MacOS effort for Xiaomi Mi Notebook & Gaming laptop series

    First of all sorry for my English. I found HF.de to be a very attractive place for discussion about Hackintosh effort in general. I will make an effort to translate all post into German after my initial release statement.

    This post is to start of with to create a build for all Xiaomi Notbook (Air / Pro) & Gaming Laptop series. As I got my hands on a couple of these laptops within these series I decided to build a general build.
    I'll update the post in the near future with in-detail install instructions. For support and downloads please refer to the github project page and open an issue. Below you will find the release notes:

    I am sorry to bother you but you are my last hope! Before all, thank you very much for all the efforts you are putting into this project because Xiaomi Notebooks are a real piece of gold in the hackintosh scenario so it is important that more and more people focuses on them.


    Now let's go back to the topic: I downloaded your EFI folder and put it in my vanilla USB installer (made with terminal), the installer boots up but the touchpad doesn't work. Unless I didn't get it wrong, from what you wrote, the touchpad should have been working during the installer, too. So since I don't have an USB hub at the very moment, I want to know if I did something wrong.


    THANK YOU <3


    UPDATE: Finally I managed to install the OS with a USB mouse attached to an hub. Almost everything works out of the box, but I not the touchpad, wich doesn't recognise two fingers scroll or two fingers right button click.
    I've uploaded my CLOVER folder and outputs from IoReg, Hackintosh Info script and two images from DCPI manager.

    Hi, I bought xiaomi gaming laptop 8th (2018).


    XiaoMi Gaming Laptop Intel Core I7-8750H GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 16GB RAM DDR4 256GB 15.6"


    I replaced the internal hard drive with a 10.13.6 clone and copied the EFI but the system does not start. Do you have any ideas on how to solve the problem?

    Are u disabled the 1060 in Bios?

    he needs to run only the Iris Pro 630

    And can you take a Picture from verbose boot?

    Experte ist nicht immer gleich Expertise

    no, I checked the bios but I can not disable NVIDIA.so the NVIDIA is not compatible with 10.13.6?
    when I start in verbose, the monitor turns black and I do not see anything .. I think the notebook is blocked.

    Is the disk image you cloned from the same model and BIOS version? If not, you need to reinstall. You shouldn't disable Nvidia GPU because you have a 1060 that is not a mobile version, so you can try to download the web drivers for high sierra and see if the GPU works.

    In the worst scenario you could try setting a desktop SMBIOS, but first, try to reinstall and use web drivers.

    Mi Gaming Laptop is not covered in my build yet. Sorry. You should first create your installation USB with appropriate EFI. In your case you could try out the Mi Notebook Pro build as it is close to your HW config. It still needs changes though!

    You can use "cVad's Boot Disk Utility" to create a macOS recovery stick from Windows. This will enable you to use internet install. Of course you need to make sure to have a working internet connection which isn't always possible on a Hackintosh during the installation process.

    LG Chris

    Thanks for the hint. I'll add it to the instructions.

    Hi guys. The build is updated to Mojave and now comes with base clock speed of 600mhz under low loads (~6 hours of battery life). Also support for i5 7y54 has been added. Also added @CMMChris mention regarding the internet installer. Please check the repo on Github or let me know in case you run into an issue.
