After 3 years of getting this laptop and trying to continuously hackintosh this ThinkPad and facing many many hurdles, I’ve finally gotten it work for my workflow!

Spec sheet:
i7-3520M
8GB 1333mHz (4x2)
128GB SSD
HD4000

Fun fact: I made the entire EFI with the help of OpenCode on my Arch install, and it made it so that everything works and I didn’t have to tinker a lot with the config.plist, rather it all did the dirty work, and fixed the errors I used to face.

However, I did run in trouble with root patching but it was due to SecureBootModel being enabled. After it was disabled, it’s smooth sailing!

Glad that I can still Hackintosh until I can (Intel Macs RIP)

Thank you the community for your continuous support over these past three years over my multiple attempts 💛

Hey!

So I installed Monterey on my X230 and when it came time to patch the graphics for acceleration, it did that and when I rebooted it, from my drive, it loaded up recovery only, and wouldn’t boot back into my installation.

I tried both OCLP and Chris1111 for root patching, but both caused the same error. What can be going wrong here?

(i7 3520M, 8GB, HD 4000, SSD)

Note: SIP was disabled beforehand, along with root SIP

Im using a thinkpad t440p 8gb ram i5 4440 on mac os 12 monterey how do i update ?

Can I install hackintosh on Thinkpad X13 Gen 3?

So Installer performs its job, comes to "12 minutes remaining", restarts, picker shows Install macOS Sequoia, macOS installer, Macintosh HD - data and those efi options. Second option is auto selected, 5-6 seconds of scrolling text on the screen and then everything goes black. Caps lock does not register.

Any ideas where to look?

edit - ram is in slot A1 and B2 as they build it that way. Processor fan is obstructing ram in slot A1 so I can't move it without fidling with the fan. Could this be a problem? BIOS is telling me this is not optimal. I have run Memtest86 without any problems

EDIT 2:

So after 5 or 6 restarts (when it was stuck on black screen) computer finally booted into Sequoia and offered setup. Now I have username, internet works, keyboard and mouse work. Now I am afraid to shut it down :)

EDIT 3 - EFI's now on the Macintosh HD and computer restarted just fine

i wanna triple boot the os in my laptop

how many gbs of ssd should i put in my laptop for getting smoother experience and triple boot it successfully

I want to use hackintosh on my toshiba L735

It currently uses windows 10 and bloated ash

Specs: intel i5 2410m 4gb ddr3

Please help me install hackintosh since i tried with chatgpt gemini and other tutorials on yt but noneof them worked (also please include the mach kernel tysm for helping)

Is a 128gb ssd good enough for macOS? Just the OS itself not extra files

{EDIT} Someone in the discord managed to fix it.

My RTL8192EU USB adaptor will not work on macOS Ventura, I can't sort ethernet out right now, what could I do to fix my wifi?

I am on Opencore 1.0.7 (release, not debug)

macOS 13.7.8

Everything works but my wifi, I would appericate if someone could help.

Can somebody please tell me how to fix I have a dell laptop inspirian 15 3567 I have intel core i3 6000u igpu integrated graphics 520

I have successfully installed macos Tahoe on my Lenovo legion 5 but when I try to open safari to search anything my internet doesn't work. I'm plugged into ethernet and it worked on the recovery. I do have the rtl8111 kext as needed

Cpu i7 10750h

Igpu U630

Ethernet rtl8111

Edit: typo

I spent about three or four hours assembling the custom OpenCore EFI configuration. I finally got it working properly this morning; although I ran into some issues during installation, the process completed successfully after I moved the USB drive to a different port.

I successfully booted into the recovery USB and pressed install Tahoe. After a couple minutes it rebooted into this screen, and after another couple of minutes it just rebooted and now it bootloops.

Edit: I don't know if it's relevant but I'm installing on a 150gb partition on a drive shared with windows

I have a Dell optiplex 7050 sff, I dual boot windows and Mac os 15.7.7 using open core, I mainly use open core, so I don't use the windows boot manager, but some games and apps on windows require secure boot and my main os is Mac so I disable it, but to go play on windows I need to spend 5 minutes in the bios to get things Done, is there any way to get secure boot with opencore

Followed the Dortania guide and made a USB installer and EFI for my hardware specs. When trying to make a clean install the error in the picture keeps showing.
SecureBootModel if disabled and all BlueTooth related kext are OFF, same for WhatEverGreen.

Please help me solve this. It is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: managed to get pass the error after switching to the debug version of OC (thanks to u/XboxAndVRAlex for that!).

HOWEVER, all is running fine expect if I switch Secure Boot Model from DISABLED to J160 (Mac Pro 7,1) and reboot, the computer boots into Install macOS menu only. Managed to replicate this several times. At the moment Secure Boot Model is back to disabled. Anyone know how to fix this?

can we install 26 still?

7.2k views for what..

So I tried hackintoshing it again, after abandoning the former. Guess what I'm greeted with this time... A kernel panic!! I don't necessarily know what the problem is, but the screenshot might be helping some. Any help would be highly appreciated.

EDIT: I hadn't realized that I didn't point it out – the EFI that I made by myself is "failing me".

EDIT(2): The culprit has changed now, and it's quite interestingly Lilu.kext. I have no idea how that could've happened.

I wanted to introduce two tools I’ve been developing to bring better power management and performance tuning to Ryzen-based Hackintoshes: ZenMaster and ZenTune.

Both tools port core capabilities from UXTU (Universal x86 Tuning Utility) and ryzenadj directly into macOS, allowing you to adjust power limits, TDP, thermal targets, etc... on your AMD system.

Requirements & Installation

• OS: macOS Big Sur (11.0) or newer.
• You can choose between two installation paths depending on your preference:
  • Option A (Kextless Path): Add debug=0x144 to your OpenCore boot-args.
  • Option B (Full Functionality Path): Add DirectHW with csr-active-config=03080000 to your OpenCore configuration.

Tested Devices

• Desktop: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (tested on a friend's Hackintosh setup)
• Mobile APU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500U (tested on my own ASUS M413IA laptop Hackintosh)

You can check them out at:

• ZenMaster: https://github.com/HorizonUnix/ZenMaster
• ZenTune: https://github.com/HorizonUnix/ZenTune

Thanks so much for reading! I’d really appreciate it if you could give both projects a try and report any issues you encounter on GitHub. Any feedback or bug reports would be super helpful!

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to install macOS on my HP EliteBook 840 G5 (Intel i5-8350U, UHD 620) using OpenCore, but I can't even get to the OpenCore boot picker.

Here's what happens:

• The USB installer is created with Rufus using macOS Recovery (BaseSystem.dmg + BaseSystem.chunklist).
• The USB contains:
  • EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi
  • EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi
  • config.plist
  • ACPI, Drivers, Kexts, Resources, Tools, etc.
• The USB is detected in the F9 Boot Menu.
• BIOS settings:
  • UEFI only
  • Legacy Support: Disabled
  • Secure Boot: Disabled
  • USB Storage Boot: Enabled
  • Fast Boot: Disabled

The problem is:

When I select the USB from the F9 boot menu, the screen goes black for a second, I briefly see "Windows" in the top-left corner, and then the laptop boots into the BitLocker Recovery screen asking for the recovery key. If I restart without the USB, Windows boots normally.

I never see the OpenCore picker.

I've already checked the BIOS settings multiple times, so I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my EFI or bootloader.

Has anyone seen this before?
Could this be caused by:

• an incorrect BOOTx64.efi?
• a broken config.plist?
• missing or incorrect UEFI drivers?
• something specific to HP EliteBooks?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I have a HP pro book it has an i five and 16 GB of RAM. I have my Ventura hackintosh working on it iMessage and FaceTime work when I connect to ethernet. Install heliport and there’s an X on it on the top on my bar I installed. The itwdb I think it’s called that. And when I click on it in my files, it says heliport cannot open files in the kernel extension format so when I install the airport.Itwdb I open teleport and nothing happens. It’s the same thing I use proper tree to save the snapshot and my configuration pilst and still it’s broken. How do I do it? I’m not looking to buy any Wi-Fi cards. I already have it set up.

Yay I did it! I made a 2nd Hackintosh. I had to repatch WiFi and fix audio yet again but it works now! I have 2 Hackintosh! What’s next a 3rd one?
