[Succes] macOS Big Sur OpenCore EFI for Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52-5336

[ru379]

Just now, Bruno Santana said:

I did. I used this repo (https://github.com/nerdynikhil/Acer-Nitro-5-AN515-52-593F-OpenCore-Hackintosh/tree/main/EFI) as base and then changed a few things on the config.plist.
Namely:
SecureBootModel to Disabled

Vault to Optional

I changed a few more things to my liking and updated a few kexts (not all, because some will break it), but these were minor tweaks and you should go from here. If it boots, I can share what else I did / updated with you.

No worries regarding your English, I'm Portuguese. Soy tu hermano.

The changes I did were to make it work with Big Sur.

Also, after you're done installing, you should disable both Gatekeeper and SIP, which is something I did.

I can tell you how, if you are able to boot with Wifi without Heliport.

 

I just reinstalled it again and it's working perfectly.

Thanks for sharing your EFI folder and everything you have told me, I will try it later as I have several things to do right now.

When I try it I'll tell you if everything works.

I tried the EFI folder but it doens't boot, it appears the apple logo and the bar loading mostly full but it restarts seconds after selecting my hard drive with macOS Big Sur. Please can you share your whole EFI folder with all the changes that you have mentined before?

That seems weird.

Are you sure you edited the config.plist or did you just went ahead and used that one as was?

 

Anyway, I can share my work, no worries.

 

I need to drop a link to the uploaded file on my GoogleDrive, because it's too big to upload here.

I've added a password, just to make sure it's not deleted by Google.

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lKfEgnnOvd6T_S1ogjj9BCPlFoHSbf1Y/view?usp=sharing

 

The password (which is also included in the filename itself) is:

12345

 

I should point out that I used the Vanilla Pre-Made Image from Olarila itself and just replaced the EFI folder on the .raw image.

BigSur 11.3

Thaks a lot for all the information that you gave to me, I'll try your EFI and I had the same problem as you when I try to upload files here and I have to use google drive or easy upload don't worry.

I used the pre-made raw image too to install macOS Big Sur too, I think is the best way if you don't have a real mac even if you have one, the pre-made images are very useful, because you don't have to download macOS from apple's slow servers

Ok, no worries.

You're welcome.

Also, I need to point out that I only mentioned what I used so you'd know exactly what I did.
Remember, use the Vanilla pre-made from here and replace the EFI folder from within the .raw image (or convert it to .img, which is what I did).

 

I was merely trying to explain my procedure.

Don't use the EFI that comes inside the .raw BigSur image here.

You need to replace it using whatever tools you prefer.

I used PowerISO.

I converted to img first and then opened the image again with PowerISO and replaced the EFI folder (in the EFI partition of the .img) and saved it.

 

Then flashed to a USB 3.0 flash drive using Balena Etcher.

 

NOTE:

I could have edited the .raw directly, but there is a small bug in PowerISO when it comes to .raw that implies you open the drop-down menu of the partitions and click on the other one before you can edit anything on the EFI partition of the .raw.

And also, you can't delete the EFI folder or the BOOT folder alltogether without first renaming them or PowerISO will crash.

 

So, to avoid doing those workarounds, I converted to .img first and from there I replaced what I wanted.

 

You can also flash the .raw as it is with BalenaEtcher and once it's done, remove and reinsert the USB on your PC and use both MiniTool Partition Wizard and Explorer++ to show your USB EFI partition and move files in and out (with Explorer++).

 

Cheers.

I think there is a confusion, I have already installed macOS Big Sur on my hard drive with the pre-made image, everything works except some problems that I have had and you told me that you have solved like how to use the WiFi without HeliPort or use the touchpad in advanced mode.
Anyway I thank you again for sharing your EFI folder, in fact I am going to test it right now since I have not had time until now.

I just tested your EFI folder and I don't know how you did it but it starts much faster than my EFI folder, thank you very much for sharing it.
PS: The touchpad works in advanced mode and the WiFi works without Heliport thank you very much.

Oh, that's Ok.

I just assumed you were gonna install fresh, which is what I did.

lol

 

 

You're welcome, then.

Enjoy your newly all-functional Hackintosh.

Isso parece estranho.

Tem certeza que editou o config.plist ou foi em frente e usou esse como estava?

 

De qualquer forma, posso compartilhar meu trabalho, sem preocupações.

 

Preciso deixar cair um link para o arquivo carregado no meu GoogleDrive, porque é muito grande para carregar aqui.

Eu adicionei uma senha, apenas para ter certeza de que não é excluída pelo Google.

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lKfEgnnOvd6T_S1ogjj9BCPlFoHSbf1Y/view?usp=sharing

 

A senha (que também está incluída no próprio nome de arquivo) é:

12345

 

Devo salientar que usei a imagem pré-feita de baunilha da própria Olarila e apenas substituí a pasta EFI na imagem .raw.

BigSur 11.3

Talvez isso possa ajudá-lo.

Boa sorte.

It booted, the problem was that I connected the USB to the USB 3.0 port. It was my fault.

In my case, Wi-Fi and touchpad are not working (I will try to fix them) and I didn't check bluetooth because I have to study.

WiFi and Touchpad are fixable by the right Kexts, am I wrong?
