Hackintosh Sonoma on Acer Swift 3 SF314‑43 (Ryzen 7 5700U)

This repository contains a working EFI configuration for running macOS Sonoma (14.x) on the Acer Swift 3 SF314-43 with AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, using OpenCore 1.0.5.


✅ What Works

  • Keyboard
  • Touchpad
  • All USB 3.0 ports & USB‑C
  • Audio output
  • Webcam
  • Brightness and volume shortcut keys
  • Integrated (Vega) GPU accelerated
  • Wi‑Fi & Bluetooth (with Intel® Wi‑Fi 6 AX210 adapter)
  • Android USB‑tethered modem (works via USB)

⚠️ What Does NOT Work

  • Microphone (currently not functional)
  • CPU frequency and temperature monitoring, fan speed control (unsupported: AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement and SMCProcessorAMD should not be used as they cause major performance and efficiency problems)

⚙️ Important Notes

VRAM / UMA Memory

To allocate at least 3 GB of unified memory (VRAM) to the GPU, you must increase the UMA Frame Buffer Size using Smokeless UMAF.

SMBIOS / Serial Data

You must change the values for MLB, ROM, SystemSerialNumber, and UUID in config.plist to unique values for your machine to enable Apple services (iMessage, App Store, iCloud).

OpenCore Version

This setup is built on OpenCore 1.0.5. Be cautious when upgrading to avoid breaking compatibility.

Config Setting

In OpenCore's config.plist, set SecureBootModel to Disabled (Misc -> Security -> SecureBootModel) for installation. After installing macOS, you can set SecureBootModel back to Default if needed.

🚀 How to Prepare for Installation

  1. Format a USB drive as FAT32, copy the EFI folder to its EFI partition.
  2. Use Smokeless UMAF to set UMA Frame Buffer to ≥ 3 GB.
  3. In config.plist, replace MLB, ROM, SerialNumber, and UUID with your own unique values.
  4. In config.plist, set SecureBootModel to Disabled (Misc -> Security -> SecureBootModel).

🚀 Installation

  1. Boot from the prepared USB drive and install macOS Sonoma.
  2. After installation, mount the EFI volume on the internal macOS drive and copy over the EFI folder.
  3. If you wish, set SecureBootModel back to Default in config.plist.
  4. Reboot and use macOS Sonoma.
