WhiteDragon Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Successfully created a Huawei Matebook X Pro Hackintosh today starting with Catalina 10.15.3. 2018 stock model: i7-8550U GeForce MX150 16GB RAM 512GB SSD The CLOVER from gnodipac886's Github worked for the 10.15.3 install: https://github.com/gnodipac886/MatebookXPro-hackintosh Thank you gnodipac886! I created a UEFI-bootable USB with a Cover partition and a Catalina install partition. I used the direct CLOVER folder from Github and the config.plist provided, not the config-install.plist, and the install worked without issues. I then upgraded the laptop to Catalina 10.15.5 and it hung on loading the Intel graphics firmware, so I added -disablegfxfirmware to the Clover boot args and successfully upgraded to 10.15.5 through system preferences software update. All major features are working: Touchpad Touchscreen Battery Status Backlit Keyboard Sleep I'm using a dongle for the Wi-Fi. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2020 Can the wifi be replaceable? Or is it built-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDragon Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Unfortunately, soldered to the motherboard, so not replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yeah, I remember reading about this system a year ago. Nice looking build though. Congratulations! Touchpad looks awesome. Does it come default like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDragon Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Thanks! I really like it -- about as close to an actual MacBook as you can get with a PC laptop. That is not the default touchpad. It is dbrand skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsradu Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Forget about the laptop, have you seen the view? How can I get a house in the trees? I'd love that! I love nature. Anyway, yeah, congrats on the build. Looking good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDragon Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks about the view, arsradu! It's in Northern California in the SF Bay Area. I had been in the tech industry about 10 years when I bought the place about 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 9, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 9, 2020 Really cool design. I was wondering where is the webcam since it's not really noticeable from your image and for sure all new laptops have to have a webcam. I did a little research and found that it's hidden as in key on the keyboard between F6 and F7 that pops up when in use. I'm not sure how well it works, if you have to look down..does it show your chin and nostril the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDragon Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 LOL! I tried it out the other day and yes, great view of my ugly chin unless I look a little bit down. Not too bad, with regard to my nostrils... (see the attached image)... If you do not look down a little, it mainly looks like you are staring up into the air. Still, I love the overall design!

WhiteDragon Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I've continued to update my Matebook as new versions of kexts become available. The most exciting update is that the native Intel WiFi is now working using a new itlwm kext and the new HeliPort app. They also work on the ASUS laptop I configured back in May. I have attached the versions I'm currently using. Here are the links to where I got them: https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/HeliPort/releases https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases Cheers! - Mark HeliPort.dmg.zip itlwm_v1.0.0_stable.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
