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/1487)
+
+
+### USB 1.1 (OHCI/UHCI) Support
+
+For Penryn systems, pre-2013 Mac Pros and Xserve, USB 1.1 support was outright removed in macOS Ventura, therefore this applies all the way to Sequoia.
+While USB 1.1 may seem unimportant, it handles many important devices on your system. These include:
+
+* Keyboard and Trackpad for laptops
+* IR Receivers
+* Bluetooth
+
+Users will need to use a USB hub for installation and post-OS updates when patches are cleaned:
+
+However, the driver has recently been weakened starting from Sonoma, which means even some USB hubs may not work properly. 
+
+An alternative way is making sure to enable "Remote Login" in General -> Sharing before updating, which will enable SSH. 
+That means you can take control using Terminal in another system by typing `ssh username@lan-ip-address` and your password. 
+
+After that run Post Install Volume Patching by typing `/Applications/OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenCore-Patcher --patch_sys_vol` and finally `sudo reboot`.

+# macOS Sonoma Support
+
+![](./images/sonoma.png)
+
+*Well here we are again, it's always such a pleasure~*
+
+Apple has yet again dropped a bunch of models, continuing their journey on discontinuing Intel Macs. With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.0, early support for macOS Sonoma has been implemented.
+
+## Versioning
+
+With 1.0.0, we'll be switching to a proper major, minor and bug fix system ([Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/)). This means the coming release will be version 1.0.0, and future releases plan to follow this scheme:
+
+- First digit: Major changes, including new OS support, API changes, and significant patch set changes, etc
+- Second digit: Minor changes, including incoming OS update fixes, minor patch set changes, etc
+- Third digit: Bug fixes, primarily hot fixes either due to a regression in prior release or resolving issues in already released OS updates
+
+
+## Newly dropped hardware
+
+* MacBook10,1:       MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017)
+* MacBookPro14,1:    MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)

+## Current status

+
+
+### Bluetooth
+
+Sometimes Bluetooth may not work after boot on pre-2012 models. Running NVRAM reset can alleviate it.
+
+Dual boots may also bring the issue back even after the reset.
+
+### T1 Security chip
+
+::: details Support for the T1 Security chip (Resolved in 1.1.0 and newer)
+
+Sonoma has removed support for T1 chips found in most 2016 and 2017 Macs. Therefore on these systems, the following will not function:
+
+* Enable or disable FileVault
+* Open the Password Settings window
+* Add fingerprints (if upgrading, existing fingerprints will be deleted)
+* Add cards to Apple Pay
+
+[More information here](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1103)
+
+:::
+
+::: warning
+Note that erasing the entire drive will remove the T1 firmware and it won't be reinstalled.

-## OpenCore Legacy Patcher not launching
-
-If the application won't launch (e.g. icon will bounce in the Dock), try launching OCLP via Terminal by typing the following command, make sure you've moved the app to `/Applications` before this.
-
-```sh
-/Applications/OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenCore-Patcher
-```
-
-## Stuck on `This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform`
-
-This means macOS has detected an SMBIOS it does not support. To resolve this, ensure you're booting OpenCore **before** the macOS installer in the boot picker. Reminder that the option will be called `EFI Boot`.
-
-Once you've booted OpenCore at least once, your hardware should now auto-boot it until either an NVRAM reset occurs, or you remove the drive with OpenCore installed.
-
-## Cannot boot macOS without the USB
-
-By default, the OpenCore Patcher won't install OpenCore onto the internal drive itself during installs. Instead, you'll need to either [manually transfer](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/oc2hdd.html) OpenCore to the internal drive's EFI or run this patcher's Option 2 again and select your internal drive.
-
-Reminder that once this is done, you'll need to select OpenCore in the boot picker again for your hardware to remember this entry and auto boot from then on.
-
-## Infinite Recovery OS Booting
-
-With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, we rely on Apple Secure Boot to ensure OS updates work correctly and reliably with Big Sur. However this installs NVRAM variables that will confuse your Mac if not running with OpenCore. To resolve this, simply uninstall OpenCore and [reset NVRAM](https://support.apple.com/en-mide/HT201255).
-
-* Note: Machines with modified root volumes will also result in an infinite recovery loop until integrity is restored.
-
-## Reboot when entering Hibernation (`Sleep Wake Failure`)
-
-[Known issue on some models](https://github.com/dortania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/72), a temporary fix is to disable Hibernation by executing the following command in the terminal:
-
-```
-sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
-```
-
-## Booting with a non-flashed GPU
-
-For Mac Pro, Xserve and iMac users with non-flashed GPUs, you can still easily boot OpenCore and view the entire boot process. To do so, make sure SIP is disabled (to allow NVRAM write access) and run the following:
-
-```sh
-sudo bless --verbose --file /Volumes/VOLNAME/EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi --folder /Volumes/VOLNAME/EFI/OC --setBoot
-```
-
-* Note 1: You will need to replace `VOLNAME` with the Volume name of your USB or hard drive with OpenCore.
-* Note 2: Once done, you can re-enable SIP.
-* Note 3: The EFI partition OpenCore was installed on must be mounted. If it's unmounted, simply rerun "Install OpenCore to drive."
-
-Once you boot OpenCore for the first time, LauncherOption will install itself as the top boot priority, making OpenCore always launch. Combined with `RequestBootVar`, all boot options must go through OpenCore, ensuring seamless usage even with OS installation and updates.
-
-## How to Boot Big Sur Recovery
-
-By default, the patcher will try to hide extra boot options such as recovery from the user. To make them appear, simply press the `Spacebar` key while inside OpenCore's Picker to list all boot options.
-
-## Stuck on "Your Mac needs a firmware update"
-
-Full error: "Your Mac needs a firmware update in order to install to this Volume. Please select a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume instead."
-
-This error occurs when macOS determines that the current firmware does not have full APFS support. To resolve this, when installing OpenCore, head to "Patcher Settings" and enable "Moderate SMBIOS Patching" or higher. This will ensure that the firmware reported will show support for full APFS capabilities.
-
-## No Brightness Control
-
-With OCLP v0.0.22, we've added support for brightness control on many models. However, some users may have noticed that their brightness keys do not work.
-
-As a work-around, we recommend users try out the below app:
-
-* [Brightness Slider](https://actproductions.net/free-apps/brightness-slider/)
-
-## Cannot connect Wi-Fi on Monterey with legacy cards
-
-With OCLP v0.2.5, we've added support for legacy Wi-Fi on Monterey. However, some users may have noticed that they can't connect to wireless networks.
-
-To work-around this, we recommend that users manually connect using the "Other" option in the Wi-Fi menu bar or manually adding the network in the "Network" preference pane.
-
-## No Graphics Acceleration
-
-In macOS, GPU drivers are often dropped from the OS with each major release of it. With macOS Big Sur, currently, all non-Metal GPUs require additional patches to gain acceleration. In addition, macOS Monterey removed Graphics Drivers for both Intel Ivy Bridge and NVIDIA Kepler graphics processors. 
-
-If you're using OCLP v0.4.4, you should have been prompted to install Root Volume patches after the first boot from installation of macOS. If you need to do this manually, you can do so within the patcher app. Once rebooted, acceleration will be re-enabled as well as brightness control for laptops.
-
-## Black Screen on MacBookPro11,3 in macOS Monterey
-
-Due to Apple dropping NVIDIA Kepler support in macOS Monterey, [MacBookPro11,3's GMUX has difficulties switching back to the iGPU to display macOS correctly.](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/522) To work-around this issue, boot the MacBookPro11,3 in Safe Mode and once macOS is installed, run OCLP's Post Install Root Patches to enable GPU Acceleration for the NVIDIA dGPU.
-
-* Safe Mode can be started by holding `Shift` + `Enter` when selecting macOS Monterey in OCLP's Boot Menu.
-
-## No DisplayPort Output on Mac Pros with NVIDIA Kepler
-
-If you're having trouble with DisplayPort output on Mac Pros, try enabling Minimal Spoofing in Settings -> SMBIOS Settings and rebuild/install OpenCore. This will trick macOS drivers into thinking you have a newer MacPro7,1 and resolve the issue.
-
-![](../images/OCLP-GUI-SMBIOS-Minimal.png)
-
-## Volume Hash Mismatch Error in macOS Monterey
-
-A semi-common popup some users face is the "Volume Hash Mismatch" error:
-
-<p align="center">
-<img src="../images/Hash-Mismatch.png">
-</p>
-
-What this error signifies is that the OS detects that the boot volume's hash does not match what the OS is expecting, this error is generally cosmetic and can be ignored. However if your system starts to crash spontaneously shortly after, you'll want to reinstall macOS fresh without importing any data at first.
-
-* Note that this bug affects native Macs as well and is not due to issues with unsupported Macs: [OSX Daily: “Volume Hash Mismatch” Error in MacOS Monterey](https://osxdaily.com/2021/11/10/volume-hash-mismatch-error-in-macos-monterey/)
-
-Additionally, it can help to disable FeatureUnlock in Settings -> Misc Settings as this tool can be strenuous on systems with weaker memory stability.
-
-## Cannot Disable SIP in recoveryOS
-
-With OCLP, the patcher will always overwrite the current SIP value on boot to ensure that users don't brick an installation after an NVRAM reset. However, for users wanting to disable SIP entirely, this can be done easily.
-
-Head into the GUI, go to Patcher Settings, and toggle the bits you need disabled from SIP:
-
-| SIP Enabled | SIP Lowered (Root Patching) | SIP Disabled |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| ![](../images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Enabled.png) | ![](../images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Root-Patch.png) | ![](../images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Disabled.png) |
-
-## Intermediate issues with USB 1.1 and Bluetooth on MacPro3,1 - MacPro5,1
-
-For those experiencing issues with USB 1.1 devices (such as mice, keyboards and bluetooth chipsets), macOS Big Sur and newer have weakened OS-side reliability for the UHCI controller in older Mac Pros.
-
-* UHCI is a USB 1.1 controller that is hooked together with the USB 2.0 ports in your system. Whenever a USB 1.1 device is detected, the UHCI controller is given ownership of the device at a hardware/firmware level.
-  * EHCI is the USB 2.0 controller in older Mac Pros
-
-Because of this, we recommend placing a USB 2.0/3.0 hub between your devices and the port on the Mac Pro. UHCI and EHCI cannot both be used at once, so using a USB hub will always force the EHCI controller on.
-
-* Alternatively, you can try cold-starting the hardware and see if macOS recognizes the UHCI controller properly.
-
-## Stuck on "Less than a minute remaining..."
-
-A common area for systems to get "stuck", namely for units that are missing the `AES` CPU instruction/older mobile hardware. During this stage, a lot of heavy cryptography is performed, which can make systems appear to be stuck. In reality they are working quite hard to finish up the installation.
-
-Because this step can take a few hours or more depending on drive speeds, be patient at this stage and do not manually power off or reboot your machine as this will break the installation and require you to reinstall. If you think your system has stalled, press the Caps Lock key. If the light turns on, your system is busy and not actually frozen.
-
-## No acceleration after a Metal GPU swap on Mac Pro
-
-If you finished installing Monterey with the original card installed (to see bootpicker for example) and swapped your GPU to a Metal supported one, you may notice that you're missing acceleration. To fix this, open OCLP and revert root patches to get your Metal-supported GPU work again.
-
-Alternatively, you can remove "AutoPkg-Assets.pkg" from /Library/Packages on the USB drive before proceeding with the installation. To see the folder, enable hidden files with `Command` + `Shift` + `.`
-
-The reason for this is that the autopatcher will assume that you will be using the original graphics card and therefore does non-metal patching, which includes removing some drivers for other cards. This causes Metal cards to not accelerate after swapping.
-
-## Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpad not working in installer or after update
-
-For Macs using legacy USB 1.1 controllers, OpenCore Legacy Patcher can only restore support once it has performed root volume patches. Thus to install macOS, you need to hook up a USB hub between your Mac and Keyboard/Mouse.
-
-* For MacBook users, you'll need to find an external keyboard/mouse in addition to the USB hub
-

+
+## OpenCore Legacy Patcher not launching
+
+If the application won't launch (e.g. icon will bounce in the Dock), try launching OCLP via Terminal by typing the following command, make sure you've moved the app to `/Applications` before this.
+
+```sh
+/Applications/OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenCore-Patcher
+```
+
+## "You don't have permission to save..." error when creating USB installer
+
+In some cases, a following error saying "The bless of the installer disk failed" stating the reason as "You don't have permission to save..." may appear. 
+
+
+<div align="center">
+             <img src="./images/Error-No-Permission-To-Save.png" alt="NoPermissionToSave" width="400" />
+</div>
+
+
+To resolve this, you may try adding Full Disk Access permission for OpenCore Legacy Patcher. To add it, first go to the settings
+
+* Ventura and Sonoma: Go to System Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Full Disk Access
+
+* Big Sur and Monterey: Go to System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Full Disk Access
+
+Enable OpenCore-Patcher in the list. If not found on the list, press the + sign to add a new entity and find OpenCore Legacy Patcher from Applications.
+
+Restart OpenCore Legacy Patcher and try creating your USB drive again.
+
+Optional: After you've created your USB drive, you can remove OpenCore Legacy Patcher from Full Disk Access again.
+
+
+## Stuck on `This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform` or (🚫) Prohibited Symbol
+
+This means macOS has detected an SMBIOS it does not support. To resolve this, ensure you're booting OpenCore **before** the macOS installer in the boot picker. Reminder that the option will be called `EFI Boot`.
+
+Once you've booted OpenCore at least once, your hardware should now auto-boot it until either an NVRAM reset occurs, or you remove the drive with OpenCore installed.
+
+However, if the 🚫 Symbol only appears after the boot process has already started (the bootscreen appears/verbose boot starts), it could mean that your USB drive has failed to pass macOS' integrity checks. To resolve this, create a new installer using a different USB drive (preferably of a different model.)
+
+## Cannot boot macOS without the USB
+
+By default, the OpenCore Patcher won't install OpenCore onto the internal drive itself during installs.
+
+After installing macOS, OpenCore Legacy Patcher should automatically prompt you to install OpenCore onto the internal drive. However, if it doesn't show the prompt, you'll need to either [manually transfer](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/oc2hdd.html) OpenCore to the internal drive's EFI or Build and Install again and select your internal drive.
+
+Reminder that once this is done, you'll need to select OpenCore in the boot picker again for your hardware to remember this entry and auto boot from then on.
+
+## Infinite Recovery OS Booting
+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, we rely on Apple Secure Boot to ensure OS updates work correctly and reliably with Big Sur. However this installs NVRAM variables that will confuse your Mac if not running with OpenCore. To resolve this, simply uninstall OpenCore and [reset NVRAM](https://support.apple.com/en-mide/HT201255).
+
+* Note: Machines with modified root volumes will also result in an infinite recovery loop until integrity is restored.
+
+## System version mismatch error when root patching
+
+Updates from now on modify the system volume already while downloading, which can lead to broken patches out of a sudden as well as a "version mismatch" error while root patching, since the operating system gets into a liminal state between two versions. The "version mismatch" error is a safeguard preventing OCLP from patching on a system that is in a weird liminal state, to avoid leading to a very likely boot failure.
+
+Currently there is a "PurgePendingUpdate" tool available [on the Discord server](https://discord.com/channels/417165963327176704/1037474131526029362/1255993208966742108) you can download and then run it in Terminal, to get rid of a pending update. This may be integrated into OCLP later on, however there is currently no ETA.
+
+Disabling automatic macOS updates is extremely recommended once recovered, to prevent it from happening again.
+
+## Stuck on boot after root patching
+
+Boot into recovery by pressing space when your disk is selected on the OCLP bootpicker (if you have it hidden, hold ESC while starting up)
+
+* **Note:** If your disk name is something else than "Macintosh HD", make sure to change the path accordingly. You can figure out your disk name by typing `ls /Volumes`.
+
+Go into terminal and first mount the disk by typing
+```sh
+mount -uw "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
+```
+Then revert the snapshot
+```sh
+bless --mount "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" --bootefi --last-sealed-snapshot
+```
+Now we're going to clean the /Library/Extensions folder from offending kexts while keeping needed ones.
+
+Run the following and **make sure to type it carefully**
+
+::: warning
+If you have **FileVault 2 enabled**, you will need to mount the Data volume first. This can be done in Disk Utility by locating your macOS volume name, selecting its Data volume, and selecting the Mount option in the toolbar.
+:::
+
+```sh
+cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD - Data/Library/Extensions" && ls | grep -v "HighPoint*\|SoftRAID*" | xargs rm -rf
+```
+
+Then restart and now your system should be restored to the unpatched snapshot and should be able to boot again.
+
+## "Unable to resolve dependencies, error code 71" when root patching
+
+If you're getting this error, it typically means you have some offending kernel extensions, to fix this you will have to clear them.
+
+Semi-automated way:
+
+1. Open Terminal
+2. Type `sudo zsh`
+3. Type `cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions" && ls | grep -v "HighPoint*\|SoftRAID*" | xargs rm -rf`
+   * Make sure to rename "Macintosh HD" to what your drive name is
+4. Run OCLP root patcher again
+   
+Manual way:
+
+1. Navigate to /Library/Extensions
+2. Delete everything **except** HighPointIOP.kext, HighPointRR.kext and SoftRAID.kext
+3. Run OCLP root patcher again
+
+If there is no success, navigate to "/Library/Developer/KDKs" and delete everything.
+
+If still no success, type `sudo bless --mount "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/" --bootefi --last-sealed-snapshot` 
+* Make sure again to rename "Macintosh HD" to what your drive name is
+
+Run OCLP root patcher again.
+
+## Reboot when entering Hibernation (`Sleep Wake Failure`)
+
+[Known issue on some models](https://github.com/dortania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/72), a temporary fix is to disable Hibernation by executing the following command in the terminal:
+
+```
+sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
+```
+
+## How to Boot Recovery through OpenCore Legacy Patcher
+
+By default, the patcher will try to hide extra boot options such as recovery from the user. To make them appear, simply press the `Spacebar` key while inside OpenCore's Picker to list all boot options.

+A common area for systems to get "stuck", namely for units that are missing the `AES` CPU instruction/older mobile hardware. During this stage, a lot of heavy cryptography is performed, which can make systems appear to be stuck. In reality they are working quite hard to finish up the installation.
+
+Because this step can take a few hours or more depending on drive speeds, be patient at this stage and do not manually power off or reboot your machine as this will break the installation and require you to reinstall. If you think your system has stalled, press the Caps Lock key. If the light turns on, your system is busy and not actually frozen.
+
+## No acceleration after a Metal GPU swap on Mac Pro
+
+If you finished installing Monterey with the original card installed (to see bootpicker for example) and swapped your GPU to a Metal supported one, you may notice that you're missing acceleration. To fix this, open OCLP and revert root patches to get your Metal-supported GPU work again.
+
+Alternatively, you can remove "AutoPkg-Assets.pkg" from /Library/Packages on the USB drive before proceeding with the installation. To see the folder, enable hidden files with `Command` + `Shift` + `.`
+
+The reason for this is that the autopatcher will assume that you will be using the original graphics card and therefore does non-metal patching, which includes removing some drivers for other cards. This causes Metal cards to not accelerate after swapping.
+
+## Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpad not working in installer or after update
+
+For Macs using legacy USB 1.1 controllers, OpenCore Legacy Patcher can only restore support once it has performed root volume patches. Thus to install macOS, you need to hook up a USB hub between your Mac and Keyboard/Mouse.
+
+::: warning Note
+
+In macOS Sonoma, this seems to have been further weakened and some hubs may not be functional. 
+
+Alternative way is making sure to enable "Remote Login" in General -> Sharing before updating, which will enable SSH. That means you can take control using Terminal in another system by typing `ssh username@lan-ip-address` and your password. After that run Post Install Volume Patching by typing `/Applications/OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenCore-Patcher --patch_sys_vol` and finally `sudo reboot`.
+
+:::
+
+
+
+* For MacBook users, you'll need to find an external keyboard/mouse in addition to the USB hub

+## No T1 functionality after installing Sonoma or newer
+
+If you notice your Touchbar etc not working, this means loss of T1 functionality. 
+
+Wiping the entire disk using Disk Utility with Sonoma or newer causes the T1 firmware to be removed, which due to removed support, the macOS Sonoma+ installer will not restore. To restore T1 functionality, Ventura or older has to be reinstalled. This can be done in another volume or external disk as well, as long as the OS is booted once. After this you can wipe the old OS or unplug the external disk.
