| 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. MacOS Catalina Versão 10.15.7 - Hackintosh S400ca Asus 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 https://preview.redd.it/vtxt30j88e8d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04611940cda7e972cd5be7129bc5174587838fea 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 submitted by /u/algumJporai [link] [comments] |
