FAQ

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

I believe there are many ways to solve this problem. I give a most understandable one here (at least for me). The solution is to refresh your BIOS in order to clean nvram.plist. Please read How to update BIOS in BIOS folder.

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

It is not recommened 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.

My touchpad isn't working after update.

You need to rebuild the kext cache after every system update. Use Kext Utility.app or type sudo kextcache -i / in Terminal.app. Then restart. If this still doesn't work, try to press F9.

I can't boot in Windows/Linux by using Clover, but able to boot by press F12 and select OS.

Many people met this problem by using the new version of AptioMemoryFix.efi. A workaround is to delete AptioMemoryFix-64.efi in /CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ and replace it with the old version provided in #93.

Installation

Please refer to the detailed installation tutorial Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro High Sierra 10.13.6 or video tutorial Xiaomi NoteBook PRO HACKINTOSH INSTALLATION GUIDE !!!.

If the tracpad doesn't work during installation, please plug a wired mouse or a wireless mouse projector before the installation. After the installation completes, open Terminal.app and type sudo kextcache -i /. Wait for the process ending and restart the device. Enjoy your trackpad!
