<< Solved >> Huawei Matebook X Pro running Catalina

[WhiteDragon]

Successfully created a Huawei Matebook X Pro Hackintosh today starting with Catalina 10.15.3.

2018 stock model:

• i7-8550U
• GeForce MX150
• 16GB RAM
• 512GB SSD

The CLOVER from gnodipac886's Github worked for the 10.15.3 install:

Thank you gnodipac886!

I created a UEFI-bootable USB with a Cover partition and a Catalina install partition. I used the direct CLOVER folder from Github and the config.plist provided, not the config-install.plist, and the install worked without issues.

I then upgraded the laptop to Catalina 10.15.5 and it hung on loading the Intel graphics firmware, so I added -disablegfxfirmware to the Clover boot args and successfully upgraded to 10.15.5 through system preferences software update.

All major features are working:

Touchpad
Touchscreen
Battery Status
Backlit Keyboard
Sleep

I'm using a dongle for the Wi-Fi.

Cheers!

I've continued to update my Matebook as new versions of kexts become available. The most exciting update is that the native Intel WiFi is now working using a new itlwm kext and the new HeliPort app. They also work on the ASUS laptop I configured back in May.

I have attached the versions I'm currently using. Here are the links to where I got them:
