Razer Blade 15 Base 2021 (RZ09-0369x) Hackintosh

macOS Sonoma on Razer Blade 15 Base (2021) RZ09-0369x on Acidanthera's OpenCore bootloader

This EFI folder is based on Japerz12138's repository. I modified, cleaned and updated EFI from this repo.

Recommendations

In order to boot macOS on the Razer Blade, you need to change UEFI BIOS Configuration.

Please be aware that all PlatformInfo and SMBIOS information was removed from the OpenCore config.plist files. Users will therefore need to generate their own PlatformInfo with CorpNewt's GenSMBIOS tool before attempting to boot with this repository's EFI folder.

I added "-v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1" BootArgs, to debug, after installation you can clear bootarg's. If you can't boot, please check Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide

What needs some more work

• Sleep by closing lid

What will never work

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 dGPU (disabled with an SSDT)
• HDMI output (hardwired to the NVIDIA dGPU)
• Airdrop (WiFi Module need to be replaced)

UEFI BIOS Configuration

Many other Razer Blade machines need to unlock the BIOS and change the SAC to work properly, but software Mod of BIOS is locked, it can be Modified only by hardware method.

• Reboot computer
• Repeatedly press the F1 or DEL key to enter the UEFI BIOS configuration menu
• In the UEFI BIOS navigate to the menu

Sound

If your audio is not working, try different ALC Layout ID, my work perfect with LayoutID=21, otherwise try: 3, 11, 13, 16, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, 32, 47, 66, 72, 99. The detailed ALC configuration can refer to here: AppleALC Supported Codecs

Sleep

Sleep working fine, if you go to sleep before closing lid, if you try sleep by closing lid, you will be wake in black screen.

Conclusion

If your machine run in to any problems or malfunctions during installation, I will not be responsible for that, so use this EFI at your own risk! Good luck, have fun, share your success to others may be able to help a lot!
