Patch-HD4000-Monterey VS Opencore-Legacy-Patcher

Almost everything is working properly, except I can't boot into OS without mouse and charger plugged, OC throws some error and restarts to OC boot menu. Also I can't get VGA port working since Apple doesn't support this anymore. Bluetooth and Touchpad/Trackpoint should work fine, but I can't check that since I have these parts hardware broken. I was able to get iGPU work by updating from Big Sur and installing [Patch HD4000](https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey). I have an Intel AC-7260 Wi-Fi card if someone would be interested.

Try to follow these instructions (link1, link2). Updating from Big Sur is better method, also you should disable SIP in recovery mode before updating. And it works pretty well on my X230 (should work on other laptops too). Only main disadvantage of this patching I can't re-enable because it's breaking my installation.

It's a bit tricky, but it's possible to get it work. You can try follow these two instructions (link1, link2). I tried it on my X230 (I think it also applies to other laptops) and Monterey works pretty well (except I have to have SIP disabled).

If you used https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey for your patch, try seeing what they say in the repo or try asking there.

How would running Montery with it's memory leak issue help me??? All of that requires disabling SIP too. Not practical from a security standpoint. I'd have to manaully patch the Intel HD4000 driver into the OS with this: https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey. This is hardly a "solution" when Ubuntu works fine out of the box.

Bringing over some Big Sur components will get the HD 4000 working but you’d be doing surgery on the system files: https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey

At a guess I would say probably using OCLP - https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher - lots of life left in old Mac’s using that tool !

I had this issue, too. But luckily, I've got a solution. First, you'll need to check your MacOS Sonoma version. If you're using 14.1 beta, this method will NOT work. In such cases, I recommend installing the official 14.0. Thankfully, this commit (https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/commit/1aee2e5dfa12d10e218a51e4151ac2e96705ae9e) solved the problem! However, the latest OCLP 1.0.1 still doesn't have it. To use it, you can build OCLP from code or use the OCLP Nightly link found here. After you find the nightly link and download OCLP, build it onto your MBP, and after rebooting, install the patches. If you look carefully, you'll see that 'experimental T1 Patches' will be available in the list of post-installation patches.

From what I've assessed reading other posts, Monterey (Ventura has USB & stability issues) with OCLP 0.6.7 is the most stable install for this device (have not yet seen any reports using OCLP 1.0+, although happy to see some new non-Metal fixes going in). This is a bit of a bummer, as Monterey will not likely receive updates past end of 2024 (next year).

I'm not taking a position on OCLP being trustworthy or not, but at least the project appears to be 100% open source [0], which is more than we can say about Apple.

Have you explored https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher?

I have used it before and, in my experience and everyone else I know who has used it, the vast majority of time the newer versions run absolutely fine with no issues. Occasionally some newer features don't work, but I'd but confident that 2015/2017 iMacs would be able to run the latest version no problem.
