FCU4ever Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hello, I’ve an Asus G73SW laptop with the following specs: - Processor: Core i7-2630QM -> Sandy Bridge - Grapich card: Nvidia Geforce GTX460M - Chipset: HM65 A few years ago I’ve succesfull installed macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on this laptop. Since last month Apple doesn’t support the OS anymore so it’s impossible to update my iTunes and synchronise the photo’s with my iPhone (main reason to do a hackintosh). So I decided to update the macOS to Catalina 10.15.7. Unfortunately with no luck. I will describe the steps I’ve been done. 1) Downloaded ‘Catalina 10.15.7 with EFI folder for chipset series 300, 400 and 500’ from this link: https://www.olarila.com/topic/6278-olarila-vanilla-images-macos-installer/ 2) Created with ‘Bootdiskutility’ an bootable USB with (latest) Clover installed 3) Downloaded ‘NOTEBOOKS CHIPSET SERIES 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Download’ from this link: https://www.olarila.com/topic/5676-hackintosh-efi-folder-with-clover-and-opencore/ 4) Removed existing EFI folder from USB and copy/paste the EFI folder from the download above 5) Boot from USB and start the installer 6) Installer stuck after a few seconds (see screenshot 1) Then I was thinking and check what I had to do to reach the installer with the Sierra installation. To reach that installer I had to put a few drivers into this direction ‘USB\EFI\CLOVER\drivers\UEFI’. The drivers I need where CsmVideoDxe-64.efi (to have fullscreen in bootloader), HFSPlus-64.efi and OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi (to reach installer). Let’s try to boot the Catalina installer with the drivers I need for the Sierra installation. The installers goes a little bit further but also got stuck (see screenshot 2). Can someone help me to reach the Catalina installer? screenshots.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
