Hello Guys,

I’m planning on buying a z30t:
i5 5th gen
8 Go RAM
256 Go SSD
13,3"
Do you think Sierra will work on it ?

I’m already an owner of a hackintosh tower.

Best,

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"

Hello RehabMan,

So I made some research and found that my cpu is based on Broadwell architecture.
I don't know the chipset (cpu link https://ark.intel.com/products/85212/Intel-Core-i5-5200U-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-2_70-GHz)
laptop link (https://pricebaba.com/laptop/toshiba-portege-z30t-intel-core-i5-5th-gen-8gb-256gb)

will keep you guys updated !

Thanks

This is why I asked the first question, would it be problematic to test this same tutorial on a Broadwell architecture ? Saying it is Off-topic doesn't resolve the issue and replying to the question would help many other people looking to hackintosh an other model close to this z30 A, like mine, like many other portégé models.

A lot of things change with CPU architecture as completely different graphics settings/graphics patches must be used.

Thank you for your help Rehab, I will take this in consideration.
 
Hi, i have exactly the same model of this thread (except for the processor i7-4600u), and i tried every single ALPS Touchpad kext and it doesn't recognize either the trackpad physical buttons and drag and drop functionality, every other functionality works fine, gestures, etc. Is there any new version of this trackpad for Mac Sierra that i don't know?
Plus, how can i know exactly how to know what version of ALPS trackpad i have? Thanks in advance!!

- First you need to create the Sierra USB installer following the great tutorial from here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...sierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.200564

- Download EFI Mounter v3 and mount the USB EFI partition.

- Remove the appleps2controller.kext from USB/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Others and copy the VoodooPS2Controller.kext from PostInstall.zip to the same place you removed the appleps2controller.kext.

- Boot the USB Installer and install Sierra normally(name the partition of installation to MAC, any doubt just search the forum for "how to install Sierra"

- After installation completed, boot again with USB installer and select MAC disk to bootup.

- Download Multibeast, open it, select Quick Start and select UEFI Boot Mode, choose Build option and click on Install

- After install Clover with Multibeast, open EFI Mounter v3 and replace the EFI folder with the one inside PostInstall.zip

- Install all the kexts inside the kext folder with Kext Wizard.
- Reboot, and voilá, you have Sierra working perfectly well on your Toshiba Z30-A.

- Enjoy it like i'm enjoying.

Credits:
- Many thanks RehabMan for such support on patching and everything related with this hack and not forget your great patience...
- Dr. Hurt for such a underfull Alps touchpad that just works perfectly
- All the people of this great community for the kexts i'm using it.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.
