Step 1: Preparation
Before starting the installation process, it is important to prepare your IdeaPad for the Hackintosh process. This includes backing up all important data, disabling Secure Boot, and enabling virtualization in the BIOS settings.
Step 2: Download the necessary files
The next step is to download the necessary files for the Hackintosh process. This includes the macOS Sonoma 14.3 operating system, the Clover bootloader, and any additional drivers or kexts that may be required.
Step 3: Install Clover
Once the necessary files are downloaded, you will need to install the Clover bootloader on your IdeaPad. This can be done using a USB flash drive or a CD/DVD.
Step 4: Boot from the Clover bootloader
After installing the Clover bootloader, you will need to boot your IdeaPad from the Clover bootloader. This can be done by restarting your computer and holding down the appropriate key (usually F12) to enter the boot menu.
Step 5: Install macOS Sonoma 14.3
Once you are booted into the Clover bootloader, you can start the installation process for macOS Sonoma 14.3. This will involve selecting the installation options and following the on-screen instructions.
Step 6: Post-installation configuration
After the installation is complete, you will need to configure your IdeaPad for use with macOS Sonoma 14.3. This may involve installing additional drivers or kexts, configuring the network settings, and adjusting the system settings.
Step 7: Test the installation
Once the installation and configuration are complete, you should test the installation to ensure that everything is working properly. This can be done by running benchmarks, testing the hardware acceleration, and verifying that all features are working as expected.
Successful update to Sonoma 14.3 on Ivy Bridge 🌁🍺
Author: @Own_Minute3287 After numerous trials and tribulations over the years with the Lenovo BIOS and proprietary hardware, I've finally hacked macOS Sonoma 14.3 onto my IdeaPad.
Almost everything including GPU acceleration, Broadcom WiFi & Bluetooth, AirPlay, AirDrop, Handoff and others, the only caveat is sleep specifically on the AC adapter (sleep on battery is perfectly fine).
If anyone would like to have the know-how, I'm free to share in my free time. Cheers 🍻
