Hi, I'm totally new here and I really need some information on what I should do to make my virtual machine that runs macOs 10.13 like a real Mac (so I can get Two-Factor Autentification, iMessage and everything). I know this reddit is more for real hackintosh and not really for virtual machines but I only have a laptop and none of my component can work with any kind of tweaks (I already tried many things that never ended up okay) and because I couldn't find any information on how I could do what I want for this vm to work like a real mac, I'm asking here desperately to find someone who can help me with it.. Tell me if I'm doing something wrong on this post or I should give you more information about the setup and every thing.

Due to problems with a black screen after turning it off and on again a user suggested to switch from HDMI to a DP cable.

The problem with the black screen is vanished. But now the clover boot screen is in 720p max. Prior it was in 4K.

I tried switching clover display settings and disabling CSM in bios, but nothing helped.

Anyone some tips on this? Thank you.

Currently I'm having issues with USB (aka still waiting for root device, can't even get to the installer). Are there any patches available? Or even a proper EFI folder? And no, IOUSBFamily or any other kexts did not help at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

I feel so dumb and I'm still in shock.

Yesterday I booted into Windows and I wanted to delete a partition from a 500GB drive. Instead I've deleted my entire hackintosh partition (1TB) with most of my data in it.
Since then I haven't touched a thing because I was worried I could make things even worse.

This is how the drive looks now ​

The hackintosh was installed with Clover and formatted in APFS file system in a NVMe drive. Drive is now Unallocated.

Is there a way to recover any data at all or even better clone the entire drive and recover it completely?
I managed to get a 2TB drive just in case.

I do have a backup with SuperDuper but it's from 7 months ago and there's still a lot of data I would need to recover since then.

I have no idea where to start and I'm ready to pay for methods/app if there's need to.

I've read that EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard could help but in fact I don't know if the Windows version would be able to recover files from an APFS file system.

Hi,

PROBLEM: Catalina doesn't boot after vanilla install, repeatedly fails Gfx load process.

AIM: ultimately I am trying to build a dual boot win/macos system that can boot into either OS without switching the HDMI cable from IGP to 1080ti port. Realise that this may not be possible, so otherwise a dual boot system where I need to switch the cable manually is also ok.

HARDWARE:

• MSI z270 Gaming Pro, i7-7700k, GTX1080ti
• 32gb RAM
• 1*256gb M.2 (windows system disk)
• 1*1tb M.2 (macOS system disk)
• 1*1tb hard disk (shared data drive)

STATUS:

• successfully installed vanilla Catalina using Clover installer and a clean Catalina install file from Apple. Monitor plugged into the motherboard and using IGP. Network & iCloud worked fine, audio did not work.
• after completing the install and before copying the config.plist and kexts to the EFT folder, I tried to clean the config.plist according to the kaby lake instructions here.
• After cleaning the config.plist the system doesn't boot, and in verbose mode shows an error at this point:

​

Begin Gfx firmware load process ForceWake Multithread = 0x30002 CONFIG0 (0xD00) = 0x80000000 GT_THREAD_STATUS = 0x400b0000 Doing retry #xx Hash data from ME never returned, status = 1, doing retry 

This is repeated 50 times before the system reboots.

I've attached my config.plist file here and a screenshot of my kexts folder. Would be grateful for any help in fixing this!

Separately, what should I do to get audio to work (Realtex ALC1220 codec) and whether it's possible to get the system to boot from the 1080ti at all.

Thanks!

i bought fenvi bcm94360cd card which works perfectly on windows and worked out of box in macos but wifi had some problems in macos i can't connect to 2.4ghz sometimes it connects but it's very slow and unstable but if i connect to 5ghz it works just fine this does not happens in windows i tried bcrmfixup and resitting the antenas which didnt help please help!

I've recently picked up an XPS 9380 and am wanting to get macOS installed onto it. The WiFi card is unfortunately soldered onto the board, so I'm stuck with using a dongle.

Anyone have any recommendations for a decently priced dongle that works with Catalina.

I previously had a hackintosh that worked well until an update that came out broke it. I’m considering resinstalling OSX on my computer but I’m curious how the updates are and if they’re better with opencore than with clover?

Before it seemed like a crap shoot weather a new OSX update would break your otherwise working install. Has anything changed with this or am I missing something ? /r/

I am clueless when it comes to SSDTs.. Any help would be much appreciated.. Where do I add the line for If (_OSI("Darwin"))? Is it even needed in this SSDT? I need to "Adjust [my] SSDTs with If (_OSI ("Darwin")) {}" so that these patches are only applied when I boot to the MacOS drive, and not my windows drive. (this is according to OpenCore Vanilla guide)

Headline says it all. Breaker tripped because wife was messing with a floodlight in the room over and now on boot I'm getting this message and nothing happens.

This is pretty urgent as I use this machine to work from home for my 9/5.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H CPU: Intel i7-3770K (Ivy Bridge)GPU: Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB Mojave 10.14.6

Hello, I am using an HP ProBook 430 G5 (Intel core i5 8250U, UHD Graphics 620, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD + 512 GB HDD).

I am kinda new to hackintosh and I tried to install Mojave with this tutorial. I can't boot the installer on the USB Stick.

Here is my Clover folder.

Here is a photo of my computer stuck with logs readable.

Here's my usage scenario:

I have a dual-boot machine running Windows 10 on one SSD and MacOS Mojave on another. 90% of the time I turn on my PC I let it boot into MacOS because that's the OS I feel most comfortable with/has access to all my calendars, contacts, mail etc. I also edit a lot of videos in Adobe Premeire.

But 10% of the time I want to play games on Windows, including VR via Oculus and SteamVR. I hate the hassle/time spent rebooting from one OS to another, and so I'm wondering if there's any option for me to run both systems on one OS via virtualisation.

Now as I understand it, I will be losing performance via virtualisation because obviously it has to essentially run both OSs at the same time, and seeing as my most high-usage scenario is probably gaming/VR, it would make most sense to run MacOS on a VM inside of Windows 10. I've also heard I might need a separate GPU in order to do this, but I just so happen to have upgraded mine recently and have the old one in my cupboard.

So my questions are:

• Given my usage scenario, should I run MacOS inside Windows instead of dual-booting?
• If so, is there a way I could use my existing MacOS installation on SSD #2 to run as a virtual machine in Windows on SSD#1?
• I'm guessing there would be ZERO possibility of running Windows 10 in a VM on MacOS and still hoping to get decent performance for things like gaming/virtual reality, right?
• If I then wanted to do video editing in Adobe Premiere, would I see a major performance hit trying to do something like that in MacOS via a VM running on Windows? Would it make much more sense to do anything more system-intensive than simply browsing in Chrome or watching Netflix in Windows instead of in a virtualised MacOS? I can of course use Adobe Premiere on Windows instead of Mac but prefer using it on Mac as I get to use my Magic Mouse's gestures which don't seem to work on Windows....

I'd really appreciate some advice on this as I feel like there must be a simple way to make switching back and forth between my Windows and MacOS drives faster than simply rebooting my PC every time I want to play Doom.....

Hi , I’d like some instructions/tip in how to make my gaming laptop a Dell Inpirion that has a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-7300HQ with an Nvidia GTX 1050, is it possible to do it on it? I love using windows but I feel more comfortable using MacOS.

My first Hackintosh. Seems to work well. just had some graphic lag on this site when I switched between full screen. Some mouse lag and or not working at points?( I think it might be the HDMI cable maybe I need to go to display port with a monitor.

Hi all, can somebody post the checksums for macOS 10.15.3 (all files in the package).

Many thanks in advance.

I am thinking to add a 2nd SSD. 1st one has Windows 10 and 2nd will load MACOS. is it possible? The laptop Lenovo has 2 separate SSD slots.

Below is the hardware configuration:

-- Lenovo P52, Intel i7-8750H, 64GB RAM, 1st SSD 1TB, 2nd SSD 500GB, NVIDIA Quadro P1000

Can you also please advise where I can find online guide to follow through?

Thank you very much.

Hello all,On my laptop (Thinkpad X230) I have 2 SSDs:

- Samsung 830 256Gb (sata)

-Toshiba 256Gb m-sata

I installed windows 7 uefi (using rufus) on the m-sata one. Installed 10.5.3 on the Sata one.

Everything was running.I had a problem with MacOS and formated the whole drive , and installed it again. Clover sees Windows partition but can't boot it, black screen.

Is there any way to easily solve this booting problem?

​

On Lenovo's UEFI menu, I can't boot to Windows boot manager also.

Thank you for your help.

Motherboard: MSI-H81M-P33 - unlocked BIOS CPU: i5 4690K GPU: Intel HD4600 HDD: 500gb 7200rpm, Windows 10, Ubuntu Install method: OpenCore Vanilla Guide, Haswell plist configuration, SSDTtime for building ssdts, MultiBoot - 1 Disk Windows Linux.

Basically I need help with configuring my EFI partition to recognize OpenCore so that I don’t need to use the USB to boot. I followed the post install instructions on OpenCore but they seem to just say to wipe the whole EFI partition but I have a dual boot going already.

You can see my EFI partition structure in the link: Imgur

Per the guide, I copied the USB EFI folder to the EFI partition. Is this right? if there’s a way to add Ubuntu and W10 to OC’s boot loader that’d be awesome too but really I just want to stop using the USB.

Hi, friends. I've done a couple of hackintoshes, both with tonymac and the straight vanilla, using clover as a bootloader. I've done a intel 870 with a gigabyte board and a 3770K with a gigabyte board. I'm currently stuck on high sierra because I'm using a gtx 970TI.

I'll be honest, the 3770k is a beast for its age, and the 970ti is quite capable. But I'm stuck working from home and I was thinking of doing a new build, using a 5700x video card, so I could enter modern OS. If I'm going to do that I figured I'd just start from scratch.

I'd like to future proof this a bit, so I was looking at cpu choices. The Ryzen 3700x looks nice, but is there really much performance difference between it and the 9600K which seems to be a bit cheaper. I love the threadripper architecture but that might be a bit more than I'd like to spend.

The computer will need to dual boot with windows, run standard microsoft and adobe apps, and games at 1440 at a minimum with some consideration of 4K?

Also, I've heard that adobe products have issues w/ the Ryzen chips, does that make my decision for me?

Finally, should I bite the bullet and go to opencore for this one? I hate the idea of a beta bootloader.

Also, we can only pick one flair? what if it crosses topics?

Thanks,

Mike

I can't boot in Windows 10 anymore, i am getting BSOD with "bad config info" error.
What is safest way to repair / reinstall Windows 10 without breaking my working MacOS with Clover.

btw i have both OSes on same SSD.

So I recenty installalled 10.13 High Sierra. I downloaded an ehernet.kext and nothing else because im not familiar with what else to get (im very new to this hackintosh process). Everything seemed to be working properly and the only noticeable thing missing was gpu compatibility. So I installed 10.13 nVidia webdrivers from the tonymac site but after installing it I found myself stuck in a bootloop that read:

“ConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockstate 3, hs 0...”

So after coming across this issue I found some threads, something about changing the RT variable but nothing really worked for me so I then continued to uninstall the web drivers and after uninstalling it and rebooting into the os I found that my keyboard and mouse are now not being detected for odd reason. At this point im just really confused on whats going on and would really appreciate some assistance
