How to Get macOS Big Sur for Unsupported Macs

Are you tired of searching for a legitimate way to download macOS 12 on your unsupported MacBook? Look no further! In this article, we'll explore the Terminal command and Apple-approved methods to get the Installer.app of Monterey on your machine.

Firstly, let's clarify that we're not attempting to install Monterey on an unsupported Mac. We simply want to download the Installer.app for our own use. To do so, open the Terminal app and run the following commands:

`softwareupdate -list-full-installers`

`softwareupdate -fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version x.x.x`

Unfortunately, these commands won't list Monterey as an option. We'll need to explore other ways to get our hands on the Installer.app.

To make things easier for ourselves, ensure that your WiFi is set to Native-Plus and Boot Plist patching is enabled. If you're running macOS Big Sur 11.7 on your MacBook Pro, follow these steps:

1. Open Patched Sur and go to the Advanced Patches screen.

2. Press Start Unpatch Kexts and let it run its course.

3. Change the mode from Patch Kexts to Unpatch Kexts.

4. Click Advanced Patches and enter your password.

Some users have reported that updating to 11.6.5 will use the new patch by default. To avoid errors, make sure you've created a new installer USB or downloaded the latest patches obtained during updates or when creating a USB drive.

Non-metal Macs can no longer progress past the verify stage, unlike previously. However, this is not a major concern since they were never officially supported in the first place.

For those interested in beta tracks, it's worth noting that Apple has discontinued support for beta installers. You can still download beta installers and configure Patched Sur to use them if you prefer.

Recent updates to Patched Sur have fixed many issues, including:

* A terrible downloading screen when creating an installer

* Dead links within the patcher

* Possible fixes for big patch kexts errors (1x127)

* New WiFi patches, including Native-Plus, which is now the default setting

As of now, the patcher is not signed. However, it has introduced personal hotspot support for some users and is stable in most cases.

Before concluding, it's essential to note that while the current patch works well most of the time, there are still some issues with personal hotspots and WPA2 Enterprise networks. WiFi connectivity may also be intermittent or unreliable for some users. We recommend trying the WiFi patch from Mini Monterey on Big Sur to see if this resolves any connectivity issues.

In summary, getting macOS Big Sur for unsupported Macs requires patience and a willingness to explore alternative methods. By following these Terminal commands and Apple-approved patches, you can download the Installer.app of Monterey on your machine. Remember to stay patient and adaptable, as updates may resolve some of the current issues with connectivity and patching.
