First, I apology for the messy post, I just couldn't wait and make others wait to see this post so I made it in haste as I have work for my PhD and I am trying to catch up to so many things at once . Yes, if you ask me, I didn't originally plan to hackintosh my PC (though I always wanted) till it bit me quiet often last few weeks when I used linux and/or windows. So I decided to install it. I do have a macbook but I love the shear power of this workstation and the two screens realestate (it is just so much more comfy and more productive). Ok, I will shut up and give you the meat of it .
I got macOS Sierra on my HP z600 FULLY working (without disconnecting nor changing any BIOS settings). EVERY single device works like if it was a fully loaded Mac Pro 5.1. In addition, this is starting from a FULLY legal macOS copy I downloaded from my App Store account.
Prerequisites: you need either a JMicron SATA to USB (or any compatible SATA card, but i made mine with the USB external one) adaptor to first setup and inject drivers into the HDD on which you installed macOS sierra. After the step you injected the SATA kext, you won't need it! you simply plug it to the "FIRST" sata port on the motherboard and it will boot, no other sata port will allow you to boot (this is the way this workstation is made... ). Yes, nothing more! just the USB flash also for the bootable unibeast macOS Sierra, duh.
Attached is my clover-configurator plist and other files you will need to make it work like mine.
Audio ---> use the attached zip to patch the kext (both linux dump of the driver and the patcher app files are in the ALC262*.zip attached).
Graphics ---->
Make it *Mac Pro 5.1* first.
Install nvidia graphics *web driver*.
Then install *cuda driver*. ==> I think this one wasn't really needed in my case... mine is EVGA 750Ti SC with 2GB GDDR
_MAKE SURE_: you do *NOT* select inject NVidia driver. Because injecting means overriding it to OSX default
driver.
_More over_:
Go to options in the boot loader *options* and make sure
to tick the Enable Graphics Web driver AND disable Inject NV
Driver if enabled.
USB ---> delete the AppleHPET*.kext use this command : sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHPET.kext
Note down that the first boot after you remove it, the graphics may act weird, or maybe the whole thing. Just wait until it fully boot and you . can login, then reboot. Next reboot that issue goes away (at least this is my experience).
Ethernet ---> working out of the box in full speed.
SATA ports (yes the ones on the motherboard itself and for booting too) ---->
install the *AHCIPortInjector.kext* using the EasyKext installer
*ALSO* the files I used for enabling SATA are attached as AHCIProtInjector.zip, for your convenience (I hope I am not violating the forum's guidelines, if so please moderators help me make these available without doing so, pls don't remove the post).
Use the *EasyKext Pro* to install it easily
.
iMessage and Facetime to work -----> follow instructions on this ****** link (as for the self solve link, use this one: https://checkcoverage.apple.com/)
*NOTES*: any settings are set in the plist attached, you can safely ignore it unless you want to obtain certain kexts like "generic USB, FAKE SMC, etc, I basically selected to install many kexts of those but I don't know what effect they make). One last thing, choose the *LEGACY* boot loader for booting. All kexts were installed using multibeast and clover version i used is 3766.
extra things I have working from these settings in my setup: Logitech c920 (both mic and full HD conferencing), multi SD card reader connected to motherboard and a bluetooth to connect my magic mouse, two screens one 4K through my EVGA 750 TI display port, and another 1920x1200 through the DVI port.
ENJOY! and happy holidays (I hope this makes up for any missed/unsatisfying Christmas and/or new year gifts
).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: make sure you generate your system ID's using clover configurator rather than using mine (in case I forgot to remove mine), otherwise I and you may end up in trouble and we may get our icloud ID's/systems black listed by Apple.
