[Guide] El Capitan on the Skylake H170N-WIFI

GIGABYTE H170N-WIFI / BIOS version: F20

I just upgraded my BIOS to version F20. It seems to work now. Hier is what I needed to do in the BIOS to get the hackintosh to boot and work properly.

After the BIOS upgrade I did reset the BIOS (on the motherboard with a jumper on the BIOS reset pins for a second by disconnected power cable).

After reboot I opened the BIOS settings and did the following changes:

Save & Exit
--> Load Optimized Defaults

Hello everyone, I would like to know if is possible use this chip (Mini Pci Wireless Original Broadcom 4324a-brcm1045 Wireless) instead of BCM94352Z chip, because I can not find it in my country (Brasil) and it's a pain to buy from amazon for example. Thank you.

 

Oh my god! This saved my life!
it works now! why it isn't a part of official troubleshooting or install guide?

Thanks man!

 

great guide

 

so my DW1560 (BCM94352Z chip) just arrived today and i installed in on the machine. it both wifi and bluetooth works. I prefer on using the bluetooth mouse but the only problem is during clover boot screen and login screen, it doesn't seem to work. the mouse only gets connected after i enter my password.

is there a way to fix this? coz i'm thinking of getting a bluetooth keyboard as well but if this doesn't work, might as well stick to the USB keyboard and mouse.

 

You can't use a bluetooth keyboard or mouse in the bios.
As far as I remember a Logitech keyboard gets around this issue with a dongle witch pairs the keyboard with a more basic non-bluetooth mode untill the OS/bluetooth kicks in, but then you need a dongle beside your bluetooth/wifi card.

I personally use a usb keyboard

 

Hi.. Just a question

If I use Apple Airport Wireless Card on this motherboard via m.2 port, will it work out of the box?

it work fine but when i want to shutdown my Hackintosh, it reboots each time ...
i try to disable the bluetooth and shutdown. and it don't reboot ...

how can i find a solution to continue tu use my Magic mouse

my config :
Gigabyte H170 wifi

BrcmFirmwareData & BrcmPatchRAM2 are in the "Other" folder in EFI

 

In Clover Configurator>Acpi:
check FixShutdown and AddDTGP and see if that helps
