🤩 🤩 Now the EFI supports Sonoma stable !!🤩 🤩


if anyone contributed for this project, I will update EFI for every release. A small cotribution will also be appreciated. If anyone are ready to contribute their EFI here will be appriciated too. Because this repository is growed as a main branch for our Infinix INBOOKS Hackintosh. So anyone can work in this repository about our all INFINIX INBOOKS but give credits. EOL due to i don't have a infinix laptop(broken).

Infinix-Inbook-series Hackintosh-Guide-Opencore.

  • Ice Lake (10th gen) Inbook or X1, pro,slim & x2. Read full guide before you proceed.

Status :

Talking about the battery🔋, The only issue is when the battery is about 10% or when device shows low battery, don't sleep your device. If you do it, the device may shutdowns or reboots only at that situation. Note - In this Hacintosh, You get 5hr battery for common usage like using xcode,safari instances, social media apps, and 1080p playback at a time, continuously, simultaneously. Users reviews= see here

What's working ✅
  • ✔️ Wifi
  • ✔️ iMessage, FaceTime, App Store, iTunes Store Please generate your own SMBIOSread my post install which is below the installation.
  • ✔️ Bluetooth (Bluetooth Headphones working, also bluetooth file transfer works)
  • ✔️ OnBoard Audio(Input/ Output)
  • ✔️ USB ports
  • ✔️ Wired headphones
  • ✔️ You will get upto 4 hours to 5 hours battery backup for streaming 1080p-youtube and for coding without any pause.You may get more than me.
  • ✔️ Trackpad
  • ✔️ brightness keys(To increase(+ve) -> Pausekey) & (To decrease(-ve) -> Scr Lk key)
  • ✔️ Wake / Shutdown
  • ✔️ Short sleep, Long sleep (If you put your device to sleep for all night, it conusmes 6 to 8 percent. Its common in every operating system
  • ✔️ For HDMI , buy a USB dock not typeC.
  • Everything (Much More).
What's not working ⚠️
  • ❗ Hdmi slot. To get work, buy a USB Dock.(Try Type-c and usb Type A docks for our infinix) IF the usb Type-C dock works for display out, Inform me.
  • ❗ Didn't Mapped Keyboard keys. But it's not mandatory. I like the default keyboard mapping.
  • ❗ Audio is dead in x2 or x1 slim due to those devices have intel bluetooth sound cards. But using via headphones or bluetooth or any external audio dongle will work for x2 and x1 slim. Audio is 100% working for x1 and x1 pro.
  • ❗ Don't expect too much battery in this Hackintosh like windows. You get atleast 6-hours battery-backup more.
  • The performance is better than windows and linux.(don't check benchmarks with geekbeench. You will see low scores than windows. But in performance, This macOS has great performance than windows, linux. I have tested in different sinarios, You can also test it and let us know about it.

  • You definitely get more performance sure than windows without plugin the charge in this MacOS(Hacintosh)... I have tested blender in Both OSes.Blender worked very very smooth than windows(Tested my personal project has "realtime sky Nishita" which puts high work on device with blender 3.2.1. So you can expect more performance it in My efi. Here, the performace is because of "Metal-Optimisation", but not optimised in "OpenCL" in windows, And we don't need openCL in macos according to me.. Don't except higher performace in gaming like windows & linux in macos

infinx inbook x1 i3 laptop benchmarksimage

  • I have also tested the python program benchmark test (Just used terminal not IDE) : Results:

    In windows :
    
      - The program finished compiling on time (on balanced mode)- 4min 36sec.
    
      - The script finished compiling on time (on performance mode)- 4min 26sec.
    
    On macOS(hacintosh)without plugging in charge :
       
      - The program finished compiling on time - 4min 16sec.
    
    On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS(original) :
    
      - The program finished compiling on time (on Performance mode)- 4min 39sec.
    

    Used python 3.9 and This benchmark script compiled the program x16000 times once.

WindowsVirtualboxBench

And also I have tested Windows10 virtualbox with assigning 1core, 4gb ram 50gb storage in macOS monterey. These are the benchmarks.


INSTALLATION

Devboloji-Quote - "think like you have Macbook Air."

Start with bios.

Setting Up with Bios

Note:Some of these options may not be present in your Bios. If you didn't find some bios, leave it and don't worry about it.

Disable:
  • chipset -> PCH IO configuration ->disable wake on wlan and bluetooth (which causes sleep issues)
  • Secure Boot
  • VT-d -> Advanced -> Cpu -> Virtualization technology
  • Disable windows bit-lock encryption (ignore, if you don't lock it, the pre-installed windows doesn't come with bit-lock. Leave it, if you don't know about it.)
Enable:
  • DVMT Total Dfx Mem(iGPU Memory): MAX from System Agent(SA)configuration -> Graphics configuration.
  • Set DVMT Total Gfx Memory setting to Maxfrom System Agent(SA)configuration -> Graphics configuration.
  • Set DVMT PPre-Allocated Setting to 160M or to max from System Agent(SA)configuration -> Graphics configuration.
  • Intel Virtualization Technology not vt-d.

After setting these settings in bios, save it and exit.

This is a simple and quick summary of the online install USB creation.

macOS Bigsur Installer with Windows And Mac Users:

Process1.MacOS BigSur Online Installer from Windows, linux and macOS:
  • For Windows users

    1. Download [rufus](https://rufus.ie/en/) to format the sdcard to fat32.
    2. Select the desired flash drive or Sdcard you would like to put the installer on under the device option
    3. Open rufus and Select `non-bootable` as the `boot selection` (REQUIRED)
    4. Select `FAT-32` or `Large FAT-32` as the partition scheme. Hit start(by doing this the sdcard formats so you will lose the all the data in sdcard).
    5. If in windows,Open up the usb partition in file explorer and delete all the files created by rufus manually.
    
  • For mac users

    1. Launch `Disk Utility`
    2. `Select View` > `Show all devices` at the top left
    3. Select your flash drive (root usb device)and format it as `MS-DOS (FAT)` or `FAT-32`.
    4. change `guid patition table`-> `Master Boot Record Partiton`.
    5. hit start(by doing this the sdcard formats so you will lose the all the data in sdcard).
    
  • For Linux users

       1. Install `gparted` and format the usb to `Fat32` and `MBR` OR `MASTER BOOT RECORD PARTITION.
       2. DONE.
    
  1. Then ......................
  2. Now, Install Python from Microsoft store or Download manually for MAC,linux and Windows users here -> python (Make sure you select add python x.x to path to environmet variables for windows users.)
  3. Download and extract the OpenCore Package (Release version is fine).
  4. Select the "macrecovery" folder in the "opencorepkg" folder at /Utilities/macrecovery/ .
  5. Copy the path of the "macrecovery" folder in file manager or finder.
  6. Fire up command prompt or Terminal and type cd and hit spacebar and paste the path of the macrecovery folder. 12.If you cannot run this command, add python or python3 to the beginning of these code.
  • For BigSur -Run the command: macrecovery.py -b Mac-42FD25EABCABB274 -m 00000000000000000 download
  • For Monterey -Run the command: macrecovery.py -b Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 -m 00000000000000000 download
  1. This will download some files in the macrecovery folder but we only need "BaseSystem.dmg" and "BaseSystem.chunklist" (takes approx. 600mb to 800mb internet)for Downloading the Macos installer.
  2. Create a folder in USB or pendrive or flash drive named com.apple.recovery.boot.
  3. Paste both of those files in the com.apple.recovery.boot folder in your flash drive partiton or sdcard or pendrive.
  4. Download the latest EFI created here
  5. Copy the folder named EFI and paste it in your USB partiton.

Note: If you need to edit Config.plist, don't Clover configurator because its opencore. Use OpenCore configurator , use PlistEdit pro, PropperTree, or Xcode.

You will get display glitches only while installing the macOS via USB or any flash drive. But you won't get Atleast ONE glitch after installing of macos or using the MacOS as a daily driver.

Note: Make sure to apply the correct bios settings before continuing (provided above)

  1. Restart your laptop and hit Deletebutton continuously until you go to bios settings. Note: Make sure to apply the correct bios settings before continuing (provided above)
  2. Select your flash drive as temporary boot option in boot menu.
  3. Now in the OpenCore menu select the name of your USB partiton.
  4. Great! Now install and set up macOS Big Sur as usual(This process will be required 14gb internet to download full Macos bigsur).
  5. the system reboots for once or twice so, when rebooting choose the usb everytime until you see your Macos Partition name in boot menu.
  6. After booting into OS, You need to downlaod opencore configurator and mount the system drive, Then paste the efi to the mounted efi from the USB or drive. then reboot and remove usb.

Note : Don't make the screen off, until the installation is over or until the it reboots. If the screen is off in the installation process, it reboots and you need to do the same process of installtion.

  • After booting into OS, in setup you will see File-Vault must be disabled or turn-off. After setup,you need to do little work, read post-install-0

Post Install

Once you have verifed that your machine boots properly without any issues as described in the "What Works section", proceed to do the following

Devboloji-Quote - "think like you have Macbook Air."

0. [Must] Boot os without usb or any drive

After booting into OS! So, You need to downlaod opencore configurator link -> Open opencore-configurator. If it doesn't open, go to system prefereneces(Monterey or older) -> security -> open anyway. Open opencore-configurator again -> Now mount the EFI and paste the EFI<named-folder> to the EFI partition of your system drive.

  • Remove the USB and reboot. RESET-NVRAM once in opencore boot-menu and reboot..Done...
1.Disable the black screen texts on boot up

( Disabling the Verbose mode)A new hackintosh User uses this. To disable it, In Config.plist, navigate to 'NVRAM' -> go to Add 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args -> remove the -v argument. Save it and reboot.

2. Disable ShowPicker

Don't use this if you are using dual boot. In the Config.plist, You can disable the boot picker screen so that you boot straight to th Apple logo by setting under Misc -> Boot -> ShowPicker False (NO) Note: you can still see the boot picker with ShowPicker set to no/false by spamming Esc before the apple logo is displayed during boot.

3. Boot faster or Remove Volume has MisHash If anyone facing Volume Hash Mismatch, Just type `sudo purge` in terminal so you can use bluetooth without rebooting the device.😉 You can Disable IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext & IntelBluetoothInjector.kext to be able to Boot faster those kexts in config.plist for BigSur. For Monterey, Disable IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext & Bluetool fixup.kext to be able to Boot faster those kexts in config.plist This is not done by default to bluetooth working.

For those on macOS Monterey do not enable IntelBluetoothInjector kext because the system will not boot

4.Clean Updating your EFI with new EFI release

To update your EFI with the new Release EFI. The steps:-

  1. Download new Release EFI from here

  2. Take the backup of SMBios or windows dual boot file to other folder, if you required. (if you want to backup SMBIOS,copy system serial number, system UUID, MLB, ROM, System product name.)

  3. Now add those SMBIOS or place Windows EFI files as it should be in old EFI to new EFI, if you backuped before.

  4. Mount the EFI partition, Delete the OLD EFI.

  5. Copy and paste the new EFI to EFI partition.

  6. hit reboot, Remember to do only Reset NVRAM once.

  7. Done, you have done a clean EFI Update.

5. Add Device Properties for Serial number, MLB, ROM, Sytem-UUID.

Use MacBookAir9,1 SMBios. Recommended : opencore configurator, Go to the PlatformInfo >SMBiosTick the "Add to the section to config file" in SMBIOS and DATAHUB -GENERIC- PLATFORMNVRAM and continue your Adding your SMBIOS. Follow this Opencore guide to set up serial number and the accompanying info to get iServices.

Trick to Get exact Processor details in System Information - When you are adding the smbios, Edit processor type -> 0 or delete inside of processor-type .

6.To fix cursor glitch (ignore, if you are done, before installing)

Goto Bios Settings -> Chipset Section -> System Agent (SA) Configuration -> Graphics Configuration

Set DVMT Total Gfx Memory setting to Max Set DVMT PPre-Allocated Setting to 160M or to max

7.Fix Imessage and Facetime.

If you are new to the apple account or if you are using apple account for the first time in hackintosh, You need to use the apple account for one month and use icloud. Even though, the imessages or factime don't work..

  • ⁠iMessages and Face TIme works if we connect the internet via USB(usb debugging), •⁠ ⁠Music works on Wi-Fi. •⁠ ⁠⁠Message and face time works on usb(usb debugging) need HornDIS application installed on mac if not detected. or else you need to remove AirportItlwm.kext and replace with Heliport(itlwm) as complete fix, but you need to sacrifice speed and nativity of wifi. The thing is "Use it" for a month or more and automatically after some days, Magically facetime and imessages workss...Tada...
8.Fix "interface is small" (small text and window issue)
  • To fix, use one key high dpi here and run hidpi.command in the folder and choose (1) Enable HIDPI by typing 1 -> Then choose Macbook -> if you want 1920x1080p with best quality use (4) 2560x1440 Display or if you want more scale use (2) 1920x1080 Display (use 1424x802, fix underscaled after sleep) or Recommended: for custom resolution -> choose (6) Manual input resolution -> then type 1472x828 hit enter -> Reboot your device.

  • After rebooting, go to system Preferences -> Display -> choose Scaled and select what you like.

10. Install Windows in Pre-installed MacOS (Dual-Boot).
  • This process is very simple for dual boot and can ask doubts and issues here.
  1. Take a Usb or sd-card, connect to pc & Launch Disk Utility -> Select View > Show all devices at the top left.
  2. Select your flash device (root of your usb device)and format it as MS-DOS (FAT) or FAT-32. Change guid patition table -> Master Boot Record Partiton. Hit start(by doing this the sdcard formats so you will lose the all the data in sdcard).
  3. Copy the EFI that you are using right now to the USB device.
  4. Now download the Microsoft.zip file from my Github and paste the Microsoft<folder> inside of EFI folder of the USB or sdcard(where you see the boot,OC folders inside of EFI in your USb).
  5. Next, to partition your drive, -> Launch Disk Utility -> Select View > Show all devices at the top left -> Choose your MacOS-drive as root -> Click Partition -> click add partition if you see a popup -> Name your partition. -> Change the Format type to ExFat or Ms-dos -> Adjust your Partition size as you like. click Apply. This process takes atleast 15 min.
  6. Take an Another USB, Now Make bootable of required version of windows by rufus or any other.
  7. Boot to USB from bios. Run the windows Installer as Asusual. But remember to install in your windows Partition in where to install in windows disk.
  8. When you boot into windows, install all Updates and you can also restart when updates required reboot.(Forget about macOS for now). After installing all updates, Plug in the EFI usb or sdcard(that you previously copied the EFI and Microsoft folders) and reboot to usb from bios to boot into MacOS.
  9. When you boot into MacOS, Mount the EFI folder, and Replace default EFI(the drive efi) with your usb or sdcard EFI. Unmount the EFI and reboot.
  10. Try checking the boot menus by Rebooting to macOS & Windows.(you can see "MacOS" & "Windows" in boot-menu)..
  11. Now you can Easily get Windows & MacOS on boot-menu. Enjoy.

Thanks to NitinGaury for sharing the Dual-boot win&macos in EFI.

. Have a great day.
