I've built my first hackintosh with quite the same compontents like ModMike did.
Everything was new for me, so I started with installation of Mojave with EFI-Folder of Mike. Everything works fine. But then I made some mistakes. To prevent others I want to share them with you.
1. Do not login to iCloud before changing the serial number of your hackintosh
After installation I immediately logged into iCloud. Fault number 1... The serial number of the installation was written to my iCloud account. For more... see second fault.
2. Changing serial number in Clover Configurator should be done very conscientious
I
changed the model of the Mac! I did it and Bluetooth said goodbye because I choose an older model to be sure that my serial number will be unique even in the future. But I didn't realize that this changes my hardware configuration, too.
I generated serial number three or four times, then signed into my and my girlfriends iCloud. And at some point iMessage didn't work anymore. After checking my iCloud-account I realized, that the serial number of my hackintosh doesn't match the one in my iCloud-account and my girlfriends account, too. That costs me over an hour. I have to change the serial number of my Mac to every serial number I want to delete from these accounts. But at the end, everything works fine.
3. Updating Mojave to Catalina
I've done this directly over preferences -> software update, without updating my EFI-Drive. So came what had to come. Blackscreens occur an my RX580 didn't work anymore. And now? I'm installling Mojave second time. But I've read the guides before.
I did and recommend these steps:
a) backup old EFI-Partition
b) Updating Clover and UEFI-Drivers matching with the one in my EFI-Folder -> reboot
c) Starting Clover Configurator -> mount EFI-Partition -> select config.plist
d) Update Kexts in Folder kexts/other/ (whatevergreen, lilu, AppleALC) -> but you can update them all -> reboot
e) Run the installer of Catalina 10.15.1 (no black screens or other problems)
f) everything works fine for me
4. Get Final Cut Pro X to work
After installation of FCPX the App crashed directly after the start. So... searching the forum and found these guides:
[Guide] How to fix Final Cut Pro Crashes on Startup (open) UHD630 + RX580 High Sierra/ Mojave
[GUIDE] Installing 3rd Party Kexts - El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina
Now I'm very satisfied with my Hackintosh and everything works, like Modmike said.
Special thanks
