SMBIOS: iMac20,2

The system triple boots Windows 11 and Ubuntu Mate

Don't be an idiot and use these great tools instead of wasting your time with propertree or other plist editors:

• OpenCore Auxiliary Tools - easyconfig.plist management
  • OpenCore Configurator - alternative for OCAT
• Hackintool - debug and map USB ports

1. Make sure to update your BIOS, disable CSM support and enable XHCI Hand-off (for Airdrop/Continuity/Sidecar) and XMP
2. Create an macOS Monteray/Big Sur USB-Installer Stick, install OpenCore and copy my EFI folder (how?)
3. Generate a new serial number, motherboard id, ROM (that's your motherboard's mac address without dots) and SMUUID (make sure serial number isinvalid in order to iMessage/Facetime to work) (how?)
4. Boot the new macOS partition
5. Copy the EFI to the local disk

Here are sometips and tricks

• macOS Ventura, Monteray and Big Sur
• WiFi and Bluetooth + Airdrop + Sidecar + Continuity (OOB via Fenvi T919)
• Audio
  • NOTE: Rundefaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDKE -boolean yes if Apple Music won't start playing songs
• HDMI/DP (with VRR)
• All USB ports
• Everything iCloud related (Drive, iMessage, Facetime, unlock with Apple Watch, etc)
• Intel Quick Sync (if you enable iGPU in BIOS)
• Temperature monitoring
• Resizable Bar Support (enable Above 4G Decoding in BIOS)
• Shutdown/Reboot/Update to newer macOS builds over time
• Sleep
  • NOTE: DisablePower Nap and runsudo pmset -a FLAG VALUE to matchthis if your hackintosh wakes up randomly

• I225-V 2.5Gbit Ethernet Adapter on Monteray only works if youreflash the firmware. However itdid break the WiFi for me.

I'm currently using a PCI card (Realtek RTL8125B PCI Express 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet) with theLucyRTL8125Ethernet kext as I already bought the card before the fix was found.

All USB ports workexcept the two next to the ethernet port (HS03/SS03 and HS04/SS04). I needed another USB-C port on the front of my case + a USB 3 port + a USB 2 port so I had to disable those 2. If you don't need front IO (or use a different PC case) you can useUSBInjectAll.kext, setXhciPortLimit = true and use Hackintool to map the ports you want.The USB-C port on the motherboard works and it's reversible.

Fuck /r/Hackintosh mods for not allowing EFI sharing and being on power trips
