Hi Y'all

 

Successful install on a Dell Inspiron 3458.

 

Dell Inspiron 3458

1.7 GHz Intel Core i3

SSD (replaced the original HD) 128GB Kingston

6 GB Ram

Intel 4400 Graphics

 

All working but WiFi. Need to buy and replace Intel AC 3160 with anything in the whitelist. BCM94352Z suggested. Still don't have it but will report back when done.

 

As usual, its a result of using many other solutions, but primarily here. That helped start the install process that was stuck on crashing and reboot. After that a series of kexts from everywhere and a LOT OF GUESSING AND TRYING AS USUAL.

 

The result is a Sierra 10.12.6 with full graphics (actually using hdmi output right now), LAN, sound, mouse(trackpad), keyboard, bluetooth, external apple trackpad, and others.

 

Clover started to boot then after the ++++++++++++++++++ (using verbose mode) crash with no panic or anything message. The reason, the graphics adapter. 

VERY IMPORTANT to know, how to fix it was putting a FakeId IntelGFX= 0x04128086 (in Devices top left) and ig-platform-id=0x0a260006 (in Graphics) in config.plist. Can use a  ig-platform-id of 0x12345678  just for the install. Will boot and then attack all other issues like graphics, sound, lan and keyboard/mouse. Also mouse(trackpad) and keyboard did not work oob so had to put vodoops2 and keyboard kexts or use external keyboard/mouse (rather dumb....) but better just copy the attached files to your EFI volume. Using Clover 4099 (or latest).

 

Did do this in another Hackintosh so it was easier.

 

Attach is config.plist, Clover/Kexts/Other and the Clover/drivers64UEFI folder from the final solution. Should also work in the USB install drive.

 

I did not use USB to install. Restored a Sierra image from my Desktop Hackintosh to the SSD and worked from there.

 

If anybody needs the EFI folder (28.8MB) let me know.

 

Thanks to all the other guys from many posts.

Hi! Made an account just for this.

I own the same laptop, Inspiron 3458 (28353008306 ID code just in case) and have been trying desperately to hack macOS into it for weeks without success. This stuff is so frustrating!

Do you still have the same device? If so, how has it performed since december? Have you updated?

Would you be kind enough to share a quick guide on how you achieved it? I'm afraid there's stuff I don't understand well, but you seem pretty knowledgeable! And we own the same laptop, which is a relief...

Thank you so so much for you help!

Thanks a lot! for this guide, i've just installed MacOS Sierra with these steps and now is working, only thing a i had to do additionally was install Clover to main disk once OS was installed, and then copy the clover files you put here to the clover installation, one thing i have to mention is that clover never worked for me with ig-platform-id=0x0a260006 but with 0x12345678, i had to use that one on installation media config and in MacOS main disk clover also.
