Bootloader information

OpenCore: 1.0.1

What's Working

  • CPU Power Management
  • Graphics acceleration
  • Display functions (Color, Brightness, etc)
  • Wifi
  • Bluetooth
  • Trackpad (multitouch and gesture support)
  • Keyboard
  • USB Ports
  • USB Type-C (and likely Thunderbolt too)
  • Webcam
  • Audio
  • Mic
  • Sleep/Wake

What's Broken

  • iService (iMessage, FaceTime). The problem is unsupported AirportItlwm.kext. It worked well in Monterey with itlwm.kext. Someone says you can use itlwm.kext with HeliPort in Sonoma, but I've tried and it's still not working.
  • Nvidia GPU (Apple removed support for Nvidia GPU)
  • HDMI (HDMI is connected to Nvidia GPU, since it's disabled then HDMI is not working)

BIOS Settings

Disable

  • Fast Boot (disable - optional)
  • Secure Boot
  • Thunderbolt Boot Support
  • Intel Bios Guard Support
  • VT-d (If you need VT-d to be enabled, enable DisableIoMapper quirk in config.plist)
  • CFG-Lock (Hidden Settings, press R-CTRL R-Shift L-ALT F2, if you can't disable CFG-Lock enable AppleXcpmCfgLock quirk)

Enable

  • Hyper-Threading
  • XHCI Hand-off
  • SATA Mode: AHCI

Notes

  • I highly recommend building your own files by following Dortania's excellent guide. it will help you understand the big picture and how to use my files correctly. After you went through all the guide, you can use my files as a reference.
  • You need to generate your own SMBIOS, see Dortania's Guide. I spoof my device as MacBookPro16,1.
  • If it somehow failed to boot with all my files, the problem is likely to be the DSDT.aml. DSDT is known to be unique to each devices. You will have to make your own DSDT and fix it with patches. I use SSDTTine by CorpNewt to create SSDT on Windows.
