Asus - UX430UA - Kaby Lake i7-7500U Intel HD Graphics 620

[gulios]

Hello everyone, thank you gulios for the post, it helped me a lot, however I have a little problem. The sound works at home I have AppleALC.kext Lilu.kext (ID: 14/ALC295), I installed ALCPlugFIx but when I plug in a jack I have some very small crackles, and unfortunately the sound no longer works, I have to sleep to put it back on the speakers.

Thank you!

You have to have https://github.com/insanelydeepak/c...blob/master/Laptop/ALC295_v2 Asus UX430UA.zip
installed as daemon to fix crackling sound.

or
https://github.com/hieplpvip/ASUS-ZENBOOK-HACKINTOSH/blob/master/src/alcplugfix/alc295/install.sh

After that my sound works fine.
If you still have a problems, maybe create issue for @InsanelyDeepak on github

If you want wifi working, then yes
Off course you can use Eth via usb without wifi, but it's laptop so...

Did you do anything special to get through the installer? I'm trying this on a UX461UA. Not the same hardware but possibly some similarities.

I can get to the installer just fine but keyboard, trackpad, UHD and 620 graphics acceleration are not working. I can use a USB mouse to get through the installer. A few minutes in, the laptop instantly restarted - no countdown or anything. I rebooted into the partition (now on the SSD), and I've been stuck at a black screen that says "less than a minute remaining" for over 15 minutes.

It was actually trying to restart itself but since it wasn't working properly it just got stuck at that screen. Was able to get to the desktop but of course with no QE/CI and keyboard & trackpad support. Will work on getting those to work.

Have you tried plugging in a USB keyboard and mouse?

Have you tried Rehabman git hub download for fakepciidkexts? It has a trackpad kext to use along with the fakepciidkext.

Thank you so much for your help.... Unfortunately that doesn’t work ....

You have to have USB external mouse. Without it you won't be able to install kexts (VoodooI2C.kext, VoodooI2CHID.kext) etc...
For keyboard use VoodooPS2Controller.kext, it should work fine.
