- Default SMBIOS settings of this repo is
MacbookPro15,2. Serial NumberandSmUUIDare erased beforehand, you need to generaete on your own.
- The kexts and SSDT for
i7-8550Uhas put here, by working SMBIOS withMacbookPro15,2. - You have to put
CPUFriend.kext&CPUFrindDataProvider.kextin both/CLOVER/kexts/OtherandLibrary/Extensions, then rebuild cache. - Furthermore, you also have to put
SSDT-CPUF.amlin/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patchedfor working as normal after awake.
- You need to set
No Securityin TB3 BIOS option. - Stop
Cloverwhen it counts down during booting with pressingSpace. - Connect the TB3 cable to XPS.
- Turn on the eGPU.
- Wait for few seconds, and press
Enterto boot macOS.
To do that you need to edit Info.plist in VoodooI2CHID.kext:
- Open the
Info.plistin theVoodooI2CHID.kextwith any Text Editor(I use Atom) - Finding the
QuietTimeAfterTyping - Changing the
valueyou prefer
- Refer to Commands for more customization.
- Use one-key-HiDPI
- Refer to here.
- If you encounter the problem with AppleID which cannot login and logout, this problem happened on both Hackintosh and Macintosh.
- Fix this issue with the follwing commands...
sudo -v
killall -9 accountsd com.apple.iCloudHelper
defaults delete MobileMeAccounts
rm -rf ~/Library/Accounts
killall -9 accountsd com.apple.iCloudHelper
sudo reboot- Open
System Preferences>Sound>Input - Change
Sound InputfromAirpodstoInternal Microphone - Possible explanation:
SinceBCM94360CS2/DW1560/BCM94360NGare running withBluetooth 4.0, which has too low bandwidth to handle both input/output at a high quality.
Therefore, changingSound InputtoInternal Microphoneto ensure audio output is working as normal.
Enter BIOS/Boot Sequence , add new Boot Option with /EFI/CLOVER/tools/DVMT.efi, then run the following commands...
- Overclock, CFG, WDT & XTU enable
setup_var 0x4DE 0x00
setup_var 0x64D 0x01
setup_var 0x64E 0x01- Undervolting values:
setup_var 0x653 0x64 // CPU: -100 mV
setup_var 0x655 0x01 // Negative voltage for 0x653
setup_var 0x85A 0x1E // GPU: -30 mV
setup_var 0x85C 0x01 // Negative voltage for 0x85A- You need an external NVMe reader to carry your new SSD as an external drive.
- Under macOS environment, using
Disk Utilityformat your new SSD asAPFSformat. - Using Carbon Copy Cloner, to clone the whole System Disk to your new drive.
- Before upgrading, remember to backup with
Time Machinethrough external drive. - Create bootable USB drive with the version of macOS you prefer, and replace files under path
/EFIin EFI partition with this repo. - After booting sucessfully, copy the whole repo to you EFI partition. (The commands to mount EFI partition is provided above.)
- If you use
DW1560, follow the guide. - Refer to shell script part, and follow the commands.
- Follow the guide to set your CPUFriend.
- Recovery you data and settings from your backup through
Migration Assistant.
- Copy the OC folder to EFI partition.
- Clear caches of
Clover, and compile your own DSDTs by running the followig commands...
bash /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/trans.sh
bash /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/XPS_OC.sh --compile-dsdt
- Enter
BIOS/Boot SequenceinBIOS, addBoot Entrywith path/EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi - Reboot and enjoy the flight, and feel free to file issues if encounter any problems.
- According to ioregistryExplorer,
Framebuffer@0 (Connector 0)is LVDS (Internal Display). Framebuffer@1 (Connector 1),Framebuffer@2 (Connector 2)are pointing to DisplayPort and HDMI respectively.- Refer to gfxutil, path of iGPU is
DevicePath = PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) - HDMI is working perfectly, video and audio output are both working flawlessly.

- Known info
Digital Audio (HDMI / DVI / DP)
To enable digital audio it is necessary to set the necessary properties and, usually, patch the connectors.
To enable audio in general and HDMI in particular use WEG along with AppleALC.kext.
On 10.10.5 and above, WEG automatically changes the connector-type of DP (00040000) to HDMI (00080000) if no custom patches are used.
The actual connection may be of any type (HDMI / DVI / DP), but for the digital audio to function the connector-type must explicitly be HDMI.
When HDMI plugged in, macOS would recognize as DP (busID: 0x05), not HDMI (busID: 0x04).
- Table of busID and ports are listed below:
| DP | HDMI | DVI |
|---|---|---|
| 0x02 | 0x00 | 0x01 |
| 0x04 | 0x02 | 0x02 |
| 0x05 | 0x04 | 0x04 |
| 0x06 | 0x06 | 0x06 |

- Table of Type and Dev Speed are listed below:
| USB 2 (XHC) | USB 3 (XHC) | Thunderbolt 3 (TBTU) | Dev Speed |

| SS02 | 5 Gbps | ||
| UB21 | 5 Gbps | ||
| UB21 | 5 Gbps |
- When USB3 injected, speed would run as 480Mbps/5Gbps.
- USB2 port: Wireless receiver would run as 12Mbps, other USB2 deivces run as 480Mbps.
- TB3 devices run as 5Gbps.
