Razerblade2020-Hackintosh Hits

BigSur

Hackintosh guide for Razerblade 2020 model (includes base, advanced, pro)
If you have a question, You can open the issue. (But I'm a beginner so It's not very helpful)
And content additions and corrections are always welcome :) Please fix the awkward English

Currently I no longer use a hackintosh, and I can't vouch for this setup to work with the latest Opencore.
Also, many of the guides I referenced have been erased, so it may be difficult to follow these guides anymore.
You can find other guide like https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/
Works pretty well with the Razer Blade, except for the fact that you have to flash the bios to adjust the DVMT settings.

Intro

This repository will guide you to install macOS bigsur on your razerblade.

EFI folder based on steelbrain's hackintosh guide ;)
(I modified little bit that repository for bigsur)

What will work

  • 144Hz display (I don't know about 300Hz but I think it will work)
  • iGPU (Intel UHD Graphics 630)
  • Audio
  • Battery Check
  • Touch Pad
  • USB port
  • Bluetooth
  • Wifi
  • Sidecar and Airplay
  • iCloud

What will not work

  • Sleep works but not works well
  • dGPU (ex. 2070 Max-q)
  • Airdrop

Supplies

  • your RazerBlade 2020 (It doesn't matter if it's base or advanced or pro)
  • USB flash drive (16GB or more, recommend 32GB)
  • CH341a hardware programmer
  • SOP8 clip for CH341a
  • SSD (not PM981 or PM991)
  • considerable patience and courage

Make install USB via VMware

Follow this guide to install macOS on VMware.

Until downloading and Installing VMware and macOS, you have to make EFI partition on your USB drive. Follow this

Open macOS on VMware, format your USB drive to APFS and make boot USB with this guide

Mount USB drive's EFI partiton via follow this guide

Add EFI folder on this repository to your USB drive's EFI partition

Modify BIOS, Add SSD

If you plug your macOS boot USB and boot your laptop with it, the macOS installer will not work.

To fix this, we have to change DVMT settings on BIOS setup.
But Razer locked that so we have to modify BIOS.

Unfortunatly, Razer locked BIOS on RazerBlade 2020 version, so you cant flash modified BIOS with AFUWINGUI.

So you have to flash modified BIOS with CH341a and SOP8 clip.

Download original BIOS ROM file from RazerUpdater or read your BIOS with AFUWINGUI
Modify your BIOS with AMIBCP(v5.02 recommended) to unlock DVMT option.
And flash your modified BIOS with CH341a hardware programmer. This will help you <-- It has erased.

Also, you should add SSD on blank M.2 slot. macOS will not install on RazerBlade's PM981.

Install macOS

Enter your BIOS setup. change DVMT pre-alloc to 64MB, and change DVMT max-alloc to MAX.

Plug your USB drive, select Big Sur installer, and install macOS.

Your PC can reboot several times when installing.

And.. Done! Enjoy your new MacBlade! :)

Set GRUB for multi boot

If you want multibooting macOS and Linux(and Windows) and yout dont want to use OpenCore
You can set GRUB on Linux for it. Reddit will help

You have to write boot sequence script for grub. It's not much different from writing the boot sequence for another OS like Windows.
