Installation

Identify Your Model

If you are using XiaoMi-Pro with 8th Gen CPU, then it's a KBL (Kaby Lake) machine. (Actually Kaby Lake Refresh)
If you are using XiaoMi-Pro with 10th Gen CPU, then it's a CML (Comet Lake) machine.
You will need this information when you download the EFI release.

First-time installation

donot_clone_or_download

get_release

Build

  • Build the latest beta EFI by running the following command in Terminal:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh/main/makefile.sh)"
  • Or run the following command in Terminal:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh.git
cd XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh
./makefile.sh
  • Some advanced usages are:
# Ignore errors when the script is running
./makefile.sh --IGNORE_ERR
# Bundled with Chinese verison Docs
./makefile.sh --LANG=zh_CN
# Generate EFI release for Comet Lake model
./makefile.sh --MODEL=CML
# Preserve work files during the building stage
./makefile.sh --NO_CLEAN_UP

FAQ

My touchpad isn't working after update.

You need to rebuild the kext cache after every system update. Use Kext Utility.app or type sudo kextcache -i / in Terminal.app. Then restart. If this still doesn't work, try to press F9.

I can't click to drag files using the trackpad.

Starts from VoodooI2C v2.4.1, the click down action is emulated to force touch, which causes the failure of click down and drag gestures. You can turn off Force Click in SysPref - Trackpad or choose three finger drag in SysPref - Accessibility - Mouse & Trackpad - Trackpad Options.

My screen turns to black and has no response during the updating process.

If you have black screen for five minutes and get no response from the device, please force restart your laptop(Long press power button) and choose Boot macOS Install from ~ entry.

My device is locked by Find My Mac and can't be booted, what should I do now?
