macOS on All Computers

Hello to everyone. This repo contains the image and global EFI needed to install macOS on your compatible computer. Today, I present to all of you the solidified OpenCore Bootloader and the OSX images I have prepared. If you report the problems you encounter as feedback, I can fix my problems. Since there is no EFI in the image yet, I will update it externally with the image every month. What you need to do is to throw the EFI folder into the EFI partition created after writing the image to your USB memory. I wish everyone a smooth hackintosh. See you in healthy days..

Not every system has the same BIOS settings. Apply whatever settings are available.

Editing EFI

NOTE: If you have LEGACY BIOS. Try to boot already without touching the default "boot" file that comes in the EFI partition. If you can't boot, come back and change the name of the "boot" file to "boot-default". Change the name of the "boox64 or bootx32" file to "boot" according to the architecture of your processor. it does not matter. If you still can't boot, try the "boot6", "boot7" and "boot9" files.

• After making the BIOS settings, let's choose USB from the boot menu of our computer and continue.

• The OpenCore screen will come up, let's choose Install macOS High Sierra (whatever yours is) and continue.

• Texts will start to flow on the screen, this is verbose mode. Here, the processes that occur while your computer is booting are displayed as text.

• If, after waiting for a while, the texts don't stop, if they stay normal, you're out of luck 😊. If the texts do not stop, you will see the Apple logo and then the macOS loading screen. We have no problems so far. Now it's time to install our Network/Ethernet card, which is our important hardware after installation.

• Press the Apple logo in the top left and turn off the computer. Open Windows.

  • Network or ethernet cards possible models:
    • Intel Wi-Fi
    • Intel Ethernet
    • Realtek Ethernet
      • RTL8111
      • RTL810x
      • RTL8125
    • Broadcom Wi-Fi
    • Atheros Wi-Fi

• Let's download the kext we need and put it in EFI/OC/Kexts. Next is to show this kext to the config. We will do this with notepad/notepad++. Let our example kext be AirportBrcmFixUp.kext , which is required for Broadcom WiFi.

• Right click on our config.plist file and open it with notepad/notepad++. Let's search the Kernel with the Ctrl+F combination. The result will be:

  • 

• Now come to the bottom of the Add section and let's show our kext. For that, follow this video:

  • Show kext to config

macOS Installation Steps

• Now let's turn off our computer and boot from USB. Choose the Install macOS High Sierra (whatever you have) option and go to the installation screen.
• If you are going to install macOS next to windows, create a partition with the video guide below. (This operation can only be performed on OSX to Mojave.)
  • ATTENTION: You can install next to the Windows only with images that support MBR HFS+. Mojave and below macOS versions support MBR.
    • Splitting the disk in HFS+ format
    • After doing this, you can select your disk directly on the installation screen and start the installation.
• What to do on the following screens:
  • 
  • Let's continue and check if the Wi-Fi or LAN we installed worked.
  • 
  • There is nothing wrong. Now open Utilities/Disk Utility from the top to prepare our disk. Follow the steps in the image below.
  • 
  • Select Show All Devices from the Display option and select the name of our disk and click Erase.
  • 
  • 
  • If you are going to install a version of High Sierra and above, format it as APFS/GUID, if you are going to install a version of Sierra and below, format it as MacOS Extended Journaled/GUID.
  • After erasing is complete, close disk utility and select our disk and resume.
  • 
  • 
  • 
  • When the installation is finished, choose the name of our disk from OpenCore if we installed Mojave and below versions, choose macOS Installer if we installed Catalina and above versions. Keep selecting until this option is gone.
  • After the installation steps are over, the language selection screen will welcome us:
  • 
  • Complete the installation without connecting to the internet. Because we need to set our serial numbers and ROM for iCloud and iMessage.
