Which macOS Version can be installed?

  • macOS 12.0.1 up to 12.5
  • macOS Ventura Beta 5
    Warning! Big Sur cannot be installed as this EFI was designed for Monterey

What's Working?

  • WiFi/Bluetooth (Intel)
  • Touchpad
  • Sleep
  • Keyboard
  • AirPlay / Handoff (handoff w/ iCloud account)
  • Boot Speed (perfect, 10~15 sec)
  • USB Ports (working, but with slow connecting speed, maybe upto 10 sec)
  • Headphone
  • Graphic Acceleration

Not working

  • Broadcom Cards (Not confirmed)
  • Fn Keys (partially working)
  • AirDrop (working on it)
  • SD Card / HDMI (Not tested, but will work not working, still working on)
  • Thunderbolt 3 (will fix soon if possible, working on)

How to Install (Pt. 1 / BIOS Setting)

  • Enter BIOS with F2 (hold F2 until you see BIOS)
    1. Enable Secret Settings (Ctrl + Alt + F7)
    2. BIOS - Main - Boot Features - CMS Support [NO] (IMPORTANT)
    3. BIOS - Advanced - Intel Advanced Menu - Power & Performance - CPU Power Management Control - CFG Lock [Disabled] (IMPORTANT)

How to Install (Pt. 2 / Make Bootable Disk)

After install

  • Some settings after you installed whole macOS, please follow this
    1. Settings - Trackpad - Turn off Force Click
    2. Download OpenCore Configurator
    3. OpenCore Configurator - Tools - Mount EFI
    4. Go to EFI volume and replace EFI w/ mine
    5. EFI Folder - OC Folder - open config.plist with OpenCore Configurator
    6. Go to PlatformInfo and generate serial number, other things and save & reboot!
      That's it!

AirDrop Dilemma

You have 2 options and one of these can enable AirDrop and another one can't (maybe, not confirmed)
First option: Get BCM94360CS2 with M.2 Adapter, attach on M.2 Slot (SSD) and sacrifice USB Port for BT and AirDrop
Second option (not confirmed): Get BCM94360CS2 with M.2 Adapter, attach on M.2 Slot (SSD) and just use Intel BT
