Asus F556U (X556UQK) - Big Sur 11.4 Hackintosh Open Core 0.71

Release Version

To Debug, please enable verbose mode and follow all the Keys below

Note

Please use SSDTTime to patch your own SSDT, do not use mine as not all the configuration work the same on your device.

You can only dump SSDT on Windows or Linux

Please downgrade your bios if you're at version 3.1.5. This will cause graphic issue.

Please generate your own SMBIOS SN, UUID using MacBookPro14,1 and change your ROM based on your Ethernet Mac Address.

Catalina Note

In case if you want to use Catalina 10.5 instead of Big Sur, change AirportItlwm.kext kest to Catalina version and enable xhciportlimit on config.plist
