Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 9, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yes, but make sure to disable one of the *input.efi as I mentioned above Actually you could use the 1 set of files, just disable one of the *input.efi in the Config Guys, no need to quote on each reply, just click on reply to this topic below.

VRdP Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) The 7490 did boot to the online usb installer. I connected to WiFi, erased the hard drive, partitioned for installing Windows on the other partition and began installing. After the screen which shows a hard drive, a blue progress bar and the time remaining, the PC should boot to the apple logo with the time remaining below. But after the apple logo appears, instead of showing time remaining the pc resets itself and begins the whole process again. Has anybody heard of something that strange? @quynkk5, @Jake Lo, @Hervé, any ideas on why could it be booting to the download part of the installation but not to the part with the apple logo and the time remaining below? Feels like I'm so close, yet so far too... Edited July 9, 2021 by VRdP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihari Oyama Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Why don't you use macOS Offline Installer from Olarila? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted July 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2021 it might be trying to update the non existent apple mac firmware. if using OC there is option to not allow it as we do not need that on a hack. i don't recall what it is off the top of my head but it's in the OC documentation.

I tried, and the laptop reboots itself a few seconds after choosing the offline installation USB to boot from in the OpenCore picker. I am absolutely frustrated, I feel I've tried everything and still no luck. I ovbiously need help from someone who really knows what hackintoshing is all about. Up to now, the closest I feel I've been to hackintoshing my Latitude E7490 with Intel i7 8650U cpu is with the EFI provided by @quynkk5 which covers the first part of the online installation (fails after first reboot) and has not made the trackpad operative. Please, I beg anyone reading this to try to prepare an OpenCore EFI Folder and sharing it with me. On my own, there's nothing else I think I can do. The Hardware is the following: Processor: Intel i7 8650U @1.9 MHz WiFi: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 Ethernet: Intel I219-LM Intel Bluetooth Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 620 Sound: Realtek ALC3246 Hard drive:Toshiba 512GB SSD Firmware version 01.19.0 I would be really thankful if someone could build and share with me a working EFI folder for this laptop. Thank you very much in advance. 47 minutes ago, Bronxteck said: it might be trying to update the non existent apple mac firmware. if using OC there is option to not allow it as we do not need that on a hack. i don't recall what it is off the top of my head but it's in the OC documentation. Thank you, I found the two options you refer two which should be handled in tandem, and they were OK. If you are kind of expert, I would muy appreciate your help building a working EFI folder for this laptop and sharing it with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that, using mountEFI and replacing the one on the USB with that of @quynkk5, and the result was the following (you can see it on a video I captured here). 1- The bootpicker appeared. 2- I chose "Install macOS Big Sur". 3- The verbose began. 4- At some point it got trapped in an infinite loop which can be seen at the end of the video. Anyone who can help me solve this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted July 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2021 sometimes the installer reboots 3 to 4 times before installing. have you waited that long? no i did not watch the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
