I think few hours will be enough for Sherlocks to explore new kernel and propose patches for Clover. Radeon cards will work just with RadeonDeinit=YES, it is system independent.

I just start this topic to express my idea to this forum about doing a chellenge, this challenge is about installing the new mac os version of mac os that will be presented at the wwdc. The challenge is very simple, is to try to install the new mac os beta version, which will be presented at the wwdc, in an hackintosh, as fast as we can. Last year, my friends and I succeeded in 20 hours from the release of the new beta, but this year with more computers and a much faster internet connection, I plan to do it in less time, and also since I'm a subscriber to the apple developer program, I can download the new software immediately. I do not want some sort of race o competition, but just something to do a collaborative effort and being the first commiunity to succeed in that. Among other things, I will go to see live the presentation of the wwdc from the Italian ios developer academy and some of my friends have managed to go in person to the wwdc. what do you think about this idea? will you join the challenge and try to be the first to install the new macOS 10.14 beta on an hackintosh?

I need them for my work as a developer, i just saved the money i earned working for a company for some months. But i got most of the ios stuff for free, because family and friends do not need them or upgraded to newer stuff, for the hackintoshes my hobby is to collect computer parts of all kinds, mostly stuff i get for cheap used in local markets and on ebay (my favorites are ms-dos and late 90s stuff like 3dfx cards), only 2 machines were built on purpose with brand new parts, but as always, i have to save money for a while to buy something, and also the mac are gifts i recived in the past from friends and family. The only mac i bougth with my own maney is my macbook pro 15 inc 2017 i bougth with the scolarship's money i earned at the italian ios developer academy (yes i did study there and i know some people at apple too, but my passion is hacking and doing interesting stuff with my machines and also i love all the flexibility that a custom desktop gives to me) so i am not rich, and the only prize here is the satisfaction of a successfoul installation

Osx86.net online now! iPB is killing forums like madman

im up to try it. when is the release date

Rev 4487 Fixed a feature introduced by rev 4466.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THIS GUIDE AS IT'S BEING UPDATED FRECENTLY Notice: THE LATEST ROM's DOESN'T WORK, MANUFACTURER FOUND TRICK FOR THAT BIOSES TO BE CORRUPTED AFTER MODIFICATION Guy's, please, you have to be responsible for your machine as in the same way you want to Hackintosh,but never hurry up to manufacturers technical support, because they can find that files on the M_BIOS, so they do more complications to find our how to hack! Assume that you're aware about to do a bios hack on protected ROM, assume that if something goes wrong. You have to find how to solve the problem, if brick by yourself, search for a solution to help, but never go to the manufacturer! And finally read carefully the guide, i have here, all the things for you, to make your hack ready. So don't forget some steps to lack at some point! Again don't use latest bios updates, just use MMTool the latest supposed to work with 100 Series, and UEFITool. I added to the repository MMTool, to update CPU Microcodes that are important since last CPU Vulnerability! I've tested Z170 chipset and i confirm that it work, but to be in ROM: - Do not try on 64 Mbit chip, because simply it will not let you insert up to 3 files, so don't - Your board must have 128 Mbit chip - Do not change the name of ORIGINAL ROM file that need to be modded, do just save and not save as! - Use UEFITool for replacing modules body and use only save (overwrite that ROM) and not save as! Space on the ROM is more than available on 128 Mbit, and to flash you need FPT-DOS files for 100 Series and do it with USB bootable So you have to decompress "Setup" driver, as we do with CORE_DXE. Once done, you can insert other drivers using MMTOOL or UEFITool and insert them one by one, the first need to be the first the second need to be the second and etc... I'll attach that files one by one for FFS extension: AcpiPatcher and KernextPatcher have to be in the top of the nested Volume, as they are absolutely needed before other drivers get loaded, same thing should happen if on ESP, so one for dropping OEM _DSM, devices rename and the other for Kernel and Kexts to patch. -The oficial UEFTW Patchers from @cecekpawon are available in GitHub repos here these drivers aren't posted here, because of frequently updated, so i have to do that on each update, i prefer to put link for user own download and to get more informations about that tools and for proper knowledge. 1- Btrfs.ffs.zip 2- EXFat.ffs.zip insert it after Btrfs 3- EmuVariableUefi-64.ffs.zip insert it after EXFat and Before HfsPlus 4- HfsPlus.ffs.zip Updated Drivers 1,2,3,4 have to follow the patchers on the Top of the nested Volume 5- HermitShellX64.ffs.zip 6- FakeSMC 234f2 FFS.zip For i7 CPU's 7- FakeSMC 233f10 FFS.zip For i5 CPU's 8- InjectorCompress (Rev1.3).ffs.zip 10 Series [8086:A102] ready, for 20 and 30 Series you need to add it by yourself 9- HorizontalTheme.ffs.zip 10- OzmosisDefaults.ffs.zip - OzmosisDefaults.plist.zip iMac17,1 Full example 11- Ozmosis.ffs.zip High Sierra @cecekpawon version a- Ozmosis.ffs.zip Mojave @TypeThree version b- KernextPatcher.ffs.zip Mojave version but the plist work by @TypeThree, to put on the top of the nested volume with the AcpiPatcher UEFITool Releases page Working Directory: 100 Series.zip IMPORTANT - Now because iMac17,1 uses 2 different SMC's for i5 and i7, edit your already FakeSMC or download the 233f10 if you have i5 and 234f2 if you have i7 - Keep you updated about editing SMBios here - If you got only one error while you're inserting the files on the ROM, don't save it, or don't use it, you don't have to see any error at all Ozmosis related Options: Start-up HotKeys ================ 'Function' || 'Shortcut' || 'Notes' ===================||======================||========= Disable Ozmosis || Escape || Press at start-up, screen will flash red to indicate Ozmosis is disabled.

Updated Clover Builder.app v1.1.5 Added to distr HFSPlus-64.efi and FakeSMC.kext. @SavageAUS Updated Clover Builder.app v1.1.6 Added to distr apfs.efi. Enjoy.

I already had a chance to do it, i was honored by cecekpawon to test Ozmosis on High Sierra, and I was one of the first users that installed HS with only Ozmosis. It's a lot of reboots, trying SMBios changes, FakeSMC's and a couple of things, until we found that the FirmwareFeatures and FirmwareFeaturesMask had to be taken from real Mac DMI and convert them to Decimal, I'm with you my friend, I'll try that, the only problem left is, downloading this beta, as I have account but not enrolled on the Apple Developer!

Me too, but I followed this post on page 6 from okrasit (my hero) - And used one of the strings straight after it that suited my GPU.

take a shot CLOVER.zip if have problem, reboot, press O key in Clover boot screen, go to Acpi Patching/DSDT Name and put DSDT02.aml and remove DSDT.aml in clover/acpi/patched

HWSensors-3_r150 Here is my log:

Please, replace the HfsPlus.ffs that's on the ROM with the one on the repos, because i just changed it. You have to put SSDT's in the Load folder, or wait the next video for patching ACPI on the ROM. For the GUI, change the UserInterface from NO to YES, and change the TimeOut from 0 to 5 or what you want. You just have to add it in the OzmosisDefaults. Just download the OzmosisDefaults.plist from the repos, change the ig-platform-id, serials, boot-args, but don't change the FirmwareFeatures and FirmwareFeaturesMask! On the first post, i'm adding them one by one, there's some changes !

Yeah!!

Thank you for your video. I followed the video and now I have a bios that works better. But Ozmosis still does not work. cmd + alt + p + r Works, but I do not have any features like GUI ... thank you

@Dmos Hey bro, thank you for this great news.

Do not warry, as a developer on apple platoforms, i own 3 macs, 6 hackintoshes, 6 iphones and 2 ipads (yes for proper debug you need a lot of devices, and also i use them for other things rather than being just debugging) but ironically no free external drives, so i will proceed in that way i told. But i can just give to you the kernelcache with fakesmc alredy inside, made from my mac, which will work on your systems too, and because i know all the possible black screen and such problems, i will just use a machine with native supported gfx and an smbios which will not give me a black screen. people with black screen problems should use a different smbios, or change the gfx card they use, or wait that clover team releases a version of clover with working kext injection on the new mac os release and the to use lilu and his plugin kexts with all the beta boot args.

If you have a real mac then the process can be faster. 1. Attach USB external HDD to the macbook. 2. Install new OS until first restart. 3. Reboot to original system and place FakeSMC and Ethernet (!) driver into SLE. 4. Move the drive to hackintosh 5. Continue installation with moving your data from "other Mac", i.e. from previous installation. There is a possible problem if someone accustomed to use Lilu to make graphics. They expected to get black screen. I have no real Mac so I am out of the competition.

I've also updated the topic description

I come up a new idea. can I add PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable info in kext just like RX VEGA it can help macOS recognize GPU working status

Theme by Allan Nyholm...

Audio is activated in the BIOS ??? DSDT.aml is in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/ ??? Check System Information Extensions in Utilities: Let KextUtility run again for cache rebuild

If a non-programmer will be able to install new OS then it will be a challenge whose internet is faster. There will be a question who first find a workaround to install new OS if it will not work on hackintosh for some new reason.

I compiled rev150 from sources. All is fine! Just a question. What are the numbers at USB devices in monitoring column ? May be can show here real current (amperage)?

disable wake lan in bios

i do this ever year in the first hour of its release its to easy

It is done r4486. from Patches_for_EDK2 - Patches based on EDK2 from Patches_for_UDK2018 - Patches based on UDK2018

i mean just doing something to run it first, for the issues just use the forum, the challenge will just about getting the new mac os version to work on an hackintosh as fast as possible, and after a couple of days, just close the thing and create more detailed threads about how to do it, and issues we have discovered

4485 Bluetooth is fix here thanks again

After a couple of weeks of health problems, i am back, i have uploaded the pre-release branch of tinu, i am doing a final release candidate build of tinu, which you can download here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/nvzss51qcieynve/TINU.zip The final release candidate is basically the last pre-release of this new version of tinu 2 and it's almost equal to the final release version, the only difference is that the release candidate is made to make sure that everything works and it's fine before releasing it to the pubblic as a release, so giving me the time to listen and fix the issues and missplacements reported by you, so i invite everyone to try it and try to find as many thigs to fix as you can, so i can pubblish the final release with the fixes you requested included. The source code is available into the development branch of the github repo as usual.

REV 4476 - 4478 Added ebuild.sh option '-D NO_CLOVER_SHELL' to disable building of Clover-modified shell. Vanilla shell lib is built for bdmesg.efi, and vanilla shell binary can be taken from edk2/ShellBinPkg (see --edk2shell option for ebuild.sh). Reengineered the patch to GetBestLanguage() function found in MdePkg/Library/UefiLib so that 6 other patched sources can be eliminated. The eliminated patched files are Patches_for_EDK2/MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiBootManagerLib/BmDriverHealth.c Patches_for_EDK2/MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiHiiLib/HiiString.c Patches_for_EDK2/MdeModulePkg/Universal/HiiDatabaseDxe/ConfigKeywordHandler.c Patches_for_EDK2/MdeModulePkg/Universal/HiiDatabaseDxe/ConfigRouting.c Patches_for_EDK2/MdeModulePkg/Universal/HiiDatabaseDxe/Font.c Patches_for_EDK2/MdeModulePkg/Universal/PlatformDriOverrideDxe/PlatDriOverrideDxe.c Make sure to revert the removed patches in EDK2 tree to their original form.

Clover 4496

I've had this problem with dual Titan X's (Maxwell) since 10.13.3. The only driver I've found that works with dual cards running MacOS 10.13.4 is 378.10.10.10.25.106. I also have NividiaGraphicsFixUp.kxet installed as well.

I think I already saw a such message before (server issue, forum update) and the forum has always been back. And I'm sure it will be the case again. ;)

Thanks for the feedback. I never had to use anything in El Capitan to get the GTX 285 working as I am using native built in drivers. In El Capitan I only have KP's when I try using the Nvidia web drivers. To me that is strange because the web drivers are specifically built for sysdef 5.1 machines and directly support the old GTX 285, at least that is according to Nvidia the distributors of the web drivers. All other sysdefs used with the web driver are classified as beta efforts by Nvidia. I believe that my hardware matches sysdef 5.1 Apple MacPro's fairly closely, although I could be wrong and would welcome some guidance in this regard as well. I am running Clover 3763 without a DSTD.aml. In my AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext my Mac-board ID is already set to "none" without me having had to do anything, unless there is something else I need to do that I am unaware of, if so kindly elaborate, as I am sure that if I get the web drivers working in El Capitan my Sierra problems will also be over. As I metioned earlier the mere presence of the web driver causes the machine to be unusable, I cannot even get into Vesa graphics mode, the machine KP's before reaching the desktop. The only cure to return the machine to normal is to remove the web drivers. What appears to me has happened is that the new built in drivers in Sierra inherited some code from the older web drivers that were used for El Capitan and that is why Sierra is also not working for me. Again therefore getting the 15A1004 web drivers working in El Capitan will probably reveal what needs to be done to get Sierra working with it's built in or web drivers. Some more thoughts on that would be most welcome.
