Hi Friends,

 

success, my hackintosh works!

 

macOS version:

10.13.1

 

Hardware:

CPU: i5-8600k

Gigabyte Z370 HD3

8 GB 2666 MHz DDR4

GPU: UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

Wifi card: TL-WN881ND

 

Drives:

SSD: Samsung PRO 850 M.2

SSD: Samsung Pro 830 scratch disk 

Storage 2 x 3TB RAID 1

 

Steps for installation taken so far:

1.) Downloaded OS 10.13.1 installer through my work MacBook

2.) Created a USB installer with clover.

3.) Boot from USB intel drive 

4.) Partition SSD disk using Disk Utility

5.) Install macOS

6.) Move EFI folder from Install USB to Macintosh HD EFI partition

 

Working:

Graphics card (UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB)

Ethernet

Audio output.

 

Not working, needs further addressing:

Microphone input

Wi-Fi (my card: TL-WN881ND)

Fans are noisy. They seem to run full speed.

 

Maybe somebody can help with the finishing touches, especially regarding Wi-Fi.

 

I tried adding <string>pci168c,2e</string>

/System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirportAtheros40.kext/Contents

 

using

 

sudo nano info.plist

 

Restart the hack, however still no wifi. Checking the info.plist file, the string is still there.  Scratched my head, did some reading, downloaded DPCI Manager

 

PCI list shows

 

Vendor 168C

Device 002E

Sub Ven 168C

Sub Dev 30A4

 

Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express).

 

I am confused. Should work no?

When I repair perms in PDCIManager and then RebuildCache the installation breaks and becomes unbootable, it stops during booting at the apple logo and turns the computer off again.

 

System Information does not show Wi-Fi hardware.

Does it need to set some parameters on BIOS (UEFI)  to work properly? 

tomorrow i will get my Ga-z370-hd3p and preparing to get it work =)
