Note: I'AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR COMPUTER USING THIS GUIDE!
First of all, you need to know that a some things will not work on macOS!
This repository contains all the necessary files that I used to Hackintosh my Razer Blade
This guide is based on Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2019 by stonevil and Razer Blade 15 2018 by vettz500 tutorials.
I will no explain you how to install macOS because there are a lot of tutorials to do it! I will only explain how to have maximum hardware working after macOS installation
The basic config that I used is config_UHD630.plist by RehabMan
- Intel UHD Graphics 630 (with full hardware acceleration)
- Wifi and Bluetooth (after network card upgrade - Intel Wifi card is not compatible with macOS)
- Realtek Ethernet card
- Integrated speakers / mic (ALC256 codec)
- Battery status
- Integrated 720p Webcam
- Trackpad (with all gestures)
- Handoff (After network card upgrade)
- Sleep (but you will need to for full sleep before closing screen or it will be black after restart)
- Shutdown / Reboot without kernel panic
- Native Wifi / Bluetooth card (should be replaced)
- NVIDIA GPU (No drivers for RTX 2060 / GTX 1660)
- HDMI / mDP / USB-C to HDMI (They are connected to the NVIDIA GPU - You can use an external USB display using DisplayLink technology or things like this)
To fix audio, you will need AppleALC kext by acidanthera
You will need to change your Clover configuration :
Open the config.plist file with a plist editor like Xcode.
Uncomment the layout-id line (In Root > Devices > Properties > PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x1f,3) > layout-id) that is commented by default.
Then set layout-id to 13
.
You will need to patch your DSDT to get battery status working.

- Apply the
Patch
- Save the file as ACPI Machine Language Binary
- Copy your new
DSDT.aml
to/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/
- Copy the ACPIBatteryManager kext to
/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
. - That's done, now reboot and it will work!
Sometimes, the ACPIBatteryManager
can cause bugs! I suggest you to replace it by VirtualSMC and its SMCBatteryManager
extension.
- Just download AirPortBrcmFixup and BrcmPatchRAM
- Then copy
AirPortBrcmFixup
,BrcmFirmwareData
,BrcmNonPatchRAM2
andBrcmPatchRAM2
kexts to/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/
. - Now reboot and if you have a compatible network card Wifi and Bluetooth will work!
- DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE UPGRADED YOUR WIFI/BLUETOOTH CARD!!!
- Download Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts.
- Copy them in
/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/
. - Now reboot and Full graphics acceleration will work
- Download RealtekRTL8111 kext.
- Place it in
/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/
. - Now reboot and Ethernet will work
- Download VoodooI2C kext.
- Place
VoodooI2C
andVoodooI2CHID
in/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/
. - Open your DSDT file in MaciASL
- Click
Patch
button in toolbar. - Select the

:
Name (SBFG, ResourceTemplate ()
{
GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullDefault, 0x0000,
"\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,
)
{ // Pin list
0x0000
}
})
- And replace by this:
Name (SBFG, ResourceTemplate ()
{
GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullDefault, 0x0000,
"\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,

0x00A2
}
})
- Then close the
Patch
window - Save the file as ACPI Machine Language Binary
- Copy your new
DSDT.aml
to/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/
- Now open your CLOVER
config.plist
file with a plist editor likeXcode
- Go to
Kernel and Kexts patches
>ForceKextsToLoad

There are two ways to control your Razer Keyboard. You can use the command line tool or the app
- You can use the Razer macOS app by 1kc that allow you to change your Razer Keyboard color from the taskbar
- Just download it and put it in your
/Applications
folder.
- Just download my fork of osx-razer-blade if you want to compile it with Xcode or just use the command line tool: osx-razer-led
- For example, if you want the keyboard to be white and stay static, just type:
osx-razer-led static white
To enable iMessage and FaceTime you can follow this guide
