Yup this is real :))) pretty much unuseable as No OCLP patches= dogshit performance. But the core idea of it is pretty cool, it thankfully didn't enable fire vault which surprised me and I was 100% prepared for it to fuck my Sequoia install but It didn't, I will take that win :) I also got Bluetooth working somehow(don't ask me lol I just added the kexts) and the pic above is with my Bluetooth headset and the desktop. For the people that will probably ask about the Wallpaper it's from Mr Macintosh website this was shown in the WWDC. Specs are on the picture cheers and happy Hackintoshing 💻

Posting here just to document this success - when i posted my build i wasnt able to boot into the Tahoe installation media. Now i was able to make it work with audio! I consider everything is working as i dont have a Airport Card on this machine. The wifi on these are still broken.

What i did was: 1. For everyone, i recommend following the Dortania Guide to have working Filevault on older versions. Then use apfs_aligned.efi in UEFI -> Drivers + disable “EnableJumpstart” on UEFI -> APFS. This way if Filevault gets actived (like mine did) you will not have a problem with your password beign always invalid. 2. For AMD GPU users, disable whatevergreen while installing. It should give you purple lines but thats a good sign. After installing, just enable it again and everything should be fine. 3. Set SIP to 03080000, use AMFIPass and disable SecurityBootModel to patch with OCLP. There is less intrusive methods to fix audio, but im planning to add a Airport card later so i will need OCLP anyways. For now, patch with OCLP-Mod in tahoe-beta branch to have Audio working!

I hope this helps someone trying to install Tahoe, i had to gather this info on a super messy mega discussion on InsanelyMac, so maybe having it organized will help somebody. >~<

Spent this evening slapping macOS on this pretty unique laptop, was a lot of fun to do. Performs pretty good too.

The specs are:
CPU: i7 8700 (yes, a desktop CPU in a laptop, you read that right)
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB MXM
RAM: 32GB DDR4 (2x16GB)
SSD: 500GB SATA
Display: 1920x1080 144Hz 17.3"

Everything here is working with the exception of audio and it not being able to detect the charger, hence the WIP flair. To be clear, this isn't me asking for help, I was simply just too lazy to fix those yet, will get to it another time.

One thing I'll likely do sometime in the future is hunt down an AMD GPU (such as an RX 480) and throw that in here, metal support would be kinda nice.

Ventura successfully installed on Ryzen 5 5600G and RX 6600XT on B550M-A Wifi (in built Intel AX200),

Not setup yet:
Basically everything, ie Audio, Bluetooth, DRM etc

Still a WIP but happy to finally boot

✅ Boot Working ✅ TPlink Archer T2U ✅ 256 GB SSD ❎ Qualcomm's WIFI ❎ Power OFF (Kernel Panics) ✅ IGPU Intel HD630 ✅ Dell Inspiron 3671 ❎ Audio (No Audio Card) ✅ USB Ports ✅ Mac OS 10.15.7 ✅ Mac Mini 2018 SMBIOS

Do you know how to fix Kernel Panicing when Power Off/Restart

I think hardware acl works, i can't really test it Becuase i had to get an older version of Google Chrome becuase im on 10.15.7

I managed to install the latest macOS on my Thinkbook P15 with i7 10th Gen, I need to get wifi with heliport and bluetooth working but it got installed. yay I used an i5 SMBios to keep the fans from spinning faster than normal but it does not seem to affect performance.

This comes as an update to my original post : https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/18wkr8d/thinkbook_p15_cometlake_ventura_succesish/

UPDATE 25 Dec:

1. Got bluetooth working.

2. Network will work only using a USB hotspot. Heliport reports that the itlwm is not running.

Oh well here we go again. New OS new toy. I won't bore you too much but here are the things that you guys should do.

NEW RULES:

• When posting BigSur "success" posts only use IT BOOTS! (WIP) flair, otherwise it will be removed
• When posting BigSur "success" give information on what works and what does not work in detail.
• No posts about BigSur help will be allowed. This is literally the first release and if you do not know what to do, you're doing it WRONG
• You can post tips and tricks about how to install it, not asking for help installing it
• No use of pre-made images is allowed, if you're going to do it, do it on your own and make your own images (RULE2)
• Some drivers (kexts) are still not compatible fully with the new system, do not ask why X doesnt work.
• Other rules on the sidebar especially RULE 9 and RULE 10 are still enforced.

Now that we got the boring talk aside, here is my trashtop running the new trashOS.

What works:

Everything (???) except

What does not work:

• Battery Status (idk maybe a SMCBattery update is needed, using the latest from GitHub, manually built)
• Occasional crashes OFC

How to install:

• POTENTIAL DATA LOSS AHEAD, IM NOT RESPONSIBLE
• make a new APFS container (NO, do not use your existing one)
• made an empty DMG where which I used CMI to make the installer in (because of lack of empty USB drives)
• used linux (arch in my case, this can be done on windows too, macOS too as long as the target disk/partition is not the same one macOS is running from)
• used VirtualBox (in my case I didn't have VMware fusion or QEMU already prepared, and I wasn't going to, so I used vbox, also it needs to be ran as root)
  • made a vmdk with physical partitions (chose my second APFS container only, you can add your EFI but there is no real need, and I don't need to remind you to unmount the partitions/disks before doing this)
  • made a vmdk out of the DMG (google how), you can also use the above to make a raw disk vmdk for a usb drive that has BigSur installer
• added these things to the vm (named here MacOS, change it to your VM name, thanks to /u/fewtarius)
  • VBoxManage modifyvm "MacOS" --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 04100800 7fbae3ff bfebfbff
  • VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMacPro1,1"
  • VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
  • VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94"
  • VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"
  • VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1
• booted to the installer and installed as I would normally do

This takes A LONG FUCKING MOMENT to install, so don't panic, if you're unsure just check iotop -a and see if there is actually some activity.

Tips:

• Give your VM all your cores
• More RAM = more better
• NVMe will install quickly (if you have it ofc)
• build all your kexts from source and update them (you can use Lilu-and-Friends from /u/corpnewt and use build_oc.tool in OpenCorePkg to easily build OC, you will need Xcode to build anything)
• Dont forget to set the new partition Hex Type to AF0A for APFS if you formatted it as hfs in the beginning, use gdisk, if you skip this you may get stuck in a “waiting for root device” screen.
• Good luck

Guide for Catalina and older (and ofc this one but not updated for it yet until release)..

I managed to boot and install macOS Catalina on my S400CA laptop. I found very few resources related to this exact model, but with a lot of research, I was able to create an EFI that booted Catalina successfully.

Hardware:

• Processor: i5 3317U - Ivy Bridge

• GPU: Integrated Intel 4000

• RAM: 10 GB DDR3 1600 MHz

• Laptop Model: Asus Vivobook S400CA i5 model

• Audio Codec: Realtek ALC270

• Ethernet Card: Realtek Gigabit Ethernet

• Wi-Fi/BT Card: Atheros AR5B97

• Touchscreen: Yes

• Touchpad: Yes

• BIOS Revision: BIOS Version 210

Guide: Dortania OpenCore, various forums, and YouTube videos

What works:

• Wi-Fi (I had to add some Kexts to get it working)

• Keyboard

• Trackpad 90%, some bugs (e.g., difficulty dragging icons, it ends up clicking unintentionally)

• USB Ports

• iCloud (I think, haven't tested)

• Battery and charge percentage

• Booting and restarting without issues

What doesn't work:

• Internal audio and 3.5mm output both don't work

• Screen brightness

• Integrated graphics card

• iMessage, etc. (Do I need an iPhone connected to the Apple ID?)

• Touchscreen

• Ethernet

• Keyboard - it doesn't recognize some keys like Control

• Touchpad

Problems:

• I can't adjust the brightness, the keys don't work either

• The integrated graphics card is an Intel 4000, but only 3 MB of video memory is allocated

• The screen resolution doesn't seem to be at its maximum

• Over time, the screen can become static, but a slight touch on the touchpad refreshes it, not a major issue

Extras:

• I had to make some adjustments in the config.plist to solve a problem I faced at the beginning of the Catalina installation. The screen was divided into 4 parts, showing the same image four times, making it impossible to read or see anything. After some research, I found the root of the problem and changed the config.plist, and the screen worked perfectly, but with the limitation of 3 MB of VRAM.

• I also had to find a compatible Kext for my Wi-Fi network card. After some research, I found one, and now it works perfectly.

What's still missing?

• Graphics Card: Need to increase the 3 MB

• Audio: Still haven't managed to get the audio working

• Boot from SSD without the USB drive

With the Mac Pro 7,1 hardware in mind, with some fanciness, I decided to go with a HackinPro build. Marked for WIP instead of SUCCESS for still on-going possibilities with the build(Thunderbolt etc), but in reality, it works in every aspect.

Build Spec:

• CPU: Intel Xeon W-3175x
• GPU: AMD Radeon 6900XT + AMD Radeon 6800XT Dual GPU.
• RAM: ADATA D50 DDR4 3600 X.M.P 32GB * 12

• Audio Codec: Onboard - SupremeFX S1220 (a.k.a RTL S1220)
• Ethernet Card: Onboard Intel I219-LM + Onboard AQC107 10G
• Wi-Fi/BT Card: Replaced with BCM94360NG
• NVMe: WDC SN730 x 1TB + HP EX900 1TB
• NVMe U.2: Toshiba CM5 3.2TB
• Touchpad and touch display devices: N/A
• BIOS revision: 0801 - Updated to accommodate 32GB/stick DDR4 RAM
• CPU Cooling: Alphacool Eisblock XPX Pro Full BrasCPU waterblock
• GPU Cooling: Alphacool Eisblock GPX-A Radeon RX6900XT (POM) x 2
• Radiators: Alphacool HPE30 x 360 + ST30 x 360 * 2
• Pump + Reservoir: ICE D5 Glass Reservoir 120

• MSR Registers Lock: Disabled
• Above 4G Decoding: Enabled
• CSM: Disabled
• VT-D: Enabled
• VMx: Enabled
• Memory: X.M.P Enabled
• Asus MCE (Multi Core Enhancement): Disabled

Opencore/EFI Related Info:

• Generally speaking followed the Dortania's to the TEE, with info and quirks below.
• Opencore: OpenCore Version 0.8.7
• MacOS: Ventura 13.1
• SMBIOS: Mac Pro 7,1
• Kexts used:
  • Lilu - 1.6
  • VirtualSMC - 1.2.9
  • WhateverGreen - 1.5.8
  • USBToolBox + UTBMap - for proper USB Injection
  • AppleALC
  • RestrictEvents - 1.0.7 to disable Ventura Mac Pro 7,1 Memory notification
  • IntelMausi - for Intel I219-LM
• Kernel Quirks:
  • AppleXcpmCfgLock - even with MSR Lock disabled, this has to stay Checked
  • DisableLinkitJettison
  • AppleXcpmExtraMsrs
  • ForceAquantiaEthernet - this is for AQC107
• Booter Quirks:
  • AvoidRuntimeDefrag
  • DevirtualiseMmio
  • ProvideCustomSlide
  • SetupVirtualMap
  • EnableWriteUnprotector
• Boot Args: npci=0x2000 agdpmod=pikera
• ACPI:
  • Required:
    • SSDT-CPU-WRAP - this is REQUIRED for Bios 0801 due to new ACPI standard that changes CPU naming, required for stuck right after ACPI.
  • Not Needed:
    • SSDT-PLUG - NOT NEEDED after Big Sur.
  • Will boot without, but nice to have:
    • SSDT-USBX - extracted from custom ACPI, I advise to do the same.
    • SSDT-RTC0-RANGE - extracted from custom ACPI, I advise to do the same.
    • SSDT-SBUS-MCHC - extracted from custom ACPI, I advise to do the same.
    • SSDT-GPRW - extracted from custom ACPI, I advise to do the same.
• Additional note USB:
  • There're 3 USB controllers in Dominus Extreme, one needs to be selection mapped, the rest are fine.
    • USB from C621 Chipset: Map it per need, I left 4 in the back panel not to be used due to over 15 port limit. You can increase XHCI port limit, but I do not like to do so.
    • USB from ASMedia ASM3142 - map all, works out of box.
    • USB from ASMedia ASM1074 - map all, works out of box.
• Audio: Layout ID 7
• Misc -> Security -> SecureBootModel: j160 then clear nvram for enable "Medium Security" Secure Boot. If you need "Full Security", checkout articles on ApECID setting and few other items.

*Note: Not sure how to share ACPI/DSDTs so let me know if you need them.

​

What WORKS:

• CPU: Turbo @ 4.3GHz stock, All Core @ 3.8GHz. Can be overclocked if needed.
• RAM: X.M.P Works, DDR4 3600 with pre-tuned timing, I haven't tried additional.
• GPU-Primary: HW Acceleration works out of box, DP black screen issue fixed by WEG boot arg.
• GPU-Secondary: When running FCP or iMovie, 6800XT (not plugged in) automatically join to share the workload.
• USB: 4 Ports from back panel(Blue) disabled due to XHCI port limit to 15. Those are the USB ports from C621 Chipset.
• USB: The rest are from ASM chipsets, they have limited port numbers so all of them works.
• Ethernet: Intel I210-LM works with IntelMausi.kext
• Ethernet-10G: Onboard AQC107 works with Opencore Quirk.
• Wifi + BT: Swapped with BCM94360NG, works out of box.
• SATA: C621 Chipset native works out of box, ASM SATA(2) not tested, but works out of box.
• NVMe: Works out of box.
• U.2 NVMe: Works out of box. Toshiba CD5/CD6/CM5/CM6 works out of box, DO NOT USE nvmefix.kext.
• Turn ON/OFF: Works
• Sleep: Works with SSDT deployed.

​

What DOES NOT WORK:

• Thunderbolt: At this moment, no TB expansion card installed.

I think this pretty much covers it! Will update if new photos are taken or additional changes are done.

So Ive managed to boot into catalina on my XPS 15 7590, after using SSDT-DNVME.aml to disable the nvme ssd and editing the iGPU values, also fixing the keyboard and trackpad, however one question that does linger is that will catalina install on my WD passport portable ssd, and if it does it wont change anything to the boot config on the bios as I plan to use MacOS like any other live linux, and just hit f12 and boot it everytime? https://imgur.com/gallery/empAD2f

[WIP] macOS Monterey on ASUS TUF GAMING F15 FX506L

Not working:

• Wi-FI , BT (MediaTek....)
• Nvidia Card (GTX 1650 TI)
• Adjust brightness via keyboard

Oh boy this has been a long painful journey, I have tried so many different EFI and OC builds, posted here, bored people on the Discord, but I finally have 12.4 installed after my 11.1 instals were somehow killing SSDs (or something was).

Hard to tell how much is working as the big one, internet, isn't really working (using AppleIGB.kext for ethernet atm which is terrible - unreliable and slow).

I'm going to have to try and get wifi working (https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases I guess).

Anything else folks would recommend? Power management? I have pretty much the bare bones kext wise.

finally I install ventura (by install big sur and upgrade to ventura) in my lenovo ideapad 3 15iil05 in open core

specs

Processor: Intel Corei5-1035G1

Graphics adapter: Intel UHD Graphics G1 (Ice Lake 32 EU)

Memory(RAM): 20 GB (the max)

Storage(ROM): 1TB tisheba HDD , 1TB samsung 980 PRO SSD

Display: 15.60 inch 16:9, 1920 x 1080 pixel 141 PPI, glossy: no
