Hackintosh help


Okay so I’m new at this. I’m currently looking for Ethernet Kext for Intel Realtek PCe I believe. What should I do to go about this. I have a Dell Inspiron 5559. Is there an way to install WiFi on it too?

After 15 hours of trying to get OpenCore to work, I switched to clover and got the whole hack running in just 2.

I spent days reading over the OpenCore guide and figuring out what I need. After building everything, I tried to boot. On first boot attempt, it gave me an error saying "Invalid OpenCore Configuration" After changing some minor values in the plist file, I tried again and from that attempt onwards, whenever I selected the flash drive as the boot device, it would just reset back to the motherboard BIOS. After doing the whole process from the top 3 times, I just gave up on OpenCore and went to clover instead. Its running super stable now without a single error.

What works:

  • iMessage
  • FaceTime
  • Wifi
  • SleepWake
  • All USB Ports \just not internal usb2.0 ones*

What doesn't work:

  • Bluetooth
  • AirDrop
  • Unlock with watch
  • \For bluetooth, I believe the problem is I couldn't get the internal USB2.0 header to work. That's why its not running. Because the card work on windows. I have ordered a internal to external converter so I'm planning on just plugging it into an external port on back of the motherboard. I'm currently using some random usb bluetooth adapter from my old PC and its working. Although not for unlock with watch& airdrop which I desperately need.*
  • Microphone In
  • \As for microphone, I'm not 100% sure what the issue is. I plugged it in the back port as well as the front port and selected that in system preferences but still couldn't get anything.*

Opencore Ryzentosh freezes during use


Opencore Ryzentosh freezes during use

I have been successfully in booting into MacOS Catalina with Opencore. I followed the guide and had the config file verified by the sanity checker.

After running MacOS for a while, or if I let it sit and sleep (even if I disable sleep and monitor shut down) it freezes.

I read some posts that it may be USB related. I have tried SSDT-EC-USBX-AMD.aml in the ACPI folder with the files created with SSDTTime with no effect. I have not been able to map the USB ports yet. It seemed a little over my current skill. However I will spend the time if it proves to be the likely fix.

I have also noticed that the Novabench scores are WAY off from the Windows 10 scores.

I have rebuilt the config file and reinstalled with no luck. I would greatly appreciate any advice. I have linked my config file with my serial redacted. THANKS =)

I built the same setup presented by Snazzy Labs:

AMD RYZEN 7 3700X

ASRock X570M Pro4

Radeon RX 5700 XT

16 GB Corsair Vengeance

a PCIe/USB Airport Express compatible Wifi/Bluetooth card

2 M.2 SSDs

i5 2500k hd graphics 3000


Hi everyone. I would like to make an hackintosh with my i5 2500k that's unused but I don't have any discrete graphics card. Do you think I can do it with high sierra using the hd graphics 3000? I have a 2500k, z77 extreme 4 and 8gb of ram and I've already made an hackintosh with Catalina using this components and a Rx 580 but now I can't use this card because is in my main PC. (I'm sorry for my bad English...)

Intel nuc help ..


Hi. Couple of questions regarding building a hackintosh with an intel nuc.

With the tall models the nucs have 1x m.2 and 1x 2.5” drive. Could I just use the 2.5 drive with a solid state and then use the m.2 slot for a BCM94352z for WiFi and Bluetooth ?

Anyone have info with compatibility with the new NUC10s w/ intels 10th gen i series?

Anyone know how to fix/bypass this error? Searched online but didn’t get much luck on how to fix

IMessage & Facetime unable to activate | Opencore | Catalina 10.15.3


No matter what guide I follow, I am unable to activate Facetime & IMessage on my hackintosh build. My specs are:

- Asus Z170 Pro gaming motherboard

- Intel HD 530 Onboard graphics

- Samsung EVO SSD 500 GB

- Corsair vengeance 16 GB

- SMBIOS = IMac late 2015

- Opencore bootloader

  • I am using emulated NVRAM because my motherboard does not have native NVRAM. NVRAM -c returns: "Error clearing firmware variables: (iokit/common) not permitted "
  • I am using an invalid serial number, checked on Apple coverage website
  • Ethernet = en0 & built-in (hackintool)

Whenever I try activating IMessage / Facetime, I get the customer code error. I also tried using an account made before 2016

I was finally able to get it booted up with much help. Graphics drivers and all work fine, however, for audio, I can only hear system sound such as the macOS error sound or"installation finished" sound. No sound from apps like Chrome, Discord, etc. Any clue on how to fix that> In system report it shows the proper line in and line out with voodoo, but nothing in programs, Any ideas? Thanks.

  • macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G11023)
    • 2600x
    • GTX 1070
    • B450 I Aorus

Intel UHD 620 is getting me mad... (7 MB problem)


Hey folks!
I have a Thinkpad T590 (i7-5865U, UHD 620), I installed a vanilla Mojave (And before also a vanilla Catalina) on it, it works, I mean, I can boot it etc. but... I don't understand how can I make that Video card working.

I'm sure it's possible to use it, somebody in a sort of way did it! But I can't understand what to do. Maybe by injecting another similar card.. I don't know.

Anyway, could someone help me, please?

Opencore AMD lag


I’ve just recently installed macOS on my AMD based system and all through the macOS setup process and now when I’ve finally booted into macOS, the mouse and keyboard have extreme lag. When typing in things it will not register key presses and then quickly type random letters. When I move the mo
