[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

[Leesureone]

We

I was wondering how Nvidia cards were disabled. I have an older Dell XPS laptop which doesn't have the option in the bios to disable but this should work. You really have been around for a lot of years on this stuff Leesureone. I keep learning from reading your posts so thanks for your faithful support of this tread and others I'm sure.

Actually I think I was wrong about that, it just disables IntelGraphicsFixup which is part of Whatevergreen now. Sorry for the bad information.

Okay how about this, I don't usually use last volume booted but have gotten it to work. This version of the config.plist will always start a volume named "Cat" but you can change it in Clover Configurator to whatever your hard drive is called that has OS X on it. It works for me, it times out after 5 seconds and then boots.

Hi, now the timer works. But there's no chance it remembers the last selection used. I had such a setup before, but when I changed motherboard and had to redo the whole clover booter I could never achieve that again.

Any chance we can get it to remember the last volume booted?

Hi Latex, Once you have finished installing your Hackintosh from the USB you have a few more things to do to finish the setup.

The first is you have to install clover configurator. Mount your HARD DRIVE EFI partition and copy and paste with finder your EFI FOLDER from your USB to your HARD drive. That way future boots will use the hard drive EFI folder and boot files when the USB is removed. Keep the USB though in case one day and update of your mac or something makes your computer unbootable so it is important.

The second thing to do is to then customaise/add a unique serial number and machine number to your Hackintosh so that icloud, imessage and other apple stuff works correctly.

I wrote a guide about installing Catalina a while back. Skip down to CLOVER CONFIGURATOR and then the steps of how to do this are there with more detail etc and links on how to do this.

Can you clarify more on "Bluetooth working in Catalina" IF Dual Booting. Are you saying Bluetooth is stable in MAC OS Catalina? I don't understand what the relationship that Bluetooth working has with NEEDING Windows as Dual Booting. So it seems you are saying if you unplug the power source...

Thx. Im just install. But can't find audio driver. First time sound is working well, but when I try to use multibeast I did some thing that broken audio driver. How can I get back audio into live? Big thx for answers!

Glad to hear you got your unit working. There is no need of post install as page 1 of this guide is now out of date.
The only thing you need to do is to add unique serial number etc afterwards as Leesureone's EFI folder has it left blank.

Here is a link on how to do it.

Hi, I followed the guide, but it appeared that a serial number already was assigned (don't know how?). I checked it and was reported as valid.
Note: I did remove unwanted devices, but after re-boot my desktop folders were gone.

Try removing this driver from EFI/Clover/Drivers/UEFI and then reboot. EmuVariableUefi.efi Also make sure to add under Legacy "LegacyBiosDefault".

Please do not try to use Multibeast, just replace the EFI folder on your hard drive with this version.

You, Sir, are the Lord of the Nucintosh. Hats off, you solved the issue!
One more thing, I have a random BT5.0 USB dongle that works, is there any way to enable handoff with it?

I wish USB Wireless/ Bluetooth adapters worked that way, there is a possible solution to get the onboard Bluetooth working though. @Nemphys wrote a script that has done the trick for several users, haven't tried it myself. Here is the link #2,069
