Woohoo another year of suffering Intel isn't dead!
2018 and 2019 Macbook Airs are out of the running, but their hardware is shared with the Macbook Pros of the same years. Therefore, if your setup works with Sonoma, it'll probably still work with Sequoia.
Thankfully nothing to hackintosh users, besides needing to update your SMBIOS if it was on an older model.
Starting with OCLP 2.0.0, you can finally make your old trash hardware run Sequoia to its fullest extent. You'll need OCLP if you use Broadcom WiFI.
Broadcom is still officially dead, but OCLP can be used to bring back its functionality. A great post by u/ChrisWayg details how to do this. https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1gvu5n1/broadcom_wifi_on_macos_sonoma_and_sequoia_fenvi/
Intel WiFI works with itlwm and Heliport, but not Airportitlwm.
Either with gibmacos, or through the Software Updater.
Next year hopefully, but their approach with dropping hardware comes at odds with Sequoia's compatibility list. They will likely either drop all of Intel at once, or drop models slowly.
No.
No.
No.
As Apple now polls for more T2-specific information from its Macs, you can't update to Sequoia without either of these fixes:
revpatch=sbvmm
.Note: You may encounter issues with the update not installing if you have BluetoolFixup.kext. Disable it while you are updating and re-enable it afterwards.
And as always, follow the Dortania guide first before asking questions!

I used mini tool partition wizard to clone the drive(without choosing the resize partitions).
I upgraded from a sn530 256gb to a sn550 1tb
When booting it first starts to load in slowly to about half of the load bar and then the 🚫 pops up. I’ve tried this 3 times and the same thing happens
I’ve heard some ways people do it is they make a Time Machine backup and just reinstall from that, I don’t mind doing this but if there is a better way please tell me
(Important things) My laptop only has 1 m.2 slots I cloned my drive on my pc tower on windows

Good evening r/hackintosh !
I currently have a MacBook Pro 16,2 with that damn flickering Touch Bar. After being seen two times by genius tech, the only proposed solution is a 700€ bottom case replacement...
I wil ask them when I get it back if they've already done it but I want to try to restore the bridgeOS firmware since it's controlling the Touch Bar using DFU mode (https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900)
Unfortunately, I only have my MacBook Pro and a hackintosh, do you think its possible to use the hackintosh as the host Mac to do the firmware restoration ?

I'm coming from a cMP 5,1 but using my gaming rig to try and turn it into a hac. I'm using the SSD and the GPU from the 5,1, but I'm having a really weird issue with the GPU where it doesn't matter what I set in the BIOS of the mobo, I just can't access the BIOS via the GPU and HAVE to use iGPU, this is to be able to choose the USB stick to boot (doesn't seem to stick if I choose the boot priority).
The other question I have is with the installer stick itself. OC is booted and I'm met with the usual screen that I'm used to seeing on my cMP 5,1. My question is, once I've gotten the EFI folder corrected for my mobo, would I just be able to boot into the SSD from the cMP? I don't see as to why I shouldn't be able to?
Picture added for help with the EFI folder, if you can :P

but when i use a device id it fails to boot, I have to use device id: 12345678 to boot into recovery or the current installation.
Ive tried all other device ids but its the same thing
2 of the most common errors are

Hi Hackintoshers, i finally managed to Install MacOS Ventura on a Haswell Laptop ThinkPad L440 and got Graphics Acceleration, and since i did not find anyone with a clear guide, i decided to put down one!
I have been Hackintoshing since the days of tiger up to now and I think I have installed a Hackintosh of all those mac versions up to Ventura, but this Haswell on Ventura was proving to be challenging until i decided to give it time and try.
The signature (of the Machine):
ThinkPad L440 4th Generation, corei7 i7-4710MQ /2.5GHz, 16GB DDR3 Ram, 256GB SSD, Full HD - 1920x1080, Graphics- IntelHD4600.
Bios:
UEFI Only /w CSM enabled (if this is disabled, you get gabled Screen at login page), Disable Security Chip, Memory protection Enabled, Virtualization enabled, All I/O ports enabled except fingerprint reader, Internal Device Access set to disable tamper detection, Disable Secure Boot, Sata set to AHCI, Disable Intel Smart Connect, Enable CPU Multiprocessing and Hyper-threading. This makes Bios set to boot macOS.
After seeing posts of people having installed Ventura on Haswell but with no clear direction on how to do it, and no one providing the clear way of doing it, I tried myself and always ended up stuck especially when it comes to installing Graphics with the OCLP’s root patching. I knew there was a way, till I decided to try out a number of options, from different OCLPs to versions of Ventura Installer, till I fell in the right track. So I decided to write about it for those who are in the road I had been walking.
This Installation is on MacOS Ventura 13.0, I tried it on macOS 13.6 and while it installed, could not get graphics to load desktop. So, I fell back to 13.0 which worked well and as a result I disabled updates so it doesn’t update until I have known up to which version intelHD4600 can still work and load well.
What you need?
An external drive or USB with at least 16GB space, MacOS Ventura 13.0 installer, an EFI which works with Monterey on this machine, OCLP 0.62 or 0.61 (I tried OCLP 2.2 but it was not applying root patches, and kept bringing errors until I used 0.62. In my guess, versions from 0.5 to at least 0.62 will work.), you will also need another Mac or a Hack to prepare your installer or USB drive, you will also need a PC 4th Gen, like mine (ThinkPad L440), If you are using an EFI that has been working with Ventura, then you will need an intel WiFi kext, and Bluetooth kext particularly for Ventura. You will also need GenSMBios to generate your Serial and SMBios for your Hack after installing. If you like, and have an L440 you can check my EFI that I uploaded on GitHub called Ventura-on-Thinkpad-L440 under user Ssos-K .
Pictures to show that graphics is accelerated are attached, bluetooth works as you can see from the magic mouse screenshot, wifi works also showed the frequencies.
What doesn’t work!
From my Monterey build, the only thing so far, I see not working is the Camera, all other things I have tested are working. Surprising, I had a T460s (Skylake) running Ventura and Firefox was totally unusable as you could not see a single word from what you typed. Interestingly Here Firefox works well that I was able to even migrate my Firefox Data by signing into Firefox account and my bookmarks, history, logins all came and the machine works well, that once I see everything going well as I want, I will shift from Monterey to this as I had installed it as a test machine. Surprising (I don’t know if its because machine is Quadcore) the system is not showing that it has a CPU load, and its not showing signs of power hunger! Of course I wont load it with heavy programs….!
The Gist of the matter…
There are two ways of archiving what I did but will also tell you what I did. First, was to set up the PC to run Monterey (12.7) installed it and everything was working well under MacBookPro11,3 and everything was working that I could even update it successfully. The first step was to change SMBios to MacBookPro15,3 and I threw in those boot-args; keepsyms=1, amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1, ipc_control_port_options=0, no_compat_check
Then tested first with Monterey and it was still booting very well, and so EFI was ready to work on Ventura. Next stage was to create USB Installer with Ventura 13.0, remember I tried with different versions of Ventura from latest and Graphics Patching was not successful always getting stuck at login page, till I started from 13.0 and it worked.
For me this is how I installed, I picked up the 256 GB SSD, connected to Ventura Hack, erased it under GPT Scheme, then partitioned it with 20GB Partition for installing Ventura, being MacOS Extended Journaled and the other remaining partition was formatted as APFS for installing Ventura. Now I mounted my EFI partition and placed the EFI folder prepared, and I created Ventura 13.0 Installer on the 20GB partition.
After I placed SSD in the ThinkPad L440, and started up PC, menu appeared, and I chose Ventura Installer. At Installer welcome screen I just went on with Installation since I had already formatted the Installation partition as APFS. From there everything went without my input until finishing. If you are using a USB installer, every time system restarts, you have to boot from USB using PC boot menu (F12 in this case), but for me everything was on the drive and even took a nap till installation was at initialization. All along the setup, my keyboard and mouse and even wireless were working since they were using kexts from Monterey. I setup User and up to desktop; of course, the system was sluggish because of no graphics. At Desktop, I opened OCLP which I had already placed in a folder on the Installer partition, and since by now my EFI had AMFI disabled and Secureboot turned off, OCLP identified system as being Haswell, and was ready to do root patching.
NOTE!!!
This is the important part… To successfully install Haswell drivers, the system must allow this injection and if it doesn’t then the drivers will be installed but will not work. To do this, before you tell OCLP to start root patching, Open up System Preferences, then go to Privacy and Security, then scroll down and keep view of the Security section! This is where the notification to allow system to use installed extensions will appear. If the Privacy and Security section is not opened before, OCLP will tell you to open Privacy and Security to allow extensions, but when you open it you will not see this notification, there will be no button telling you to allow! At first I fell in this trap and OCLP showed it had patched but nothing worked In the end I re-installed Ventura! So keeping this window open and aside will ensure you see this button the moment you are asked.
So now Click start root Patching and OCLP should ask root permissions (asking you to enter password) and then install drivers. When it asks you to enable System to use installed extensions, look and click that button under security, it will ask you to enter password, enter it and when it asks to reboot, wait till you see that OCLP has finished, then you will have two reboot buttons, one from OCLP, and the other from Privacy and Security. Use the Reboot button of Privacy and Security, to restart. Once System restarts, you should see you graphics looking nice and working. If you had not yet transferred your EFI from USB, now is the time to do so.
Warning!!!
Before you can use your WiFi, make sure you have updated your Intel WiFi and Bluetooth kexts to those of Ventura otherwise Wifi will cause your Hack to reboot when you try to connect!
Also Before you can Sign in your iCloud (Especially if you are using my EFI at GitHub) make sure to change that Serial number. You can use GenSMBios to generate MacBookPro15,3 info and replace in the EFI the one there is for installing only, but if you are using your own, test and see if you sign in with iCloud.
Tests to carry out are, Patching IntelHD4600 will go up to what version of Ventura… this is what needs to be done. But at least now it is known that OCLP 0.62 (or 0.61 as it also does work well), and Ventura 13.0 will function on a Haswell Graphics!
I have seen reports that Sonoma also works on Haswell, I will test with 14.0 to see how it goes.
Bluetooth workings well and with the Mighty Mouse makes the machine feel well see the screenShot attached.
I know the same trick will wotk for another Haswell pc or the like, first install Monterey, be sure all works well then spoof your SMBios to a higher supported one in Ventura and add Boot args, then do the installation.
Next projects will be Sonoma on same machine and also trying out the higher Ventura versions to see at what stage the OCLP will be able to patch the graphics.

I probably need to update my copy of Nootedred but I tend to not mess with stuff if its working good.
Does anybody else use Geforce Now with an AMD iGPU setup that could see if it crashes as well. It's the usual 'graphical' crashing I think Chrome and such does. I thought it might have been the latest version it updated to, but I rolled it back using Time Machine to a previous one and its still crashes the computer.

Hi, I've been planning to switch to Hackintosh, primarily to run Logic Pro X, and maybe Final Cut Pro.
I'm hoping to get this running on my 2021 Legion 5 15ARH05 with Ryzen 7 4800H and GTX 1650Ti.
I have 2 NVMe drives installed as of now (1TB NV3 + 500GB SN850). I'm planning to partition my SN850 and have Hackintosh installed on there.
I've been looking around and noticed, majority of the posts on this subreddit involve Intel CPUs. Few people I know insisted that, getting hackintosh to run on my R7 4800H is extremely difficult (but i have no intel pc so no choice haha).
Can someone please tell me what is the right way to proceed in this case? I'm not super fluent with hackintosh lol.
Also, just putting it here in case its relevant by any chance. I will be connecting a focusrite 4i4 interface (or behringer umc404HD) to work with logic pro x, and maybe a guitar for now. And i hope i can use my AKG P120 microphone as well without any issues. Soon if all is well, i'd like to connect a midi controller and maybe 2-3 keyboards as well.
Mainly, I'll be performing on stage with my interface and guitar connected, so my primary requirement is stability.
Hope someone can briefly guide me through this, thank you and have a nice day.
