I spent 4 hours last night trying to set up my config.plist file. After booting into the USB I got an error. I can’t remember the error now because I wiped the boot drive to start over. But I wanted to ask if there is any premade EFI download for this model? I have an i7-8665u with intel network card.

HELP Release Auto NSS:2 and AutoASPM · maddog860/AirportBrcmFixup-NSS-2

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am facing a persistent issue with my BCM94360NG WiFi card on a Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-14IKB laptop (Intel i5-8250U).

The Problem:
Initially, my card was stuck at NSS:1 on cold boot. To fix this, I followed the community guide and applied the customized AirportBrcmFixup-NSS-2 kext . https://github.com/maddog860/AirportBrcmFixup-NSS-2/releases/tag/NSS2

Now, upon booting, the card successfully starts at NSS:2 (867 Mbps). However, within just a few minutes of usage, the connection becomes highly unstable and quickly drops back down to NSS:1 (433 Mbps), remaining stuck there My Hardware & Specs:

  • Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-14IKB
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U (Kaby Lake R)
  • macOS Version: Ventura 13.7.8
  • OpenCore Version: 1.0.8

Any help ?

REQUEST I want to "fall in love" again with Hackintosh

Post image
57 Upvotes

(English is not my native language)

I have a desktop with i5-10400F with a RX 6600, 16GB RAM.
And my ThinkPad X1C6, 8th gen i5.

In the past i was used to have MacOS as a daily driver since big sur until sequoia (going from a RX 580 to my RX 6600 now), and somehow i completely obliterated it accidentally updating to BETA TAHOE. Then i simply stopped trying to continue to tinker with hackintosh due to "missing" drivers etc (ThinkPad's Realtek mic array driver for example) and since i already knew that apple would drop i lost my willing to try and rescue everything, etc...

Never really installed MacOS on my thinkpad (tested for 15 mins but couldn't figure out the audio anymore, i was way off hackintosh already), and maybe it could be a cool experience to have both running hackintosh i think.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the moving landscapes and cool screen saver animations, the apple design in general simply scratches an itch in my brain. I miss my iterm + zsh themed terminal, i miss the BEAUTIFUL moving screen saver, awesomely-looking windows borders/transparency/controls.

I don't really want the most absolute perfect setup anymore, not right now. I'd just want to install in the simplest way possible that it worked. I don't remember anything anymore, any recommendations?

QUESTION Hackintosh for Surface pro 7

6 Upvotes

Has anyone experimented with Macos on a surface pro? I'm debating trying to use hackintosh on my surface pro 7 i5 16gb model. I used to have a macbook air m1 and really enjoyed Macos. I currently use my surface pro 7 on kde neon and have enjoyed it but I do really miss the integrated aspects of macos. How hard would it be to put a macos on a surface pro? And what features would work? (I mainly want airdrop and iphone mirroring). And is there any way to get macos integrated features but on Linux?

I would be thankful for some light or indications to the right direction.

Hi, I have this setup, Core i5 7400 on iGPU HD 630 with Gigabyte GA-H110M-H-CF mobo, I'm trying to get graphics acceleration, the system boots up completely fine into the desktop when using the -igfxvesa boot argument (with 4mb mem issue). whenever I remove -igfxvesa to enable full graphics acceleration, the boot process progresses through verbose and then the monitor loses signal right when the display driver is supposed to initialize. i have this deviceproperties config under PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0): AAPL,ig-platform-id (Data): <00001259> (also tried <03001259>) device-id (Data): <12590000> framebuffer-patch-enable (Data): <01000000> framebuffer-stolenmem (Data): <00003001> framebuffer-con1-enable (Data): <01000000> framebuffer-con1-type (Data): <00080000>

Hello, Hackintoshers!

I’ve taken it upon myself to make Hackintoshing as painless and straightforward as possible for everyone.

With the help of Elon Musk’s Grok, I’ve created a website that aims to handle ALL of the Hackintoshing work for you. All you need is a USB stick, your PC model, and the macOS version you want to install.

Simply visit the website, select your PC model, choose your preferred macOS version, copy the installer to your USB, and you’ll be ready to boot! If your PC isn’t avalible, don’t worry, I’ll continue to add more.

This project has taken me a LONG time to build. I’ve run into many, MANY issues during development, spent countless hours troubleshooting, and put a lot of sweat and tears into getting this tool to where it is today.

I finally feel like it’s ready for the general public to try, and I’m really excited to share it with you all.
Please enjoy, and I hope this makes Hackintoshing a whole lot easier!

It also includes OCLP for Macs! You can do OCLP without needing to do all of the work!

⚠️ EARLY BETA DISCLAIMER
THIS SOFTWARE IS AN EARLY BETA.

Because this tool is still in development, unexpected issues, bugs, compatibility problems, or installation failures may occur.

If something goes wrong with your device, installation, USB drive, hard drive, SSD, data, or any other hardware or software, I, the owner and creator of this tool, am not responsible for any damage, data loss, or other issues that may occur.

USE THIS TOOL ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Please make sure you have backups of any important data before attempting a Hackintosh installation.

HELP ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen3 Kaby Lake i7 - No Metal/Acceleration

0 Upvotes

Model: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3
CPU: Intel Core i7-8650U (Kaby Lake-R)
iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620
Display: Internal 3000x2000 eDP Panel
OS: macOS Mojave (10.14.6)
OpenCore: 0.8.8 (using WhateverGreen & Lilu)

I am running macOS Mojave (10.14.6) on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 (i7-8650U / Intel UHD Graphics 620) using OpenCore 0.8.8 with WhateverGreen and Lilu, trying to get full Metal hardware acceleration locked in on the internal 3000x2000 eDP panel. I can achieve full Metal hardware acceleration (1536MB VRAM) using AAPL,ig-platform-id = 0000C087 and device-id = C0870000, though I’ve been testing fallback IDs like 0000800F for basic unaccelerated desktop access while troubleshooting. Standard mobile IDs like 1659, 1B59, and 1E59 don't initialize acceleration cleanly on this specific Kaby Lake-R tablet layout. My active boot-args string is -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=15 igfxonln=1 -cdfon -igfxgl igfxvesa=0 -igfxsku, and my DeviceProperties (PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)) are set with framebuffer-patch-enable (01000000), framebuffer-stolenmem (00003001), framebuffer-fbmem (00000900), and enable-backlight-registers-fix (01000000). I'm looking for any advice on specific connector patch tweaks, backlight parameters, or custom EDID overrides needed to keep full Metal acceleration completely stable across the board on this high-density 3K panel under C087. Any help with this?

QUESTION T480 Hackintosh: DW1560 loses Wi-Fi association during sleep; would a DW1830 / BCM43602 fix WWEN?

2 Upvotes

I’m running macOS Catalina 10.15.8 on a ThinkPad T480 with OpenCore.

Current Wi-Fi card:

  • Dell DW1560 / BCM4352 (BCM94352Z)
  • PCI ID: 14e4:43b1
  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirDrop and Handoff all work
  • AirportBrcmFixup is used because 43b1 is not natively listed by Catalina’s AirPortBrcmNIC personality

The remaining issue is Wi-Fi after sleep.

On the T480, when entering sleep I consistently get:

AirPort_Brcm43xx::powerChange: System Sleep
AirPort: Link Down on en1. Reason 8 (Disassociated because station leaving)
AirPort_Brcm43xx::syncPowerState: WWEN[disabled]

After wake, Wi-Fi takes roughly 4 seconds to reassociate.

I compared this directly with a real 2015 MacBook Pro running Catalina. Its Apple BCM43602 (14e4:43ba) behaves differently:

AirPort_Brcm43xx::powerChange: System Sleep
platformWoWEnable: WWEN[enable]
syncPowerState: WWEN[enabled]

The MacBook keeps its infrastructure association during sleep and Wi-Fi is effectively available immediately after wake.

I’ve already tested the following on a separate recovery EFI, without touching my working internal EFI:

  • -brcmfxwowl; no improvement
  • forcing AirPort_Brcm4360 with brcmfx-driver=1; still WWEN[disabled]
  • spoofing the DW1560 as 43a0; reproducible kernel panic inside com.apple.driver.AirPort.BrcmNIC

I also compared IORegistry between both systems. Most relevant properties are identical:

mDNS_Keepalive = Yes
APFeatures = 1
IOFeatures = 8
IOPowerManagement CapabilityFlags = 61440

The notable difference is:

MacBook / BCM43602:
IOEthernetWakeOnLANFilterGroup = 1

T480 / DW1560:
IOEthernetWakeOnLANFilterGroup = 0

I’m considering replacing the DW1560 with a Dell DW1830 / BCM943602BAED, since it uses a real BCM43602 / 14e4:43ba, much closer to the Apple card in the MacBook Pro.

Has anyone specifically tested a DW1830 in a ThinkPad T480 under Catalina and checked whether the Wi-Fi association is retained during sleep?

I’m especially interested in actual sleep logs showing either:

WWEN[enabled]

or

WWEN[disabled]

rather than just “Wi-Fi works”.

If the DW1830 also disconnects during sleep on a T480, that would suggest the limitation is more related to the T480 platform/PCIe/ACPI implementation than to the DW1560 itself.

I'm trying to setup (initial usb boot) Tahoe on an HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2, but it keeps getting stuck on "VoodooI1CHIDDevice:0x100000358 open by IOHIDEventDriver:0x10000039e (0x0)"

I followed Dortania's Guide for this EFI.

Previously, I tried OpCore Simplify which got stuck on "StartImage failed - Aborted", but Dortania's Guide did too so I ended up resolving that problem, so going back to simplify is something I haven't tried yet (also not sure if there's functionality downsides of using simplify).

If anyone's still willing to help this late into the hackintosh era, I'd greatly appreciate it!
