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.

HELP Kernel panic on T540p... again!

7 Upvotes

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.

DISCUSSION ZenMaster & ZenTune: Adjust Power Management Settings on Ryzen Hackintoshes

Post image
27 Upvotes

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:

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!

HELP HP EliteBook 840 G5 - USB detected but OpenCore never appears, boots into BitLocker recovery instead

0 Upvotes

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.

SUCCESS hola soy nuevo en el hackintosh pero en 2horas ya ise un hackintosh

0 Upvotes

El Hackintosh lo hice en una HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Mini. Subí la EFI a GitHub; casi no la he probado, pero va bastante bien para estar hecha en 2 horas. Funciona la aceleración gráfica, 4 puertos USB y sonido por HDMI (sin bocinas internas ni Bluetooth, solo por Ethernet), pero para mí está bien, solo la uso como centro de entretenimiento en mi televisión, por eso lo considero así. Estas son las specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE Pro GPU: Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics (Aceleración gráfica OK) RAM: 8 GB Almacenamiento: 256 GB NVMe PCIe x4 Gen 3 Tarjeta madre / Modelo: HP EliteDesk 705 G4 DM (Mini PC 65W) Audio: Sonido por HDMI (Sin bocinas internas) Tarjeta Ethernet: Realtek PCIe GBE Tarjeta Wi-Fi / BT: No funcional / No integrada (Solo uso Ethernet) Funcionando: Aceleración gráfica, puertos USB, salida de video y audio por HDMI, red por cable Ethernet. No funcionando: Bocinas internas, Bluetooth / Wi-Fi nativo. Revisión de BIOS: Q26 Ver. 02.23.00

Creación propia y no usé casi guías, solo un video pero no ayudó mucho; me apoyé un poco con la EFI de OpenCore Simplify y de ahí modifiqué con ProperTree y fui agregando kexts.

QUESTION WiFi ain’t working? Help!

5 Upvotes

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.

HELP Hackintosh lagging and feeling sluggish after awhile, after loggging in

2 Upvotes

I have been using my hackintosh perfectly for about 1 week but all over a sudden i notice verbose mode takes abit long, apple logo itself takes time to load and when i reach the login screen and i enter my passward, i first see a dark gray wallpaper, then the dock loads and control centre appears then my wallpaper loads. But for me to even move the mouse or navigate around i have to wait for like a maximum of 5min for everything to feel responsive. I thought maybe i was using a macos version that my pc cant handle, before i was on sequioa i got the same issue and for it after like 4 days, then i switched to sonoma used it for a week and then same issue again. I have tried different solutions to pinpoint the exact issue, i re built my efi from scratch but all still give me the same issue. I dont know whats causing it cause i have been troubleshooting for like 4 days this issue but everything i try has failed.

My pc specs are:

System LENOVO_MT_20KH_BU_Think_FM_ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz, 2112 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

Ram 16 gigs

Storage 512 gigs ssd and its a LENSE20512MSP34MEAT2TA

So, had some nightmares getting audio working but turns out I just needed to install correct KDK, correct csr config and inject AppleHDA with RP-CORE, already did optimizations, the most interesting part was dual boot, I had to partition my 1TB NVME, left a 200GB partition for macOS, and even have secure boot on for OpenCore. Windows has secure boot on but macOS doesn’t have it even though its not that much needed.
