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

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

After booting into OS, you cannot boot without usb, because EFI is in USB. So, You need to downlaod opencore configurator link -> open opencore-configurator give permissions in system prefereneces -> security -> open anyway. open opencore-configurator again -> mount the EFI and paste the EFI<folder> to the EFI partition.

• Remove the USB and reboot. RESET-NVRAM once in opencore boot-menu and reboot

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

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.

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

Use MacBookPro16,1 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.
