[b]3. Upgrade Guide Mojave (10.14.6) to Catalina (10.15.3)[/b]

* Step 1: Delete all hackintosh related kexts from `/Library/Extensions`:

[code]
sudo su -
cd /Library/Extensions
rm -rf AppleALC.kext
rm -rf CPUFriend.kext
rm -rf CPUFriendDataProvider.kext
rm -rf CodecCommander.kext
rm -rf HibernationFixup.kext

rm -rf USBPorts.kext
rm -rf VirtualSMC.kext
rm -rf VoodooPS2Controller.kext
rm -rf WhateverGreen.kext
kextcache -i /
[/code]


* Step 2: mount the hard disk EFI partition and delete everything but your smbios settings from **config.plist**

[code]
# somehow mount the EFI e.g. with clover configurator e.g. mounted at /Volumes/EFI
cd /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER
cp config.plist ~/config.plist
cd /Volumes/EFI/
rm -r EFI*
[/code]

* Step 3: install clover to the disk

follow `Install Clover on the macOS disk` and `Customize Clover on the macOS disk` from this guide.

[b]Important[/b] copy your SMBIOS settings from your `~/config.plist` to the installed `/Volumes/ESP/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist`

* Step 4: upgrade

Do the upgrade from the `System Preferences > Software Update`

Once you get on the 10.15.3 you should not do any further steps.

[b]4. Installation Guide[/b]
These are the steps in order to install or upgrade your XiaoMi-Air. There is a very detailed document on the steps followed and the customizations which can be found in [url=https://github.com/sakoula/XiaoMi-Air-6200U/blob/master/DETAILS.md]DETAILS.md[/url].

There is a another document on how I setup my environment including all the tools and utilities I have used [url=https://github.com/sakoula/XiaoMi-Air-6200U/blob/master/ENVIRONMENT.air.md]ENVIRONMENT.air.md[/url].

You will need a working macOS installation (no matter the version) to create a USB Flash Drive with macOS.

Start by downloading the latest version the customization files from the [url=https://github.com/sakoula/XiaoMi-Air-6200U/releases]releases[/url] page. It includes:
[list]
[*] `AIR_EFI/`: efi directory including all kexts and customization needed
[*] `addons/LiluFriendLite.kext`: `LiluFriendLite.kext` used in the installation
[*] `addons/ApfsDriverLoader.efi`: `ApfsDriverLoader.efi` used in the installation
[*] `addons/AudioDxe.efi`: `AudioDxe.efi` used in the installation
[*] `addons/EmuVariableUefi.efi`: `EmuVariableUefi.efi` Emulated NVRAM
[*] `addons/FwRuntimeServices.efi`: `FwRuntimeServices.efi` required from OcQuirks*
[*] `addons/HFSPlus.efi`: `HFSPlus.efi` used in the installation
[*] `addons/OcQuirks.efi`: `OcQuirks.efi` instead of OsxAptio*
[*] `addons/OcQuirks.plist`: `OcQuirks.plist` instead of OsxAptio*
[*] `addons/UsbKbDxe.efi`: `UsbKbDxe.efi` used in the installation
[*] `addons/UsbMouseDxe.efi`: `UsbMouseDxe.efi` used in the installation
[*] `addons/VirtualSmc.efi`: `VirtualSmc.efi` used in the installation
[*] `addons/AppleGenericInput.efi`: `AppleGenericInput.efi` FileVault
[*] `addons/AppleUiSupport.efi`: `AppleUiSupport.efi` FileVault
[/list]

[b]4.1 Installation SSD[/b]
I installed a [icode]Samsung 850 Evo Series, 500GB M.2 SSD (MZ-N5E500BW)[/icode] specifically for macOS on the [b]second[/b] M.2 port. Use [icode]F12[/icode] to boot from a specific device.

[b]4.2 Disable Secure Boot[/b]
Hold [icode]F2[/icode] to get into the BIOS. In order to disable the secure boot you need to set a supervisor BIOS password. Use [icode]root[/icode] as a password. Without exiting disable the secure boot. Then change the supervisor password and do not enter a new one. This will disable it. Exit BIOS saving the options.

You do not have to change anything else from the defaults

[b]4.3 Preparing USB Flash Drive[/b]
[url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372]Get a at least 16GB[/url] USB Flash Drive and:

[icode]Disk Utility > Select USB Device > Erase[/icode]:
[list]
[*] GUID Partition Table
[*] Name: USB
[*] Format: MacOS Extended (Journaled)
[/list]

[b]4.4 Install Cataline installer to the USB Flash Drive[/b]
Download Cataline from Apple AppStore and run the following command to install it on the USB disk you just Erased.
[icode]$ sudo /Applications/Install macOS Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB[/icode]

[b]4.5 Install [icode]Clover[/icode] to the USB Flash Drive[/b]
Go with the stock clover and run `Clover_v2.5k_r5099` installer:

*Continue* > *Continue* > *Change Install Location* > *Install macOS Catalina* > *Customize*

*Clover for UEFI booting only*, *Install Clover in the ESP*

[b]4.6 Customize Clover on the USB Flash Drive[/b]
Download the latest [url=https://github.com/sakoula/XiaoMi-Air-6200U/releases]release[/url] from github and unzip the archive. You will find an [icode]AIR_EFI[/icode] directory and a [icode]addons[/icode] directory. Mount the USB Flash Drive's [icode]EFI[/icode] partition on [icode]/Volumes/EFI[/icode]:
[list]
[*] create `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI` or erase everything in `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI` if it exists
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other`
[*] copy `addons/*.efi` and `addons/*.plist` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/`
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/PATCHED/*` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/PATCHED/*`
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/config.plist` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/config.plist`
[/list]

[b]4.7 Install Catalina[/b]
To boot from the USB Flash Drive you can just hit [icode]F12[/icode] and you will get the UEFI boot loader

Boot from the USB and install Catalina on the hard disk.

If your Xiaomi-Air already runs High Sierra 10.14.6 you can upgrade directly to Catalina using the installer from the AppleStore (no need of a USB Flash Drive).

[quote]
[b]Important[/b]: During installation you will ask to reboot the machine. While on clover make sure to boot from [icode]Boot macOS install from *** disk[/icode] disk. If you do not see this disk hit [icode]F3[/icode] to show all the hidden disks. You may need to reboot multiple times.
[/quote]

[b]4.8 Install [icode]Clover[/icode] on the macOS disk[/b]
Once the installation is over you will need to install [icode]Clover[/icode] bootloader on the hard disk that you have installed macOS in order to be able to boot without the USB Flash Drive.

Run again the [icode]Clover_v2.5k_r5099[/icode] installer:

*Continue* > *Continue* > *Change Install Location* > *macOS location* > *Customize*

*Clover for UEFI booting only*, *Install Clover in the ESP*

*Install RC scripts on target volume*

*Install Clover Preference Pane*

[b]4.9 Customize Clover on the macOS disk[/b]
Download the latest [url=https://github.com/sakoula/XiaoMi-Air-6200U/releases]release[/url] from github and unzip the archive. You will find an [icode]AIR_EFI[/icode] directory and a [icode]addons[/icode] directory.

> **Important**: Before installing clover on disk make sure that you do `sudo mount -uw /` from the terminal. And ignore any message from clover saying that it is incompatible with your operating system

Mount the EFI partition of the macOS boot parition on [icode]/Volumes/EFI[/icode]:
[list]
[*] create `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI` or erase everything in `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI` if it exists
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other`
[*] copy `addons/*.efi` and `addons/*.plist` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/`
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/PATCHED/*` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/PATCHED/*`
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/config.plist` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/config.plist`
[/list]

[b]4.10 Move kexts to [icode]/Library/Extensions[/icode][/b]
[b]February 2020[/b] Starting with Catalina I do not do this step!

The right way to load kexts is [b]not[/b] by injecting them through clover but installing them in [icode]/Library/Extensions[/icode] and building them into the kernel cache.

Download the latest [url=https://github.com/sakoula/XiaoMi-Air-6200U/releases]release[/url] from github and unzip the archive. You will find an [icode]AIR_EFI[/icode] directory and a [icode]addons[/icode] directory.

Mount the EFI partition of the macOS boot parition on [icode]/Volumes/EFI[/icode]:
[list]
[*] [b]move[/b] [icode]EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/*[/icode] from macOS boot parition to [icode]/Library/Extensions/*[/icode]
[*] run from the console [icode]$ sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/*[/icode]
[*] run from the console [icode]$ sudo chmod -r 755 /Library/Extensions/*[/icode]
[*] run from the console [icode]$ sudo kextcache -i /[/icode] to rebuild the caches
[*] [b]move[/b] [icode]addons/LiluFriendLite.kext[/icode] from the downloaded file to [icode]/Library/Extensions/LiluFriendLite.kext[/icode]
[*] run from the console [icode]$ sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/*[/icode]
[*] run from the console [icode]$ sudo chmod -r 755 /Library/Extensions/*[/icode]
[*] run from the console [icode]$ sudo kextcache -i /[/icode] to rebuild the caches
[/list]
[b]remember[/b] that [icode]kextcache[/icode] needs to be run twice

[b]4.11 Create a USB Flash Drive just with [icode]Clover[/icode] for emergencies[/b]
Get a small (2GB will work just fine) USB Flash Drive and:

[icode]Disk Utility > Select USB Device > Erase[/icode]:
[list]
[*] GUID Partition Table
[*] Name: CLOVER
[*] Format: MS-DOS-FAT
[/list]
Run the [icode]Clover_v2.5k_r5099[/icode] installer:

*Continue* > *Continue* > *Change Install Location* > *USB Flash Drive* > *Customize*

*Clover for UEFI booting only*, *Install Clover in the ESP*

Download the latest [url=https://github.com/sakoula/XiaoMi-Air-6200U/releases]release[/url] from github and unzip the archive. You will find an [icode]AIR_EFI[/icode] directory and a [icode]addons[/icode] directory. Mount the USB Flash Drive's [icode]EFI[/icode] partition on [icode]/Volumes/EFI[/icode]:

[list]
[*] create `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI` or erase everything in `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI` if it exists
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other`
[*] copy `addons/*.efi` and `addons/*.plist` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/`
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/PATCHED/*` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/PATCHED/*`
[*] copy `AIR_EFI/CLOVER/config.plist` from the downloaded file to USB's EFI to `EFI/CLOVER/config.plist`
[*] edit `config.plist` change the `SystemParameters`:

[b]5. Postinstallation Steps[/b]

[b]5.1 Enable HiDPI resolutions[/b]
I am using the computer using the *1600x900* resolution that fits my eyes best.

You can enable HiDPI resolutions using the amazing script [one-key-hidpi](https://github.com/xzhih/one-key-hidpi). However since native max resolution of the LCD is *1920x1080* it **does not make any sense**. HiDPI will look huge on screen and the *1920x1080* HiDPI will not seem any different and will make the computer slower. *1920x1080* HiDPI will create a *3840x2160* virtual screen that will map it to a  *1920x1080* display, so it does not help much.

If you still want to use HiDPI get the [url=https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM]avibrazil/RDM[/url] [avibrazil/RDM](https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM) tool if you cannot see all the available resolutions.
