- dGPU (Nvidia Optimus not supported on MacOS)
- eGPU (not tested)
- Fingerprint Sensor
- Intel Wifi (soldered onto the motherbaord)
- Huawei Matebook X Pro (either i7 or i5 model)
- macOS or OS X downloaded from the Mac App Store
- 8GB USB stick
- External USB Wifi Dongle
- USB C dock (for connecting to external mouse for initial setup)
- f2 is for booting into BIOS
- f12 is for boot override
- Any version of the BIOS is good, but I'm on version 1.26
- Restore Defaults
- Disable Secure boot
- Matebook's BIOS is rewrite protected, EFI tool is useless against this BIOS.
Prior to installing macOS, it is a good idea to backup any important files on Windows.
-
You can also leave Windows intact, but it can get tricky. Read here for more information:

This guide for creating USB and installing using Clover UEFI works well for this laptop:
-
For the installation purposes, please use the HD620 plist that rehabman provides in his guide for your installation USB.
Set config.plist/Graphics/ig-platform-id=0x12345678 for installation.
I ended up wiping windows and installing it afterwards, if you do so, fingerprint sensor will stop working, please follow the guide from this link:
Install macOS according to post 2 of this guide.
You should now be at your desktop.
Download
- Clover Configurator Pro
- USB Wi-fi Drivers
- Newest Clover Bootloader, and install it to your boot disk
Mount EFI partition if not mounted already
Clone the repository via terminal or download it and swap the CLOVER folder downloaded for the one in your EFI directory.
Note if you have the i5 version, or any other configurations of the laptop sold exclusively in China, you should:
- delete the DSDT.aml file in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched and generate your own via pressing f4 at the clover bootscreen.
- For i5 models: you have to make a custom CPUFriendProvider for Power Management by following this guide:
Add the VoodooI2C patches (One for the SKL+ one for Windows 10 Patch) Add the following code to your DSDT.aml to fix brightness keys.
into method label _Q0A replace_content
begin
// Brightness Down\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)\n
end;
into method label _Q0B replace_content
begin
// Brightness Up\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)\n
end;
Reboot
- Native brightness is now working
- macOS is able to automatically adjust the brightness accroding to the ambient light sensor
- Native Sleep is now working, not more glitchy screen after computer comes out from sleep, fixed by injecting custom EDID values
- Native graphics: we are now using KBL graphics, we had to change the maximum link rate to HBR in order for the screen to work
- Better audio: speakers are now louder, you can always just use voodooHDA but you will lose headphone detection
- WhatEverGreen updated to version 1.2.8
- VoodooI2C kext updated
- Note* you still need to patch your DSDT for trackpad to work, and brightness keys to work.
- If you have problems updating to 10.14.4 (seeing a prohibited sign), its likely that the problem is caused by your liteon drive, please replace the following patch in your config.plist before you update.
- I haven't tested this yet since I don't have a LiteOn drive, but this should work theoretically.

- Added New config-install/update.plist in CLOVER folder for installing purposes. You may choose this config in the boot screen of Clover: options - configs - config-install/update.plist
- New CPUFriend and CPUFriendProvider kexts for better battery life. (~9 hrs)
- Run the following code if you would like to make a custom version of the power management kexts to your liking, then install the kexts located at your desktop to Clover. Source
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro/master/one-key-cpufriend/one-key-cpufriend.sh)"
- Undervolt the CPU/GPU/Cache via a shell: Place the new "voltageshift" file into your downloads folder and run the "voltageset.command" script to undervolt, and the "voltageinfo.command" to check your results. Furthermore, you can also set custom values to what you would like to undervolt to based on your hardware (i5 vs i7) by editing the script. Source
- WhatEverGreen updated to version 1.2.7
- Lilu updated to version 1.3.5
