Release 6.1.0 supporting macOS 10.14.X - 13.X.X · balopez83/Surface_Pro_3_Hackintosh

WARNING: Converted OpenCore to the OpenCore Mod fork as of the 6.0.0 release. If you edit the config.plist you will need to take extra care to avoid breaking your EFI. If using OpenCore Configurator you will need to switch it to "Mod" or you will break your EFI.

You are required to re-generate SMBIOS information to enable iServices with this release. Please make sure to sign out of all iServices before updating to this release or you will need to reinstall macOS to restore iServices.
You may have issues with "hibernation" after upgrading to this release. If you experience instant wake issues or other hibernation/sleep issues, you may need to reinstall macOS to resolve them.
OpenCore Legacy Patcher or separate USB installer required to upgrade to macOS Ventura or newer going forward. Reverted to the more appropriate MacBookPro12,1 SMBIOS which will prevent macOS Ventura or later from being provided as an upgrade option in System Preferences. Users with installs of macOS Ventura or later should continue to work without additional patching if already patched.
macOS Ventura no longer supports the Haswell graphics architecture of the Surface Pro 3. OpenCore Legacy Patcher required to re-enable graphic acceleration on the Surface Pro 3 in macOS Ventura and later. See Chapter 10 linked on the main page for instructions.
DO NOT UPGRADE TO macOS 14 Beta at this time. This version of macOS is not supported at this time and due to lack of graphics support.

Dual Boot with Windows is not well supported due to quirks with Surface Pro 3. Works well if installed after a clean macOS installation
Secure Boot must be turned off in the BIOS/UEFI in order to boot before registering the secure boot key. Secure Boot may be turned on after key is registered.

OpenCore (r0.9.4mod)
You must replace your existing EFI with this release and add your SMBIOS information, or your system and iCloud services will not work as expected.
SIP On by default! (Use SIP toggle in OpenCore boot loader (press spacebar at boot selection to access this) . SIP is problematic with Ventura after patching, use caution.

Sensor Support

#17 and #7 Corrected USB stack patching to correctly identify all USB ports and enable SD card support again
#17 Added official support for CPU temp and other sensor readings. It worked in earlier releases though the readings may not have been accurate as the readings were based off SMBIOS rather than exact hardware. This release resolves all these issues.
#14 Changed to SMBIOS MacBookPro12,1 which should be a better match for proper CPU power management. Average power draw at idle should be around 10 Watts.
Changed graphics settings again for more reliable graphics acceleration and further reduce graphics glitches.
