This is the simplest barebones macOS Sierra 10.12 feasibility test for UEFI x64 Skylake Architectures (possibly others too).

 

The purpose of this tutorial is to give you a starting point for fiddling with your installation in order to make it work on your to-be Hackintosh computer. It's much easier to tweak an external USB or HDD on your real Mac, rather than failing your Hackintosh's internal HDD installation every time you try something new.

 

A) Download macOS Sierra from the App Store on your Mac.

B)  Insert a Flash Disk or an External HDD with at least 16GB on one of your Mac's USB ports.

C) Run Install macOS Sierra.app from Applications folder, and perform the installation on your USB disk.

D) After some time you will reach the Language Selection screen. Now, shutdown your Mac.

E) Boot once more to your original Mac's desktop.

F) Download the latest Clover from this link, and perform the installation on your USB disk.

G) After the installation, you will find your EFI partition mounted. Navigate to EFI/CLOVER.

H) Place FakeSMC.kext to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12, and overwrite config.plist with the one from this guide.

I) Unmount your USB disk and insert it on your Hackintosh.

J) Perform a Load UEFI Defaults on your BIOS and from the Boot Menu select your UEFI: USB disk.

K) If all goes well you will be welcomed to your new Hackintosh. On a different occasion post your output and someone might be able to help you.

Hello and thank you for the guide.

 

I tried following the guide and i just get this:

 

OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for \. IABootFiles\boot.efi

Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

I am trying to install on a Lenovo Ideapad 310-15isk model sm80. with an i3-6100.

 

I have tried a lot of different things, including a lot of tonymac stuff, but i either get no boot at all, or the error also mentioned here.

 

among other stuff the AptioFix instead of Aptio2.

 

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

I would like to help you, could you please post your EFI folder here? In the meantime I will look at your laptop's specs.

 

EDIT: On a second thought, can you move FakeSMC.kext from /10.11/ folder to /Other/ on your EFI volume? I just updated the guide.

Thank you for your answer.

 

I moved the FakeSMC.kext to the other folder as suggested. i got the same behaviour. I also tried deleting the 10.6 - 10.11 folders so the only folder left is the other. ( i have no idea why this is done, but i have seen it suggested in a lot of threads)

I have attached my efi as zip. But it is just a copy of the one from your guide, since the original guide said to just copy everything.

 

BTW: i also tried to boot with the kext-dev-mode=1 foot param in all setup, with no result.

OK, it all comes down to one question. Is there a HDD installed (also formatted) on your PC, apart from the USB of course?

There is a kingston 64 gb ssd in. Formatted or not it is the same behavior. 

That's too bad, try to create an installer by using the method described on my other guide. Maybe you will be more lucky by starting with a macOS Installer, instead of the method described above.

Hackie and Instalie :D

 

Anyway, got the same result. Apple logo and reboot. put the -v on as boot arg and it was the same error. 

 

This guide has a lot of similarities to a lot of other guide i've tried through the weekend.And I alway end up with: 

 

OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for \. IABootFiles\boot.efi

Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

I am starting to think my bios perhaps is the problem. There are not a lot of options. :-/

Look, it's not hard to get an answer in these forums. So post a new thread on "macOS Sierra Installation" forum, and I am quite sure that someone will provide the answer for you! It's really worth it in the end. Actually I was thinking of getting a basic laptop with Broadwell or Skylake, so I will soon find out what's up :) Best of luck and skills to you.
