Do you ever think Hackintoshing will come to ARM? We all know MacOS Golden gate Is the end of all Hackintoshes, It was a really nice journey, Even if apple decided to finally kill us off. Now, do y'all think we'll ever get something like this again? Maybe on the new snapdragons PCs? I honestly would LOVE if something like OC, or Clover got to ARM. Anyways R.I.P.

Ventura installer freezes at 56.3% on HP Pavilion / UHD 630 Hi. I’m trying to install macOS Ventura 13.7.8 on an HP Pavilion 15-bc401ur with OpenCore 1.0.7. Hardware: i5-8300H / Coffee Lake-H Intel UHD 630 GTX 1050 disabled with -wegnoegpu + SSDT _OFF Synaptics PS/2 touchpad Realtek ALC295 Realtek RTL8111 Ethernet Realtek RTL8822BE Wi-Fi, unsupported SMBIOS: MacBookPro15,1 The installer boots fine. Internal display/backlight works. Disk Utility sees the SSD. I made a full offline Ventura USB with createinstallmedia. I tried both GUI installer and Terminal: startosinstall --volume /Volumes/nvme --agreetolicense --nointeraction --forcequitapps Before installing I run: pmset -a sleep 0 displaysleep 0 disksleep 0 standby 0 autopoweroff 0 caffeinate -dimsu & The target SSD is erased cleanly: diskutil eraseDisk APFS nvme GPT /dev/diskX The install always freezes at: Preparing: 56.3% The laptop completely locks up and needs force power off. After reboot, OpenCore does **not** show a macOS Installer entry. Logs show that package extraction succeeds and Preboot/Recovery are created. The last useful part is around: UpdatePreboot EFILoginInterfaceGraphics EnsureRecoveryBooter: Finished operations normally EnsureRecoveryBooter: At exit with retErr=0 Then it freezes. I already tried: minimal EFI disabling dGPU with boot-arg and SSDT disabling battery/audio/Ethernet/sensors UIScale=1 -igfxvesa CleanNvram full disk erase before install Any idea what can cause a hard freeze right after EnsureRecoveryBooter / UpdatePreboot, before the first reboot and before the macOS Installer entry appears? https://redd.it/1u5gt5e @r_hackintosh

Help Lenovo Yoga C940 (Ice Lake i7-1065G7) - Black Screen on Boot Hello everyone, I'm stuck on a persistent black screen issue on my Lenovo Yoga C940. MacOS (Tahoe) is successfully booting in the background (Caps Lock toggles, no kernel panics), but the internal display refuses to light up. ​ Hardware Specifications: Laptop Model: Lenovo Yoga C940-14IIL (14-inch, 1080p FHD panel) CPU: Intel Core i7-1065G7 (Ice Lake) GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 (8086:8a52) Storage / NVMe: Samsung PM981 RAM: 16GB LPDDR4X Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Intel 9560 / PCH CNVi WiFi Audio Codec: Realtek ALC298 ​ What I Have Done & Tried: SSDT-PNLF: I dumped my raw DSDT in Fedora Linux and used Corpnewt's SSDTTime to build a custom SSDT-PNLF.aml. Graphics Profiles: Because my iGPU natively shows as 8A52, I am using the standard 1080p AAPL,ig-platform-id 0000528A without any device-id spoofing. Boot Arguments: My current boot args are: -v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 alcid=3 -igfxblr -igfxcdc -igfxdvmt igfxonln=1 agdpmod=vit9696. Lid Sleep Trick: I have tried closing the lid, and waking it back up, but the screen remains completely black. ​ My EFI: I have uploaded my EFI folder here for review: [https://github.com/LJKz/Lenovo-Yoga-C940-14IIL-Hackintosh-Help-\] ​ Any guidance on fixing this would be hugely appreciated! Thank you! https://redd.it/1u5bbus @r_hackintosh

ToshLLM: a native Open Source macOS app to run LLMs locally on AMD dGPUs (tested on RX 6700 XT + NootRX) If you’re running an AMD RDNA2 card on a Hackintosh with [NootRX](https://github.com/ChefKissInc/NootRX), you already have working Metal — but stock inference engines still output garbage on these GPUs. **ToshLLM** ships llama.cpp with AMD‑specific Metal patches (chunked staging transfers + concurrency disable) so you get correct output at full speed, in a polished SwiftUI app. * Developed/tuned on **RX 6700 XT 12 GB + NootRX** * Qwen3‑8B \~57 t/s gen / \~101 t/s prompt; 35B MoE \~26 t/s with MTP * Model manager with VRAM/RAM estimates for *your* card, auto MoE offload, benchmarks, OpenAI API * Brand‑new **macOS 26 “Tahoe” Liquid Glass** UI (falls back to materials on 14/15) * Open source, GPL‑3.0, x86\_64 Heads‑up: it’s beta, DMGs aren’t notarized yet (you’ll need “Open Anyway” once). On other AMD GPUs / driver setups behavior may differ — reports welcome. [https://github.com/engeldlgado/toshllm](https://github.com/engeldlgado/toshllm) https://redd.it/1u58h95 @r_hackintosh

TP-Link UB500 (Realtek RTL8761BU) Bluetooth now works on macOS (with kext) https://preview.redd.it/ax1jf8f9b47h1.png?width=715&format=png&auto=webp&s=eee2c063fc0580514274b2040ba7e4b430bdaaa9 https://preview.redd.it/oyhrm9f9b47h1.png?width=1150&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb94265262223b9511ee00934e8cbe484ab8066a The TP-Link UB500 uses a Realtek RTL8761BU, which has no macOS driver, so the usual advice is to buy a Broadcom dongle instead. I wrote a small IOKit kext that uploads the Realtek firmware at boot (the same thing Linux's btrtl driver does), then hands the controller to macOS's bluetoothd via BlueToolFixup. Tested on macOS 26 (Tahoe) with OpenCore: pairing, A2DP/HFP audio, headset battery, and HID all work. Firmware re-uploads automatically on every boot. Limitations: discovering brand-new devices is finicky (macOS runs only a short inquiry on this chip — put the device in pairing mode and select it quickly); already-paired devices reconnect fine. Apple Continuity won't work (needs genuine Apple hardware). Requirements: OpenCore + Lilu + BlueToolFixup. Build it yourself or use the release. Repo: https://github.com/bennetzakaria/RTLBluetoothFirmware Feedback and testing on other RTL8761BU dongles welcome. https://redd.it/1u52oev @r_hackintosh

When did building a brand-new hackintosh become a dumb decision? I was thinking late 2021-mid 2022, but what do y'all think? Like which apple silicon Mac made it truly pointless https://redd.it/1u4zqsd @r_hackintosh

Lenovo Legion 5 (i7-10750H, GTX 1660 Ti) – HDMI not detected in macOS Tahoe Lenovo Legion 5 (i7-10750H, GTX 1660 Ti) – HDMI not detected in macOS Tahoe Current status: macOS Tahoe 26.3.2 Intel UHD 630 working AppleALC working Internal audio working Realtek ALC257 (layout-id 11) OCLP Modern Audio patch applied successfully The only remaining issue is HDMI. When I connect an external monitor through HDMI: No external display is detected system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType only shows the internal display Intel UHD 630 is the only GPU visible in macOS GTX 1660 Ti is disabled as expected Several people suggested that on the Legion 5 the HDMI port may be physically wired to the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti instead of the Intel iGPU, which would make HDMI unusable under macOS. Can anyone confirm whether the HDMI port on the Legion 5 (i7-10750H + GTX 1660 Ti) is connected directly to the NVIDIA GPU? Has anyone managed to get HDMI output working on this model, or is it a hardware routing limitation? Thanks. https://redd.it/1u4xgzg @r_hackintosh

I think hackintosh will be back in the nearby future... I know that macOS 27 killed x86_64 support, but due to the rise of arm machines, I'm sure that there is another way of hackintoshing PC's and Laptops in the nearby future! But it's only arm machines... https://redd.it/1u4qzl1 @r_hackintosh

HELP Intel UHD 630 black screen with DP-to-HDMI adapter on HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF — macOS Sequoia Hi everyone!! I'm running a Hackintosh on an HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF and I'm stuck with a black screen when GPU acceleration is enabled. Here's my full setup: Hardware: \- CPU: Intel Core i5-9500 (Coffee Lake) \- iGPU: Intel UHD 630 (no dGPU) \- Motherboard: HP Q370 chipset \- RAM: 16GB \- Monitor: Koorui 24'' (1920x1080) connected via DisplayPort → HDMI passive adapter (i wanted to go with fully display port but the screen doesnt seems to have a displayport) \- Storage: Kingston NVMe 512GB Software: \- macOS Sequoia 15 \- OpenCore (latest) \- SMBIOS: Macmini8,1 \- WhateverGreen + Lilu The problem: When I boot with -igfxvesa (VESA mode, no acceleration) everything works perfectly display, audio, ethernet. The moment I remove -igfxvesa to enable GPU acceleration, the screen goes completely black after OpenCore loads. The system is still running (I can hear audio). What I've already tried: \- AAPL,ig-platform-id: 0x3E9B0000 (display mode, not headless) \- framebuffer-patch-enable: enabled \- framebuffer-con0/con1/con2-enable + framebuffer-con0/con1/con2-type: set to HDMI (0x00000800) \- EDID injection from the monitor \- igfxonln=1 in boot-args \- framebuffer-stolenmem set Question: Does anyone have experience with UHD 630 + passive DP-to-HDMI on Q370 HP machines? Is there a specific connector index I should target, or do I need an active adapter? Any known working help for this hardware would be greatly appreciated! Thanks yall!! :) https://redd.it/1u4mj83 @r_hackintosh
