Like Chameleon Clover is a boot loader that allows Mac OS X to run on non-Apple hardware, however it is meant to bring numerous benefits and fixes over the former solution.įrom reading forums online and after several previously failed attempts I don’t expect this to be an easy task, but this time I am determined to get it working. This install is still a work in progress for me and will be updated as time goes on and I hopefully get more things working.Īfter many years of running the Chameleon boot loader, the time has come to climb Hackintosh ‘Everest’ and make the transition from Chameleon to using the Clover project boot loader. I was able to get audio working by using clover configurator to disable SIP and then using Toleda’s scripts for Sierra to fix the audio.Reboot the Hackintosh, remove the USB and you should be able to boot the target drive using the Clover bootloader (now installed on the target drive itself).Download the relevant DSDT file for your X58A-UD3R (dependant on installed BIOS) from the DSDT database here and rename/copy to the EFI partition at /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml.On the EFI partition create a folder at /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12 and copy FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManagement and RealtekRTL8111 from the USB into it.Replace on the EFI partition /EFI/CLOVER/ist with the config from the USB.Mount the EFI partition on the target drive using Clover Configurator.When the install is finished, download Clover again and install it to the target drive using the following settings.When the installer reboots the machine, ensure that you boot from the USB key again using F12, but then select to boot from the target drive in the Clover menu to finish off the installation Install macOS Sierra as normal to your target drive.When prompted by the Clover bootloader, boot from the macOS installer USB.Insert the USB in the X58A-UD3R Hackintosh, hit F12 on boot and boot from the USB installer.Download and extract FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManagement and RealtekRTL8111 to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other.Replace on the drive /EFI/CLOVER/ist with the config provided here.Run the Clover installer and ensure that the USB is selected as the installation location, customise the config to mirror the settings below.Download the latest version of the Clover bootloader (r3793 at the time of writing).Sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/USB -applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app -nointeraction Using terminal, create a bootable USB installer by entering the following command. ![]() Insert USB stick into the existing Mac and use Disk Utility to name the drive ‘USB’ as well as formatting the volume type: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).On a Windows installation, insert an 8GB (minimum) USB drive and quick format it to FAT32.Download the latest version of Sierra through the Mac App Store on the existing Mac.But I remain persistent to get those working with this release and install.īelow is a summarised step of instructions I performed to get a persistent working install, please note you will need access to an existing installation of OS X to perform the Hackintosh installation.

Over the weekend I managed to get a fresh Sierra install working on a spare HDD, allowing me to test its stability whilst still running my daily workhorse Yosemite install. I decided to just skip the 10.11 El Capitan release and perform a fresh install. This means the time has come to update my 10.10 Yosemite install to 10.12 Sierra. With the recent release of macOS Sierra 10.12 (previously OS X) my current OS 10.10 Yosemite install has been pushed to n-2 support status (Apple supports 2 versions prior the current release), meaning Apple will drop support for security updates upon the next release of macOS, presumedly due 2017. ![]()
