Unable to receive updates

[mikigal]

Since Monterey updating is in general a complicated process. Since Beta 6 you must set SecureBootModel in your config to j137 if you use iMacPro1,1 or j160 if you use MacPro7,1. When you set it, then start downloading update and instantly set it to Disabled again, you must do it before it start updating.

On Beta 7 there's additional step needed - first update stage (booting from Macintosh HD volume) must be done on iMac17,1 (e. g. from second OpenCore on pendrive). Remember to generate new SN and other SMBIOS data for it. After first reboot you must back to your original SMBIOS.

It's not known if it will be needed in the future, we even don't know why iMac17,1 method works.

Thank you for your explanation

I tried, but it didn't work

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil enroll DeveloperSeedUse this to receive updates after the terminal executes

I thought that you already installed Beta Profile. For Public Beta you can get it from Apple's website, for Developer Beta use https://betaprofiles.com or Seeding.framework method. Even with installed profile you may have issues with updating Monterey, if you have any problems try method described above.

I did the beta 6 installation on the U disk. Is this equivalent to no beta profile

[kristinaking]

However, the software update prompts that this MAC has been registered in the apple development seed program

It's okey. If you don't see Beta 7 update (it was released yesterday) you have to use method described above.

OK, thank you
