Stuck at boot on Hackintosh (Lenovo Ideapad 3, OpenCore) – need help
Hey guys, I really need some help 😅
I'm trying to build a Hackintosh on my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 3 15IML05, 12GB RAM, 10th gen i3). I’ve followed several tutorials (mostly from YouTube), checked if my hardware is compatible, and I’m using OpenCore Simplify.
The problem is that I can’t get past the boot. It always throws some error and freezes. I’ve redone the whole process multiple times, followed everything step by step, and even configured the USB ports like the tutorials suggest.
At this point, I’m not even worried about post-install or fine-tuning… I just want to get through the boot without errors 😭
If anyone has been through this or has any idea what might be wrong, I’d really appreciate the help 🙏
If you need photos of the error after boot, just let me know. I’ve tried multiple macOS versions (all newer ones, from Ventura and above), but they all give me the same error.
Also, I actually want to learn how to do this properly. I’ve noticed people here don’t really use OpenCore Simplify or tools like that. I’d like to understand the “manual” way of setting things up. If anyone can guide me, share a tutorial, or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.
