Installation

Identify Your Model

If you are using XiaoMi-Pro with 8th Gen CPU, then it's a KBL (Kaby Lake) machine. (Actually Kaby Lake Refresh)
If you are using XiaoMi-Pro with 10th Gen CPU, then it's a CML (Comet Lake) machine.
You will need this information when you download the EFI release.

First-time installation

donot_clone_or_download

get_release

Build

Build the latest beta EFI by running the following command in Terminal:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh/main/makefile.sh)"

Or run the following command in Terminal:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh.git
cd XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh
./makefile.sh

Some advanced usages are:

# Build EFI with Clover and OpenCore bootloaders (1. --BL=CLOVER Only Clover 2. --BL=OC Default, only OpenCore 3. --BL=CLOVEROC Both Clover and OpenCore)
./makefile.sh --BL=CLOVEROC
# Build EFI with kexts and OpenCore in Debug version
./makefile.sh --DEBUG_KEXTOC
# Ignore errors when the script is running
./makefile.sh --IGNORE_ERR
# Bundled with Chinese verison Docs (1. --LANG=en_US Default 2. --LANG=zh_CN Docs in Chinese)
./makefile.sh --LANG=zh_CN
# Generate EFI release for both 10th and 8th Gen (1. --MODEL=CML Only 10th Gen 2. --MODEL=KBL Default, only 8th Gen 3. --MODEL=CMLKBL Both 10th and 8th Gen)
./makefile.sh --MODEL=CMLKBL
# Preserve work files during the building stage
./makefile.sh --NO_CLEAN_UP
# Use GitHub API
./makefile.sh --GH_API
# Build the latest beta EFI with pre-release kexts and OpenCore (1. --PRE_RELEASE=Kext Pre-release kexts 2. --PRE_RELEASE=OC Pre-release OpenCore 3. --PRE_RELEASE=KextOC Both pre-release kexts and OpenCore)
./makefile.sh --PRE_RELEASE=KextOC

Upgrade

  • If you are using XiaoMi-Pro with 8th Gen CPU, then it's a KBL (Kaby Lake) machine. (Actually Kaby Lake Refresh)
  • If you are using XiaoMi-Pro with 10th Gen CPU, then it's a CML (Comet Lake) machine.
  • Download the latest EFI release from the release page or beta EFI release from artifacts in the action page.
  • Mount EFI partition by running sudo diskutil list first to find your EFI partition identifier and then running sudo diskutil mount diskXsX (X is extracted from your EFI partition identifier)
  • A complete replacement of BOOT and OC(or CLOVER) folders is required. Delete these two folders and copy them from the release pack.

Improvements

  • Use Hackintool to inject EDID (AAPL00,override-no-connect)
  • Change #enable-backlight-smoother to enable-backlight-smoother in config.plist to adjust the panel brightness smoothly
  • Use xzhih's one-key-hidpi to improve quality of system UI
    • Support 1424x802 HiDPI resolution
    • TM1701: On macOS > 10.13.6, to enable higher HiDPI resolution (can not exceed 1520x855), you need to use DVMT_and_0xE2_fix to set DVMT to 64mb
  • Enable AppleVTD by patching OEM DMAR table according to How to Fix DMAR Table on macOS | Memory Mapping; user has to update the patching after every BIOS update
  • Add forceRenderStandby=0 in config - NVRAM - Add - 7CXXX - boot-args (OpenCore) or config - Boot - Arguments (Clover) if NVMe Kernel Panic CSTS=0xffffffff occurs
  • Use NVMeFix to enable APST on NVMe SSDs
  • TM1701 & TM1707: Use ALCPlugFix to fix unworking jack after replug

FAQ

I can't click to drag or right click using the trackpad.

Starts from VoodooI2C v2.4.1, the click down action is emulated to force touch, which causes the failure of click down and drag and right click gestures. You can turn off Force Click in SysPref - Trackpad, and I recommend enabling three finger drag in SysPref - Accessibility - Mouse & Trackpad - Trackpad Options.

My screen turns to black and has no response during the updating process.

If you have black screen for five minutes and get no response from the device, please force restart your laptop(Long press power button) and choose Boot macOS Install from ~ entry.

Stuck on Apple logo or fail to boot.

A reset of NVRAM is recommended. For Clover users, press Fn+F11 when you are in Clover boot page.
For OC users, press Space key when you are in OpenCore boot page and choose Reset NVRAM. If this does not work, you can try to set SecureBootModel to Disabled in config.plist.

No OEM update from SysPref.

For OC users, on macOS11+, SecureBootModel has to be Default to get OEM update from SysPref. However, some machines can not boot when SecureBootModel = Default. In this case, go to App Store and search Monterey (or newer macOS).

My device is locked by Find My Mac and can't be booted, what should I do now?

For Clover users, press Fn+F11 when you are in Clover boot page. Then Clover will refresh nvram.plist, and lock message should be removed.
For OC users, press Esc to enter the boot menu during startup. Then, press Space key and choose Reset NVRAM.

[Clover] I opened the FileVault, and I can't find macOS partition in Clover boot page, how can I solve it?

It is not recommended to open FileVault. You can press Fn+F3 in the Clover boot page and choose the icon with FileVault. Then you can boot in the system and close FileVault.

[OC] How to skip the boot menu and automatically boot into the system?

First, in macOS, open SysPref - Startup Disk. Choose the target system.
Then, open /EFI/OC/config.plist, and turn off ShowPicker.
When you want to switch OS, press Esc during startup to call the boot menu.

[OC] How to not make the OpenCore the default bootloader?

Open config.plist and change value of LauncherOption from Full to System.

[OC] How to enable startup chime? (TM1701 & TM1707)

Enable AudioDxe.efi in config.plist - UEFI - Drivers.
Enable AudioSupport in config.plist - UEFI - Audio.
If you are using macOS Big Sur, go to SysPref - Sound and turn on Play sound on startup.
For macOS version < Big Sur, open Terminal.app and run sudo nvram StartupMute=%00.
