daleski75 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi Guys, Thought I would build myself a hackintosh and got it pretty much perfect aside from 2 small issues which I hope can be answered here. Also not sure if this is related but when I try to backup my iPad it gets about half way before saying it cannot complete because the iPad is disconnected so this maybe happening with the backups to the external hdd? Asus Z170P Intel i7 6700k 32Gb DDR4 RAM 512Gb PCIe NVM SSD 1Tb Western Digital Blue Intel HD530 External USB 3.0 HDD Issues 1) Timemachine backups hang randomly and never finish 2) Graphical glitches in the top right hand corner of the screen Aside from this as far as I can see everything is spot on.

daleski75 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Will give that a go in a moment I take it it just goes into the config file for clover? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonmolk Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Will give that a go in a moment I take it it just goes into the config file for clover? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That would go in your config.plist for clover which fixes the glitch at boot up, but unfortunately it wont fix the glitch with the HD530 in the upper left corner. I use the dark menu option so it is slightly less noticeable. My guess is the drivers for the HD530 in Sierra beta are being worked on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleski75 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Managed to get time machine backups running by running the app HWSensors.6.20.1410.Binaries and installing the relevant kexts however now my M.2 SSD has dropped down from 1.5gb/sec write to under 200mb/sec write (read is 2gb/sec still) I have removed all of the kexts in question from the above app, repaired the cache, permissions, checked clover but the problem persists. The SSD in question is a Samsung SM951(SAMSUNG MZHPV512HDGL-00000) I have tried the clover config.plist patch for the NVMe but this has made no difference and tried the genericnvme from http://www.macvidcards.com/nvme-driver1.html.

Looks like you have the AHCI version of the SM951 which I am pretty sure wont work for the NVME patches or drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleski75 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Ah that explains that one then, doing a test restore now with time machine to see how much it breaks and will also see if this fixes the speed issue as well.

daleski75 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Got the test restore working in the end after a lot of hard work as I forgot to update clover to 5399 so it refused to boot sierra. But the good news is since doing a clean install my SSD read and write speeds are back to 2gb and 1.5gb respectively. iMessages activated right away which was an added bonus as well.

daleski75 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Enabled high power draw in clover and now my iPad charges and backups using iTunes and even the USB type C port is working although they are all showing a maximum speed of 480mb/sec which I still need to look into.

daleski75 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Done some more work on clover and managed to almost get iTunes trailers working but get a black screen. So far this is shaping up to be quite a good hackintosh build over all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleski75 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Been a while since I last posted and now I have fixed all graphical glitches in the top right on my HDS 530, apple itunes trailers are now working and playback flawlessly. Need to sort out a native wireless pci-e card at some point as my TP-Link AC1200 USB3 wireless dongle is well not very good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirusX Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Maybe you could write how you fixed the glitches so that other users know what to do if they have the same problem... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramalama Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 He fixed the glitch by adding AAPL,GfxYTile you can do it dsdt/ssdt way (check rehabs repo) or with clover: <key>Devices</key> <dict> <key>AddProperties</key> <array> <dict> <key>Device</key> <string>IntelGFX</string> <key>Key</key> <string>AAPL,GfxYTile</string> <key>Value</key> <data> AQAAAA== </data> </dict> </array> </dict> Daleski, you could figure out how to boot with 2 displays attached xD The hotplug workaround is {censored} xD Cheers :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right got usb 3.0 running at 5gbps instead of 480mbps but now most of my usb ports do not work so still figuring this one out. Disabled CSM and updated to latest beta bios.

daleski75 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Edited the usbinjectall kext from Rehabman to match up with ioreg and now my other 2 usb devices have appeared so once I am home I will test all the usb ports and make sure they work.

daleski75 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 After more testing it became apparent that random usb devices where dropping off after each reboot so I stripped out the usbinjectall kext, ddst patches and left everything stock and just raised the port limit from 16 to 21 and it seems to be a lot better now.

daleski75 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Still playing with my mackintosh and now.... Messages now working between my hackintosh and my iPhone 7 Plus (this got broken somehow after lots of patches so did a clean install) All USB ports working at full speed including USB C Generated SSDT/DSDT patches for all cpu states o/c to 4.50ghz now Sleep/Wake worked once but not anymore WOL works but get a black screen Getting a Fenvi T919 card tomorrow and will purchase a Nvidia card at some point so sleep/resume works.

daleski75 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Just put in the Fenvi T919 and now have native support for wifi and bluetooth (location services now working) No modifications at all just plug in and play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleski75 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 More tweaking over the weekend... Removed ALL kext patches for the HD530 Removed InjectIntel from clover Removed the ig-platform-id Down clocked back to 4.0Ghz as this was making the CPU run at full speed all the time Verified that X86PlatformPlugin is loaded upon boot Get my 1050 TI today (could not wait) so this should fix the last remaining issues with sleep/wake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleski75 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 1050 TI installed and working great (after installing 2 additional kexts into other) One last issue which is bugging me though. hand off is enabled natively through the Fence T919 but for the life of me I cannot get it to work. Running sudo cat /var/log/system.log | grep -I handoff gives no output whatsoever *edit* Might of just solved it by logging out of iCloud and back in again.

daleski75 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Removed a couple of SSDT edits for power management and also removed the SSDT.aml generated by ssdtPRgen and power management still works and XF86PlatformPlugin is still working. Just got 2 remaining issues to fix with HWMonitor not reporting the GPU clock speed nor CPU speed. Intel power management widget reports fine even though HWMonitor repots it's running only at 800 or 4000mhz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 for check if u have good PM, use AppleIntelInfo.kext By Pike and look at ur ioreg too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleski75 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 for check if u have good PM, use AppleIntelInfo.kext By Pike 01.png and look at ur ioreg too 02.png This is how mine looks (nowhere near as many c/p states as yours with and without my SSDT.aml Without the DSDT edits X86PlatformPlugin is always loaded. Double checked this is with no ssdt patches for power management. Thought I would attach the whole lot as a zip file including clover, all patches etc for anyone to have a look at who is way more knowledgeable than me. iMac.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleski75 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 With the help of @MaLd0n I have got everything working much better in my quest for perfection on my hackintosh. I have now sorted out all of the USB ports and got only the ones connected to be seen by the hackintosh so no further need to raise the port limit. Power Nap is still bugging me as well as WOL but I won't give up until these are fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
