Hi, I've tried clearing the BIOS and resetting it as recommended. No success I've tried to disable drives. Still no success. But as I wrote in the first post: my Toshiba is not NVMe - it is SATA M.2. So finally I found some time to read carefully Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide and make my own EFI folder. It is not tested yet, but when creating I found: Configuration Notes In some cases where you cannot set the DVMT-prealloc of these cards to 64MB or higher in your UEFI Setup, you may get a kernel panic. Usually they're configured for 32MB of DVMT-prealloc, in that case add these values to the iGPU properties: Key Type Value ============================================ framebuffer-patch-enable Data 01000000 framebuffer-stolenmem Data 00003001 framebuffer-fbmem Data 00009000 ============================================ https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-laptop.plist/kaby-lake.html#deviceproperties So in short, DVMT is important and there are two possibilities: change DVMT value, which you can read about in many guides, e.g. here: or change the OC configuration as described in Dortania's Guide. This change is not only required to have 4K output on HDMI. It is required also for install/run macOS system. Quickly I corrected config.plist files in the EFI folders, both from @Akerbeltz14 and from @takobaba, and the installation program started. Now I hope it will go further without additional problems Regards, Marcin

Hi, I'm still newbie with running Hackintosh. I have Dell 7280 (i7-7300u, 16GB RAM, 1920x1080, Toshiba SATA M.2). I found some OpenCore EFI folders but I can't properly boot MacOS installer. First I've tried @Akerbeltz14 folder with Sonoma installer from this topic: Installer ends on this screen, then computer is rebooted: Then I've tried @takobaba folder with Ventura from GitHub: https://github.com/takobaba/EFI-Opencore-Dell-7280 Installer loads and ends with following information, and then laptop reboots: Maybe someone can deduce something from the above regarding corrections to the OC configuration? The third I found is @Lorys89 shared with GitHub: https://github.com/Lorys89/DELL_LATITUDE_7280 I didn't tested it yet. Do I need to make described modifications in modGRUBShell.efi? @takobaba and @Akerbeltz14 does not mention about that. Overall, I'm going to try to adapt the OpenCore configuration to my device. But with my limited experience, I don't know what to do if I can't even start and tell if anything works for me But ACPI modifications looks like magic for me Thank you in advance for any help. Regards, Marcin

Creating a working Hackintosh with @Hervé instructions is simple (Thanks!), but modifying it requires reading "a few" details It took me some time, but I finally realized that OCLP is not for me, but for owners of real Macs... although @Hervé already wrote it to me I read a little about OpenCore and even understood some of what can be found on the Dortania website I will try to run my Hackintosh from OpenCore. If I understand correctly, if I manage to boot the computer from a pendrive with correctly configured OpenCore, it should then be possible to run the Catalina installation already existing on the disk? However, when reading the documentation for OC and OCLP, there is something that I do not understand This applies to both my Dell and the original MacBookPro8.1. Once I manage to install Big Sur or Monterey or something newer on such equipment, I then run OCLP and the option Post-Install Root Patch. This part is simple. But the question that bothers me: How to properly install Monterey? I already tried to run the installer and saw a message that my hardware is incompatible. I have to change the SMBIOS to one compatible with Monterey during the installation and, after installing it, set the one that suits my hardware? Is there another way that I haven't found yet?

For now, the E6220 is my only Mac, so I have to make changes carefully But I'm waiting for E7270. With the working second one I will try to upgrade E6220 to newer MacOS Using OCLP I prepered USB installer with Monterey for MacBookPro8,1, but I can't boot with it. It is for UEFI booting, but E6220 has problem with UEFI. I probably need to use Clover + OCLP? About the main problem from this topic: Camera microphone started working. Automagically. After restart. I do not know where the problem was :/ And at the end: I found the way to run Chrome/Opera/Edge/Vivaldi/Brave on my Hackintosh with Catalina patched by DosDude1's Patcher. As I understood THIS IS VERY INSECURE, so if anyone tries to use it, be warned. Generally the source of the problem is here: Reason: no suitable image found. Did find: file system sandbox blocked open() of '/System/Library/Frameworks/SafariServices.framework/Versions/A/SafariServices' or here, from logs using command log show --start '2023-12-30 16:00:00' --predicate '((processID == 0) AND (senderImagePath CONTAINS "/Sandbox")) OR (subsystem == "com.apple.sandbox.reporting")': Violation: deny(1) file-read-data /Library/Apple/System/Library/Frameworks/SafariServices.framework/Versions/A/SafariServices The problem is connected with application sandboxing, which is made to increase security. These apps should work, but the Patcher is probably making some changes to the system causing their signatures to not be accepted. I don't know how to change sandbox rules, so the only way I found is to completly disable sandboxing of these apps. How to check if the Sandbox is the problem? Run from terminal for example: /Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera --no-sandbox If works then you need a way to start it from the Launcher. I've created apps with Automator: start the Automator create File -> New -> Application add Run AppleScript write the script (look below) save it in Applications foolder The script can look like this: on run {input, parameters} (do shell script "open -a '/Applications/Google Chrome.app' --args --no-sandbox") return input end run or like this: on run {input, parameters} (do shell script "open -b com.operasoftware.Opera --args --no-sandbox") return input end run

2. I will check the BIOS and I will put back the SSD with Windows to be sure if the built-in microphone works properly 1. OCLP will be quite a challenge for me, but I hope to have some fun too. If it works, I'll describe it for others, and if not, that's fine. I'll probably have a few questions First, these: If I understand correctly: OCLP creates a bootable USB. If the boot from USB is successful, I will be able to install the system. If it installs correctly, then I should patch the working system?

Hi, A few years ago I bought E6220 with the intention of installing macOS, but somehow I gave up and used it with Windows. Recently, the laptop "was no longer needed", so I came back to the idea of installing macOS I read the instructions provided in @Hervé E6220 guide and started with High Sierra. Everything went smoothly, even Intel Wi-Fi started working (from AirportItlwm.kext) and I decided to update to Catalina. Here I needed to think through the instructions a little bit. As I'm a novice, I didn't really know what I was doing and something like this worked: - I updated Clover first. - Then I updated the files from the packages prepared by @Hervé, i.e. I overwrote what I had installing High Sierra with files for Mojave and then with files for Catalina. - I restarted the system to check if it works. - After reboot, I ran DosDude1's Patcher and installed 10.15.7. It generally works, but I noticed 2 problems: 1) Some applications do not work, e.g. Chrome. But I think it is not a problem of Hackintosh, but of the Patcher itself and the computer's incompatibility with Catalina requirements (no compatibility with Metal): https://github.com/dosdude1/macos-catalina-patcher/issues/237. Am I right? 2) The "built-in microphone" doesn't work for me (I use the Polish version of the system and I translated it from Polish to English). It's about the microphone next to the camera. It seems to be detected (I can see the built-in microphone in System Preferences -> Sound), but when I test it, it doesn't work. Should it work? Am I missing something in the system or have I configured something incorrectly? I also had to change AirportItlwm.kext to itlwm.kext + HeliPort. Is it again problem with Patcher or with Catalina itself? Regards, Mickey
