Did exactly the same thing as you now. Now I can boot the installer, format my drive, click install and I'm getting the exact same message. Do you have a solution yet?

I haven't solved yet, still I have no clue why it does this.

I'm still having this issue, who's resolved it?

Fixed it, it's the image. Your method does not seem to work so I luckily got the image using the App Store on a real mac.
Maybe you can find it on the internet somewhere. Neither the patcher tool nor your method works for that sadly.

For me even downloading from a real mac I still get 19mb thing and doesn't work the method I use. I'll try searching the full image.

I can confirm that you need to download the full MacOS installer (around 5.2 GB) to get MacOS working on your Mi Notebook Pro using this guide. I was able to obtain it using a MacBook Pro. I have never tried using the Patcher app, so I do not know whether that image would work.

one more issue, my headphones (connected via 3.5mm) sound like crap. The in built speakers sound fine though

As mentioned in the current guide, audio through the headphone jack somewhat works, but the current solution is not ideal.

If you use the latest files from Razorkey you will have a lot of thing working.
Now i'm searching a fix for audio and image HDMI.

@deniscabaldi mentioned to be looking into a fix. I'll update the guide to reflect any development on the issue.

Is anyone else having problems with Ethernet card?

I'm trying to sign in to the App Store, and I'm getting an error "Could not verify this device"

So, I tried to follow the steps in this video, to solve my problem.

But, then I discoved that there's no Ethernet card.

Is anyone able to sign in to the App Store?

BIG UPDATE I GOT TO SEE THE GPU AND KNOW WHAT IT IS AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE CARD....

Can you update us on this? Is Mac OS X actually using the card or is it just recognized by the OS? Can you try running some benchmarks?

Is it possible to disable integrated Intel network adapter and use m.2 slot network adapter in Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro?
