Choosing the right files for your macOS version

If you are on a previous macOS version, you should checkout the branch named archive/macos-<major version> depending on your situation. Please note that you will not get any support using files from those branches.

Problems

Existing

• The built-in microphone doesn't work

Fixed

Expand/Collapse

Sorted by date discovered, latest to oldest.

• The boot picker doesn't show up (neither when Misc -> Boot -> PickerMode is set to Builtin nor External)

  Fixed by resetting NVRAM. But without knowing which entry in the boot picker is Reset NVRAM, some guesswork is required.

• The touchscreen doesn't work

  Fully fixed in commit 73aa198. It also worked in macOS versions prior to macOS Monterey by switching to SSDT-XOSI from SSDT-GPI0, adding XOSI patches, patching VoodooI2CPCIController.cpp (credit to @MJYINMC), and after a sleep. Now it works out of box.

• System Preferences app crashes (or freeze or throw a "Could not load ... preference pane" error) when trying to open the following panes:
  • Siri
  • Accessibility
  • Network
  • Bluetooth
  • Mouse

  Fixed by removing IntelBluetoothInjector.kext and adding BlueToolFixup.kext, credit to extra instructions for Monterey users by OpenIntelWireless.

• OS start-up takes too long

  Same cause and solution as the crash of System Preferences.

• Built-in audio output doesn't work

  AppleALC.kext with layout-id 61 works.

• Unable to boot into macOS 11.0.1 Installer (Neither download and prepare within the OS, nor through a USB drive)

  You have to set the value of DVMT pre-allocated by patching the BIOS (configuring related entries in the config.plist for OpenCore doesn't work on this device). See here for the instructions and thanks @MJYINMC.

• Stuck on apfs_module_start... Previous shutdown cause... while booting into the installer

  Not problems with EFI files, solved after reflashing the USB Installer.

• Stuck on IOG flags ... Generation from SMC report as ... IOPPF ... while booting into the installer

  Solved after fixing SSDTs, adding some kernel extensions, etc.

• Stuck on [ PCI configuration end, bridges 2, devices 20 ] while booting into the installer

  Solved after reordering the SSDTs.
