High Sierra is out. Now it’s time to install it on anything but a Mac. The first rig I got to run High Sierra is this cute and with an ASUS motherboard. High Sierra adds some pretty useful features like a log out button. The only downside I’ve noticed so far is that the screen waking can be a little slower then on Sierra. If you never built a hackintosh check out our list of or the for hackintosh friendly parts.
This High Sierra guide is compatible with the latest hardware from Coffee Lake all the way back to Ivy Bridge CPU’s. Right now this is just a Desktop guide I’ll be experimenting on laptops in the future and update this guide or create another when that happens. For those that already have a Hackintosh running Sierra and want to upgrade to High Sierra they’d be better served following:. If you would like to run Sierra 12.6 instead of High Sierra for reliability, compatibility or whatever reason see. High Sierra Hackintosh Install Full Guide This is a full install guide that will walk you through clean installing High Sierra on a custom PC. It’ been made easy into a copy paste guide. This means that the initial configuring that’s required to get macOS up and running have already been preconfigured.
There may be some post-install changes that need to made after macOS is installed. Step 1 – Creating the macOS Installer To begin the setup of a Hackintosh a macOS installer containing High Sierra must be created on a USB flash drive.
(In case you want to upgrade your Mac to macOS 10.13 High Sierra, check out this guide.) First and foremost, Siri’s coming to Mac. There’s Watch unlocking for Mac, there’s one-click Apple Pay, tabs in apps, and cross-device copypasting. Who can upgrade Mac OS to Sierra: macOS 10.12 compatibility list. As with the previous versions. If you still need OS X El Capitan, use this App Store link: Get El Capitan. To download it, your Mac must be using macOS High Sierra or earlier. To download it, your Mac must be using macOS High Sierra or earlier.
Learn how to do that by following. Step 2 – Transfer Prebuilt EFI Bootloader Now that the High Sierra image is on a GUID formatted flash drive the EFI partition of that drive needs to have a modified folder called EFI added to it. The EFI folder contains the hackintosh files necessary to boot macOS on third party hardware using Clover Bootloader.
The EFI folder is added to something called the EFI Partition. To access the EFI Partition we must mount it first:.
Download. Open Clover Configurator. Select Mount EFI under TOOLS.
Click Mount Partition for Install macOS. Click Open Partition (This is your EFI Folder) Now we are going add the hackintosh EFI folder to the partition you mounted:. Delete the folder called EFI in the partition you mounted. Download. Unzip Hackintosher-High-Sierra-10.13-EFI.zip. Copy the unzipped EFI folder. Paste the copied EFI into your mounted EFI partition or /Volumes/EFI Step 3: Configuring config.plist These mini steps need to only be followed if each condition applies.
It’s recommended that you do the initial install using integrated graphics for a problem free install, however I’ve been able to install High Sierra using my RX 560. The changes will be made to the EFI folder you just pasted onto your flash drive in Step 2.
Step 3.1: Sky Lake, Haswell, Ivy Bridge users Only The default config.plist is configured for a Coffee Lake or Kaby Lake CPU. If you are using an older Skylake, Haswell or Ivy Bridge CPU then you will may need to make changes to the SMBIOS section located in config.plist in order to boot macOS by mimicking the properties of an older Mac. Skip this step only if using a Coffee Lake or Kaby Lake CPU. Step 4 – Recommended BIOS Settings Restart your computer and press the DEL key or required key to enter BIOS when computer posts splash screen. Wit the EFI boot partition setup we now need to change some BIOS settings that are macOS and hackintosh friendly ? Recommendation: Check out the and find a motherboard by the same manufacturer as you have. Then scroll down to it’s BIOS settings to find the exact location of each setting that needs to be changed if your having trouble.
This is where you would set the Boot Option in BIOS if you followed Option 2 Press F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS Step 5 – Installing macOS The next step is to install macOS and then after copy the EFI folder from your flash drive’s boot partition over to the boot partition of the drive macOS is installed on. If you need to walked through the install follow: Note: Most people like to install new versions of macOS using integrated graphics. Since I included the files for AMD cards you may be able to install macOS like I did with the card plugged in. Some people may have trouble installing High Sierra with a Nvidia card plugged in. If you have one you may want to use integrated graphics and go back to the BIOS settings and configure for an iGPU. Hackintosh Post-Install Now that you have macOS up and running you should also be able to access the internet since the included Ethernet kexts are already in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other However you may want to delete the ones you don’t need as I included them all.
Step 6 – Improving Sleep If you don’t want your hackintosh turning on in the middle of the night you need to disable two settings. Open the Settings App. Click Energy Saver.
Uncheck. Uncheck Wake for Ethernet Network access. Uncheck Enable Power Nap.
Step 7 – Graphics Card If using a graphics card then you will need to install the fixes to get hardware detection and acceleration. For AMD I’ve already included the files necessary to get most AMD graphic cards like the RX 560, 570 and 580 working, but there are some extra steps like NVRAM detection and maybe ig-platform-id if using a KabyLake/CoffeeLake CPU that need to be set: To get Nvidia graphic cards working in High Sierra you need to enable SIP temporarily to prevent being locked out after the Web Drivers install see: → ← Step 8: Hackintosh Sound I setup the EFI folder for ALC1220 as that’s the most common audio codec used for Kabylake motherboards.
If you are using a different audio chipset codec such as ALC892, S1220A, ALC887, ALC1150 then all you need to do is change a single number to get audio working. Click the link below to go to the audio guide: →← Step 9: HDMI Audio This is an optional step if you want toHDMI audio can be tricky to get working and is much more difficult with a Pascal Nvidia GPU: Dedicated: IGPU: Hackintosh Hey, if this helped getting your hackintosh running please consider using our when shopping or a kind to help fund the site. Success z270x gaming 5 i7700k GTX 1080 Ti APFS file system I have tried to upgrade it from Sierra initially but I messed something up along the way and had to perform a clean install from USB. There was a few problems I encountered during the installation.
Like some of you I was getting stuck, the progress bar was stopping, coming up with a ban sign or restarting. What turned up to be the culprit was the usb stick. Firstly I tried a new USB 3 stick and I followed this guide but I had the errors. Then I used a older 16gb stick and it went fine. Also do not forget to copy APFS.efi to your new EFI folder otherwise it wont work. Most of the problems are associated with that folder being corrupt or faulty and hence it is not going through. I have had High Sierra for two days and it feels quite stable.
Sound nvidia drivers, sleep/wake, bluethooth and wifi works fine. What doesnt work: handoff this is to do with the compatible wifi/ bluethooth card I can live without that but the function that I really miss is mirroring. The icon in the right corner sometimes comes out or flickers but overall the mirroring is not working.
However, it does work via itunes. Could anyone shed some light on this pls? Hello, I am new to hackintosh. If I build my PC with the same exact parts as mentioned above in your “tiny silver build”, except I will use Samsung Evo SSD, will I have the following working out of the box: 1.
Facetime (which camera do I need for that)? Bluetooth to connect with Apple TV, Magic Keyboard and Mouse? Do you think I should wait for Coffee Lake CPU to be released before installing High Sierra from scratch or is 7700K good enough? My needs are running basic tasks on Mac but installing Parallels to run windows simultaneously. I am a trader so need Mac and Windows together.
I don’t need wifi, as I will use the ethernet adapter on the motherboard instead. Are there any issue that are pending in terms of hardware working? Yes I was installing with iGPU. My system is MSI Z370M + 8700k CPU installing onto NVME 960 EVO. After some messing around, I was able to get it to install and boot by: 1) Using Latest version of clover bootloader (4225 off the top of my head) 2) SMBIOS 18,3 (and all other appropriate other settings as per this machine level) 3) SMBIOS CHANGES – this was the big thing stopping me from getting a booting installer / system.
Leave the following items BLANK in your clover config. – Bios Version – Bios Release Date – Board ID – Features Mask – FIrmware Features – Platform Features – Version – Graphics (ig-platform-id) Reason: The correct version of clover will correctly inject Fake CPUID: 0x0906E9 (Kaby Lake) Once I did this, the installer booted and install went through fine. I can also confirm No NVME drivers/patches (Pike Patches) are required for 10.13 installation / booting – seems to be a lot of confusion about this online.
I did not require patches at all – where my 10.12.4 installation did. This all booted installed and booted fine. HOWEVER I could not get iGPU to work properly. It was 1280×1024, 5mb ram. I was looking at some guides by RehabMan to get the correct drivers to inject – but it just wouldn’t go. So this config may still be incorrect – but it at least got a booting system.
I then installed Nvidia as per the hackaintosher “proper” nvidia guide, and plugged in the external GPU, booted and all is well. But if you ONLY have iGPU, this SMBios might not be completely the right way to do it. I cannot seem to get this to work on the ASROCK Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming board (I read your other post on that) with the 7700 CPU. Am I doing something completely stupid? It goes through the Apple logo loading process, gets to the end and just reboots back to the clover installer. I’ve tried all the BIOS settings you recommended (especially those in the original Sierra post) and I’ve tried the different BIOS versions as well – most recently with the 1.20.
The reboot happens so fast, I’m not able to determine what it is unhappy with. Thanks in advance! I finally got my first hackintosh working with a mix of this guide and the GA-Z270M one. Your guides really helped a lot. I’m Very thankful for your amazing and detailed work here.
But i think that my MSI RX 580 Armor 4GB (or other component) is not using all of it’s power. Just for testing, I’ve tried running some games that I saw running well on official macs with theoretically much less power than mine and it was very disappointing. I’ve just installed High Sierra with your EFI Folder and nothing more. There’s anything else necessary? My setup: Gigabyte GA-Z270m Intel Core i7 7700k 16GB Corsair Vengeance 2400Mhz (2x8GB) MSI Armor RX580 4gb oc 240gb Sata SSD from PNY Thanx again! And sorry about my bad english.
HEY Hackintosher, I’m Abhilash, And I have an ASUS motherboard and Radeon HD 5750. My processor is intel i5 7400 and When I installed MAC OS sierra 10.12.6, I had the colour flickering, I enabled graphics acceleration by injecting fake ID and framebuffer of HD 5770.
So I switched to 10.12.3 and now everything works fine except the boot resolution, The boot menu and the boot loading screen are both out of resolution. I tried all alterations but I was unsuccessful. I’m using Clover UEFI bootloader.
My Email: Please let me know of any solutions. Hey so this was a complete success thank you so much for the help!
Iv been at this for days and it finally worked. My set up is Intel i7 8700 Asus z370A mother board GTX 980 Al though I did need to unplug my GPU as it was the problem in not letting me install the software at first. I still haven’t installed it back in as I am planning on download the web drivers first. I am currently not able to connect my ethernet. Could you possibly help me with that? I don’t know why, It worked with my previous Sierra hackintosh.
I have a Pentium G4560 CPU and could either get a GTX 950 or an RX 460 for my GPU. I would much more preferre the RX card but I am afraid that I cannot install High Sierra 10.13.1, since in this guide it is mentioned that an NVIDIA card is mandatory. Currently I don’t have any GPU and could only afford to buy one. But in the later section of this guide you mention that it would be possible to disable iGPU in BIOS for the installation process.
Would that mean that I could use my G4560 + RX 460 combo without the need of any NVIDIA card? Your build worked perfectly have mac high sierra os running on ASUS Z170 Pro gaming i5-6600K AMD R9 Fury triple dis. Am using built in Intel graphics because mac drivers for AMD R9 Fury are not ready for prime time. Card seems to be, based on led’s on card running at full capacity? When using AMD card video is slow refresh and artifacts also occur. Have changed bios so CPU graphics only are used high sierra runs perfectly fast no artifacts.
Concerned because led’s on AMD Fury card shows all on which means its drawing power from all power pins. Using win10 these led’s are on and off depending on needs never all on. Any fix for this great video card or am I doing damage to it using hacked mac os?? Hey guys I am stuck at the initial stages of clover bootloader: When first powering up a GAgabyte GA-Z270X Ultra Gaming mainboard, the USB clover bootloader stalls halfway through the first boot screen (apple logo turns to a circle with a diagonal line running through it).
I tried both with an nvidia 1060 card as well as with integrated grphics. The installer sees the M2 drive (Samsung 960 EVO), but never gets to the stage where I would be using drive manager to format it. Setting up the USB install media I downloaded the latest High Sierra and used the latest version of clover configurator to mount the EFI, then copied the pre-packaged EFI folder into that partition, but no luck so far. What am I doing wrong? I’ve been attempting a High Sierra install using an Asrock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac board. I’ve had no problem configuring and saving the p-list and setting the proper bios settings from the builds section.
However when I install using integrated graphics (or my GTX 1080) I never make it to Step 5, the Apple logo turns into a ‘null’ circle ( a black screen featuring a zero with a line through it). Do you have any suggestions/changes I can make to get to step 5? Thanks so much — this is a fantastic site! I just finished my new build with the same Asrock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard an 8700k and corsair mp500 m.2 NVME.
Before in El capitan 10.11.6 have same problem Freeze on apple logo no loading sometime freeze loading bar. Need to press reset to get boot. Sometime shutdown PC then again start freeze on boot. After that update to High Sierra 10.13.1 same issues continue.

I thought that installing Hackintosh is more complicated process. But with your guide and Clover configuration it was almost simple as installing Windows! ? Got some problems with Nvidia and multi-display environment but fixed it really quickly and now I have Mac OS running on my i7 7700k, 64 GB of RAM, M.2 SSD and GeForce 1080Ti. ? I couldn’t be happier. Games performance sucks on Mac. ? Tested Hitman – on Windows, all ultra – 60 fps. Mac – barely 10 FPS.
But I can live with that. Will install Windows for games. Hackintosher ROCKS, BTW – and Merry Christmas to him and all ? I of course expect no replies to this anytime soon, but I will soon be Hackintoshing the following: – ASUS Prime H270 Plus – I5-7400 – Samsung 850 EVO – internal sound and graphics – either 13.1 or 13.2 High Sierra (I have both downloaded and ready to go.) Four questions: 1) Can I use HFSPlus instead of VboxHfs, and if so, should I just delete the Vbox driver in my EFI folder, or what? 2) Is it still recommended to avoid APFS, as I saw Hackintosher mention at one point somewhere, or have people been having no issues with that these days?
3) I read where my ALC887 audio should begin injecting Audio ID 7, so I’m just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this board and if they had to use some number other than 7 or if they had any difficulties with onboard audio with this motherboard. 4) I also read where Hackintosher said that USB 3 wasn’t (at least early on) working with 13.2. I definitely want USB 3, so should I install 13.1 instead? I know that seems like a lot, but I PROMISE that once I get it all going, I’m going to do it all over from scratch and do a very nice and clear step-by-step “SUCCESS” video and make it available to this awesome, awesome sight.
Once again, thanks in advance to Hackintosher and all, and super mega rockin happy freakin holidays!! Hi Hackintosher, I followed your instruction for a fresh install on my Pentium G630 and GPU MSI Geforce 9500 GS Hackintosh but experienced a lot of problems.
You mention the need of a Nvidia card, do you mean a Radeon will not work? Anyway although I saw a lot of errors during installing, it finished the install and now I am able to boot IF I check “nvdisable=1” If I do not check “nvdisable=1” it will either reboot or show a flickering screen after logon. Do I now have to follow the steps here?.
Hi — I have an Asus Gene VIII, I5-7600K, 32GB Corsair RAM, and Nvidia GEForce GTX 1050, running 10.12.6. I had tried the Hackintosher update guide and tried several times to do the update. I gave that up and tried this fresh install guide.
It worked great — I know because I redid it a couple of times trying to fix a macOS problem with user accounts that a lot of native/vanilla Apple owners have had. Basically, any user account I set up was recorded as Standard. I added another Admin account but it was hidden. I tried fixes others have used but couldn’t succeed.
Because I didn’t have a working admin account, I couldn’t setup a root password. MacOS wouldn’t accept the password for my user account, so I couldn’t install the Nvidia web drivers. So, unless someone knows a Hackintosh way to fix this macOS problem, I’m going to write off 10.3.3 as not worth the trouble for now. 10.12.6 works great for me.

I’ve working with my Hackintosh for about 3 months now. I did the initial creation with 10.12.6 since that was the most stable. MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z170X Gaming 7 PROCESSOR: Skylake i7 (6700k) GPU: GTX GeForce 1070 DRIVE: SAMSUNG 850 SSD (500GB) CASE: Corsair 330R WIFI: TP Link Wi-Fi Bluetooth Some of my USB ports weren’t operational so I wanted to try to upgrade. I grabbed another SSD ($40 for a 240GB) and did a fresh install of 10.13.3. I followed this guide.
It worked well except that it took me a while to figure out that my install USB drive would only work with a 2.0 thumb drive. (I didn’t see that info in the guide).
![Wallpaper Wallpaper](/uploads/1/2/5/4/125412644/829714020.jpg)
One of the few wrinkles I’ve found is that my bluetooth speaker needs to be re-installed everyday. Also, I’ve strangely had no problem with the nVidia drivers (.156). Going to run it for a few week or so and see how stable it is. Indications are good. Thanks to everyone who’s help create and perfect this guide!! Asus Gene VIII, i5-7600K, GTX 1050 video card.
I did a fresh install following this guide onto an external USB 3 hard drive, and had no problems. There was a sort of rolling, grey screen until the login appeared and I finished logging in.
I then ran the High Sierra Supplementary update, installed the Nvidia web driver downloaded by the Nvidia driver manager (387.10.10.10.25.158), and had none of the lags many people have reported on Tonymac. The rolling grey screen at boot disappeared as well. It’s been rock solid. I installed the Clover Bootloader r4411 that brings NVRAM back for the Gene. Very happy, and such a change from my initial 10.13.3 experience.Chuck.
Hello, thanks for your help and answers, i finally got it, i had to remove one of my two sticks of ram (corsair vengeance rgb 2x8gb) once i removed the stick on b2 slot the installer was flawless. But now i cant boot macos using my two sticks of ram, it only boot using one (the one at a2 slot) when i try to boot using both sticks (16gb) its show this: OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for System Library CoreServices boot.efi using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no how can i solve that problem? I have used this guide and have had great results using intel HD 530. When I disabled HD 530 and enabled XFX AMD R9 Fury PCIe everything worked but the card lost its acceleration. All activity leds on card were lit.
So I updated to the Beta mac OS by registering with apple and downloading the utility that gave me access to the Beta. After the Beta install the AMD R9 worked perfectly full acceleration leds for activity were going on and off PC was very responsive Cinebench 115fps almost as fast as Windows 10 134 fps. The major problem is using Safari or Firefox the browser locks up after some browsing and I have to use power button to restart PC. Internet videos locks up PC instantly. Any fix for this? The new Beta AMD drivers are a great improvement but not being able to use the internet is a fatal flaw for me.
Any help would be appreciated. My pc is an Intel Core i7-3770K cpu, AsRock z77 Professional-M motherboard and my graphic card is Gigabyte HD7950 3GB DDR5. I purchase that pc on 2015.
Ok, I had success installing High Sierra with the graphic card unplugged. When I plug the dedicated GPU a get a black screen with this message: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0. I have the latest Clover, and all the latest kexts on my system. I downloaded EmuVariableUefi-64.efi for NVRAM detection. I downloaded the latest release version of Lili.kext and WhateverGreen.kext and place them in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other. In config.plist in System Parameters Inject kexts is set on Yes, In Boot in custom flags i added the line shikigva=4 and -rad4200.
But when I plug the graphic card doesn’t work. I don’t know how to continue, I am stucked. Any help will be appreciated. I followed all instructions in the tutorial. My First Try ends with an slashed circle boot screen (after enabling verbose I get a error: Freeing low memory (up to 0x20000000) Result = 14 OsxAptioFixDrv: Starting Overrides for /.IAbootFiles/boot.efi Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no ” The OsxAptio Error displays twice” does printf work? After massive googling I decide to format my USB Boot Stick and make a new. But unfortunately now I can’t even choose “Install Mac OS” in the Clover Boot-Screen.
My Hardware is: i5 – 7500 (Kaby Lake) MSI B250M PRO-VDH Integrated GPU I tried different Options for config.plist. I’m glad for every help! Best article/guide on H.Sierra – followed it perfectly and worked the first time. That is a rare thing in the world of Hackintosh, especially with the latest builds of OSX.
Outshined tonymacx86 on this one. Concise and thorough with a one-stop place for the instructions and above all, the configuration files that actually work without reading a ream of posts of other trials and errors. This is my new Hackintosh bookmark. BTW – just added your HWmonitor, and your working files – again worked the first time. Although the “bate & switch” link to the HWmonitor files should be changed with a true SourceForge link. Brilliant guide, way better than anything on TonyMx86 site – I have a relatively old system GB Mobo (oops gone into TonyMx86 speak) I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H Motherboard and I5 4690k CPU – installing High Sierra 10.13.2 – following this guide I managed to get everything working almost first time, had to do some extra work around getting sound working for ALC1150 – and will now re-do this with the latest 10.13.4 package. I will update the details on the sound later but in essence I made a couple of changes inject No = 2 and I can’t rightly remember which kexts I copied over!
It was late and I forgot which combination but I believe I ended up with Download AppleALC.kext – v1.1.0 Download Lilu.kext – v1.0.0 from the Audio guide So i am uncertain if it was inject 2 or the change of kexts, Thanks so much for all the time and effort you must have put in and the time that i have saved by not having to trawl through pages of tmx86 S/L/E half hearted attemps by people trying to be clever. 1st of all THANK YOU for such a clear and easy to follow guide. I am only sorry that I followed some other not so clear guides elsewhere until I came across your site. I have successfully completed my very first HackMac ? My rig: i7 7700K CPU Asus Maximus Formula IX mobo Asus ROG Strix Nvidia 1070 OC 16 GB DDR4 Ram @3000MHz – with a few minor glitches. I can’t shut down my computer. Every time I do it shuts down and then restarts itself in about 2s Sleep works fineother things like WiFi I didn’t expect would work so don’t care that they don’t I have not been able to isolate why my Computer won’t shut down. Granted I am housing Win 10 in same rig on a separate HD but I don’t believe that would be the issue.
I followed this guide as well as guide to update to 10.13.4 and installation of Nvidia graphics and used used the latest clover file for 10.13.4, I have triple checked my config and BIOS settings to ensure everything matches but, being a novice I think its time I ask the more experienced crowd. Could anyone please give me some advice how I can fix the Shut Down issue?
So I just finished my build using this guide (10.13.4) plus referencing your GA-Z270MX tutorial.as I have almost the same config (Nvidia 1070 for GPU). Everything works well.ethernet, audio, sleep etc.except when I use the rear USB-C and USB3.1 port. Anytime I plug something in there, I cannot shutdown. It just reboots.
Also, when doing Sleep with those ports, it will go to sleep except when I wake it up, I get the ‘Disk Not Eject Properly’ error. Again, this only happens with those two ports (Type-C/3.1). I’ve tried the various workarounds (FixShutdown, ErP etc) but no luck.
Are there separate kexts for these newer USB inputs? I could just skip using these ports but I have Type-C/3.1 devices. I found this post by rehabman and could be a solution but not exactly sure how to do it: Thanks again for doing these guides! Made my build easy to setup. Apparently USB (both 2.0 and 3.0) being unstable is a known problem for these later versions of OS X. Were you aware of this?
The thread i linked to was way over my head so I was hoping you’d have a simpler solution. I myself am now facing serious issues with the USB just cutting off randomly at different times, mostly after sleep or upon a restart. I have to turn off the computer, manually unplug and replug the usb, and then start the computer to have my keyboard working again (just a restart without unplug/replug won’t do).
Any tips or pointers? Is this actually a known problem? Hi I use Gigabyte GA-Z270X Gaming K7, i7 7700k, GTX 1050 Gaming X 2G from MSI, 32gb Ram and a traditional HDD to install High Sierra.
I tried with Unibeast, Multibeast way and: 1. My Graphics card was not recognised even after installing web drivers 2. My ethernet ports not working 3. Front USB 3.0 port not working 4. Back Usb 3.1 gen 2 port external HDD keep disappearing sometimes 5. Unable to find a way to install nether wna1100 wifi adaptor as it is windows only ? Now read this guide and thought of trying fresh as per your instructions.
But I don’t see any kexts in relation to make Graphics card, usb 3.1 and ethernet work. Am I missing something?
Appreciate your help. Now Nvidia works fine. Thanks I need help. I have Netgear WNA1100 wifi adaptor which doesn’t have Mac drivers and not supported to Mac.
Is there any way to install it to get internet access? Or, as I have MacBook Pro connected to wifi, is it possible to shared its wifi internet to my hackintosh via ethernet cable? I set internet sharing in my MacBook but my hackintosh doesn’t connect to internet. However, it is connecting to the matchbook pro’s shared folders. How to test USB 3.1 gen 2 speed/reliability?
Hi everybody, Thanks for that tutorial and knowledge sharing Everything worked fine (installation system and nvidia driver, without problem) But i deleted some kexts on my in EFI partition on my usb drive: – RealtekRTL8111.kext – AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext (I did not install yet the bootloader on my system) And when I restart now, my computer loads but it stops at 1/8 on the “progression bar”, then nothing, my computer always is on, but nothing appears on my screen In my USB drive, i tried to put back the kexts, which I erased, but the problem persists Would someone have a solution please? The only kext that is not originate from the “EFI pack” is “lilu.kext 1.16” for go to “lilu.kext 1.25” (for the latest osx security update because the system was crashing, without that) I say that, if it can help someone My config: ASUS Z97 Deluxe Sierra 10.12.6 with the latest security update Bios Setting Thanks PS: Sorry if my English is bad, I do not speak very well that language. Greetings from Washington state. I am a long time Windows (I know, I know) user and I have long considered changing my main PC over to Mac. So I am here to ask a couple questions I am hoping to get answers for and depending on these answers I may switch the OS. First, my PC.
(It’s ancient by today’s standard; please no deriding on the age) Intel I7-980x 3.33GHz CPU eVGA x58 3x SLI 16GB (4x4GB) Kingston DDR3 Crucial 500GB SSD (not 100% on model) Adaptec 6805e SATA RAID Controller (PCIe) SoundBlaster xFi Titanium eVGA 980Ti motherboard BIOS is not efi, I am unsure if it has efi boot support; motherboard does not support SATA III (hence the raid controller); motherboard does not support USB 3; I have, in the past, followed directions and installed Mac OSx 10.x on this PC. I believe it was Snow Leopard but the audio and Ethernet failed to work. My questions are: 1. Does MAC support soundblaster now? Ethernet is Realtek RTL8168D/8111D, is this supported? Will my Adaptec RAID controller be supported for storage?
Is my graphics supported? Looking forward to any info.
Thanks in advance. Hi, I followed your step but when the first boot, I pick Boot OS X Install from Install macOS High Sierra then it goes to the screen with the apple logo and a progress bar.
But right after that it restart and back to the screen that need to check Boot OS X Install from Install macOS High Sierra again. Then I do that step again and it show me this message: “Your computer restarted because of a problem Please press any key or wait a few second to continue starting up”. Then I wait a few second then it back to the screen with apple logo and a progress bar. Than the it restart again and again. The process is endless loop. Can you tell me the solution?
Here is my PC specs: MSI B85M-e45 CPU i3 4160 Monitor Dell S2340L I used HDMI to connect PC to monitor Thanks. Same here Peter.
I’m SOOOO CLOSE but having a few issues after booting getting into the installer. It gets halfway or more then reboots and I have my clover screen options. I’m on a gigabyte board with I tell her graphics and/or Intel and have tried both and same scenario. I feel I’m missing something super simple.
Can anyone chime in? I’ve check my bios settings and they’re spot on and using a dedicated SSD drive formatted hfs+ journaled guide etc. I’m a Mac guy so not sure what I can possibly be missing ugh lol.
Really a perfect guide. First time builder, first time Hackintosher, only took me one day to get High Sierra up and running.
I wanted to note, in case anyone else has this problem, that the first time I used the EFI folder here my boot screen kept getting stuck at “end randomseed ” line. Apparently, with my particular set up (ASUS Prime Z370-A; i7 8700K; SAMSUNG EVO860 SSD) it was necessary to specify where the RAM sticks were plugged into the mobo. I found this out from a really helpful forum post located here that will also guide anyone encountering this problem on how to fix it. Hi, I followed this guide to install High Sierra on my laptop.
Its Intel 5th Gen (Broadwell) 5500U with Intel HD 5500 iGPU and Geforce 840M as dedicated graphic card. I could not get High Sierra to work. Broadwell SMBios settings are not mentioned here but I found through the Clover configurator and set my system configuration to 16,1. The problem is that when Apple logo appears and it loads the system for installation at about 75% I get error as “IOGraphics Flags 0x45 (0x51)” and system reboots immediately.
I have not found any solution to this issue, have searched and tried different config.plists and kexts but nothing gets me past the boot screen. It always reboots at the exact same point giving same info in verbose mode. Can anyone please help me out in installation process? What could I be doing wrong? Hi Folks, I am exploring the possibilities of dual booting my Windows 10 rig. I have an Asus K30AD board with an i5 4440s 2.8, 4 core processor, Intel 4600 graphics. I already have Win 10 installed and I have installed an ssd drive as a second drive, which I would like to run the MacOS on as a dual boot.
I have seen many configurations but, most seem to want the Mac system installed first. I have a lot of software on my Win10 and really don’t want to reinstall it all. Does anyone know of a way, or a link to a page that actually installs MacOS on a second drive without making changes to the Win drive? I appreciate any input. Hello, thanks for the guide. I have an MSI h110M gaming motherboard.
Sooo I had to fallow Step 3.3. I downloaded the link for the OsxAptioFix2, replaced it in the proper folder. However instead of OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi in the folder, I had The original AptioMemoryFix.efi, so I deleted that one instead.
Just wanted to understand if that was ok for me to do. Also, my boot drive doesn’t show up in the boot options which has never happened with this drive before. I have gotten My hackintosh build with UniBeast and Multibeast without much problem but wanted a cleaner install So here I am.
IMacs are typically considered one-piece Macs, with few, if any, upgrades available. You may be surprised to discover that you do have some upgrade options, from simple upgrades that may boost your iMac's performance, to somewhat advanced DIY projects that you may or may not be willing to tackle.
Find Your iMac Model Number The first thing you need is your iMac's model number. Here's how to find it: From the Apple menu, select 'About This Mac.' In the 'About This Mac' window that opens, click the 'More Info' button. The System Profiler window will open, listing your iMac's configuration. Make sure the 'Hardware' category is selected in the left-hand pane.
The right-hand pane will display the 'Hardware' category overview. Make a note of the 'Model Identifier' entry. You can then quit the System Profiler. RAM Upgrades is a simple task, even for novice Mac users.
Apple placed either two or four memory slots in the bottom of each iMac.
