Hi All -
A buddy and I have been researching installing Sierra on our Dell XPS 13 9360's which include the latest Kaby Lake i5 7200U. We have very limited experience in the Hackintosh scene and are nowhere near familiar with it as most of you probably are. However, we were able to use the leg work that RehabMan and others have done to successfully boot into Sierra. We figured it would be good to share this with others who wish to take this project further. This is nowhere near complete and more than likely not even done so correctly, however, it's a start.
Note: We read that Hynx drives will not work most of the time..so we decided to install a different M.2 SSD into our 9360's (in my case, a Lite-ON 128GB M.2 drive). We attempted to perform the install with our Samsung 950 Pro M.2 NVMe drives, but were unable to have Disk Utility recognize them for the install - I know RehabMan has solutions for this but, like I said, we aren't familiar enough with hackintoshing to do so correctly.
- On a OS X VM or actual OS X machine, download OS X Sierra from the Mac App Store.
- Locate at least an 8GB flash drive and download Unibeast to install the Sierra OS to the flash drive.
- Within this thread, user t_anjan attached his Lenovo Yoga 710's EFI information from Clover (post #3422). From here, we downloaded the attached "Yoga-710-EFI.zip" attachment. With this attachment downloaded, we copied over the "CLOVER" and "BOOT" folders to our Unibeast flash drive.
- Within the "CLOVER" folder, we deleted the included "ACPI" folder entirely and replaced it with the one included in the "CLOVER.ZIP" attachment in post #1 located here for the Dell XPS 9350.
After these steps were done, we were able to follow the Dell XPS 13 9350 guide located above once again to make the necessary changes to our BIOS to allow us to boot into the flash drive and perform the install.
Within ~10 minutes, we had OS X Sierra installed on our Dell XPS 9360's. Thank you for your work, RehabMan...every post of yours was an abundance of help in trying to better understand this process.
Anyone else willing to take this on from here?
