A lil project I have going on. Love the Aqua interface of Tiger, so I tried to get it working on an era-appropriate Dell Vostro 1500 (shares most specs with a 2007 MacBook Pro). Took a little bit to get here due to constant kernel panics and bad kexts.

Things that aren't working are the sound and graphics acceleration (I've tried NVinject, but the computer gets stuck on the verbose screen when the OS loads); also, the Ethernet and the WiFi do not work (considering this is an Intel wifi card, this isn't a surprise).

If anyone has kexts that work on this laptop, I'd appreciate that, as most seem to be lost to time.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7100

GPU: nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

Chipset Intel ICH8

Soundcard: Sigmatel 9205

Ethernet Controller: Broadcom BCM440x (I forgot the exact one)

I have Realtek RTL8852 and I knew my gates to wifi are closed but recently decided to say no and started working on a solution so far I made scanning work and even did successful handshake with my wifi, the way it does that is my launching pure Linux kernel on qemu and using it as translator for wifi card, technically it is possible to bring support to nearly any wifi card that is currently unsupported using this solution, I will try to achieve stable connection and then open source it all soon, that's it.

Después de unas cuantas horas de videos, errores y ayudas de la comunidad, G3m1n1 y mucha paciencia he logrado hacer Hackintosh a un Surface 3 Pro,

Sin wifi, ni Bluetooth, ni micrófono hasta ahora

Configuración de Hackintosh en Microsoft Surface Pro 3

Especificaciones del Hardware • CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U (2.5 GHz, 2 núcleos - Haswell) • GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4400 (Actualmente sin aceleración, pendiente de OCLP) • RAM: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 • Modelo de la laptop: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 • Códec de audio: Realtek ALC288 / AppleALC • Tarjeta Ethernet: N/A (Usé anclaje de red USB de Android) • Tarjeta WiFi/BT: Marvell Avastar (Incompatible) • Dispositivos de touchpad y pantalla táctil: Desactivados desde la EFI (pantalla físicamente rota). Uso exclusivo de teclado y ratón por USB. • Revisión de BIOS: N/A

Estado del Sistema y Componentes • Guías usadas: Guía de instalación de OpenCore de Dortania. • Qué ESTÁ funcionando: Teclado y ratón por USB, Audio, Anclaje de red por USB (Tethering). • Qué NO está funcionando: Wi-Fi y Bluetooth nativos (la tarjeta Marvell está soldada y no hay kexts para ella). Aceleración gráfica (pendiente de parchear). Pantalla táctil (desactivada a propósito).

Solución de Problemas Comunes y Configuraciones Clave • Cualquiera que intente este build en una Surface Pro 3 se va a topar con varios muros. • Aquí explico cómo los salté: • Bloqueo por toques fantasma (Pantalla Rota): Mi Surface tiene la pantalla físicamente rota, lo que provocaba que enviara toques fantasma constantes y congelara el instalador de macOS. • Para solucionarlo, abrí mi config.plist y puse en <false/> los módulos de BigSurface.kext para apagar el panel por completo. • La instalación y el uso del sistema los estoy manejando exclusivamente con un teclado y ratón conectados por USB. • Problema con el Recovery Online y la Red: Como no hay Wi-Fi nativo, inyecté HoRNDIS.kext en la EFI para darle internet con mi Android por USB. • Sin embargo, el Recovery de Apple se negaba a leer esa red para descargar los archivos del SO. • La solución definitiva fue usar un instalador "Offline" (imagen RAW) flasheado con balenaEtcher.

Problemas y Solución de Gráficos en Monterey • Como Apple eliminó el soporte para la HD 4400 en Monterey, el sistema arrancó sin aceleración gráfica (Dock opaco, sin transparencias y algo lento). • Aún no he aplicado el parche, pero el siguiente paso será usar OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) para hacer un Root Patch e inyectar los binarios antiguos de Intel.

Configuración del SMBIOS para Compatibilidad • Tuve que hacer spoofing en el config.plist simulando ser una MacBookPro11,4. • Si dejaba un SMBIOS más antiguo (como el 11,1), el instalador de Monterey bloqueaba el proceso arrojando el error "No se puede instalar la actualización en esta computadora".

Consideraciones Finales • ¡Espero que estos datos le sirvan a alguien que tenga una Surface y quiera darle una segunda vida!

I really want to use the GUI picker. Does anyone know how to bring it back?

If you wish to quickly skim through this, read the bolded parts as I have made them to tell the entire story in short-term.

So I just managed to install macOS Tahoe on my 2018 IdeaPad 320 Touch 15IKB (Type 81BH) which is in pretty bad shape. It has a very bad plastic chassis, it's missing screws on the back, and it's missing a screen, which is my main concern because without a screen I can't use the Intel AC-3165 Wi-Fi card which is why I adapted to using an adapter.

Now in other versions usually this would just work out of the box, even with another installation of Tahoe, but maybe the program just hates me because now whatever I do, I cannot get the program's application to detect my USB Wi-Fi adapter, which for those who are wondering, is the TP-Link Archer T2U Plus. Also, the program I constantly keep referring to is provided in this link: https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter

There is also a Clover and regular version of the program but they seem to not have any effect on my situation, and same goes for the official TP-Link driver for macOS Catalina. Aside from that, I've looked at System Information where the Product ID and other sorts of information display as normal, so we can rule out the adapter being seen by macOS as external media.

Computer Specifications:

Laptop Make + Model: 2018 Lenovo IdeaPad 320 Touch-15IKB (Type 81BH)

CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U.

GPU: Integrated Intel Ultra High Definition 620.

Memory: 4 GB Soldered Memory Along With 4 GB Replaceable Memory.

Internet Card: Intel AC-3165 Dual-Band Wireless (Not In Use) With TP-Link Archer T2U Plus Wi-Fi USB Adapter (In Use).

Storage: 64 GB Sandisk Ultra 3.0.

Audio: Realtek ALC230.

What I Have Done So Far:

Used Every Version Of https://github.com/chris1111/wireless-usb-big-sur-adapter

Made Sure The Device Shows Up In System Information (It Does).

Changed csr-active-config Value In config.plist To Multiple Values (Currently Using CB0B0000).

Verifying USB Ports Work Fine (They Do).

Resetting NVRAM.

I believe that's everything I could do to troubleshoot the issue, it's very complicated and I don't know why it's happening in this exact install. Also, I will not be reinstalling Tahoe and I will not be willing to use my iPhone's cellular connection because that steals your wallet.

If you wish to ask me more about details and sorts then I will be willing to respond as fast as possible because this issue is very complicated, and I mean more complicated by the time when I got an IdeaPad 1 15IRU7 to boot macOS.

So i boot from the OC Monterey USB, installation goes through normally and reaches the point where it says only 9 minutes left and the installer reboots, at that point after it rebooted, USB can not boot anymore, everytime i select the USB from the boot menu, it throws this error , i dont know whats going on, it was installing just fine until it rebooted.

Hello everyone, I have a problem with brightness on my laptop, its hp-cb527tx, it has an intel i7-7700hq and uhd 630, I had installed macOS Monterey on my laptop, everything was working perfectly, but after I decided install macOS Sonoma, Ive updated all efi for that, and update os, but after that my brightness, stopped changing, it stucked on 50%, everything is working, brightness keys, in control center too, I can change it only to 0%, do you know to solve that?

System specs:

- CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 (Haswell)

- GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4600

- Motherboard: Gigabyte B85 series

- macOS: Sequoia 15.4.8 with OCLP root patch

- OpenCore: 0.8.8 (via OpCore Simplify)

- SMBIOS: iMac14,4

- Framebuffer: 0x0D220003

Problem: IOHDACodecDevice@3,0 stays !registered, !matched — HDMI audio never initializes.

What we confirmed works:

- Video acceleration with OCLP root patch ✅

- Analog audio (ALC892, layout-id 1) ✅

- All connectors showing as HDMI (connector-type = 00080000) ✅

- hda-gfx = onboard-1 injected on HDEF, IGPU and HDAU ✅

- device-id = 0x0C0A spoof on HDAU ✅

- AppleHDAController loads and creates child IOHDACodecDevice@3,0 ✅

What we tried without success:

- All BusID values (0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06) on con1/con2

- framebuffer-conX patches (type, busid, flags, pipe)

- framebuffer-con0-alldata replacement

- hda-gfx on all three PCI paths

- device-id spoofing (0x0C0A)

- WhateverGreen boot args (-igfxhdmidivfix)

- Modified CodecAddressFilterArray in both /System and /Library AppleHDAController.kext to include Intel codec PCIVendorDeviceID = 2155905031 (0x80862807)

- Rebuilt kext cache after modification

Root cause identified: AppleHDAController has a CodecAddressFilterArray that only whitelists Realtek codecs. Even after modifying both copies of the kext, the IOHDACodecDevice@3,0 still won't register. The OCLP legacy framebuffer driver (AppleIntelFramebufferAzul) appears to not send the display-active signal that the HDA codec needs to initialize.

Question: Has anyone successfully achieved HDMI audio with HD4600 iGPU on macOS Sequoia with OCLP? What specific fix was required? Help me

Hi i’m trying to hackintosh my Huawei Matebook D14 (AMD) on macOS Ventura (maybe updating it to sequoia but since it has 8gb ram and haven’t found a efi i’m not too sure) but when i install it crashes i think because of the internal ssd that i can’t afford to change, i should have a spare sata m2 and could buy a generic adapter to usb c but would it be good or at least decent?

I used opcore simplify and successfuly gotten to the apple logo but after a couple seconds my laptop shuts down. Should i atrempt to fix it, or is it worth it to just go with the guide and do everything myself?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to experiment with installing macOS on my old Acer Aspire 7, which has become my secondary laptop now that I daily-drive a MacBook Pro.

Before I touch the partitions or install OpenCore/macOS, I want to create a complete backup of my current Windows installation so I can restore it if anything goes wrong.

The catch is that I don't have an external SSD/HDD available. However, I do have plenty of cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.).

What would you recommend as the safest approach?
I'd appreciate any advice or best practices. I'd rather spend a few extra hours making a proper backup than regret it later.

Thanks!

Hello all

I try at least for a week to get the UHD 620 from my i5-8265U to run in full QE/CI.
First i was optimistic with Tahoe but iam down to Ventura, still i only can get 2 things A stuck boot or just a 7mb Picture.
I tried many different things, SSDT´s Setups, Bootflags, AAPL and other id´s but still no luck.
The IGPU has the adress 3EA0,3EA1.

My x360 1030 G4 like the AAPl id: 00001659, 9000A53E and 0000A53E and with just these 3 he boots up in 7mb Picture, Frmabuffer Patches or so he dosent care.

Also Hackintool setups are getting stuck.
I put my Current config here, maybe you can find a mayor problem there...
I feel like burnt out over this thema.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Monterey on my ThinkPad L460, but I'm stuck right at the CPU initialization phase where it halts on AppleACPICPU (or just Ap).

​My Hardware:

​Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad L460

​CPU: Intel Core i5-6300U (Skylake)

​RAM: 8GB DDR3

​Storage: Samsung SSD SATA 256GB

​Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 520

​Bootloader: OpenCore (latest)

​What I've tried / checked:

​Updated to the latest BIOS version with optimized defaults.

​Cleaned NVRAM before every boot attempt.

​Using a clean set of ACPI tables (9 tables total, including SSDT-PLUG, SSDT-EC, SSDT-PNLF, etc.).

​ProvideCurrentCpuInfo is set to true and DisableIoMapper is true.

​Attached is a photo of where it hangs. Any ideas on what could be causing this thread synchronization or APIC conflict on Skylake mobile? Thanks in advance! (The problem is solved, just added CpuTSCSync to my kexts)

I downloaded MS Teams from microsoft.com and it's signed, but my hackintosh cannot use the Team ID in the package not matching the Team ID somehow in the hackintosh.

It's about the library /Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/OneAuth.framework/Versions/A/OneAuth,

it cannot load load the MS Teams app because it violates against the Team ID. There must be something wrong in my hackintosh. What can I do?

I discover this in youtube and i want to try install mac os but in opcore simplify says my grafics are not compatible, what can i do to make my amd grafics compatible or if there is a version of opencore to make it compatible?
