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.

@MaLd0n Now I haven't had Mac OS installed yet. I have no idea how to config it via clover configurator. Now I'm stuck in the very first step of installation Mac OS. Is there another way? Or I need to do it ONLY on mac os like do I have to use VMware to do it? Or can I replace clover folder into USB installation? Or can I format HDD to something format before? Please advise. Thank you in advance. Sorry for bothering you so much.

I'm having this problem during Mojave installation, I had not had this problem in previous versions like High Sierra, Sierra ... Can anyone help? The procedure for this section "000003.386698 HS04@14400000: AppleUSBHostPort : : ini tBusCurrent: insufficient power to enable this port" .

I got this problem upon I tried to install mac os on previous installed MacOS HDD. But no problems when I choose install via USB. This is only for me. I'm not really sure. But just would like to share to you.

jzaxjzax, install clover bootloader, replace clover folder

Ah... I can't . Since I stuck at the beginning of High Sierra installation the step next to "Choose language" Disk Utilities can't see all of my SATA disks ,so I can't even install OS into my computer. Even I tried to format HD to GUID on Windows or any formats , my HDD is still not showing in disk utilities ready for erase . It can see only the USB installation disk. Please see picture attached. Thats already show all devices. Setting BIOS seems no problems. I switched from AHCI to IDE to boot Windows. Windows normally booted. All HDDs are online. But in Mac os not working. Can't be seen in utilities. Do I miss something? I never seen people got something like mine. Sad...

I'm still unsuccessful, I've been trying for more than 1 week, I've already used all the USB ports, I've already changed the clover folder to my machine that is a series 7 notebook, kext usbinjectall is present in the colver and still nothing.

redrat76, tenta com as duas opções, em legacy fica bastante tempo nessa tela, mas depois de instalar o clover no HDD/SSD volta ao normal

Maldon

Tentei das duas formas e não rolou. Tentei ainda instalar com a ultima imagem do High Sierra e tb não foi.

Estranho é que eu havia conseguido instalar o High Sierra com uma imagem anterior, se não me engano 10.13.2.

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

Yeah just frustrating. Manage to get the Nvidia dedicated not to show up anymore in the graphics display only to not have the Intel HD4600 not show up correctly. Not sure where I am going wrong with it but it is a pain. I have tried everything, even the Hackintool, which didn't do anything to be honest.

[ref]xandexd98[/ref], u use iusb 2 port?

pirsen · February 21, 2019

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], Hi again, maldon.

I have made the update without problems. Everything is updated and in order. But the download of the update, has stopped 4 times. In the end, it was installed, but I checked my internet connection, and it was stable. Could it be the ethernet network driver? I send you screenshot of my screen. I have to say that the ethernet network works from the first moment in the installation without the need for additional kexts.

MaLd0n · February 21, 2019

[ref]pirsen[/ref], drivers from Mieze is very stable

pirsen · February 21, 2019

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref],

thanks, I've searched, installed, and I'm downloading dirt rally and the download does not stop. This driver works better.

The system is perfect maldon. Ready to start work.

One more thing

How can I hide the text messages that appear on the clover bootloader screen?

MaLd0n · February 21, 2019

[ref]pirsen[/ref], remove -v in ur config.plist, boot tab

redrat76, usa uma versão antiga do clover, as novas versões tem problemas com mobo legacy

Maldon

Só para constar. Depois de tentar efi e legacy e diferentes versões do clover percebi que o meu problema era a memória insuficiente.

Depois de trocar os pentes de memória o Mojave subiu de primeira mas infelizmente como vc havia comentado não há suporte da minha GPU para o Mojave

Vou de High Sierra msm !!!! Valeu pela ajuda !!!

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], Hi In my case which Utilities cant seen HDD. I tried to use my USB external HDD plug in, it suddenly detected my external HDD easily. But my SATA not. It's strange. I have this problem only on intel computer. I have another AMD computer. It's now completely run High sierra already. And that is the same HDD which I used on intel computer. Any idea?
