Surface Laptop 3 (intel)
I got my hands on a second hand SL3 in mint condition (such a sexy little bitch) and could not withstand the urge to hackintosh it. So after extensive googling and reading up on fixes and features, I now have a fully working (minus one small glitch) Sonoma.
Downgrading the UEFI firmware was a PITA, but I finally succeeded after 2 days of failed attempts. The downgrade was a requirement to get hibernatemode 25 (deep sleep) to work. The glitch is that after waking up, I need to close and open the lid once more. I can live with that.
Heliport was also key to have fully functional wifi (itlwm)
Here is the github instructions that made it possible, and the UEFI firmware instructions

HP EliteDesk 800 G5 DM, trying to install Sonoma, receive "EB|LOG:EXITBS:START"
RANT #ON
I posted this on Tonymacx86 and when checking if I had any replies I found out my post was deleted.
Without anyone telling me why or kindly asking me to change something that violated their rules.
I guess it's because of the pastebin-links but I didn't want to clutter the post with gigantic pastes and I thought it was unnecessary to upload the logs / plist etc. as actual files.
Had problems registering as well, previously they told me my IP was blacklisted for "malicious traffic" (I'm not on a VPN and my IP-reputation is good). I had a conversation back and forth with some admin who was totally unhelpful. Tried registering a couple of days ago and it worked, guess my IP wasn't "malicious" anymore.
I must say their forum / mods must be the most small minded and petty forum around.
What a bunch of jokers.
RANT #OFF.

Hello,
Been trying to get my "HP EliteDesk 800 G5 DM (Desktop Mini)" to become a hackintosh running Sonoma.
Followed dortania's OpenCore guide here and downloaded what I believe to be the necessary KEXTs, generated SSDTs through "SSDTTime", mapped my USB-ports through "USBToolBox" and made the changes to "config.plist" according to the guides section about "Desktop" > "Coffee Lake" here.
My monitor is connected through the HP Flex IO Displayport-card on the PC (PC: Displayport > Monitor: HDMI) so a Displayport to HDMI-cable.
I see a lot of verbose output after selecting "Space" > Selecting the Sonoma DMG > [ENTER\] but after quite a while (\~10min?) the monitor goes dark and I have to force a shut-down.
The last row in the log saved on my Sonoma / OpenCore USB reads the following:
Code:52:666 00:029 AAPL: #[EB.LD.OFS|OPEN!] Err(0xE) <"usr\\standalone\\OS.dmg.root_hash">52:682 00:015 AAPL: #[EB.RH.LRH|P!] Err(0xE) <- EB.LD.LF52:705 00:022 AAPL: #[EB.BST.FBS|!] Err(0xE) <- EB.RH.LRH52:727 00:021 OCSMC: SmcReadValue Key 4D535463 Size 152:748 00:021 OCSMC: SmcReadValue Key 4D534163 Size 252:771 00:022 AAPL: #[EB|LOG:DT] 2024-04-17T23:24:2652:793 00:022 AAPL: #[EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] 2024-04-17T23:24:26
I am following dortania's guide about "Kernel Issues" and "Stuck on [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START\]" here but wanted to post this here while I troubleshoot if someone sees anything I've configured incorrectly.
Thanks in advance - InfiniteBSOD

Crashes and Hangs. 7600X,B650,6950XT
I keep getting weird crashes and hangs with my Hackintosh build.
Sometimes everything is ok for several hours but suddenly i get WindowServer crash (goes back to login screen), sometimes it just hangs and i need reboot my hackintosh using reset button.
Sometimes it hangs in screensaver and sometimes it hangs exiting screen saver and sometimes it works perfectly fine.
Sometimes crashes on launching 3d application and sometimes not, when this happens system have been up for several hours.
Seems process that crashed WindowServer last time was :
IOHIDService(0x7f9a46308ba0) id:0x1000005ce name:AppleUserHIDEventDriver
What I do have is 3 screens attached to the graphics card, this is different from many users that use only 1 or 2 screens.

Only disabling NVRAM protection within SIP?
I need to write to the BootNext NVRAM variable, but this is not possible (even with sudo) when SIP is activated.
However I would also like to avoid having to completely turn off SIP.
Is there a way to disable SIP only in the perimeter of this NVRAM variable, while keeping the rest activated? I would like to avoid all the problems deriving from disabling SIP all together.
I'm using OpenCore, and I know there is a way of only disabling certain parts of SIP but as I have never done it, I would like to know beforehand.

Battery is Being Charged Not Detected
I have macOS Sonoma on my ASUS laptop TP412FAC, using Intel Core i5 - 10210U.
At first, my battery level is not detected, even using configuration ECEnabler.kext, VirtualSMC.kext, and SMCBatteryManager.kext. But finally by replacing SMCBatteryManager with ACPIBatteryManager, my battery level now detected.
But the problem is, when my laptop is charging, the charger is not detected. It’s just normal battery icon, not the thunder one.
How can I solve this problem? Thank you!

PARTIAL SUCCESS First hackintosh running, appleid not working, mic and sound not working, and opencore problems.
Hiya. This would be my first complete hackintosh, and i used OpCore-Simplify. I tried multiple times creating my own, but it just would never work, even using someone with the exact same specs down to the wifi card it wouldn't give me display out after verbose.
Someone suggested using this, and I know it isn't widely supported here, but I need some insight.
Dell Inspiron 7537 running MacOS 12.7.4, i7 4500u, 12gb ram, hd4400 (gt750m disabled.)
(GA WORKING!)
First and foremost my biggest problem. With this laptop, there was no CSM setting. You had to change to legacy boot mode. Unfortunately, booting to hard drive through legacy doesn't find ANY efi. You need the boot usb for opencore access. I've tried setting opencore.efi as default through Bootice, and the only thing that did is make my Windows Boot Manager disappear from my UEFI boot list. Very confusing.
Apple ID does not work. Originally when setting up, it would give me "Your account could not be updated due to an error," then now giving me the same error. I double checked the Serial number, and it was fine. Should have worked.
the error now \(same thing on boot.\)
Siri will probably start working with apple id, but my mic and speaker don't function so whats the point. Is there a way to restore functionality to them? USB ports are mapped, all of them worked if that was going to be the problem.
Thank you for any help or suggestions! lmk if EFI/config is needed.

Running OpenRGB on a Hackintosh?
Hi I'm using a Hackintosh that I did not build nor do I know how to. But I can't get to mess around with the RGBs on the fans and the RAM. So I thought I'll give OpenRGB a try until I read some posts where it said OpenRGB bricked their RAM. I can't afford to brick even a brick at the moment let alone my RAM. So can someone tell me if it's safe?
