ASUS ZenBook UX431F

This laptop is quite hackintosheable. I purchased it without an OS, and it's pretty affordable. A great MBP alternative!

Specs:
  • Intel Core i5 10210U (HD630) - Comet Lake
  • 8 GB LPDDR3
  • Intel (Optane?) 512 GB SSD NVMe
  • 14" FHD
  • Ports: HDMI 1.4b, USB-C, USB 3, USB 2, SD, jack.
  • Backlight keyboard
  • Intel WiFi AX200 9462 2nd
What works: I think it's quicker to say what doesn't and what's untested. Yes WiFi works thanks to the itlwm project.

Partial work: Microphone AND speakers won't work at the same time. Speakers will work on layout 66 but microphone on layout 21. Maybe we need to union those layouts, it would work.

Untested/Unsure: SD (maybe won't work as usual), USB-C (at least it gives power).


Battery issue:

I tried my best to make a DSDT patch, a SSDT patch, etc... no luck so far. But now I know something:

Does it have THREE BATTERIES???????1

Seriously, I got not only BAT0 but BAT1 and BAT2.

In fact, I tried to fuse them in a BATC following VirtualSMC's instructions (Docs) for dual battery. Still have problems.

And I get this on startup:

2020-08-05 08:13:02.909437+0200 localhost kernel[0]: (Lilu) SMCBatteryManager bmgr: @ failed to find batteries or adapters!
2020-08-05 08:13:02.909446+0200 localhost kernel[0]: (Lilu) SMCBatteryManager smcbus: @ BatteryManager probe failure

It's pretty obvious the main problem is that the battery is not detected.

Any clue on this?

SOLVED.
In fact, the problem was either 16-bit values and ADP1 that needed to be replaced in a SSDT because of _STA. I'M CRYING.
FINALLY! IT'S THE BEST HACKINTOSH EVER.

Here's a Gist with my patch :)

FINALLY I managed to get to the error that prevented my jacinto to show up battery status. Here's the ACPI SSDT disassembled. You also need to rename ADP1 to XADP or so, and BAT0 methods too.

But i can't boot On Windows why?

I use ESC to enter another OS like Fedora. On OpenCore I can only select macOS.

My advice is to use rEFInd to have a multi boot selector.

I'm glad this work helps more people :)

Default works. Also, don't forget to install OpenCore on the EFI partition (a 200 MiB sized partition on the begin). I think you forgot the EFI (copy-pasting EFI/ folder into the EFI partition works).

Okay thank you.

Your EFI version is it OC 0.6.4 or 0.6.5. ?

0.6.4 at the moment of the commit if I remember correctly. Upgradable to 0.6.5 if using OpenCore Configurator (easy btw, open, edit something, save).
 
Thank you for your reply. everything went well. tell me when you have an update for EFI with the sd card reader work.

Because i can't use my sd card reader.
 
Hey! Love your work on this. I have a similar Zenbook!(UX434FLC) I was wondering if my Intel WiFi AX201 works as well?
