You can follow Dortania's guide as it is very detailed and easy to understand.
- Prepare an Mac installer in USB with GibMacOS
- Go to the releases and download the lastest version
- Replace EFI folder in USB EFI partition with the EFI folder from the zip file
- Go into config.plist with ProperTree and change the SystemProductName (Type), SystemSerialNumber (Serial), MLB (Board Serial) and SystemUUID (SmUUID) which is generated using GenSMBIOS. (Press 1, then 3 then type MacBookPro15,2)
- Boot into USB and select MacOS installer
- In the installer open disk utility and format the SSD to APFS. YOU WILL LOSE ALL THE DATA THAT IS ON IT
- When you are booted in you need to mount EFI partition and replace it with USB's EFI using Hackintool or MountEFI
Sleep is completely supported!
