Xiaomi-pro-hackintosh: macOS Catalina?

[GummybearCanada]

Does macOS Catalina (beta) work on the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro?

[stevezhengshiqi]

Great question. It’s near bed time in my time zone. I may get sleep during updating, so welcome other people to test.

Success

So far what's working:

• Audio
• Keyboard
• USB

Very nice! Was it a seamless install? Just use the installer and "go"?

[stevezhengshiqi]

It needs a few modifications:

• Add boot argument: -lilubetaall
• Inject ig-platform-id:0x12345678
• Add kerneltopatch, according to https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339035-pre-release-macos-catalina/:

00 85 C0 0F 84 87 00 00 00 49
replace
00 85 C0 90 90 90 90 90 90 49

BTW, the graphic card and trackpad are not working as we expected, so I don't recommend to update at this time.

For solving graphics 7mb,

• try to build latest WhateverGreen with latest Lilu

I didn’t have laptops these days, so I can’t test more.

With lastest kext works fine with 1536mb...

@stevezhengshiqi accept my pull request, please!

It is stuck on "estimating time remaining" for a few hours.
What might be the problem? Is there a log file I can provide you?

[johnnync13]

@GummybearCanada try https://github.com/johnnync13/XiaoMi-Pro/releases/tag/v1.3.4

You are a genius! It works perfectly after I used your EFI folder, including graphics and trackpad.

Unfortunately my USB Wifi doesn't work anymore. I have ASUS AC53 Nano, which is RTL8812BU chipset. I installed the driver for macOS from official ASUS website like I did for previous versions, but after restart nothing happened.

I tried to find an answer online, if I'm not wrong the reason is that all the current USB Wifi drivers are 32 bit, but only 64 bit programs are supported in Catalina. Hopefully the manufacter will update the drivers to support beta versions instead of waiting for final version in September

@GummybearCanada Hello, I have 2 questions about installing, can I just run "install macOS Catalina.app" from apps directory, and also, can I edit my EFI folder before installation?

[johnnync13]

@rewhex you should put this efi before. It is compatibility with 10..14.x too

Found a USB Wifi Driver for Catalina https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-Adapter-Clover
The driver on ASUS website is annoyingly still from 2017.

@GummybearCanada Hello, I have 2 questions about installing, can I just run "install macOS Catalina.app" from apps directory, and also, can I edit my EFI folder before installation?

I created a bootable USB and did a clean install. I don't have enough technical knowledge to say whether running the installer from the apps directory would work or not, but my guess is that it should work...
In both cases, you should use the EFI folder from johnnync13 before starting the install.

Anyone able to get sidecar working?

今天的10.15beta3更新时最后20%会直接关机。重复无解。

[stevezhengshiqi]

@LisztFU 我这里无问题，beta3。
