Keyboard and mouse not working during installation Big Sur on Comet Lake 10th. All needed kexts are inside and ON. Open Core.

what other solution is there?

Hi there, i I have been planning to turn my old school laptop into a hackintosh, however I have 1 big problem: I don't have a copy of Mac OS or any easy access to a mac to make a copy from. Are there any alternatives to sailing the 7 seas?

I have this laptop here: (FULL SPECS)

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06697949

​

I'm pretty new to this sort of stuff and I was wondering if this Laptop would be compatible with Hackintosh? If it is, what would possibly work and what wouldn't? Am I able to follow this guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

​

The most crucial things I'd want to know if it would work or not: Audio, Wifi, Touchpad/Keyboard, Ports (USB-C/audio jack), Webcam

​

And the "would be cool to haves": Touchscreen, Bluetooth/Airdrop

​

Thanks!

Hi! I have already installed Catalina on my Asus TP412FA (Core i3-8145U, 8 GB DDR4, Intel HD620, SSD Kingston NVMe 256 GB) and now I would like to fix the battery readings. I tried to use the Rehabman's guide but it's too complicated. Can someone please help me with it. Here is my DSDT (got it from Linux and it's unpatched): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwAuaxL1LmHA8j7YcMYNEPmpEvyJY4Fr/view?usp=sharing

Laptop: ASUS TUF Gaming FX505GD

CPU: Intel Core i5 8300H

RAM: 8GB DDR4

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 4GB (I know unsupported)

Internal GPU: Intel UHD 630

HDD Size: 1TB (Which i want to install but without losing data)

SSD Size: 128GB (Installed Windows 10)

Wi-Fi Adapter: Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9462

Can i create a working Hackintosh with working Wi-Fi and everything?

Hello,

I want to try to install hackintosh on my old pc. The machine it is composend by this parts:

Motherboard: Asus P5Q

Cpu: Intel core pentium dual core e5400

Ram: 8gb DDR2 800 Mhz

Is it possible? There are particular things to do? I've never tried to install hackintosh on a PC.

As the title mention above, how to enable sleep by lid close? Does it need to change some lines on DSDT or any SSDt to be added?

currently I'm running macOS Big Sur. Here's my specs:

Lenovo S340- 14IWL

i5-8265U

8GB RAM

Intel UHD 620

Opencore 0.6.3

macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 (20B29)

Hey, can someone help me with patching battery if I provide my DSDT? I read through rehabman’s guide and honestly, I don’t have the time or patience for it. Would greatly appreciate it!

First of all specs: -a 320m-k -ryzen 5 2600 -amd rx 580 8gb -16gb ram -fenvi 919t -Mac os and windows are installed on two separate SSD‘s.

Hey guys, I’m running a hackintosh and everything works fine. Recently I wanted to test wow and csgo on my machine. Both apps just crash instantly with the error „the app quit unexpectedly“. The crash log can’t identify the crash cause. Is this a common problem? I normally switch to windows to play games, but since I don’t game a lot I thought it would be cool to be able to run wow on my ryzentosh.

Has anyone had any luck running big Sur on the and Radeon pro duo? I found an affordable one on hand and I'm thinking about getting it for an upgrade cuz I'm running high Sierra on my 980 but since the OS won't be supported anymore I want to go AMD.

Hey guys I’m currently trying to make a hackintosh but I can’t fond the AMD Kernel patch text... whenever I click on the guthub link it just says error 404 page not found...

Hello, I'm running an HP-z620 hackintosh, Xeon 2643v1 3.3ghz 32 gb (8x4) ddr3-1866. C602 chipset.

My mobo/cpu combo should only get 1600 out if these dimms, and BIOS /Win10 shows 1600, but everything in macOs says 1866.

Also, I discovered this with a different memory stick. I have a 32g (1x) lrdimm rated 1600, which registers in Windows 10 and BIOS at 1333... And shows it as a 1600 mhz lrdimm in macOs. Same essential 'boost', or step up displayed.

I'm running high seirra, I haven't checked my catalina install, as I don't really use it.

My questions : Is this typical of macOs to get the RAM speed wrong in Hackintoshes? Is it actually running faster? Is there a Mac utility like z-gpu to look deeper? Geekbench doesn't show speed.

I plan on building an almost duplicate machine to this one so any info or peace of mind on the discrepancies I described would be appreciated.

I'm having no issues, mind you, just kinda driving me batty.

I am using open core to create a hackintosh using these specs:

ASRock B450M Steel Legend

AMD Ryzen 3 3600G

AMD RX 580 8gb

And when I enter the macOS installer, I can count to five then the system reboots. I will link a video of the issue and my EFI setup. If anyone can help me with this, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks!

Video of issue

EFI Folder

Hi, I made a thread about this a couple months ago but got like no answers,

I have a 7700k, igpu, and a msi z270 Gaming m5, I have tried over the course of 8-9 months to get open core working on Catalina, (Currently on Mojave 10.14.6 Clover working wonderfully)

New NVME SSD coming in soon, and I want to install OC on it instead of clover, but the issue is no matter what I always get a black screen after IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3.

After about half an hour or so of waiting, the computer sleeps, so I assume that it loads everything as people have said this is a GPU issue.

Interestingly, I tried using the latest version of WhateverGreen on my clover setup, and encountered the same problem, only fixing it by reverting to an older version, (of course the older version doesnt work on catalina) so no idea whats going on.

Also, if you have a 7700k on igpu, could u share your OC EFI folder, no one with one has shared it yet and id like to see how other people are dealing with this problem.

EDIT: Just like this guys problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_UD5QxG1cs But with different hardware

I Am Still Using My hackinTosh is it worth keeping it to using Mac or installing windows it’s running Mac OS Big Sur?

Hi all,

First time creating a hackintosh, was getting crappy battery life on big sur so I tried to use cpufriend by addin the values to the config and adding the kexts to efi/oc/kexts. But now I can’t boot in macOS (it just shows the apple logo) or windows (just boot loops) so I was hoping I could edit the config to delete the added values about cpufriend?

Any help would be great

Thanks!

As you've all heard, M1 is killing it. In the past the reason for putting together a hackintosh was because of price and performance. I myself have been building hackintoshes for the past 10 years for this very reason. My current setup is an 8700k with 32GB of RAM etc. etc. But as I was lugging around this gigantic heavy rig I just realized that the new Mac mini is significantly cheaper, and, if the reviews are to be believed, would blow my not so cheap setup put of the water, with much less weight to boot.

I think the most likely scenario would be for me to replace my dinosaur with a mac mini (m2?) once all the software I need for it (resolve, Lightroom) has been ported over. I don't think Intel or AMD would be able to catch up to ARM's architecture anymore. Thoughts?

All it thinks I'm Pressing is the letter g i tried going back to windows to add a keyboard kext and tat didn't work I have the correct usb drivers so I'm really confused.

Hi all :) I've just installed 10.15.7, and when I try to downliad big sur from app store, it gives me this error:

Update not found The required version of macOS is not available.

How can I fix this or make a walkaround? My taraget ia to make a bootable USB, and make a clean installation.

Thanks :)

I am quite new to this, but got my Thinkpad T470 working almost perfectly with Big Sur yesterday.
WiFi works (with itlwm), but is slow and lack some features.

I found this card on Amazon: CY Wireless WIFI Mini PCI-E Card for Macbook Broadcom: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Does this work as a perfect replacement for the MacBook WiFi/Bluetooth card? I.E. Has a normal speed and I can sue the continuity features like Sidecar?

i have a T440p that i hackintoshed a while ago with catalina and got everything working flawlessly. after using it for quite some time it got cluttered with useless stuff so i decided to do an os reinstall and upgrade it to big sur. so i wiped the drive and installed big sur. after that i fixed missing serial numbers (like i did with catalina) and proceeded to install the apps i wanted. in the end opened imessage to sign in. i put the credentials and clicked log in. the login succeded but it loged me out of it after 3 seconds and it keeps doing that every time i try to log in. the same happns also to facetime. im running my hackinosh on opencore 0.6.3 and catalina was running on clover (dont remember the version). i decided to give opencore a try since i had random reboots with clover on catalina and so far it has been a better experience (idk if opencore is responsible for imessage and facetime issue tho)

I have successfully created the usb and it works absolutely fine. I get the apple logo then the macUtilities. Then I select install and it starts... But after few minutes the display turns off but the system is on.... Fans spin ,keyboard lights up

I am installing High Sierra on core 2 duo e7200 GPU inno3d gt 710 2 gb ddr3 Ram 4gb

Please help.

A bit confused when going through OpenCore guide. Do I follow the Coffelake instructions for this Kabylake refresh CPU? Anyone with a similar CPU please?

​

Thanks.

I am a developer and looking for a new challenge, I really want to make a Kext for Mac os, and I know C and C++. I just don't know where to start.

On Catalina and previous versions, I used a method to enable custom HiDPI scaling modes on my Mac, similar to what the Macbook range can do with their Retina Displays™.

So one of the easiest ways to do it, is to generate your custom files using Hackintool app. https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool/releases

Open the app, navigate to the "Displays" pane. Select an appropriate display and resolution. I have a Dell 2k screen so I chose 2k resolution. Now hit the + button followed by the export button. see screenshot

Now reboot and using a free app called RDM or something similar you can easily switch resolution. Eg I can now switch to 1920x1080 HiDPI mode or others like 1600x900 etc (⚡Is hidpi)

Screenshot

This will export a file and a plist which you should put in /Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides

In previous versions it went into /System/Library/ ... but now in Big Sur the /System folder is locked, so we put it in /Library.

I think you need SIP disabled, not sure.

Source is a google translate of a Chinese discussion of this app, they have a modified version which does a one click of the above.

Hi,

I've setup OSX Catalina Successfully. All is booting perfectly, but of course hardware is not detected correctly.

THe mother board I use is a Chinese motherboard HUANANZHI H61 I've got: Graphics: Intel HD 2500 Network: RTL8105E Sound: Intel Series 6 Series HD Audio Controller [8006] [1C20]

I don't find information on this for catalina, and yes I'm a bit noob on this 

Thank you

Hello Reddit, I had freshly downloaded the windows 10 from official website, it is indeed x64 yet bootcamp is showing this error. I also have a different modified windows 10 iso from ghost spectre, 64 bit, still showing same error. I believe it's because of the MacOs I'm using but I'm new, literally installed it yesterday so I really appreciate it if someone could help. Thanks

(*) I haven't used normal method because my internet is not ideal to download 8Gb at home.

Please help this poor soul....

It's been a few days and I've seen no issues.. This is more a historical post for anyone trying to take one of these old Dells and use it as a Hackintosh. Figure they'll find it in a search.

I tried doing this during the Big Sur beta release but was met with failure but at the time we didn't have a solid install process down. This time I had trouble with downloading a functional macOS install and had to rebuild the installer again. Otherwise the process seemed very similar to building a config for 10.15.

It works very well with dGPU. I was not able to get the onboard video adapter to work (Intel HD Graphics 2000.) I've ran macOS 10.15 prior with no issues. This was a fresh install on a new SSD.

Dell Optiplex 790 (tried on BIOS versions 11 and 20.)

OpenCore 0.6.3 (following this guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/sandy-bridge.html) It might look complicated but if you go LINE BY LINE you'll find success!

*** Important Note: The Dell BIOS does not read the EFI partition generated by macOS's disk utility. It *WILL* crash BIOS and you will not be able to add it to your EFI boot list.I recommend using Windows diskpart to reformat the partition to fat32 and then drop your EFI on it. You'll need to do this twice: Once on the install medium, second on the storage you installed macOS.

^{Example on Windows: diskpart, list disk, sel disk #, sel par 1, format fs=fat32 quick - I don't recommend using macOS's diskutil to format; it caused SSD corruption when I modified the EFI partition. You however CAN use it later to mount the EFI to copy/modify your config (sudo diskutil list, sudo diskutil mount /dev/disk#s# \}probably disk0s1]))

Recommend you update to BIOS version 20 if you're using USB to install; lesser versions seem to fail with USB boot of OpenCore 0.6.3. If you don't want to update, use an SSD as your installer attached to SATA.

Sandybridge Intel Core i5 @ 3.1GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB (supported, glad I found a use for it!)
SMBIOS iMac 15,1
Audio: layout-id 0F000000

SSDT-EC, SSDT-HPET required
HfsPlusLegacy.efi required
IntelMausi.kext required for onboard networking; if you don't add this you'll have issues with iCloud.
Do NOT select TRUE for CustomSMBIOSGuid (guide says to do this if Dell, don't.)

I'm also using Chris1111's Wireless USB Adapter drivers for my RT wifi dongle with no issues.

Good luck. If you have any issues you can reach out.

so yesterday I installed Mojave in my dell Inspiron 15 3000 , and I really suffer to make it work I just have on final headphone audio problem internal speaker works ( a half low tho )

I found this https://elitemacx86.com/threads/fix-audio-distortion-when-using-headphones-on-laptops.185/ but I don't wan't risk damage the os and have to install it again

any idea what should I do !?

Mac OS: Big Sur x8dai Motherboard: x8ada3 (pretty sure legacy/bios only) CPUs: 2 Xeon x5680 Graphics: nvidia quadro k5200 Boot loader: clover (can be changed) Other os: Manjaro Linux and windows

I have set up the Mac boot usb from a Catalina Mac OS using the normal Mac create boot drive method.

I also set up a clover boot partition on my main manjaro ssd. I am able to boot into it and see my window install (4 of them but only 1 works is this normal). I can also see the Mac OS usb. I do not see my manjaro boot. I set clover up from here I set this up on a efi system partition via disk and added boot flag. I don’t know how I am booting this if my mobo is only really legacy.

When I try to boot from the Mac OS usb I get the circle with a cross 🚫 and a url for Mac support. The Mac support says that sign means the “laptop” is not compatible.

Ps: when I press quit on clover trying to get to manjaro it takes me to a weird motherboard screen I have never seen before with continue, boot manager, device manager, and boot maintenance manager. Any attempt to use this throws tons of errors and red text.

I would love to get Mac up and running but don’t need Big Sur. I only did Big Sur as it was easier to do from current Mac OS I have access to. I can change from clover to other options. I am familiar with Linux and windows but not as much with Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,

I am in the process of building my second hackintosh and it's my first time with OpenCore.

As i am waiting for the stock of GPU to be back on it's feet I want to make it run using the iGPU of the 9700k.

The installation went ok but I am stuck at this error message :"[IGPU] Graphics driver failed to load: could not register with Framebuffer driver!"

Then it boot on MacOs with really poor performance, obviously no gpu driver.

I have tried the iGPU patching from this guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/gpu-patching/intel-patching/#getting-started with moderate success (it helped to boot but not to run smoothly).

Thank you !

Hi guys, I'm thinking of installing Hackintosh on my HDD, I want to use it on SSD but I have one for Windows, and 1TB HDD for personal files and now I am thinking of installing Catalina on 1TB HDD. The main point is, Is Hackintosh, especially Catalina fast enough on HDD, or I have to buy a new SSD and install it on that? Thank you and have a good day.

Hey all,

I've successfully booted into macOS a couple of times, but every time I reboot or restart or load into macOS for any reason, I get an error where it says OCS: Missing key Arch, context <Patch> ! 25 times, followed by OC: Watchdog status is 0. See here: https://i.imgur.com/hKpunYM.jpg

This hangs there for maybe five minutes before going to a black screen for another 5 minutes, and then going into the boot process. The only reason I'd say this is an issue is that it takes forever to restart or reboot because of this. Does anybody know what this means or how to fix it? I cannot find anything online remotely related.

All the kexts work, the config.plist works, etc. When I actually get into macOS, everything works except for AirDrop. I feel because of this it's not a kext or OpenCore issue but a boot arg or some sort of BIOS issue, but I am completely talking out of my ass.

If anyone has absolutely any ideas that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey guys, so I've been testing my hackintosh for a few days now and i feel like the battery drains way too fast compared to windows... Is it normal or did i do something wrong?
