***To any mods, if I have placed this thread in the wrong location I do apologies for doing so***
Hey y'all. I have been trying to get some form of a hackintosh for my MobileStudio and I'm finally making progress.
This is my first hackintosh project that doesn't have a guide to follow so all of this is really new to me and I'm pretty much going into this blind. I also am doing this in my spare time so any extra help to making this a more stable and complete system will be greatly appreciated.
Images of pen and touch working and clover are down at the bottom
My Mobile Studio Specs:
16" 250GB Variant
Skylake i5-6267U Insyde McCallen
Intel Iris 550 / Nvidia Quadro 600M - 3840x2160
8GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
So now that you have my specs, just as a warning your experience can be different from mine depending on you model.
I currently have Mac OS X 10.13.6 installed on an external SSD until I can get it working closer to 100%
What you will need:
- External HDD/SSD
- A USB C to USB A 3.0/2.0 HUB
- A Flash Drive at least 8Gb (USB 3.0 makes things a lot faster)
- MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Installer
- USB keyboard and Mouse
- Unibeast 8.3.2
- Multibeast 10.4.0
- Clover Configurator 5.2.0.01
- Latest Wacom Drivers for Mac
Getting Started on the Wacom:
- Get to the secure boot settings by spamming esc during startup and selecting Administer Secure Boot when the bios front page shows up
- Disable everything applicable unless its already disabled save changes and exit.
- Enter the Bios Setup Utility and change:
- DVMT Pre-Allocated to 128MB or Higher
- UEFI OS Fast Boot to Disabled (I did this for safe measure)
- Create the usb bootable installer for High Sierra 10.13.6
- Go here for help on that -> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372
- Use Unibeast to create the clover boot entry:
- UEFI Boot Mode
- Skip ATI and NVIDIA Injection
- Copy over Clover Configurator, Wacom Driver, and Multibeast onto the USB
- Enter the boot manger by spamming esc on startup. Select Boot Manager > ~The name of your Installation Media~
- Boot into clover and select the installer USB and pray it works.
- If successful, format your external HDD/SSD to GPT and HFS+ (Mac OS Journal)
- ****Remember the name of your new disk for when booting into it in clover****
- Once successfully formatted begin the install for High Sierra. When computer reboots keep installation usb still plugged in and return back to the clover boot menu.
- When your computer reboots (which will happen several times), spam esc on startup, go back into boot manager, and select the Installation Disk Again.
- This time select the new Disk that you just installed High Sierra to and continue on with the installation.
- If installation is successful the next time you boot into the new Disk you should be presented with the setup walk-through.
- Complete the walkthrough
- Drag Multibeast and Clover Configurator into a location you will have easy time accessing.
- Open Multibeast and select and install the following (like I previously stated I'm going in blind so some of these might not be needed)
- Drivers >Disk> Intel Generic AHCI SATA
- Drivers > Misc > Core Graphics Fixup aka WhateverGreen ***This is needed***
- Drivers > USB > USBInjectAll ***this allows touch support and quick keys, so very important***
- Drivers > USB > 3rd Party USB 3.0
- Drivers > USB > 7/8/9 Series USB Support
- Open Clover Configurator and mount the EFI partition to the bootable usb and the EFI to the Disk with High Sierra installed (which in my case it was empty).
- Copy the efi folder from the installer usb over to the High Sierra Disk. From this point on you don't need the usb installer to get into clover.
- Install the Wacom Drivers and reboot and you should be good to go...somewhat.
*This is how I got mine working which took quite a bit to figure out with incorrect combination kexts and bad values that kept leading to panics or boots that wouldn't finish. With the kext installed from above and properly editing the values below according to your graphics card you should be good.*
*Ill also be including my entire clover folder for those who want to take a look*
- Open the config.plist file in Clover Configure.
- Go to Devices > IntelGFX > Enter 0x19268086
- Go to Graphics > ig-platform-id > Enter 0x19270000
- Make sure Graphics > Inject Intel is selected.
- Save the config and reboot
- Hope that Graphic Acceleration is working
***Not everything has been tested out so there could be more or less working. I'll add to the lists as I go***
What Works So Far:
- Multi touch support - thanks to USBInjectAll.kext
- Pen Support - works natively without any modification
- Bluetooth
- Graphic Acceleration - *Your Mileage May Very*
- Quick Keys - Thanks to Wacom Drivers
- All RAM is now seen - Follow How to Fix RAM
- Battery Stats - Can be fixed using ACPIBatteryManager.kext
- Front Camera
- Brightness Control - Honestly don't know how (should be fixed in clover-1.1.zip)
- Sound - Thanks to VoodooHDA kext (See how to fix audio)
- Volume and Auto-Rotate Keys
- Manual Put to Sleep - a graphic glitch happens then goes back to the desktop
- Waking up from Sleep - I see disk activity put display is black with not even a backlight
- WIFI- Will never work since its intel. Get a dongle or get a heat gun, screwdriver, a guitar pick, and some double sided tape and prepare to brake open this baby. *Already did it once to change the thermal paste might have to go ahead and do it again to change the wifi card so if it does come down to that Ill make a video.*
- Nvidia Quadro - only applies to 16" Mobile Studio Pro
- There is probably a lot more to this list that I have not tested or I can't test because of differences in hardware
- Rear Camera
- Im not sure if power management is working or cpu stepping is working as at 100% my battery will last only for two hours
- Go into Windows task Manager and check the number of slots occupied.
- Boot into your Mac partition and open Clover Configurator
- Based on the amount of Physical Memory you have available to the amount of slots occupied due some basic math and find out how much memory each slot contains
- Go to SMBIOS and add the memory beginning from slot 0 going up. I have 2 slots occupied out of 4 and 8Gb of ram. I'm not sure if ram capacity changes with other models or if they all stay at 4Gb each slot. Vendor name is not important as I just put the name "Ram" in mine and it worked
- Set channels to Dual Channels and the amount of SlotCount to 4
How to Fix Audio (ALC286)
- Download VoodooHDA.kext from https://sourceforge.net/projects/voodoohda/
- Place kext in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/
- Using Clover Configurator open up your config.plist
- Go to Devices > Audio > Inject = 3
- ResetHDA and AFGLowPowerState are unchecked
- Reboot and sound should work

***UPDATES***
*clover-1.1.zip
Trying to go more vanilla just using the clover installer and somehow I fixed my brightness so new clover.zip is uploaded and hopefully others will see the same results.
I did clear any cpu power management and gpu values in the config.plist values to not cause conflict with other hardware.
