Hello! Do you have worked DisplayPort With SMBios MBP14,1? I used OpenCore Legacy Patcher for my T440p and iGPU good worked. BUT! I can't get work DisplayPort signal with MPB14.1

[ahmedyarub]

Where can I get the recovery image file from? I could get the installer's DMG and converted it to img but it didn't boot.

No recovery image is currently available until the release. You will need to manually upgrade to Ventura, but I don't recommend it as it is very unstable at the moment.

I have not tried it yet, but I will look into it later.

The upgrade failed miserably. I could make a bootable hard-disk and for some reason OC is not recognizing it...

[valnoxy]

Did you press the space bar while you were in OC? OpenCore hides some drives by default.

[ahmedyarub]

I tried that yea. I tried both using a .img and a real hard-drive with USB-passthrough. Still nothing :(

[MultimediaLucario]

I'm really excited to see the final result with macOS Ventura support! 😁

[MultimediaLucario]

I'm currently using a slightly tweaked version of your Monterey EFI on my ThinkPad T440s and it works amazingly well.

[cezarkrc]

Ventura is now released. Is any new code update ?

is it possible to spoof the smbios to macos kind of like oclp does?

[Jonyx4]

What's the current status of this release? Thank you!

Hello, I've managed to install 13.2.1 on X240. It boots, but after patching graphics with OCLP it freeze at boot logo after restart.
Also tried to patch with SMBIOS for MBP11,1 and revert to MBP14,1... but gave me the same result.

With my current EFI from Monterey 12.6 (OC 0.9.2) I'm able to boot into Ventura, I have audio and Wifi but no Graphics Acceleration. I hope to be able to upgrade with the help of the Community! :)

Please, can you share with us your EFI?

Hello, i am using ventura by macos-13-ventura branch , but hd 4600 gpu is only 7mb, very slow. Now I find a fix method from
https://github.com/OakSaytr527/t440p-ventura-oc :
"Use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to patch your Ventura install. This is because Apple dropped support for HD 4600 graphics with Mac OS Ventura, and unless you want a painfully slow experience on Mac OS, then this step is required."

steps detail from http://imacos.top/2022/09/26/2310/ :

1. download OpenCore-Patcher and install
2. add and enable AMFIExemption.kext to EFI
3. download OpenCore Configurator V2.63.1.0
4. open and modify config.plist by OpenCore Configurator V2.63.1.0:

config.plist -› nvram -› 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -› Add->boot-args->add amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1
config.plist -› nvram -› 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -› Add->csr-active-config->modify to FF0F0000
config.plist -› nvram -› 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -› Delete->add csr-active-config

5. restart pc
6. open opencore-patcher.app, click 'Post-install Root Patch'->'Start Root Patching'....reboot pc....finish

finally, Intel HD Graphics 4600 7 MB to Intel HD Graphics 4600 1536 MB, gpu is normal.

Before following this guide do we just need to change the SMBIOS to MacBookPro14,1 and add the CPU Friend kext or are there any more steps？

I just changed to MBPro 14,1

Ok, thank you!

[MultimediaLucario]

Are you going to make macOS Ventura support stable for the T440p?

[loonalol]

has anybody managed to get the mini display port to work with a patched igpu?

Mine works fine on Ventura with valnoxy's EFI

odd, which version of ventura?

[postkevone]

odd, which version of ventura?

13.6, however I forgot to mention that I am using a mini display port to HDMI adapter, maybe that is why yours is not working.

I tried a mini dp to hdmi aswsell it does work but it's really slow (1920x1080@30hz), also does your bluetooth work by any chance?

I have a native card so my bluetooth works fine (I enabled it with OCLP). Try to see if the device properties of your GPU looks like this:

HDMI works fine for me on Sonoma 14.1, however sometimes I need to disconnect the adapter and re-connect it in order for it to be recognized by the system.

Congratulation to manage to install Sonoma but How could you upgrade because MBPro14,1 isn't upgradable for me

[MuhamadSelim]

WIFI Not Working
still reviewing all

[postkevone]

@MuhamadSelim MacBookPro14,1 natively supports Sonoma, so if you are not able to download it directly from the App Store you are doing something wrong.
Wifi depends on the type of card you have, if you have intel you will have to use the 2.3.0 alpha version of this: https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases
Otherwise follow this guide for other unsupported cards: https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/blob/main/14_OCLP_Wintel/Enable_Features/WiFi_Sonoma.md

Thanks for sharing now its working perfect on t440p

I have successfully installed ventura on my t540p laptop everything working perfect but my GPU is showing 4mb

i already followed the above steps but when i do the last to step to patch my ventura mac os and then restarts ,

after restarts the system not booting it shows me a mac os error dialog that mac os encounter some issue that is why it not booting,

so any please me that to figure out this problem

[techdevmaestro]

hey guys,
i installed the ventura with the patch but my touchpad is acting kinda weird for ex. when i'm moving windows it's slow and scrolling is working on the beginning but then it's stopping to work it's an t450p touchpad so maybe that the fault can anyone help with it?
edit: my display port isn't working either
edit2: installing VoodooSMBus helped with the touchpad but i still can't get the second display to work

I have not seen evidence or anyone responding to proper questions on ventura or sonoma, i tried both and got working acceleration and ok performance, but firefox and brave would not work, i suspect more issues, just finished downgrade to monterey and its working with no patch, last i remember early monterey had issues so i stuck with big sur, it seems monterey is the farthest T440P/Haswell Graphics
