Thanks in advance. same guide works with two modifications. 1. change the word "Sierra" to "Mojave", 2. when format the hard disk, format it to apfs. everything else is the same to me.

I do have a couple of issues that I need to look into, but in short: Download Mojave Create the USB installer (see post #1) Download the latest Clover and install it onto the ESP of the USB Copy over your config, kexts, DSDT et cetera Boot the USB Install Mojave I've not encountered a single issue while installing. The only issues I'm currently having is: Bluetooth not working Brightness slider not working (Fixed) Once I figured these out I'll post my EFI folder and write a more detailed guide.

Guest ricoc90 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) @dindu5678 I can't manage to get Bluetooth working. Also I had to remove EAPDFix.kext otherwise my audio would not work. When I have the time I'll look into it but sadly that won't be anytime soon. The steps are identical to the one from #1 with only minor differences: The recent Clover has changed it's directory structure. All drivers should be under \Drivers\UEFI as seen in the attached CLOVER folder Instead of using the patched AppleHDA I am using Lilu + AppleALC Spoiler CLOVER.zip Edited July 26, 2019 by ricoc90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a few months since I've hackintoshed it and I did manage to dig up a dsdt that supports bluetooth. From which thread, I am not certain but I will attach it for posterity. However for those of you that struggle with the lack of reliable sleep on your surface, which essentially renders it useless as a tablet, there is great news, as hibernation now works with clover and osx. I've attached lilu.kext and hibernationfixup.kext which will enable you to take advantage of the hibernation functionality. Place them in your EFI/kext/'osversion' folder. For this to work it is however essential that you don't have EmuVariableUefi-64.efi installed as a efi plugin as it relies entirely on native nvram. Proceed by opening your terminal and input: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25 Put your surface to sleep, it will suspend your surface and save your memory into /private/var/vm/sleepimage and shut down. Once it has been properly shut down, push the power button and let it boot up 'Macos (hibernated)'. You'll be presented with a black screen, but don't panic, just push and hold the power button for two seconds and your session will be restored. In other news, I've purchased the touch-base drivers. They were kind enough to weed out the clip on keyboard issue at my request. For the most part, the touch experience with these drivers is 'okay', however the lack of a proper pop-up on screen keyboard makes the experience a little tedious.

In case you installed ACPIBacklight kext then remove it. I'm using WhatEverGreen. I do seem to miss something because also in High Sierra I do not have Bluetooth working.

Audio works out of the box, without post install via kext dropping. Any way screen have white tint also... It was always my problem with any OS newer then Sierra.

Running Mojave, with 0x0166000a (this is the only way how to avoid washed screen, no brightness and battery sadly) + Lilu + Whatevergreen, without Intel GFX Inject. BT not working. Our main problem is proper DSDT missing, with BT and correct HD4000 implementation. I have no idea how to patch DSDTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancewright Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'm trying to configure the USB stick, but the version of Clover has been updated to a point where I can't find where I should make the customizations.
