Install MacOS with Vanilla Olarila Image, Step by Step

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.

Hi, first of all thank you for this post and tutorials.

i've donwloded the macOs raw file and followed the instruction. but in the booting mac os for installing(for the first time) i got error and a STOP sign.

this is the log and the stop sign:

logs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qKAtImAN0UAf_TiIGNCB_5-nWBv3rEIT/view?usp=sharing

error sign: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1loLJiLv1eHAnX0CfCwLn3sjL9tc8iqxT/view?usp=sharing

i am using a Lenovo E540 core i5 laptop. (i used the config2.plist as you said).

my current hardware is:

CPU: Intel core i5-4300M 2.6GHz

Display Adaptor: Intel HD Grapics 4600 - Nvidia GeForce 820M

I installed High Sierra before. the only problem with that was my Intel 4600 Graphic.

and the funny thing is, first i wanted to install high sierra (hackintosh zone version) on my laptop, some how it failed. in that moment i already had another USB thumbnail with your Mojave build ready. when high sierra fails to install some how the boot loader that it used was still in my boot menu when i tried to boot to windows(even when the high sierra thumbnail was removed). i tried to install Mojave through high sierra boot loader and it INSTALLED! mojave booted up and worked just fine(except my USB ports didn't worked).

so I've installed this and i know its working on my laptop. but i cant get it installed this time(i removed Mojave yesterday by accident!).

can you help me?

Boa tarde!

Sou totalmente novo nessa area de hackintosh e to passando sufoco. Tentei instalar o Mojave e deu incompatibilidade de hardware no meio da instalação. Sera que cometi algum erro no processo ou minha maquina é realmente incompatível no momento devido a GPU Nvidia?

Caso incompatível, qual versão você recomendaria? High Sierra?

(Criei o pen pelo windows, não tenho acesso a nenhum MacOS)

Asus Sabertooth Z77

Core i7 3770k

EVGA GTX 770

2x4gb G.Skill Ripjaxs X 1600mhz DDR3

2x4gb G.Skill Trident X 2400mhz DDR3

SSD Sandisk 128gb

HD Seagate 1tb

HD Samsung 160gb

[ref]gustavodrumm[/ref], you need high sierra nvidia not good for mojave

make sure some bios are set correctly

Load Optimized Defaults

If your CPU supports VT-d, disable it

If your system has CFG-Lock, disable it

If your system has Secure Boot Mode, disable it

Set OS Type to Other OS

If your system has IO SerialPort, disable it

Set XHCI Handoff to Enabled

First of all, It will works on my custom PC?

System hardware:

i7-7700K

B250M MORTAR Motherboard (MS 7A69)

Sapphire Radeon RX 480 NITRO

I tried before with unishit app, creating the USB from a MacBook to an 16GB USB but didn't work me . When I boot from the USB it show me a black screen telling me to select an bootloader.

PD: I'm new in this.

Help Pleaaase.

Thanks, but I still can not get to the installer... I tried with mojave and now with sierra, here the error log

Any idea?

tomorrow I'm going to buy a 16GB pen drive and try with the high sierra...

Giving up on my laptop for now. I have tried every configuration with the Olarila images with no luck on getting the HD4600 to read other than 7mb. Matter of fact I cannot even get the Olarila image to install at all with any configuration of my bios or options with the image. Only way I can even get Mojave, or any MacOS on my laptop is with another image from another site. I have spent a lot of time on my vacation last week messing with this thing. Just about ready to pull my hair out. Even Hackintool doesn't do me any good at all.

I even ordered another wifi card to use since mine is Intel and won't do anything. So will have laptop with HD4600 graphics at 7mb and a working wifi card. lol.

MaLd0n · February 19, 2019

[ref]cm0270[/ref], is just for install, if other image woprk, just use it, the problem is after install, fine tunning

MarceloMustaine · February 19, 2019

ele é agnóstico [ref]MaLd0n[/ref], funciona em qualquer SO... quanto mais fácil a gente puder adentrar ao mundo macOS melhor
