HP ENVY 13-ad1xx Opencore MOD EFI

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Fixed issues&Modifications:

Fixed Bluetooth (my Bluetooth card is Broadcom, if you use Intel, you may need to edit the Kexts after installation for Bluetooth to function)
Fixed Trackpad (ONLY DEBUG VERSION WORKS IN SEQUOIA!!!! Switch to the release version of VoodlePS2controller.kext if macOS version is below 15)
Fixed Wifi (itwlm.kext + heliport, keep in mind if you are using a macOS version below Sequoia, it is recommended to switch to airportitwlm.kext)
Added SSDT-XOSI.aml
BOOT MODE IS NOT IN VERBOS (add -v in the bootarg in the config.plist to see logs and debug, delete the -v bootarg after installation, post-install, and fixes)
This EFI is in a custom theme (it may look different from the official OPENCORE MOD unless you change the contents in the Resources folder. Download themes HERE)

Download my EFI HERE

Note: If using itwlm.kext, an additional tool called Heliport is needed. Download It directly HERE

Enjoy!
