// Not Working:

WiFi
Bluetooth

Before starting
// Notes:

I’m not a experienced hackintosh-er. I assume the SSDT’s, DSDT’s and config files can be done better, but it all works very stable. If you
have any suggestion or adjustments please contact me. I would be glad to change and test it out.

// Tips:

Use a USB mouse at the catalina installer. Your trackpad will be very slow. It is solved in the post-installation.
Boot the installation of macOS in Verbose mode. The loading bar will sometimes not move but in verbose you will see all progress. Do this
by pressing the space bar in Clover on you macOS Installation and select Verbose.
If you don’t have another drive to boot (for example Windows) you can setup Clover Configurator so it doesn’t show the selection screen.
For that go to Boot option in Clover Configurator and select “Fast”.

Pre-installation
// BIOS Settings:

1. Update your BIOS to the latest version

2. Open your BIOS settings with F10
3. Restore your BIOS defaults
4. Check the following settings:

Boot settings - Custom Logo (Optional for Apple logo at boot)

Boot settings - Disable fast boot
Boot settings - Boot mode - UEFI hybrid (with CSM)
Boot settings - Disable Secure boot (disabled if greyed out)
Device configuration - Disable Wake on USB
Built-in Device Options - Disable LAN/WLAN switching
Built-in Device Options - Wake on LAN - Disable
Port Options - Disable serial port
Port Options - Disable 1394 port

// Making a USB installation:

1. Install Python and don’t forget to select “Add python to path” in the installer
2. Open GibMacOS (gibmacos.bat) as administrator
3. Select recovery mode with “R”
4. Select the option for Catalina with “full install” in the note
5. GibMacOS will create some folders, open them until you see a .pkg file
6. Copy the path of the PKG file
7. Insert your USB Stick at a usb port on your motherboard

In this case it are the USB ports under your power button.

8. Open GibMacOS (makeinstall.bat) as administrator

9. Select your USB drive with the corresponding number
10. If the installer ask for your recovery path paste it here (pkg of step 6)

This can take up to 15 minutes

// Preparing the USB drive:

1. Delete all files in the following folders on your USB drive

/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi
/EFI/CLOVER/drivers/BIOS
/EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI

2. Delete the CLOVERX64.efi and config.plist in your /EFI/CLOVER folder

3. Open Clover pre-installation folder
4. Copy /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI to the /EFI/CLOVER/ folder on your USB drive
5. Copy all files from the following folders in the pre-installation folder to your USB drive

6. And finally copy CLOVERX64.EFI, config.plist and drivers64UEFI to the clover folder on your USB drive.
