Random UI freezes
Image
I've had my AMD hackintosh running beautifully for 3 months now. However, I randomly see a 3-4 second UI freeze where I can move my mouse but not interact with the UI. If anyone has had this issue and has a solution, please let me know :) submitted by /u/Itechnob [link] [comments] [► Source]
Can someone who knows a thing of two about checking if motherboards support UEFI booting read this and help me. Also before anyone says that I didn’t do my research, read the first sentence.
Image
I’ve been looking around the internet the whole day yet the only answers I found were “How to tell if you’ve booted using UEFI or Legacy”. This is kind of unrelated but it’ll help me towards actually booting macOS. Does anyone know how to check if a motherboard supports UEFI booting. I’ve been looking around the internet the whole day yet the only answers I found were “How to tell if you’ve booted using UEFI or Legacy”. I know I’m currently booted through Legacy which I finally figured out is why I’m unable to boot from my usb since it just flat out gives me an error. However I’m unable to figure out if my motherboard the “Intel Oneonta Falls” motherboard, supports UEFI booting. I have however, figured out that my BIOS does support it, just not sure if my motherboard supports it. submitted by /u/jason_he54 [link] [comments] [► Source]
Does the 5600M GPU in the Dell G5 work?
Image
Thinking about picking one of these up for hackintoshing, it looks like the desktop RX 5600 is supported, and the 16" Macbook Pro has a Radeon Pro 5600M which is slightly different, wondering if anyone has tried the Dell G5 15 SE specifically? submitted by /u/makeramen [link] [comments] [► Source]

Cheap usb wifi dongle
Image
Hi, I recently had a small hackintosh project with my laptop and ran into a problem with unsupported wifi card. I want to get a usb dongle to start with but most of the dongles from the list on this subreddit can’t be bought in my country, have bad reviews, overpriced shipping from abroad or can’t be even found. Does anyone know any working usb dongle that would be supported in Catalina which is cheap and ideally can be bought on aliexpress (aliexpress because of cheap shipping fee and good prices). I don’t really want to spend a lot of money on this, ideally under 10€ I just want it to work, it doesn’t have to have the best signal etc. So if anyone has any experience with dongles from aliexpress let me know please. submitted by /u/Martaxd [link] [comments] [► Source]
Opencore Mojave iGPU not working anymore after 18G6020 update
Image
So, I'm still on Mojave; I had deferred the July 2020 update for quite a long time. My system was working perfectly with OpenCore 0.5.9: I've got a discrete GPU (RX570) but the iGPU (UHD 630) was enabled for internal computation use (quick look, etc). The iGPU appeared correctly in system report, along the dGPU, using SMBIOS iMac 19,1 Now it's not working anymore. I realized quick look would get stuck, and preview doesn't render JPGs anymore (gets stuck). Also, the systems seems to stumble every now and then (freezes with a WindowServer spin, and sometimes Firefox tabs crash without an apparent reason). UHD 630 doesn't appear anymore in my system profile, either. I have tried with various framebuffers (desktop, mobile, empty), and I tried upgrading to OpenCore 0.6.0, but I had no success. My system: Gigabyte H370M-DS3H Intel Core i5 9500 (coffee lake refresh, UHD 630) 32GB DDR4 Asus Expedition RX570 Samsung 970 EVO 1TB ​ This is my working 0.5.9 config.p...

Hey guys! I‘m trying to help a friend install his first hackintosh on an existing Skylake desktop.

Can't boot without the USB installer (Open Core 0.6)
Image
This is my first time setting up a Hackintosh and I used my old laptop ( HP 450 ) for it. I followed the original Dortania guide and I successfully installed it but I can't seem to run it without plugging in the USB stick that contains the installer. It basically shows me that: Legacy Mode enabled -> Can't find boot device Legacy Mode disabled -> Boot device not found. Please install an OS on your hard disk. I've already done this post-install guide where I'll mount the HDD's EFI using CorpNewt's MountEfi then copying all the contents of the USB stick's EFI folder into it. I already tried running the BootInstall.command on the partition that contains the HDD's EFI but it fails saying that I can't write on a read-only directory. I made the installer on a Windows machine and the guide has this note that I can't quite understand: Note: Installers made with gibMacOS's MakeInstall.bat on Windows will default to a Master Boot Reco...

I want to potentially upgrade my graphics card since I only have an RX580 and want to have some better GPU performance. I'm on an OpenCore build.

Hi everyone,I build my Hackintosh last month, during the process I recorded every step on twitter.Recently I found a tool to gather all the tweets I wrote and put them on one page, it's really interesting to see how myself achieve the final goal step by step.Although the process was not easy, I had a lot of fun and learn so many things for building the Hackintosh. So I want to share this with you, hoping it will help some of you.

OpenCore Instructions for Asus Z170 Maximus VIII Hero Alpha?

Anyone freeze at LOG:EXITBS:START for JUST Big Sur but not Catalina? (Z490 Asrock)

Hey all. So my build is Z490 Asrock itx build. Not sure why, but it seems to freeze in the Big Sur installer but works fine in Catalina. I'm using the latest build of required kext/open core, with a config similar to: github.com Old-Black-Dog/Hackintosh-ASRock-Z490M-ITX-ac Contribute to Old-Black-Dog/Hackintosh-ASRock-Z490M-ITX-ac development by creating an account on GitHub. github.com github.com with some small adjustments. Anyway, I followed the instructions in the dortania guide about this issue here: LOG:EXITBS:START And followed them pretty closely to try and fix (I think I tried the combos all listed, but it's odd its Big Sur specific so I'm checking here).

How to disable kexts at boot in OpenCore?

Aside from putting kexts into the proper folder of OC, it appears that OpenCore also requires a delineation of kexts within the config.plist.

Can't update Catalina
Image
Hi everyone! I'm trying to update from 10.15.4 to 10.15.6, which is required by Final Cut Pro 10.4.9. Before trying to update via System Preferences, I've manually downloaded and installed Clover 5121 over the previous 5107 install. Then I launch the update from System Preferences. The Apple progress bar appears for a few seconds, then the computer reboots, then Clover offers a new entry to boot from, "Boot Mac OS X Install for Macintosh HD - Donnǔes via Preboot". I select it and press enter, then I get an Error I'm unable to understand, with errors regarding GV wake-failure, AGU things or \\macOS Install Data\\Locked Files\\Boot Files\\prelinkedkernel. I'm French and in the Clover entries, "Donnǔes" is buggy, it should be "Données". Any suggestion? :) Thanks in advance!
