OpenCore_Asus_X441UV

OpenCore EFI bootloader for Asus X441UV

asusx441uv

Introduction

Hackintoshing is not user-friendly for beginner (in my personal experience). If you are not familiar with OS installation and such, please consider to try installing linux first and use it for some time. This project aims to simplify post-installation EFI setup for Asus X441UV user.

Instruction

Clone or download
Install MacOS with your preferred method. Olarila Clover Vanilla for easy steps, but in step 7 afterward just copy this repo EFI folder instead of Olarila EFI folder.
Mount EFI drive. You can use MountEFI or Clover Configurator.
Copy this repo EFI folder to /Volumes/EFI/ so it will looks like this:

/Volumes/EFI/EFI/BOOT
/Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC

Reboot.

Notes

  • OpenCore 0.6.6
  • Tested on Catalina 10.15.7. ==> still testing on BigSur
  • This configuration include AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock fix under Kernel -> Quirks which may cause instability in long term use. Please refer to this guide for better permanent solution.
  • I replaced my wifi card for dual band wireless support. Look at this for wifi fix.
  • USB 3.0/2.0 ports were manually mapped with USBMap, if some ports doesn't work consider using USBInjectAll.kext or remap by yourself.
  • Follow this guide for updating OpenCore and kexts.
