MacOS (Currently Catalina 10.15.6) working on ThinkPad X230

  • Added Support for Apple File System (APFS), It is also possible to Install macOS Mojave without converting to APFS, still, you can use Mac OS X Extended File System. Removed Post-Installation Optimizations, they are not necessary now. Removed ATA/PATA Support, These are completely unnecessary in modern computers with UEFI BIOS.

Post-install

Generate your own SMBIOS

For setting up the SMBIOS info, use GenSMBIOS

  • Run GenSMBIOS, pick option 1 for downloading MacSerial and Option 3 for selecting out SMBIOS

    • MacBookPro10,2
  • Open Config.plist, find PlatformInfo >> Generic

    • The Serial part gets copied to SystemSerialNumber.

    • The Board Serial part gets copied to MLB.

    • The SmUUID part gets copied to SystemUUID.

Reminder that you want either an invalid serial or valid serial numbers but those not in use, you want to get a message back like: 'Invalid Serial' or 'Purchase Date not Validated'Apple Check Coverage

CPU power management

Recommended additional steps to improve battery life with optimized CPU power management:

  • Open Terminal, copy and paste the following command:

  • A customized SSDT.aml for your specific machine will now be in the directory /Users/yourusername/Library/ssdtPRGen

  • Rename to SSDT-PM.aml , and copy to EFI/OC/ACPI/

  • Open Config.plist, enable ACPI>>Add>>SSDT-PM.aml

  • Reboot

USB ports map

If you are using different model and alternative kext from Other folder does not work for you. Try:

Fully functioning multimedia Fn keys
  • Download and install ThinkpadAssistant
  • Open the app and check the launch on login option
Use PrtSc key as Screenshot shortcut
  • Go under SystemPreferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Screenshots
  • Click on Screenshot and recording options key map
  • Press PrtSc on your keyboard (it should came out as F13)
Mac bootloader GUI
  • Download Binary Resources and OpenCanopy.efi
  • Copy the Resources folder to EFI/OC
  • Add OpenCanopy.efi to EFI/OC/Drivers
  • Make these changes inside config.plist:
    • Misc >> Boot >> PickerMode: External
    • Misc >> Boot >> PickerAttributes:1
    • UEFI >> Drivers and add OpenCanopy.efi

Hello Hackintosh lovers. If you are new to Hackintosh, you may wonder if you could get or download the EFI folder that works on your specific build. Well, there are many people out there that willing to share their EFI folder. On this page, you will find many EFI folder for different motherboards. Personally, I would recommend you try to build your own EFI for your specific hardware. But, you can also use the EFI below as your starting point. And then you can fine-tune it to match your needs.

Before we go through it, please spend some time to read and learn the official OpenCore guide below. It is essential for you to understand how Hackintosh and OpenCore works. For some motherboard/build, you may find multiple EFI download links. Don’t worry, you can try them and see which one works the best for you.

OpenCore Hackintosh EFI Download

These are the basic EFIs that should be bootable for the following hardware. But some other features are may or may not working and you will need to do some post-install configurations. It would be great if you can post your experience after using these EFIs in the comment section.

Before you download the EFI, please make sure that you already created the macOS USB Installer. You can then simply copy the EFI to the USB drive and boot your PC to install macOS. It is also important to make sure that your hardware meets the Hackintosh requirements. Especially the graphic card. All these builds are believed to work with the most recent AMD Radeon cards including but not limited to AMD Radeon RX480, RX470, RX5500, AMD Radeon VEGA.

*Note: If not mentioned, each EFI supports macOS Mojave, Catalina and macOS Big Sur.

What to do Next?

After you download the EFI, you will still need to generate the SMBIOS for your build. The SMBIOS such as serial number etc should be unique for each device. So, follow the following guide to generate the SMBIOS and apply it to the EFI.
