will be a r/MatebookXPro exclusive :) Thank you~
My Matebook X Pro's Hardware Configuration:

• CPU: i7-8550U @ 1.8GHz
• 16GB RAM
• Nvidia GTX MX 150 / Intel UHD 620
• 3K display @ 3000x2000
• 512 Gb Toshiba SSD
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Lunch :)
First, there are some things you should know if you want to
hackintosh your system:
What works:
• Intel UHD 620 Graphics Acceleration (we are using a CoffeeLake platform-id for
now, will try to switch to native Kabylake graphics)
• Realtek alc256 Audio via VoodooHDA (please help generate a custom AppleHda
layout if you want to help, right now all existing layouts makes the tweeters work)
• Keyboard with Volume Controls (via VoodooPS2)
• HDMI + Thunderbolt 3 (TB3 at least works as a display output, not sure about
other functionality)
• Camera support up to 10.14.0
• Trackpad and Native Gestures via VoodooI2c (Four fingers support is not well
implemented, please try using five fingers as a substitution)
• Touchscreen with multi-touch capabilities (think of it as a large trackpad)
• Battery Percentage (via ACPIBatteryManager)
• Bluetooth (Not stable, further examination is required)
• Power Management
• Wifi via USB dongle
What doesn't Work:

• Brightness and Sleep (Likely due to spoofing Coffeelake Graphics)
• dGPU (Nvidia Optimus not supported on MacOS)
• eGPU (not tested)
• Fingerprint Sensor
• Intel Wifi (soldered onto the motherbaord)
*HDMI and VGA is a bit weird to start, but it works.

Requirements:
1 or 2 USB 16+ GB flash drives (2 is better for post install stuffs). Acceptance that this
will not be perfect. And lastly, Patience.
So now that we've gotten that out of the way, lets began.
Step 1. Creating the bootable USB

\If you have a Mac book, you can skip this step*
First we need to be in a mac OS environment, so we will need to create a virtual

machine. Adhere to this guide to get started.
https://techsviewer.com/install-macos-high-sierra-vmware-windows/
https://techsviewer.com/install-macos-mojave-vmware-windows/
II . Downloading the bootloader and Mojave Installer
Now that we are in a Mac environment, we will download our core tools to make the
USB installer.
First, download the Mac OS Mojave Installer. Don't click anything when it finishes. It will
most likely auto open, so just leave it there. Download the installer from here, as
the app store one will most likely give you the wrong installer.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1leeIszys4k_njCghWbVebzzMvNfYvhC1
Next download the clover boot loader from this link.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/
III . Now you will need to get your USB ready.

We will format the USB correctly with the use of terminal. in r/MatebookXPro
In terminal, type: X

diskutil list Closed?
This will provide a list of all disks and its partitions. Find out what your USB is named.
It's probably something like /dev/disk1s0
Next you will need to put these lines into terminal. (Replace /dev/disk___ with
whatever your disk is located at)
# repartition /dev/disk1 MBR, two partitions

# first partition, "CLOVER EFI" FAT32, 200MiB
# second partition, "install_osx", HFS+J, remainder
diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk1 2 MBR FAT32 "CLOVER EFI" 200Mi HFS+J
"install_osx" R
The output should look something like this:

Now, on the desktop, you should have 2 USB partitions.
Closed?
One will be named CLOVER EFI, and the other Install_OSX.
Now, we will make the bootloader using this program:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/
First, click "Change Install Location and change it to CLOVER EFI"
Now, click "Customize"
You need to select the following:

"Install for UEFI booting only"
Under themes, select "BGM"
Under "Drivers64UEFI" we need to select the following:

OsxAptioFIxDrv-64.efi
ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi
VboxHfs-64.efi
After your done with these, select "Install"
When it is done installing, open up the partition on the USB named "CLOVER EFI"
Download the "CLOVER" folder from this link:
https://github.com/Darrenpan20/Matebook-X-Pro-Mojave-hackintosh-
*Be sure to download the one that says "for the bootable USB". After you
install it to the SSD later, you'll need the other one.
Open up "CLOVER EFI" and then click "EFI". There should already be a clover folder
there. Replace it with the one you just downloaded.
*Important: If you have a samsung or LiteOn NVME SSD, you most likely will
need an extra patch, refer to this guide:
https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme I cannot make this patch because
its unique to every system and I have a Toshiba.
(Kexts are located at /EFI/Clover/kexts Just add the kext into there)
For liteon, you can try to add this to the "kextstopatch" section

Now that the boot-loader's done, we need to get the Mojave installer on the SSD.
Go back to terminal and input this line:
# copy installer image

Now, here you will drag the downloaded Installer into terminal. Conversely, you could
try to move the installer from the downloads folder to the Applications folder.
If you want to try to move it to the applications folder, input this line into terminal:
sudo "/Applications/Install macOS
Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume
/Volumes/install_osx --nointeraction
If you just left it in the downloads folder, type in sudo first, then drag into terminal the
Mojave Installation app, and finally, copy the rest beginning with /Contents. Here is an
example of what it should look like in terminal:
sudo "(drag into terminal where ever the Mojave installer
is)/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/install_osx -
-nointeraction
Then rename it with the line:
# rename
sudo diskutil rename "Install macOS Mojave" install_osx
Congrats, you have now made your USB, and are halfway finished.
Before we go to the next step, I urge you to create a post install USB or you will have a

Step 2: BIOS settings and Booting the USB

Before we boot up, we need to change some BIOS options. Boot into windows and go
to settings. Then navigate to "Update and Security" and then "Recovery".
Select "Advanced Startup"
Wait a few seconds, it will boot into a blue screen with many options.
Click "Troubleshoot" then "Advanced Options" and then "UEFI Firmware
Settings."
When you get to the bios menu, turn off safe boot.
Now boot back into windows, go back to settings, Update and Security, Advanced
Startup.
Now click "Use a device" and select to use a USB Device.
When you reboot choose the USB you used and you should see clover pop up.
Installation
Prepare a USB mouse and keyboard.
Now, use your arrow keys to move the cursor to the installer and press enter. It should
take a while to boot up so give it some time.
If it doesn't boot up, boot back to the USB, use your arrow keys to go all the way
down to "Options". Click on it and use your arrow keys to navigate down to "Graphics
Injector". Click on it and scroll all the way down to "FakeID" Press enter once and put
in 0x12345678. Once your done, press enter again to be able to navigate. You also
want to make sure "InjectIntel" is checked for this.
Now you should be in the installer screen. Click "Disk

< > Utility".

https://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/133940-mavericks-windows-8-
same-drive-without-erasing.html This guide is ONLY about installing Mac OS
to your Matebook X Pro laptop.
Now, drag how much space you want Mojave to take up. Then, format it to "Mac OS X
Extended (Journaled)"
Now exit out of it and select the install button. Agree to the terms and let it do its
thing.
(The installation is a 2 part process)
Once the computer reboots, it will go back to the clover bootloader. This time, you will
select "Boot macOS install from..." or it may say " Boot OS X from (Your
Partition name) " Now it may or may not reboot again.
If you get back to the clover screen, select "Boot OS X from (Your Partition
Name)".
\Again, if it doesn't boot, just use the FakeID method. This will just load the
OS without a GPU for the time being.*
Now, once you set everything up, you should be in Mojave.
Step 3: Post Install
Get your extra USB with all the tools we downloaded and plug it in. Open up the Clover
installer "Clover_V2.4k"
Change the install location to your SSD partition and select the same options as we did
before in step 1. This time, we will also click, "Install RC scripts on target volume"
and "Install all RC scripts on all other boot volumes".
Now open up "EFI Mounter v3" and mount the partition. It should be /dev/disk0s1 for
the internal SSD.
Again, navigate inside the EFI folder and replace the CLOVER folder inside with the
other clover folder that says "after you install". Also, when you replace it, rename it to
CLOVER, instead of "CLOVER after install". (I had to name it that because github
wouldn't allow the same 2 names to be put with different descriptions).
https://github.com/Darrenpan20/Matebook-X-Pro-Mojave-hackintosh-

that it'll ask for your password and then take a few more seconds to complete. Don't

After that , open up the "VoodooHDA" package and install that. This will make your

Now reboot a few times, and everything mentioned should be working, even

Thanks so much. Look forward to trying this. Flying to Poland tomorrow but will give it
a shot when I’m back. I have a razed core and a 1080ti so can test eGPU compatibility.
Oh... actually I’m not sure nVidia released drivers for Mojave yet. Will check.

In the virtual machine. Download and run this script.

https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme It should create a custom
NVME SSD kext for your system. Then place it into the kexts folder.
/EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/OTHERS. Keep in mind, when you install the
bootloader to your internal SSD, you will also need to copy that into
the kexts folder. Be sure to read the entire READ.MD and follow the
instructions near to end of it to create the kext. You may also need
to add this in your config.plist

What USB dongle are you using or recommend?

This is something I cant really answer for you. Personal preference will take over.
Personally I use a $10 TL-WN725n nano adapter, but that signals not the greatest
and I may get a new one. However, that would mean I would sacrifice the nano size
for some bigger with stronger speeds. It’s your choice
I have trouble with the first boot. Clover shows up as it should, I do the gpu injection
step, and then I see the Apple logo and a loading bar as I should. But then it just
suddenly reboots, and I'm back in Windows. Any advice?
Did you make sure Inject Intel is checked, and fake ID is 0x12345678? What
happens if you let it boot normally? You may have to use a default HD620 plist
from rehabman first boot then if that doesn’t work.
There's no difference whether I check it or not.
If I use the HD620 plist from rehabman's GitHub, the booting Apple logo is
smaller. It doesn't crash, it just freezes.
Your plist crashes and causes a reboot.

Once you get in and install, replace it with my config.
you mean use his Clover version (from here)? Do I change any defaults?
Or should I just follow the guide here?
Also thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it!

No, this https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config

use the HD620 one and replace it with the config in the USB partition
/EFI/CLOVER. Rename it to config.plist and then boot it up with
Inject Intel On, and Fake ID of 0x12345678. After it gets installed,
and you install the bootloader to the SSD, use my config thats linked
in the github.
I tried that, it just gets stuck booting (I see black screen with
Apple logo, and the progress bar stuck in the middle). This
happens whether I inject the 0x12345678 or not. I used this
config file, and otherwise followed your guide.
Press the space bar on top of the “install osx” partition and
check the verbose button. It usually takes around 3-5
minutes to boot up. Do this with inject intel and fake ID

Probably not the right place to ask. But I couldn't root down an answer elsewhere. I
can't even install Clover for some reason on VM.

Are you installing it to the USB?

No ofc not. Can't even do that. I'm installing to the virtual harddrive from

Why are you trying to install it to the VM? That makes no sense. It needs to
be on the Bootable USB first.

Just saying external keyboard isn't actually needed. External mouse is however needed
It’s just there for safe proof. The installer sometimes nags about keyboard and
mouse.
Ahhh
[–] antekm 1 point 10 days ago
Maybe worth to add a note that it's worth to try without keyboard? I postponed
a process for a while trying to get one :) and it wasn't needed - and I think that
the worst that would happen without one was that you wouldn't be able to start
the installation
[–] cooking_irony 1 point 1 month ago
is it possible to get sleep & brightness fixed? im fine with all the other trade-offs but
not sleep so if it's possible to fix it in a future update I'll hold out for now
Brightness can be adjusted with brightness slider from the App Store. Not real
brightness, but it does brighten and dim the screen effectively like native
brightness. Though in the background, brightness is at max so the battery life is
around 5 hours. Sleep is an icky subject and we’re not sure how long it’ll take us to
fix. However, hang tight!
nice! by the way im quite confused if wireless logitech keyboards and mice
(those with the Bluetooth dongles) will work for the setup
I don’t think so sorry. It might if it has its own little Bluetooth connector,
which most wireless mouses have Edit:just saw you said it had its own
dongle. Frankly, I’m not sure. Last time I tried to plug in one for my mouse
it registered the mouse as a wireless keyboard so
I just asked the hackintosh discord server and apparently they'll get
picked up as ordinary usb devices which is great

[–] kpcheang 1 point 1 month ago Is It Possible To Turn On My MBXPro While
Thanks so much for this guide ! Closed?
I have the same i7 Huawei Matebook X Pro specs as yours listed at top of this guide.
I managed to install per your guide and completed the initial Mojave setup based on
external USB SDD instead of overwriting the internal Win10 SSD.
However after I completed the post install portion, upon rebooting from the Mojave
external SSD partition, the Apple logo will appear with the timeline progress bar and
midway through it just reboots itself.
Even when I tried the fake inject 0x12345678 method the same reboot issue remains.
However if reboot from the pre-install USB Clover and select to start the Mojave external
SSD partition, it starts up the OS beautifully.....though my trackpad and touchscreen is
still not working so I make do with the USB mouse.
How to make it boot up from the Mojave external SSD partition Clover ?
Did I miss anything as to why my trackpad and touchscreen is not working ?
Thanks !
What is your BIOS version?

[–] kpcheang 1 point 1 month ago
Just realized it was 1.17

After updating Bios to v1.18 the trackpad and touchscreen is working now ;-)
But I noticed I lost the 3000 x 2000 screen resolution. In fact it defaulted to a
lower screen resolution....the max I could change was up to 2048 x 1366 under
"Scaled".
How do I get back the 3000 x 2000 which was the default prior to my Bios
update ?
3000x2000 is not possible. Everything is too small so it scales it down to

1500x1000 via HiDPi. Are graphics working?
Not possible? But before I encountered the issue of the trackpad and
touchscreen not working and before updating my Bios to v1.18 while
booting using the 1st USB Clover boot and selecting the Mojave external
SSD partition my screen was fine and everything looks small as 3000 x
2000 resolution.
For now the graphics worked fine.

it will work. It has Mac OS drivers available.
I tried using the TP-Link Archer T2U AC600 usb wifi dongle
and installed the latest MacOS driver from their website but
the wifi utility refuse to work.
After some google, I used the KextBeast utility to install the

worked ! Was able to connect via USB wifi ;-)
How’s the USB WiFi? Is it any god? The range, speeds,

Thanks a lot man for your awesome work, when i got some time I will test it .
Hi Man. Thanks for all your help so far.

Ok so I can install mojave on to my external ssd.
However osx crashes at around 1/3 of the loading bar (black bg, white apple logo,
white loading bar) once I use your “clover after install” folder.
I’ve installed intelCFLGraphics kext with kext utility once in the OS with the original
clover folder. Tried booting with and without fake ID 0x12345678.
Booting on a 500gb external SSD. Tried on a usb 3 port and type C.

Yeah, looks like everyone who had a problem fixed it when updating to latest BIOS!
Sure enough... IT WORKED!

Just saw it right at the top of your thread. Might be worth putting this in the

Oh MAN this looks and works so smoothly! Its crazy how well the trackpad

working for me, just had to swap out the samsung pm981 with a 960 pro nvme.

have you taken a look at this? https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-

mi pro seems to have pretty similar hardware. they use a different platform/device id
for uhd 620 that seems to work when i swap out your pci patches for theirs in
config.plist. they also have some acpi patches for refinements like brightness hotkey,
could maybe be adapted to matebook x pro.

Panics and reboot is not related to the SSD patch. The patch is for OSX to

properties is a much better method now. If you did all the steps and it didn’t work,
perhaps you missed something, or your bios isn’t version 1.18. Their are various
laptops with this CPU. MX150 doesn’t matter as its permanently disables anyways.
Every laptop is different and unique. Different hardware paths, etc. I haven’t bothered
with brightness keys as brightness doesn’t even work right now.
But glad you got it installed and working!
[–] gattis 1 point 1 month ago*
yeah realized the patch was just to get it recognized, and mine was already
recognized by mojave (which is weird because it shouldn't pass the 4k LBA test
it seems to be doing from the disassembly, but could be a different mojave
version). issue is that some nvme SSDs get recognized but drivers are unstable
for them and Samsung PM981 is one of them. some people seemed to have
some luck after a firmware update to the PM981 controller -
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-fix-pm981-in-10-13-3-
17d47.245063/. which i never tried, but I couldn't get through install without
panic and reboot. even not reading/writing to it and installing to external usb
ssd would cause reboot. i had to disable the "HDD" device option in bios in
order to get mojave installed on the usb drive and stable. ssd replacement was
a breeze though, just a dozen or so small screws. bios was/is definitely 1.18
and 100% sure of the PM981 causality after at least 100 reboots trying to
figure it out.
p.s. thanks a bunch! seems to run more snappily on os x than windows. might
be close to figuring out brightness/sleep and will desolder my wifi chipset for a
compatible one and dual boot mojave and a linux distro from now on. changed
my game!
Yeah then it was just the SSD that was causing the issue. Is the 981 the
default one that is shipped with the Matebook? Could be not enough
patches, did patch wrong, missed some stuff. Who knows. I read that path
is it has quite a few things to patch and read. It’s rather pretty confusing. I
think I snuck an extra patch inside on accident that may have caused the
980 to get recognized haha

Thanks for the help and the awesome guide. This is probably unrelated
but during attempt number one, I messed up my windows side and had

I did that too, just follow one of the guides here that tell you the

My fingerprint is all good, but the button doesn’t work. Pressing

Did everybody install it on external SSD? Nobody tried dual boot?

Multiple people have installed on external ones. I am a.m. triple booting windows,
Arch, and Mojave on my internal SSD
is there a guide/link for correct way of repartitioning internal SSD without

having to reinstall windows? thanks in advance
I put a link in the guide,but start by downloading “Minitool partition wizard”

I have the dual boot working. But when I upgrade it to 10.14.1, it added
an option "install from (my drive)" and it loops when I choose it and
never finishes update installation.
That’s because it’s loading apples default kext when you upgraded. It
overrides my patches graphics kext... Why did you upgrade? Camera
doesn’t work on 10.14.1. I do have a different method that will allow
graphics to work with out the patched kext.. Boot into OSX with your
usb flash drive inserted. It will use the EFI partition for the USB
instead of the internal. It’ll load without graphics but you just need
to get into the EFI. I’ll send a config.plist later. Just replace the
current one with it..
just thought that the upgrade badge on settings is annoying. :) .

I don't use camera anyway. Also I am a little worried that if i fall
behind the current version too much, it would be hard to
upgrade. Based on what you tell me, i probably want to hold of
upgrading.
THanks so much for the fast turnaround. Really appreciate.

Successfully installed on a 1tb Samsung 960 evo. Dual booting with windows 10.
Seems stable. Still super impressed. Getting 2700mb/s read and 1800mb/s write
which seems alright (not as quick as windows weirdly)!
Can I ask about bluetooth which is currently in the "working" section (albeit with your
note saying it needs stabilising). When you say it's not yet stable, can you clarify what,
if anything, works and how? I'm unable to detect anything via bluetooth (Apple Magic
Mouse, Microsoft mouse, Bose headphones).
If its not working at all, no probs. Just checking
Thanks again. Typed this from within Mojave. Still quite... unbelievable.
Unlike the WiFi card, even thought it’s a WiFi + Bluetooth combo card, it’s not
“blocked” by OSX. Just boot into windows first to start the card, then reboot into
macOS. This is important. If you want Bluetooth, it won’t work from a cold boot.
Ah interesting. Ok so boot windows, hit restart to go back into clover boot

screen and then select mac partition. Great. Will give that a shot.
Thanks... again! I get the feeling this won’t even be the last time I say this.

How does Final Cut Pro work on it? Obviously can't us dGPU for rendering...
Also is it possible to "dual boot"? FCPX is the only reason I'd do the Hackintosh, so I'd
still mostly use Win10.
Hmmm, I don’t use FCPX but I’ll say this. Someone did a geek bench and the
scores are as expected. Better then the 2018 i5 MacBook Pro 13 and worse then
the 2018 i7 MacBook Pro 13. (MacBooks) have Custom intel chips). For graphics, I
would say it would probably run on par with the i5 MacBook since the custom
integrated graphics that are made for MacBooks are actually quite stronger then
normal KBL-R ones..
For multibooting, it’s fine. I’m actually triple booting...on the main drive.

Worked like a charm! I was able to install mojave to an internal ssd

partition. However, after following the instructions, my
keyboard/trackpad still don't work and my display is locked at
3000x2000. I saw that these are symptoms of an outdated BIOS, but I
had already updated my BIOS to 1.18 before starting to follow this
guide. Is there anything else this could be? Perhaps an issue with the
graphics patch? When I boot from ssd the Apple logo and progress bar
are scaled larger (not 3000x2000; it looks good) and when the progress
bar reaches around 75% the screen goes black and then comes back on
and is then 3000x2000. (smaller logo and progress bar; too small)
Did you install the patched AppleCFL kext using kext utility? Did you
install the EFI partition to internal SSD and use the new clover folder
titled “after install”. Are you booting with the USB still intact? Don’t
boot with the usb still intact
I patched AppleIntelCFLGraphicsframbuffer.kext. I replaced the

default clover folder with the post install clover folder. I have
booted without any USBs. If I accidentally formatted the partition
as "apfs" instead of "macOS extended" could that be the
problem?

Try mounting your efi partition and use the clover folder from

That fixed the keyboard and trackpad, but the scaling is

still too small and the resolution is still the native

first off, thanks so much for putting this together. was really waiting and hoping
someone would put it together.
my matebook x pro has the Toshiba m.2, and i was able to dual boot windows 10 and
mojave using this guide: https://hackintosher.com/guides/dual-boot-macos-drive-
windows-10-already-installed-shared-drive/
I did a fresh install of both windows and mac. installed windows first, then mac,
following the guide.
I also installed "Brightness Slider" from the app store.
and i'm using a nano usb wifi dongle.
a couple of things i've experienced on the mac side:

1. i've noticed the audio quality is much better on windows, than mac. meaning, the
speakers or tweeters on the top are coming through on windows, but not on mac.

3. I've noticed that the fans do not ramp up Closed?
on Mac. I tried rendering a video with
Adobe Premiere on both mac and windows, and it takes twice as long on the mac
side. I don't believe the cpu is turbo boosting in mac, as i'm getting 1.8-1.9ghz, as
opposed to the windows side where it ramps up to 2.8-3.2ghz and the fans are very
audible.
4. lastly, the thunderbolt port, or usb c port on the side, furthest from the headphone
jack, doesn't read usb devices, but it does charge. all the ports work fine on
windows. and occasionally, some usb devices cause mac to reboot.
of course, i'm not a very computer savy person when it comes to these fine details, but
i'm slowly learning.
either way, thanks again for all your hard work putting the build together. i'll be checking
back regularly for future updates.
1. That’s the best we have done with it, the other method sounds way worse,
but we are looking into it and seeing what the right codec is.
2. Bluetooth works, probably not natively, but there are steps to make it work.
Will update guide on how to enable BT.
3. Thunderbolt is weird for OSX. I do have a USB C to USB A so I’ll test it out.

What did you use on Windows to format it? How much space is in your EFI partition.
Did you reformat the partition to OSX Extended Journaled? What type of SSD? It
probably deleted the windows partition too.
I used the built in disk management software on windows to format the

partition to NTFS before booting into Clover. I can't check the efi partition
because now the computer won't load, even from a bootable Win 10 partition. I
reformatted the partition to OSX extended journaled. It's a Toshiba SSD. It's
the same specs as yours
Did you take a look at the website that the guide had about windows duel
booting?
Yes I was following that. That's why I made the an NTFS partition and
then used the Disk Utility to Erase it as OSX extended journaled. Right
now I'm just wondering why it won't boot from a bootable USB
You should have used MiniTool Partition Wizard. Maybe I linked a bad
guide. My apologies. By booting do you mean it won’t recognize the
USB as a bootable Device?
In the bios it detects it as a USB device but as soon as the

computer starts, it says Boot fail. I hit ok and then it says No
Boot Device.
And no worries bro, I'm just hoping my windows partition wasn't
wiped.
What does using minitool do?
MiniTool is a way better tool for partitioning drives then

windows default one.
If you didn’t erase the wrong one, should still be there
Maybe your USB is bad.

reformat it at OSX disk utility.

Well I got Clover working on my internal SSD. I can load windows EFI from Clover just
fine, but when I try to load macOS, the Apple logo comes up and gets halfway through
the progress bar before rebooting. I tried the inject intel and fakeid but that didn't
work either. I've tried safe mode, with and without injected kexts. No luck. Safe mode
+ without injected kexts makes it about 75% of the way through the progress bar. Any
ideas? I installed the intel graphics kexts and ran the voodoo program, as well as fixed
my Clover install right before this happened.

I needed to add in config.plist what you say for my liteon ssd drive..
You’re not suppose to move anything in the Microsoft folder, only rename. You
rename bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi. Delete any duplicate Bootmgfw.efi’s. If
the theme is not working, just go to my GitHub page and download the Clover after
install folder. Then just copy and paste the “THEMES” folder into your system EFI
CLOVER folder and replace the current one in there.

Ok! Thank you for the theme issue!
The big problem still remain:
1- if I don't delete /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi then Clover menu doesn't
show up and MateBook boots directly in Windows 10 (...I can't access OSX)
2- if I delete /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi then Clover menu shows up but
there are only two entries: OSX (that boots perfectly...) and OSX Recovery
(that doesn't do anything...), so I can't boot in Windows 10... I tried to add to
config.plist (which is in /EFI/CLOVER) a custom entry for Windows 10 (I
followed this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-clover-
bootloader-does-not-show-windows-but-before-it-did.232146/ but without
success even if all the steps were successfull...)
3- if I use the usbpen made for installing OSX, then I can see Clover menu and
I can boot both in Windows 10 and in OSX...
...I'm quite frustrated since I don't figure out what I'm missing...
Don’t delete bootmgfw.efi. Rename it. RENAME. Rename it to bootmgfw-

orig.efi

Ok... but it doesn't matter... everything is like I stated before...

I wrote "delete" since the command sequence:
cd /EFI/Microsoft/Boot
mv bootmgfw.efi bootmgfw-orig.efi< > discussions in r/MatebookXPro X
is as, in my opinion, rm bootmgfw.efi since the file bootmgfw.efi is not

Could you, please, explain me in details the steps done for
fixing the boot? ... I would like to learn it!
Thank you very much!
It seems you renamed it incorrectly... And I may have
