hackintosh-hp-z420-macos-high-sierra-10.13-10.14's Introduction

May 31, 2019. Updated to 10.14.5 without any problem. I used the same kexts. However there are two important notes:

  1. Update to the latest CLOVER: Clover_v2.4k_r4934
  2. Copy the efi drivers at https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleSupportPkg/releases to the directories EFI/CLOVER/Drivers64UEFI and EFI/CLOVER/Drivers64

June 29, 2018: @Andreas Henriksson fixed USB 3.0 problem in a comment here.

Updated my macOS to 10.13.5 using App store without any problem.

Note: I recently updated my PC to 10.13.2, I put my EFI/CLOVER directory for macOS 10.13.2 in 10.13.2 directory. Have fun!

As @Tomygames suggested at here. You need to "[a]ctivate Legacy ACPI CPU Tables in BIOS".

Some detailed instructions to install macOS provided by @spellbound can be found here.

How to install MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 on HP Z420 Workstation.

Overall, we will use Unibeast to create a USB Installer.

From my Mac OS X 10.10 or 10.11, download macOS Sierra Installer (go to App Store to download).

Then, we use the recent Unibeast (UniBeast 7.0.1) to create a bootable USB. However, we have to use kexts from CustoMac Essential package and put these kexts to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory (mount your EFI partition first!)

Here the Tricks

Note: I put my /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER directory and all kexts we need in the repo.

  • Install the latest CLOVER (e.g., v2k4)

  • We have to use flag npci=0x2000 all the time. (I also use dart=1)

  • Z420 crashes randomly when booting, we can fix that with flag cpus=1. However, this makes our PC slow (only 1 CPU!!), therefore, we fix this problem by installing VoodooTSCSync.kext at /System/Library/Extensions . Remember to fix permission. E.g.

    chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/* && chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/* && kextcache -system-caches.

  • We got problem with USB ports (therefore, cannot install from USB). We fix it by:

    • First, Use Clover Configurator V4.39.1 app to mount EFI and patch ACPI (Look at "List of Patches" in Acpi menu and apply All Of Them)
    • Install USBInjectAll.kext to inject all USB ports!
  • HP Z420 crashes with many versions of FakeSMC and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, so please use those in the repo!!!

  • At first, when we don't have Nvidia WEB drivers, we need to disable NVidia kext by flag nv_disable=1. We later can install latest Nvidia Web driver for 10.12.3 (https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/367/WebDriver-367.15.10.35f01.pkg), and we will not need that flag anymore.

  • Use SMBios of Mac Pro 5.1.

  • The system cannot wake up after going sleep. We should set Computer Sleep to Never in System Preferences -> Energy Saver.

hackintosh-hp-z420-macos-high-sierra-10.13-10.14's Issues

BIOS

can you give me the BIOS config, i am trying but it doesn't work :(

any updates on known issues?

Hello Z420 user, I am also interested in installing the MacOS-Sierra on my PC.

  • z420 motherboard
  • xeon e5 2670
  • geforce gtx750ti

What is your hardware config?
Are you still using the Hackintosh and do you recommend installing it on Z420?

BIOS Settings

Would it be possible to export the BIOS settings from the z420 to assist in a speedy start?

Unable to get to the installer using provided files

First, I would like to thank you for making a guide for the z420.

I have a working Sierra system, which I used to make a bootable USB (UEFI enabled, injected nvidia drivers, high sierra, etc).

Then, I copied the files from the repo (AppleIntelE1000.kext, FakeSMC.kext, NullCPUPower.kext, USBInjectAll.kext, VoodooHDA.kext, VoodooTSCSync.kext) to /Volumes/[usb install media]/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/, and edited config.plist according to the guide (Disable nvidia driver, mark all acpi patches, select MacPro5,1). No success, as soon as the progress bar starts loading the pc will reboot. Verbose output doesn't seem to show any problems - the last line is just a plain "Attempting system restart" with some lines of @ksc.[...] before that.

Also had no success if I replace the CLOVER folder with the one in your repo (yes, I disabled nvidia drivers and set SMBIOS to MacPro5,1). Same thing happens, computer reboots when the bar starts loading, and even verbose output is the same. There was an issue where you said that replacing the clover folder would do the trick, but it doesn't in my case.

I don't think my setup is different from yours (Intel E5-1650, Nvidia Quadro 4000). By the way, I already selected AHCI mode in BIOS and disabled VT-x.
Help me please :(

Anyone tried Catalina

As the topic suggest?

Also have you all patched your own DSDT's or somehow used the ones provided?

Drag n' Drop?

Is this as easy as dragging your clover folder, replacing what I have -- after creating the installer with UniBeast?

Or is it actually required to perform your step-by-step process?

macOS Mojave

Whos planning to upgrade to macOS Mojave with HPZ420 ?

Anyone did that already?

Thanks

Issues with installation

Thanks for the resources. I was having a few issues and was wondering if you could help.

I have a Z420 with E5-1650 cpu and a gtx 1060. I am trying to put macos Sierra and having issues. I used unibeast 7.0.1 (I found an older version so it would be the same as your first guide). I then copy your clover folder (not the 10.13 one, the original one). I boot from the drive on the Z420 and select the macos option. I then get the following screen (attached). It thinks for a few seconds and then immediately reboots. I cannot get it to the apple screen.

I haven't tried High Sierra because on my current other hackintosh when I try downloading it, I only get a 20mb patch installer and not the full OS. I for the life of me cannot get my app store to download the whole macos high sierra.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
