Rebuilding EFI from scratch. Need advice.

Hello,


I am rebuilding my EFI fully from scratch and I have several questions about Kexts. Can somebody tell me which should I transfer and which not and why. Thanks in advance.


My current EFI MacPro7,1, new EFI iMacPro1,1. (New EFI is with less kext). I already have new USBMap.kext for iMacPro1,1, it's just not in the picture. Also I know that I will transfer RadeonSensor.kext and SMCRadeonGPU.kext to display my GPU temps. But what about others? And not sure why do I need RestrictEvents.kext.

Mobo: Z690-I ASUS. Thanks in advance !

# 🪛 Notes

Nothing fancy — just used the default kexts and Heliport for Wi-Fi.

This was my first Hackintosh, found the guide through Reddit. The hardest part was fixing the EFI structure so it would boot without the USB. I ended up doing it manually instead of using a cp ... command in Terminal — that worked perfectly.

Never owned a real Mac before, so I’m still learning macOS shortcuts and customizations.

Next up was going to be a Framework 16 build — but canceled that idea since it has a Radeon 780M (iGPU) 😅

Hackintosh an old Compaq Presario CQ50

I want to hackintosh my 2008 Compaq Presario CQ50-215NR. Whick version shall I go with? It is a BIOS type, not UEFI

Is there a possibility to run iMac20,1 or iMac20,2 SMBIOS with Alderlake CPU? (12600k)

Pretty much the title.

I’m interested in running my 12600k, RX6600 with iMac20,1 igpu. Currently I’m getting black screen (loss of signal) and that’s it.

As I understand, I have to spoof the igpu somehow so that macOS think it’s there but it does not use it.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Opencore Boot Option

I have Opencore installed to my internal drive and it works great but I can't get it to show up in my UEFI boot options and instead it boosts to Windows.

Best hackintosh laptop for macOS Tahoe

What is the best laptop you could get for macOS Tahoe when its fully supported? And I might get a ton of “by the time you get that laptop you could just have gotten a used MacBook” but I’m just curious and here for the love of the game. Specifically looking for one that would support as many features as possible and be as compatible as possible.

I need help

So basically whenever I try to boot hackintosh my boot screen doesn't show up. It showed up before but I deleted hackintosh because some of the kex weren't working right. So I redid it with an updated version of the open core simplify program and when I booted in to the select menu it was black and I moved over one and then pressed enter and that would have been my Tahoe boot up and it booted into Mac OS but I need to enter the recovery mode and it's really hard to do without being able to see. So does anybody have any suggestions?

How to setup config.plist of OpenCore Bootloader for a non Mac-OS Environment?

I previously used Clover Boot Manager for emulating an uefi environment on my legacy system. With OpenCore, can I also do the same but without injecting Mac OS specific to SMBIOS ACPI & such??

How would I configure my config.plist so that it is not seen as a Mac?

System:
Dell Inspiron N5010
Intel Core i3\-370M

Why can’t I select windows from boot manager?

Quick question about EFI

I’ve been into hackintosh on and off for a few year and I’m just curios as to why various forums frown upon EFI sharing and why is it a big NO NO on Reddit?

i think i might give up on Hackintoshing

Hello Everyone , so i was using a pre-made EFI to run MacOS Ventura 13.7.8 but there was no sound or graphics acceleration , then i made my own EFI using the dortania guide , but it wouldn't work , anything that is supposed to fix the gpu acceleration just reboots it but macos actually turns on because the screen goes black for a bit then comes back to where it froze in verbose and after trying the pre-made EFI it gave me that MacOS shut off randomly or some error like that because i shut it off with the power button , i tried different device-ids , different everything , tried device-ids from the dortania guide and the whatevergreen manual in github , NOTHING , it either freezes or reboots to windows , i'm so confused , i spent like 4 days troubleshooting but nothing worked , my machine is an HP EliteBook 830 g6 with an i5-8365U and a UHD 620 and 24gb of ram and 256gb of NVMe .


BOTTOM LINE : macos is installed , but any attempt to fix the gpu just crashes it ,nothing worked , i might give up on hackintoshing.
