[Guide] Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen

Hi all,

I have been trying to get this to work for a week now still cant get more tha 7mb on an i5 8400 + B360m Mortar board (second unit project).

I think the reason im getting stuck is that I dont have coding background and I don’t know how to put lilu debug inside Whatevergreen’s root and compile it. I did several attempts but just keeps booting into a black screen.

I tried using hackintool 1.7 as well but I think im doing it wrong there too. You are supposed to copy the generated plist code into your current config right?

My apologies for the questions, im sure they sound dumb to many, but if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Can you upload your config.plist? Be sure to remove serial numbers from SMBIOS section of the file.
 
Hi everyone, sorry I'm super new at hackintoshing

I added prebuilt binaries of lilu.kext 1.3.1 DEBUG and whatevergreen.text 1.2.6.DEBUG to clover>other

I then added PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) and AAPL,snb-platform-id as 00100003 (I have a Sandybridge CPU)
and device-ID as 02010000

When I go into system profiler it's still showing the onboard VGA port as "display" and show "no kext loaded"

Am I missing something? My BIOS does not have iGPU options but does have an onboard VGA port. My end goal is to get final cut running better with my GTX1070

Thanks for your help!!

Have managed to get HW acceleration with HDMI port working on MSI H310M Pro VH ... This may work with MSI boards though haven't yet gotten time for sleep/wake and DRM. If it doesnt work, remove the connector patches from the config.plist since those were specific to my board. 10.14.1 works fine and later versions should. However make sure you don't get the latest BIOS but only upto v15. Newer MSI BIOS have some USB issues where for a second USB is disabled during boot so any installation media fails that is connected via USB. There is no setting for this on lower end boards. I need a B360M Mortar. Someone donate ? :p

I think this is what happened to the board I was working on. I couldnt get acceleration to work so I updated the bios to the latest one for the b360m mortar and found that booting into macOS whether on a usb stick installer or an actuall SSD installation took forever. Is there a way around this or is the board practically bricked as far as installing macOS is concerend?
 
Hello everyone,
I installed Mojave in DELL DESKTOP INSPIRON 3470
(i3-8100, RAM 4GB, UHD 630) - 2 connectors VGA and HDMI
- can not set DVMT
- worked: realtek erthenet, audio (sometimes work and not work), CPU, usb...
----
I try to patch my UHD 630 with lastest Lilu and WEG.
when BOOT seem iGPU loaded but no signal for connector (HDMI).
black screen show with sound when click keyboard (seem loaded to login form but no signal to HDMI)
I tried some config file but not work
----
hackintool show headless device id

You will have to download an older version of the BIOS and flash that. That may be risky and might brick it.

What I would suggest to try is pickup a cheap HDD (like a 5$ 20GB HDD would do it) and use the HDD to boot using SATA. This way you can use the latest BIOS too and get around the USB issue hopefully. Its sad MSI has decided to do this because this will break any USB booting for hackintosh I believe. There must be a setting on higher end boards but there is nothing for H310. Or you could order an m.2 SATA if you can find one for cheap on ebay since your board has that support.

Try using the VGA. If that port works and has acceleration, it means you need connector patching. You can try the connector patches in my config.plist but before that I would suggest you download latest LILU and WateverGreen first and see if that does it. If hackintosh is booting, you are halfway there. Otherwise if you cant get acceleration on HDMI you can find a cheap Rx 470/570 on ebay for 100$ which will pretty much work for a long time.

The suggestion to use an SSD to boot off of is genius, but I don’t think thats going to make too much of a difference. I had a working hack installed on the boot SSD. I flashed the BIOS thinking an update would address my framebuffer issues, and I found that after the flash booting was painfully slow. The progress bar below the Apple logo was crawling like I was booting off a USB and when it finally hits the end it just stays there and wont continue on to macOS.

Is it possible that the latest BIOS version conflicts with any of the UEFI drivers? Up to this point it was pretty much a sure thing to use osxaptio free and emuvariable when using MSI B360m boards but maybe that's no longer the case after the update?

Im just throwing around random ideas here though, I'm not an experienced at hackintoshing.
 
Hi there.
I'm trying to fix graphics for my fresh-installed macOS Mojave.
I did everything according to the guide but get stuck at the first boot screen (stuck at the line with plus characters, see attachments).

I have an Intel HD 530 with device-id: "0x191b" (from the system report of my current 10.13.6 hack).
I also attached my clover folder.
Am I missing something?

I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks.
