Steps

1. Prepare the USB

• Download and load recovery to USB using gibMacOS
• Put ACPI, Drivers and Kexts into EFI
• Configure config.plist

boot-args: -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=1 npci=0x2000

• Patch config.plist with GenSMBIOS
• Verify serial generated by GenSMBIOS is not in use
• Pass OpenCore Sanity Check

2. Configure BIOS

• Load UEFI Defaults
• OC Tweaker > Load XMP Setting > XMP 2.2 profile (for DDR4-3200)
• Advance > Super IO Configuration > Serial Port > Disable
• Boot > CSM > Disabled

3. Install macOS

• Format a drive as APFS with GUID Partitioning Table
• Proceed with installation

4. GPU Spoofing (FakeID)

• Identify PCI ID & ACPI Path 👉🏼 OpenCore GPU Spoof
• Patch SSDT-GPU-SPOOF.dsl and compile it to SSDT-GPU-SPOOF.aml 👉🏼 Patch SSDT-GPU-SPOOF

~~External (_SB_.PCI0, DeviceObj)~~
~~External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP, DeviceObj)~~

Modify this 2 lines into 👇🏼

External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP, DeviceObj)
Scope (\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP).

• Place it into EFI/OC/ACPI
• Update config.plist (OC Snapshot)

5. Patch AMD Kexts

• Disable CSR Proctection from Recovery Mode with csrutil enable --without fs and reboot 👉🏼 Bypass CSR Filesystem
• Copy AMD7000Controller.kext, AMDRadeonX4000.kext and, AMDRadeonX4000HWServices.kext from /Systems/Library/Extensions
• Modify each Info.plist, replace 0x68191002 with 0x68111002
• Patch kexts with Hackintool 👉🏼 Inject Kexts with Hackintool
• Re-engage CSR Proctection with csrutil enable from Recovery Mode
