lollized Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I started working on this pc during last days and finally, it's working. Specs: Intel i3 550 - 3.20Ghz Ram: 4GB Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GT 710M. (Integrated works with LiLu + WhateverGreen, but I couldn't get full display resolution). WiFi: TL-WN727N (rev 03) Motherboard: MSI 2a9c. (no UEFI) 1) Creating bootable Mojave USB. To create a Mojave USB installer, I red the apple wiki, works just fine. 2) Installing Clover. Clover must be installed in Legacy Mode. See the screenshot above for installation. 3) Copying necessary kext into clover and add config.plist. We will need those kexts (download "kexts" in attachments): -VirtualSMC -com.apple.telemetry.plugin (I extracted the kext from high Sierra) -NullCPUPowerManagement -USBInjectAll Just copy them into EFI://Clover/kexts/Other/. Warning: only copy LiLu and WhatEvergreen only if you're booting with integrated graphics. Now, download config.plist in attachments and replace with clover's default. Note 1: I used SMBIOS from iMac 13.3 because using 11.2 block the installer, as the iMac 11.2 doesn't officially support Mojave. You can change it to 11.2 whenever you want post-install. Note 2: The default boot flags are "-no_compat_check -v". This allow to boot normally. Without the first bootflag, we should obtain a message that says "This version of MacOS is not supported on this platform". 4) Booting and installing. Now, just boot and install. I selected Guid partition map and APFS file system. 5) Installing WiFi just download any version of BearExtender (make sure to follow the instructions in the package) and install the kext RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext which I attached under "wifi.zip". 6) Installing Audio To make the audio works, I just installed VoodooHDA. Just pick the last version of it from here and install (I prefer kext utility), then, repair the permissions and reboot. many thanks to @Baio77 and @Hervé, who helped me during the first phase. config.plist.zip kexts.zip wifi.zip Edited January 31, 2019 by lollized Switched graphics to NVIDIA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollized Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 11 minutes ago, Hervé said: Yes, you certainly don't have graphics acceleration; now that's normal under Mojave since there is no support for any Intel iGPU older than Ivy Bridge HD4000. You'll have to install the 1st gen Intel HD graphics kexts from previous OS X/macOS versions, knowing that 1st gen graphics have always been subject to conditions. You can refer to the Bible on 1st gen Intel HD graphics. well yes, I'll update the thread tomorrow, when finally the new Nvidia GPU arrives. I won't continue using this Hackintosh with the integrated graphics, cause of the poor performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you've installed the GT710, you may boot with the 2 x following additional graphics parameters: Inject nVidia nVidia single Kepler cards are supported OOB. Yes, i Will try. It should be kepler, so maybe no needs Inject. But, i'll try. And what about LiLu? Should i remove it+whatevergreen once nvidia Will be installed?

This Nvidia works OOB with full resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll update the thread with new info, now with a new smbios isn't required to boot with -no_compat_check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
