![]() ![]() Now, I know OCLP users should avoid betas, but 13.3 update was NOT marked as beta, and there was NO official OCLP version on GitHub beyond 6.1 which I already had installed and applied. I'm not a big fan of updates, but 13.2.1 and priors had a bug with sporadic VPN disconnections, which I hoped was fixed in 13.3. ![]() So, as some may have noticed, Apple dropped a 13.3RC update this Friday. Opposite goes to Apple who is totally capable of supporting these machines (as OCLP devs prove over and over again), yet for marketing / financial / other evil reasons decide to drop support and force people onto new, often less reliable and less functional models (with missing F-keys, bad keyboard design, soildered SSD, missing ports etc) Now the full story for people googling it (trigger warning: lots of ranting towards Apple's interns who work this stuff, as I cannot imagine professional coders push releases of such quality to production).įirst of all, big respect to OCLP devs for their hard work and thanks for giving 2nd-3rd-etc lives to our outdated but _perfectly_ functional computers. I just wish all this was mentioned in OCLP docs, as I had to google all this stuff from a safe-mode Safari, which probably is the closest imitation of Hell on Earth if it was running on the internet.īut due to the fact that root patches CANNOT be applied in safe mode (unlike post-install patches), it got me confused and wasted lots of time figuring this out the hard way. your system should boot properly upon restart. This CAN be done in safe mode, unlike the root patch installation, which fails with `the volume is supported but damaged, try the " readOnly" option` message. ![]() while in safe mode, download the latest OCLP build (see above), and re-apply _post-install_ patches. boot in safe mode (hold Shift and press Enter when selecting boot partition upon restart) If however, you accidentally forgot to do that (like I did) and ended up with a non-booting system (error message `Couldn't alloc class “AppleKeyStoreTest”`): Tl dr: use _nightly_ build of OCLP (version 6.2 something, example: ) and patch + post-boot root patch BEFORE updating your Ventura. Sharing my weekend experience with updating Ventura 13.2.1 to 13.3RC on MacBookPro11,3 (spolier: it was painful but SUCCESS in the end). ![]()
