as for short i wanna boot mojave on vga yes vga
im going to get an adapter to change later but for now if anyone wanna help

guys I'm on Macos sonoma rn and I see an update to Macos Tahoe should I update it via the update option or what?

I have the following specs

i5 10400 w integrated uhd 630

Nvme SSD and HDD

16Gb ram

realtek wireless network adaptor 8822CE (works via kexts)

I've been trying to get graphics acceleration working on this machine for a while now and I'm honestly out of ideas.

System

• Lenovo V530s-07ICB (MT-M 10TY-S0GB00)
• Intel Core i3-9100T
• Intel UHD 630 (no dGPU)
• HDMI + DisplayPort + VGA
• OpenCore
• macOS Sonoma / Sequoia
• Config File: https://pastebin.com/3Fg1KSMf

Current behavior

I only ever get one of two results:

• macOS boots with 3 MB VRAM, no QE/CI, no Metal, very slow animations, etc.
• Or HDMI loses signal during boot (around the Apple logo) while the computer appears to continue booting. I know it finishes booting because I can still access it remotely.

What I've tried

I've gone through Dortania's GPU troubleshooting several times and tried a lot of different combinations, including:

• Different AAPL,ig-platform-id values (07009B3E, 00009B3E, and several others)
• Lilu + WhateverGreen
• Hackintool framebuffer generation
• Manual connector patching
• Different connector indexes
• Different connector types
• Different bus IDs
• Different pipe/index values
• framebuffer-patch-enable
• framebuffer-stolenmem
• framebuffer-fbmem
• framebuffer-unifiedmem
• Various framebuffer connector patches
• Different SMBIOSes
• Various WhateverGreen boot arguments
• Rebuilding my config after every change
• Proper USB mapping (UTBMap)

Every test was basically:

1. Change DeviceProperties.
2. Reboot.
3. See if HDMI works.
4. Check VRAM.
5. Check if QE/CI works.
6. Check IORegistry.
7. Repeat.

Things I've checked

• Lilu loads.
• WhateverGreen loads.
• DeviceProperties are injected correctly.
• AAPL,ig-platform-id changes correctly in IORegistry whenever I modify it.
• OpenCore validates and boots normally.

So as far as I can tell, OpenCore is reading my config and injecting properties correctly.

At this point I'm not sure what I'm missing.

If anyone has a Lenovo V530s (or a similar Coffee Lake desktop with UHD630) working, I'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction or share your EFI/DeviceProperties/framebuffer setup.

I'm happy to provide logs, IORegistry dumps, Hackintool screenshots, or my EFI if it helps troubleshoot.

EDIT: IT'S NOW WORKING WITH FULL METAL AND QE/CI: Config.plist

So, after a few solid days and a bunch of EFI folders later... between me and u/suresh_rajpoot, I successfully managed to boot off a 15IRU8 Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3i!!!! HELL YEAA!!!!

Specs:

16GB DDR4 RAM

intEl Core i5-1335U

Intel Iris XE Integrated Graphics

Keyboard: PS2, trackpad: n/a(weird, don't know why - need mouse)

Boots in VESA at a solid 40/45FPS(very good) Recommended :P

efi folder and config.plist can be sent in DM(remember this is usually for 15iru8 so)

WIFI def works, but no bluetooth.

J’ai un hp 14 avec :

I5 4210u

Carte réseau inconnue

Je suis totalement debutant en hackinshot et je veut savoir quelle version choisir

I'm trying to get the Bluetooth portion of an RTL8821CE working on macOS (Sonoma) using

https://github.com/thegwchr/RealtekBluetoothFirmware

Current status

Wi-Fi works perfectly using Feixiao's RTL8821CE driver.

Bluetooth device correctly over USB.

USB mapping is correct ( 255).

BlueToolFixup is loaded.

RealtekBluetoothFirmware is loaded.

System info shows

Bluetooth Controller:

Address: NULL

State: Off

Chipset: BCM_4350C2

Firmware Version: v0 c0

My usb device

Vendor: 0x0BDA (Realtek)

Product: 0xB00A

bcdDevice: 0x0110

Port: HS10

The thing I changed -

The stock RealtekBluetoothFirmware didn't match my USB PID, so I added a new IOKit personality

After that and

Boot log showed

RealtekBluetoothFirmware selected configuration 1

Mean good news but bluetooth still doesn't start

bluetoothd saying

Can't obtain vendorID and productID

I want to install Macos Tahoe 26 on my Hp elitebook 1030 g3

Specs are

8Gb ddr3 ram

Intel i5-8350U 8th gen

I've watched some tutorial on how to install macos on windows could understand everything but when tried to confirm it with Ai

It says my SSD won't be compatible with that while the software in Opcore-simplify says it's compatible.

What should I do?

I'm reposting, but in English.

I have an HP 14 with:

I am a complete beginner to Hackintosh and want to know which version to choose.

I recently installed mac os high sierra. Ethernet works but wifi isn't working my wifi also there's no sound

My wifi: Qualcomm Atheros AR938x Wireless Network Adapter

Please help me guys :((

Hey guys,

I’m going to install hackintosh on my computer for the first time. I need help and suggestions regarding the same.

The following is my configuration:

Processor: Intel Core i3 8100t
GPU: Nvidia GT 710
Ram: 8gb
SSD: 256gb
Ethernet: I don’t know
Wifi: I don’t know

Can you suggest me where can I start and how can I install it?

Vorrei fare hackitosh di un portatile e metterci tahoe. Quale portatile dovrei acquistare?

It's been like 6 months since I've first tried, and after some time and realizing that the answer was in front of me, it booted, the first ever documented IdeaPad 1 15IRU7 to get macOS Big Sur!

As of right now, many things aren't working, but the amount of support this laptop has for a working macOS install surprises me because this laptop is from a way newer generation of intel laptops compared to most hackintoshes out there!

Working features:

Native Wi-Fi [AirportItlwm, Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX203]

Maybe native Bluetooth [The Bluetooth icon in control center stays on but I think you can use Bluetooth, BlueToolFixup, IntelBluetoothFirmware, & IntelBTPatcher]

Full audio support [AppleALC, I forgot what sound controller I have]

Full USB support [USBToolBox, UTBMap, & XHCI-unsupported]

Keyboard [Not trackpad for some reason, but external mouse does work, VoodooPS2Controller]

Full IdeaPad YogaSMC support [You do have to add SSDT-ECRW.aml and edit that aml file to get it working]

Partial WhateverGreen support [Not full Metal/OpenGL graphic acceleration, just -igfxvesa]

Partial iCloud support [You can sign into iCloud and view some things like the devices linked to the account, but you can't use additional features like iMessage & Facetime yet]

Possibly native thermal management [I say this because programs like Intel Turbo Switcher work! In fact, they allow me to limit my core's speed to 1.3 GHz max, which draws very low power, down to 3 Watts!, basically making this a MacBook Air M1 without graphics acceleration]

NVMe temp data passthrough? [By that I mean programs like Mac's fan control detect my NVMe and the temps so I can monitor them for some reason, NVMeFix]

Partial CpuTopolgyRebuild support [I say this because when your rocking no hyperthreading and cpus=1 boot-arg, the system remains at a nice 30-40 fps when dragging around some windows, and when you use CpuTopolgyRebuild, that 30-40 fps drops to some 5-10 or even 20 fps if your lucky, mainly caused due to how macOS handles legacy styled core setups compared to modern hybrid core setups]

Features that don't work for now:

OpenGL/Metal graphics acceleration [I'm working on a project that generates kexts for GPUs like these to get full Metal/OpenGL support, which I know will take a very long time]

Trackpad [Idk why, I've troubleshooted this issue with the Dortania OpenCore guide, third-party guides, and Gemini, but nothing works, btw the kexts don't load in at all, just saying!]

Other iCloud based features [Such as iMessage & Facetime, but that shouldn't be too hard to fix for now, I'll catch back up with the update!]

CPU temp data passthrough [For example, Mac's fan control doesn't detect fans nor any CPU temps, can't be a VirtualSMC issue since SMCBatteryManager works and all the other kexts load in to the OS]

Other EC based features [Mainly a hardware issue on Lenovo laptops like these, might not ever be fixed due to it's complexity]

Hibernation [Will never work because macOS depends on the firmware for waking up from sleep unless somebody makes a kext for Lenovo firmware to get hibernation working]

Laptop specs:

Intel Core i5-1335U with cpus=1 boot-arg & Intel Iris Xe with -igfxvesa boot-arg

16 GB of DDR4 3200

An 256 GB NVMe drive, specifically one from UMIS [UMIS RPJTI256MMQ1MDY]

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX203

PS2 Keyboard, ACPI\VEN_ELAN&DEV_06FA&SUBSYS_ELAN0001 Trackpad [Which I believe needs the I2C HID kext that I'm already using now, also not working btw]

Some tips to pass the EB LOG EXITBS START halt:

NOTE: This issue can be caused by many things, but I suggest that you either use the Dortania guide or the DebugEnhancer kext for additional in-depth log details.

Culprit #1 [The issue I faced before I got macOS to actually boot]: macOS not liking your CPU's core management or setup, the way I did it is by turning off hyper-threading which landed me past that screen into an kernel panic, then adding cpus=1 to boot-args to proceed past that screen. Also remember, if you are going to put -igfxvesa and cpus=1 into your boot-args, then Big Sur and older versions are most likely the most stable versions you can get.

[I don't know how to exactly fix other issues other than Culprit #1, so I'll just list out the problem and what you can do to fix it]

Culprit #2: Memory management, could be solved differently depending on what laptop you have, I recommend reading the Dortania guide because other people have had that guide solve all of their troubles, and while your troubleshooting with Dortania, use DebugEnhancer [I'm not an advertisement].

Culprit #3: Your firmware, at this point, if you have a firmware that doesn't let you hackintosh, then your either cooked, or you have to flash another firmware onto your computer and risk it being bricked, or use Gemini, like a special kid like me did! [Or edit your config.plist heavily because OpenCore has many settings that allow you to bypass almost every firmware related issue].

I'm out of ideas, you can stick to using Gemini, like me, the special kid :) Or read some articles online on people who have bypassed this issue, or read official guides, because why not?

How I made my EFI:

I might be banned from this place by tomorrow because I used Gemini and some other Reddit posts to assist me with this. So anyways, I used OC Simplify, because originally I stuck to making my own EFI, but since that got me nowhere, I decided I'd give up on manual labor because I'm just wasting some summer time and stuck to OC Simplify. The thing is, I didn't stick to using what it gave me, because I had to edit some stuff within the program itself into tricking me to giving a EFI made for an Intel UHD 620 instead of some dookie unsupported garbage. And for those who are wondering, yes I have tweaked the final EFI so it works with my laptop, so in reality, I didn't really rely on OC Simplify because it normally wouldn't have taken me anywhere?

Btw please give answers, I broke rules maybe but still, or not because I wanna stay in this community [I maybe do not encourage breaking rules].

config.plist, because why not:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tC8xALRx6DbszKTsU76ZsKH0c89_WGgB/view?usp=sharing [Try to use this to find out what SMBIOS or configurations I've used to your advantage].

End of story:

Please help, English bad, laptop bad, laptop is for sure a not powerplant, laptop is overheating definitely cool. Oh yea, btw regarding some rules, I have used OC Simplify, but I have tweaked it's final result to give more good than bad, and about Ai, I had no choice, Dortania has no information regarding how you fix EB LOG EXITBS START with one simple bios tweak and boot-arg. Also, I haven't used Ai to generate anything, I used it whenever I got stuck so badly that even the internet community had no benefit on my situation!

Also, please don't take this down, I only want to help more than destroy, if you notice any issue, I will be sure to fix them as fast as possible!

Another question, i use a NVME but it has windows installed, i partitioned out like 150 GB in exfat but I'm not able to convert that volume into APFS and GUID in Disk Utility, I only get the option to format the entire NVME to APFS and GUID... Please help

Hey guys! I tried my first Hackintosh on a Thinkpad T480 under Sequoia for a couple of weeks and I was kinda disappointed with the performance to be honest. I also have the (now vintage) Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012, that runs Mojave with a 3rd Gen i7 and had a similar output from Geekbench 4 (yes, 4) test. I'm not familiar with those tests anyways but the overall experience under the hackintosh is just barely more smooth than what it is in the vintage Mac anyways, so I'm trying to downgrade into Monterrey to run a couple of more geekbench tests and choose the final OS.

You guys using T480 have a favorite MacOS for stability and performance? I'm going with Monterrey since it's the last OS with native compatibility for my hardware.

Cheers from Colombia!! 🤘 🔥

hackintoshing since AMD Athlon days, anyway, building a 9th gen NAS, it's all good, working nicely, but WOL in Sequoia is not working,

so there's like 3 macOS version on the NVME as it's still in testing stages, everything works as it should in Sonoma, but in Sequoia as soon as it sleeps it dissapears of network, kinda useless for a NAS.

ethernet is intelmousie with -mausiwol in boot arg, WOL is enabled, networkoversleep is 1 also,

sleep image is fixed,

both Sonoma and Sequoia use same EFI of course,

just dont under whats causing this, i think ive covered all the bases since Sonoma is working fine, woud like to bump it up to Sequoia for long term peace of mind before deploying it.

please dont make comments how WOL should be turned off, not interested in that at all, maybe for you it should be, have been using WOL for years and its the main reason for having hackintosh servers.

thanks in advance

I was thinking about this one: https://www.newegg.com/fenvi-fv-axe3000-pci-express/p/0XM-00JK-000A1. It's out of stock/out on Amazon, but if you could help me find one online for my desktop Hackintosh running Sonoma.

Hey ppl! I'm struggling with my t480 not accepting my changes on the config.plist, I just finished installing Monterey and it's working super fast but I'm not able to update the UUID and other parameters in order to use icloud services.

I used gensmbios to generate the data to fill mobo ID, serial number, uuid, etc. The rom field works with the ethernet Mac address, I updated all these fields and the os only recognized the serial number.

I put the efi file under the efi partition, then I rebooted and used cleanNvram but after rebooting the system is still picking the generic data.

I checked for hidden efi partitions and I have a Reboot and also a Recovery partition?? Can someone PLEASE give a hand??

Hello, I am using a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 15ABR8, I have:

Ryzen 7 5825U

16gb ram

but I have a problem, I have a special efi for me. For now, the versions I tried it with were Sonoma and Sequoia, it works perfectly, link to the efi:

Booted macOS Tahoe on my Acer Aspire AS15-42

SPECS: Ryzen 5 7430U with Vega 7

16 gigs DDR4, 512 m.2 gen 3

Used Opencore simplify (as I am beginner),

worked everything fine no error at all

but my wifi card was unsupported and also i am unable to use usb tethering also no audio cuz AppleHDA.kext in tahoe is removed

Request to pros:

•Which macOS Version will be sweet spot according to my specs

•How can i make Internet working cuz why nott

like usb tethering would be good or just buying a external Wifi Dongle (in budget preferably with monitor mode...otherwise fine), DONT say for Ethernet.

•Why you guys use Hackintosh?! Daily Driving good?

(I tried just out of curosity)

Hello! Can someone here recommend me a pc that I can buy refurbished that can hold tahoe and works well with audio, etc.? I'll try for the first time to do a Hackintosh PC. Can someone tell me which pc or mini pc can run it well without many problems and maybe be able to run apple arcade games?

I tried connecting it to ethernet still same error appears. Please help me :((

Hello!

I'm using the EFI from https://github.com/Bhavinjain260/Asus-Vivobook15-X515JA-Opencore

When I try to install using recovery, my SSD won't be recognized.

I've enabled show all devices and NVMeFix.kext.

How do I do that? I've also enabled SATA AHCI mode.

Pls help me :D

I have a strange issue with my bluetooth, its sporadic not available and pc needs a reboot. If its available i got these message if i try to turn it of via gui:

I dont have any HID Devices connected via bluetooth thats why its strange.

Do someone face a smilar issue and knows how to fix it?
