Asus B360M - i3 9100F - RX 550 - Sabrent Rocket - Fenvi T919 - Ventura 13.3.1
I did the upgrade using a mix of the classic Dortania guide + Open Core Auxiliary Tools (OCAT) which is super useful to be honest.

Help me to fix config.plist file
Use this. It checks your config. Updates kext and OC. https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools
-
No schema(s, in description)
Your config.plist don't match with your OC version. Use OpenCoreAuxiliaryTool or ProperTree to update oc and plist.

Side note: I only started to use OCAuxiliaryTools today to make things easier. ProperTree was getting a little hard to follow some time =)

OpenCore updating
Maybe give OCAT (https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools) a try. I did a 0.7.x to 0.8.7 a while back without incident as well as just bumping to 0.8.9 the other day.

Easiest way to Hackintosh a ThinkPad T470?
He made a nice tool that can also be used to update: https://github.com/rusty-bits/octool
-
I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
just use my octool if you want something that just works without needing a "fancy" GUI on it like OCAT
- What OS is support on .70?
- For those that use octool, or perhaps for those that have wanted to try it out, I have just added a simple picture guide that shows some basic usage. I think a few more pictures need to be added, but it's a start.

When do you choose to update your OpenCore bootloaders?
I wrote this https://github.com/rusty-bits/octool that takes care of everything, including adding or removing any changes in the config.plist and downloading the latest versions of the kexts and resources from Acidanthera and Dortania
-
Config possible to hackintoshed ?
I haven't updated that tool in months, you should switch to the new one that pulls all its resources from the sources listed in the guide. https://github.com/rusty-bits/octool
-
That's it, I have had it! Now I need some assistance...
next, make sure your copy of ProperTree is up to date, or you can use the latest version of my tool which has the benefit of downloading the proper resources for you, but it is not covered in the guide so I would recommend sticking with ProperTree since other people are more familiar with that

octool, a tool to help edit an OpenCore config.plist and make an EFI folder from the command line - now at version 0.3.3
I am rewriting octool in Rust to help me learn the Rust language. The latest release contains binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux and should run fine and make an EFI folder without issue. Let me know if there are problems.
