ASUS ZenBook UM462D / UX462DA - Ryzen 5 3500U - Can macOS be installed?

[sukhrobjonov]

Hello everyone!

I need help with installing macOS on my laptop. I have been trying for 3 days with AI assistance but keep getting different errors every time. I'm not sure if macOS can even be installed on this laptop at all.

My Laptop:

• Model: ASUS ZenBook UX462DA (box says UM462D but Windows shows UX462DA)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
• RAM: 8GB DDR4
• SSD: 256GB NVMe
• WiFi: Intel AX series
• Touchscreen: Yes (10 touch points)

My questions:
1. Is it even possible to install macOS on this laptop?
2. Which version of macOS works best for this hardware?
3. Does anyone have a working EFI for ASUS UX462DA or similar Ryzen 5 3500U laptop?

What I tried:

• OpenCore 1.0.7 with macOS Monterey 12.7.6
• SMBIOS: iMac19,1
• Always getting error: usr\standalone\OS.dmg.root_hash not found
• The firmware keeps reporting different Board-IDs each boot (Mac-AA95B1DDAB278B95, Mac-63001698E7A34814)
• Tried CleanNvram, ForceSecureBootScheme, different recovery files - nothing works

I am a beginner and would really appreciate any guidance or a working EFI to start from.

Thank you so much!

1. Yes it is possible, but people have had mix results when running macOS on an AMD laptop.
2. Any version from High Sierra up to and including Tahoe, should be possible with the correct EFI.
3. No.

Your AMD laptop should be using a MacBookPro16,2 SMBIOS, not an iMac19,1 (desktop) SMBIOS.

Zip and post a copy of your OpenCore EFI and let us see what you are using, as without that we won't be able to suggest anything helpful.

• Have you set the bios to allow macOS to run?
  • https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/AMD/zen.html#amd-bios-settings
• Have you increased the VRAM assigned to the AMD Vega graphics to 512MB or 1GB as recommended by Dev for NootedRed.kext?
  • https://chefkiss.dev/applehax/nootedred/
• Are you using a USB to Ethernet adapter while running the macOS installer?
  • If not do so, as the Intel WiFi/BT won't work until you are on the macOS desktop.
  • Example adapter available from Amazon linked below.
