My specs are as follows I7 4790K Asus Maximus vii formula 16GB 1866mhz ddr3 ram 1TB 850 evo ssd Gtx 980ti

I’ve been trying to use a VM of MacOS to create the boot drive, but anytime I use the clover efi boot loader to get the drive ready the drive unmounts and it fails. Any suggestions would be great

I'm trying to have WHQL enabled on my bios as I dual boot into Windows and I like the boost in boot speed and the proper resolution of the windows logo/clover etc. When I enable WHQL on my bios t causes the defects seen in the video, basically rendering the computer useless until I reboot and turn WHQL off. I'd really like to sort this as it's my last compromise to having a hackintosh and it's a tad annoying!

​

I have:

​

MSI z270M Mortar

i7 6700k

nVidia GTX 1070ti 8Gb - Web drivers installed

16Gb DDR4

500Gb Sandisk SSD

6th Gen Intel Core I-5-6200u (3m cache, up to 2.8 ghz). 8gb LPDDR3 1866MHz. Intel (R) HD Graphics. 256gb solid state drive. 13.3 inch qhd. I have stock WiFi card in right now so I can still use my computer until I get this fixed. But I have a DW1560 ready to go when needed.

BIOS: Disable secure boot. Disable v/t for direct I/o. Auto os Recovery threshold to off. Set data operations to disabled.

I ordered a usb Mac OS Sierra online. I installed clover to the usb UEFI (usb was put into gpt) I mounted EFI Partition and replaced the clover file with the guide that I’m following of the same computer model. Dell xps 13 9350.

Guide I’m following: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-dell-xps-13-9350-macos-10-12-1.204730/

When I load into clover I click on Mac OS installer and I get a black screen with white circle through it. Kinda losing hope here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I've found a really cheap miniPC and I just want to know if i can install Mojave on there.

Thanks.

Hello, all—I posted this in TonyMac and got banned. :( I used the vanilla install method and didn't realize I couldn't ask for support there for non-TonyMac install methods. I thought if I posted the clover settings that I used, it'd be enough. Anyway, I'll move my discussion here, typing it all out again. :)

Configuration and Kexts used for installer

Clover Setup

I followed the Vanilla installation guide here.

USB Clover Bootloader

• AptioMemoryFix
• HFSPlus.efi
• ApfsDriverLoader (Basically, I followed everything here: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/clover-setup)

Kexts

• AppleALC.kext
• IntelMausiEthernet.kext
• Lilu.kext
• USBInjectAll.kext
• VirtualSMC.kext
• WhateverGreen.kext (it's included, but I don't know if I actually needed it since I don't have a dedicated GPU)

Installation

The installation went really well. It completed without issue. The end result was that I could boot into Mac OS from the main SSD while using Clover Bootloader (USB). The issues that I encountered weren't catastrophic, but they did make Mac OS unusable:

• Graphics The graphics were jittery and would sometimes freeze and lag for several seconds.
• Audio The audio wasn't recognized at all.
• Wired Ethernet Network This one was odd and hinders me from doing any google-fu from the Hackintosh itself. The network will work fine for brief moments, then it will slow to a halt, not allowing anything more than a crawl. A download won't complete, a speedtest will not complete, basic web browsing takes several minutes to load a page. Oddly, the system tools like iCloud Photos seemed to work okay—it was downloading photos without issue. That may have just been my imagination, but I monitored activity monitor and Photos was using the network fine. That being said, even pausing Photos network activity, I couldn't browse like normal.

What I've tried So, plainly, I don't really know where to go from here, which is why I'm asking for help. :) The vanilla guide that I linked to doesn't explain what to do after initial installation, which I am guessing the next step is to modify the EFI partition on the main hard drive so that it can boot from there as well as resolve the issues I'm seeing. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

While install omg my screen goes black and says. Deferred spawn of service 5 input output error. I’m trying to install Mojave’s please help

Hi guys,

Without getting into the details too much in my system I wanted to ask the community if they might know the answer, or if it's a quick fix. I had a stable system running of High Sierra on a separate HD, and then I decided to add another drive and give the dual boot system a try. I got my Windows 10 install going on a separate HD from the mac OS - but I forgot to disconnect my Mac OS HD during installation and my clover bootloader is gone. I can't get back into the mac - i tried physically disconnecting the drive the windows was installed on, and I also tried a bunch of different bios options.

Is there a quick fix for this? Or do I start completely over? And if I start completely over does anyone know where to find High Sierra? It's not in the app store anymore - it's mojave. Or if you need more information about my system - I guess I can figure that out. lol

I have an old computer, motherboard being Asus P5E3 PRO with a core 2 quad q9550 in. For graphics I have a gtx 720ti OR ATI 1600PRO graphics card. I am using a SSD for macOS. I successfully installed macOS to my SSD through the usb installer, (or at least I think I did) and it all went well. Then, when it was time to restart, it restarted, I unplugged the usb and then waited. It turned on, and then there is just a flickering cursor on the screen, with no indication of booting up. I have had a look around, and I just can't understand what they are on about. If somebody could give advice or assistance that would be amazing help! Also, I can give screenshots or pictures if nessessary. Thanks, Tom.

Like many long time Nvidia users I am both frustrated and frankly surprised at the ridiculous lack of support for my GTX 970 on Mojave. I have a fully working hackintosh which I use exclusively for coding and some minor graphics editing and design (full stack stuff) I am forced to run Mojave instead of High Sierra to remain in compliance with my companies Xcode standards. Have been making due with the fix that ports over drivers from high Sierra but the lack of acceleration makes it almost unbearable. I added a higher resolution monitor to the mix and now I might as well code blind. As someone who simply can’t transition to windows for the time being or even Linux for that matter (IOS development reasons), was wondering what AMD card would make sense. I’m trying to sell my 970 and get something equivalent at around the same price which yes, is pretty low end but I don’t need a crazy GPU I don’t game. What do y’all recommend that has near perfect comparability right now?

I got a pc for free, which I plan to use as a tv pc. Specs are:

-Intel 3rd gen i5 (non K) -16gb ram -Integrated graphics

Problem is to decide the gpu, since there fits only a low profile gpu and no possible to use riser card without too much work.

So my actual question is, can I use any (old-ish) Amd low profile gpu to get Mojave to work properly? My friend has one (don't remember the model) if he finds it.

I'm back again at my Fujitsu with Pentium E5500 and am trying to install El Capitan (I know it's very old hardware but I think it should work) Today I got this even before getting to the installation screen:

Any ideas? Or if anybody has a recommendation for a config.plist? :D

Hi all, i wonder if someone could help me install Mojave on z800 i cant get it working because it wont see install drives accept external drives. That's not something you would want to do because the hp only support usb 2.0, i hope you guys have a solution or could send me an existing threat because i cant seem to find one.

Hey all, Im building a Hackintosh/PC with an i9 9900k and a MSI Radeon Vega 64 8GB. 16GB of Ripjaws RAM using the ASUS ROG STRIX Z370 Motherboard (As suggested for hackintosh build). My cooling will be a corsair h100i platinum.

Theres a guide online (tonymacx86 pastrychef) to build this and the components seem like they'll work fine with each other. I know I know, the z370 has been replaced by the z390, Im just following the guide and the guy says its fine with the i9. I really like the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX / ATX case and was wondering if this setup will run way too hot for what I'm using (Considering ive heard it gets hot, but I've also heard its fine as long as you set up you front mount your radiator). Is there any difference in airflow between the mATX/ ATX Version? Which one is better overall?

​

Its one of my favorite case designs and honestly I really dislike the squarish look of a lot of cases on the market now. The sleek look of the Phanteks is very appealing to me but then again I dont wanna melt my CPU so that is a concern for me. ive heard mixed things saying the case is fine or that it gets too hot so any input would be appreciated. Thank you

Also, I was considering modifying a powermac g5 but thats a whole project and Im just trying to get this thing up and running at this point.

When my Mojave machine boots and enters the clover boot menu there are three boot options. One for Windows, one for Mojave and one which just says ‘Boot Windows from [BLANK]’. I want to hide the latter boot option. I am dual booting from using two different ssd and one hard drive for Windows for mass storage.

I have already managed to hide boot entries like recovery or prebooter using hide volumes in clover configurator but I don’t know how to hide the blank Windows boot option since there’s no volume name attached to it.

Anyone know?

I have completed a successful hackintosh using only this guide https://internet-install.gitbook.io/macos-internet-install/requirements...

It’s an internet type install. It’s Clover Vanilla and you can do your own kexts. Best part, it’s windows only so no need for another MacOS to download anything.

Rig: CPU: i7-4790 GPU: Sapphire RX 470(D) MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H (rev. 1.1) MAIN STORAGE: Intel 545s 512gb SSD

Is there any way to move clover or download clover to the boot drive so I can boot it from the drive rather than the usb stick? I’ve tried downloading clover onto the drive and copying the config.plist and the kexts over to the new efi folder, but when I boot from it, it takes me to windows after it fails.

Hi everyone,

I just found out a minor issue with my Hackintosh build. When I turn off and on my monitor the screen does not come back (black screen). I'm on the latest Mojave with Sapphire nitro+ RX Vega 64. Complete details of my build can be found here.

My sleep functions perfectly on both Darkwake=1 and Darkwake=0.

Thanks!

Hi. So I am a noob. I just installed Mojave on a Dell Inspiron 13z 5323.

The system is operational (I am using Mojave as we speak).

Problem is, I can't boot without going into Clover, then changing to config2. See here: https://imgur.com/Ocf80lh

Error I get when not changing is this: https://imgur.com/MYLhQFf

I have literally NO CLUE how to proceed. Yes, I got lucky!

THANK YOU!

Hi I just bought Asus Prime Z390-A with an i7-9700k after having i5-7600k with Asus Prime Z270-A. I have the problem that the installation won’t complete it freezes on 2 minutes left and won’t reboot to complete the installation. I have done a clean vanilla USB and i have used Coffee Lake config.plist.

Full specs:

Asus Prime Z390-A

Intel i7-9700k

Corsair Vengance 24gb 3000mhz

Amd Sapphire radeon rx 480 8gb

Samsung evo 970 m2 250gb

Please anyone can help me?

I have searched for a solution to this, but none have solved it. I replaced the config.plist file with one from a person with the exact same computer as me. He had a successful install. When in the Clover boot loader, it shows no boot drives, but shows options for shell, Clover boot options, etc. I replaced it with the default config.plist file and the drives show up just fine. I was having troubles booting to the macOS installer and figured if this guy had a successful install, I would, too.

Specs: Dell Inspiron 3668 Intel Core i5 @ 3.00GHz 8GB memory Intel HD Graphics 630

Thanks.
