What's working

  • Audio (Input & Output)
  • iGPU
  • ACPI Display brightness
  • Ethernet
  • Sleep + Wake
  • Smart Touchpad + Gestures
  • WiFi (2.4Ghz and 5GHz)
  • Native hotkey support with Fn keys
  • iServices (Messages, FaceTime, etc.)

What's not working

  • GTX 1650 (macOS does not support recent Nvidia GPUs).
  • HDMI port (since it's connected to the GTX 1650).
  • Micron 2200 series SSD won't support. Have to disable in BIOS before booting.

If you still want to use an external monitor, you can by a USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter.

The one I'm currently using is: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B013G4CJM8/?coliid=I21IXZ0W5ZAFHX&colid=IWBALZYIADBW&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

If anyone interested to buy, DM Me on any of my social mentioned in Profile. I have one to sell.

Installation

How To Install

  • Format your USB "non-bootable" using RUFUS and delete any leftover in USB(autoruns).
  • Create directory "EFI" in your EFI Partition (eg. Pendrive or Haarddrive).
  • Clone this repo and paste contents of "EFI" directory (BOOT and OC) onto created directory.
  • Download GenSMBIOS to generate unique SMBIOS information. Run it and select Generate SMBIOS, as model select MacBookPro16,4.
  • Open config.plist with ProperTree and go to platforminfo > Generic. Set MLB( Board Serial), SystemSerialNumber(Serial), and SystemUUID (SmUUID) to generate values.
  • Boot it!.

First-time installation

  • Set-up the BIOS configuration:
    • Boot to BIOS by pressing F2 during boot.
    • In the Main screen, enable F12 boot menu, disable Fast Boot, then press Ctrl+S and change the new SATA mode option to AHCI.
    • In the Boot screen, disable secure boot.
    • Finally, go to the Exit screen and select "Exit saving changes".
  • Read through the following tutorial to create a bootable USB, and then place the EFI folder inside it:
  • You should add Serial Number, UUID, MLB and ROM details to Config -> PlatformInfo -> Generic if you want to get iServices working as explained here.

Post Install

  • Clone the ComboJack repo and run the installer inside the ComboJack_Installer folder to get the jack port working correctly.
  • Run the following commands for sleep wake:
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
    sudo pmset -a standby 0
    sudo pmset -a proximitywake 0

acer-nitro-5-an515-54-big-sur's Issues

Stuck on Apple logo

I got an Acer Nitro 5 an515-58 and thought it would work for me, but gets stuck on the Apple screen, any fixes?

Reboots to picker

Hi after selecting usb.dmg and waiting to be loaded it reboots me to the picker no errors showing

Help with ComboJacker

First of all, I'd like to thank you for your help! Thanks to your repo I've managed to turn my Nitro 5 in a Hackintosh. Only problem I got so far is ComboJacker and I have two questions about it:

  • How to install it? I've tried to run the install script but it won't run;
  • Currently my headset microphone doesn't work. Will ComboJacker fix it?

I'm sorry if these are noob questions, but I'm very new to Hackintosh world 😀

Battery drain too fast

My battery when on usage is only about 1.5 hours and if lucky I got around 2 hours. How long can your laptop battery last?
My specs:
nitro 5 an515-54
i5 9300
gtx 1650
everything else work fine. Only the battery drain too fast make me worry.
Thanks
