I have a Haswell build with Sonoma installed, and because it is an ITX board and has an OSXwifi Apple Broadcom card with an adapter in the Factory miniPCie slot OCLP was installed with patches
and SIP has been disabled and the proper kexts for the Broadcom card have been installed. This drive is too small it was what I had lying around and it was 500GB in size until a new 1GB drive
showed up that was on order. (Both are 2.5" SSD's)
I tried CCC and SuperDuper. CarbonCopyCloner will not make the drive bootable as the kernel has been modified by OCLP and Sip is disabled and the boorarg amfi=0x80 although I believe CCC will copy the opencore EFI file anyway.
So I downloaded the Sonoma installer wiped & formatted the drive with the Attempt to clone from CCC and Installed Sonoma on the new 1TB drive. I use the Apple migration tool in the installer to copy the files from the smaller drive.
So OCLP will probably not be installed, and Copying the EFI from the smaller drive as-is is not going to work, as I will probably need to re-follow your Guide to get the Wifi working again.
So should I reset SIP and secure-boot in the config.plist. take out the boot arg, disable the wifi kexts temporarily, and then copy the EFI to the new larger drive and Boot for the first time?
Then Follow the Guide for getting the wifi working again? Install OCLP, patch, re-enable secure-boot, Re-Enable the wifi kexts, add in the boot-arg? (block will stay as is)

Why need to copy the OCLP when you can just download it again? Every Desktop Motherboards are equipped with an onboard Ethernet. So you can connect to internet using that.

SuperDuper or CCC does not copy the EFI. The EFI will be only copied when you do a full disk image using any software (such as Acronis).

If you have a installation on which the System Volume is already patched, you must follow the steps of the WiFi on this forum and then you can login back to the installation. Of course, if you do not have the EFI, you'll need to prepare one.
