• Boot → Boot Mode → UEFI

Basic Installation

• Download and install the latest release of OCAuxiliaryTools for the system you are using;
• Download this repo and open config.plist on OCAuxiliaryTools;
• With OCAuxiliaryTools fill config.plist with the closest info to your hardware. You will also need a matching SystemUUID and SystemSerialNumber as shown here:
• Create a Bootable USB for MacOS by using by Dortania's OpenCore-Install-Guide. (remember to add our EFI to the Bootable USB and to select MacOS Monterey or Ventura Beta 2 when downloading the system)
• [IMPORTANT] Make sure to Generate system definitions of MacBook pro 14.2 in config.plist file using OCAuxiliaryTools or GenSMBIOS & add SystemSerialNumber, SystemUUID and MLB.
• Install MacOS to SSD / Hard drive. (While installing, connect USB keyboard and mouse).
• After installing the system copy ALL the contains of this Repo inside the EFI partition of SSD / Hard drive. (Will don't want to need your USB stick to boot everytime, but it's good to keep a copy of the EFI on it even after the install)

Post Installation

• If you have Installed MacOS on SSD, Enable TRIM using following command (not recommended if dualbooting within the same drive):

$ sudo trimforce enable
