[Guide] Installing macOS Mojave (10.14.2) on Intel NUCi5BEH using Clover UEFI + updating to Mojave (10.14.6) on post#2

[Leesureone]

Hi @Leesureone since the new mac mini is out, wanted to check if you are able to make any progress with your NUC10?

Edit: The new Mac Mini is still running 8th Gen, so I guess we wait...

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply, not getting email notification. Right, we are waiting for the new MacBook Pros.

Thank you for your guide!
This is my second hackintosh within 12 months. My first (free) build went quite smoothly.
But with my newly arrived NUC8i5BEH2 I am not even able to enter the BIOS! F2 simply does not work! I was able to enter the "Power Button"-Menu and to restore the BIOS (version 056). But after that I am stuck again. F7 doesn´t seem to work either. If I am plugin an install USB stick (configured like said in the guide), I got a failure message, that it is not able to boot "for security reasons". Any ideas? I would be very happy about some help. Thanks in advance!

You need monitor 1024x768 or u buy hdmi to vga adapter. Good luck

You understand that post you replied too is almost a year and a half old? The date on it is January 2019....

Not yet, the IceLake/ Frost Canyon CPUs aren't supported. Hoping the next generation of MacBook Pros uses those CPUs.

Thanks, even with opencore ?

To new users trying to load Mojave on an NUC8x please be aware this guide is no longer being maintained.
With recent bios updates being pushed out by Intel above version 56 as well as updates by Apple to Mojave beyond 14.2 the guide has become outdated and no longer works as is.

Two things additional things are needed at a minimum to be able to reach the Mojave install window.

1. An updated version of the Clover bootloader must be installed, I suggest version 4290 or higher, although slightly older versions will probably work but have not been tested. Rehabman’s version available through the terminal commands in his original guide on Github will cause the installer to halt.

2. An updated config.plist containing an ACPI/DSDT/Patch for an RTC issue that will also cause the installer to stall if your bios is a version higher than 56

***Some users are also apparently unaware that their Samsung 970 EVO plus SSD will also cause install failure if the firmware is not updated first. Visit the Samsung Website for instructions on how to create a bootable USB drive for firmware updates.

The attached EFI folder has all of the above as well as some fixes for onboard Audio and USB C functionality.

If you decide to use it it’s as simple as creating a bootable USB drive using UniBeast and then replacing the EFI folder with the attached.

Once Mojave install is complete and you have then installed an updated version of Clover to your hard drive replace the EFI folder on your hard drive with the same attached folder should finish the job. Afterwards I highly suggest you use Clover Configurator to create a unique serial number (although “continuity” is not an issue unless you have gone the route of adding a Wireless/ Bluetooth card in the one available M2 slot with the appropriate adapter mentioned in various NUC posts). Cheers

Edit: If you have issues with crackling sound from the headphone jack several users have reported success installing all kexts, with the exception of FakeSMC.kext, to the Library/Extensions folder. Audio over HDMI and the headphone jack both should work. (You can probably install all of kexts there, including FakeSMC.kext, if you prefer)

Updated EFI with Clover Version 5100 Catalina ready 12/13/19

I have the Nuc8i7BEH and Hackintoshed it to Mojave per this guide. I added an IOGear USB 521 for bluetooth and kept the built in Mac drivers (which seem to just work). I turned off wireless and bluetooth in the Bios. The last last thing I am trying to get working is AirDrop and the continuity features. These features do not work via BT. I have tried the Continuity Activation Tool Beta with no success:

GitHub - dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool: An all-in-one tool to activate and diagnose macOS 10.10-12 Continuity on compatible Mac configurations.

An all-in-one tool to activate and diagnose macOS 10.10-12 Continuity on compatible Mac configurations. - dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool

The continuity activation tool does not detect the IOGear USB and therefore will not install. I am hoping somebody that has made a hackintosh with this same hardware can help steer me in the right direction.
Thanks!

For continuity to work you also need wireless and OSX needs to see it as native (meaning aftermarket USB solutions for wireless don't work). Unless you want to purchase and adapter for the M2 slot and wirelsee/Bluetooth card its a dead end. We also now have the onboard bluetooth working with this kext so you don't need a dongle!
