OpenCore: 0.9.9

Partially based on johnnynunez/Xiaomi-Mi-Air

Updating

If you are updating from macOS 13 - Ventura, you must pay attention to the fact that SMBIOS has changed in order to recieve the Sonoma update.

This means that you have to log out of iCloud before updating the EFI. You can also delete iCloud leftovers by following this guide to be extra safe. And then you will have to regenerate the serial number with GenSMBIOS (as described in the Notes section below).

After updating the EFI, reset NVRAM on first boot (press Spacebar when on boot picker, and select Reset NVRAM).

You can then proceed with the update as you normally would on a Mac. Open System Settings, check for updates, and install Sonoma. You can then log back into iCloud. Your PC will be detected as an entirely new device. Make sure to delete stale login entries from your device list.

Status

Mostly perfect. Apart from the fact that the hardware itself is old and slow.

Notes

While the config itself is ready to use, you still need to generate your own serial numbers and tweak the config accordingly before installing the system.

Xiaomi does not allow to change CFG lock in UEFI settings, so you will have to manually patch your UEFI to remove CFG lock. I do not remember how I did it myself, but I'm sure it's nothing a DuckDuckGo search can't solve. You might want to take a look here.

After installing, you might be interested in enabling secure boot.

You can also disable on-screen logging once you're sure that your system is stable.

Boot chime is enabled.
