  1. Anyone wanting to boot an existing Big Sur install with Clover can do it now. Necessary files have been published and it got a little easier: https://www.hackintosh-forum.de/forum/thread/49311-macos-11-bigsur-dev-beta-clover-patch/?postID=619527#post619527 Make sure you have Big Sur already installed on your drive (Installer not working yet!) Use the Clover build attached to the post linked above Paste the kernel patches inside your config.plist Use latest OcQuirks, otherwise it won't boot If you don't know how to use that stuff, it isn't for you.

  2. Hello everyone I see with pleasure that you are all making a lot of effort and progress to have Big Sur on the PC .., also because we are talking about the first beta that soon we will see new updates of the same. The virtual machine solution is the installation with a real Mac is an alternative procedure with the sure conviction that the clover developers will release a definitive bootloader for direct installation, as is the case with previous maOS es. (mojave, Catalina). You just have to wait patiently for this new clover bootloader is to trust those who work there. I will wait like so many for this exit.

  3. been studying the new APFS sealing process upon installation on a real Mac, and there is big challenges ahead to implement disabling SIP3, and the introduction of ramrod like iOS, I wonder if we may have to go back to the old days of updating the OS via Delta/Combo patched updates. Interesting times ahead for Hackintosh.

  5. Managed to install after quite a bit of faffing about. Couldn't do it without the invaluable help and guidance of Señor MaLd0n. Restored the dmg to a ssd drive and slight tweak to my config.plist to enable booting from the drive.

  8. It doesn't need to. The user can take any .icns file, rename it to .VolumeIcons.icns and place at the root of the volume, then set PickerAttributes in config.plist to a value that reads them. * Check OpenCore documentation for correct details.

  11. Some boards do not have a visible option for CFG Lock. For those cases the Bootloaders offer options to not write to the MSR. An other way is to disable CFG Lock in the BIOS despite the fact that there is no option available in the user interface. One way to do so is to use UEFITool, ifrextract and a patched Grub. Which is not only cumbersome, also it will work only, if the storage used for CFG Lock is in a certain varstore. Generally speaking CFGLock.efi does what those tools do, but the only user interaction needed is to confirm that you want to toggle the CFG Lock value (on to off/off to on) and it works regardless where the CFG Lock option resides, as long as the BIOS has a CFG Lock option - hidden or not - in their HiiDatabase. It is an EFI Application. Install it in the Tools folder of your OpenCore EFI and enter it under Misc->Tools in the config.plist. The EFI must not be able to boot MacOS, it must just be able to show the picker. It should also run as an application from the UEFI shell, but I haven't tested this. CFGLock.efi.zip

  13. Installing macOS Big Sur 11.0 DP1 on Gigabyte Z370N WIFI + i7 8700K + UHD 630 Changelog: 06/28/2020 22:05h GMT-0 - Replaced detach command when creating ISO. - Thanks @ham4ever - Added instruction to run one line at time. 06/27/2020 02:37h GMT-0 - iMessage works too. Just not at first boot. 06/26/2020 18:54h GMT-0 - First version. What works and what does not - Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K -> Work. All SpeedStep stages.- Video Card: Intel UHD 630 -> Work. QE/CI and Metal.- Chipset: Intel Z370 -> Work.- HDMI 2.0 (1st) -> Work. - HDMI (2nd) -> Work. - DP -> Work. - Audio: ALC1220 -> Work. - HDMI Audio -> Work.- WiFi/Bluetooth -> Not work. Replaced with BCM94360CS2. - Ethernet (1st) -> Work.- Ethernet (2nd) -> Work.- USB3.0 -> Work.- Sleep -> Work. - Airdrop, Handoff, Instant Hotspot and Continuity -> Work after replaced wireless. Todo - Fix iMessage (other iServices works perfectly) - Nothing Disclaimer! Bootloaders are currently unable to start the installation. The solution is to use a virtual machine and use a physical disk (additional, USB or SATA, NVME) as a target in the installation. Change the OpenCore compiled from the source code, and add some entries in NVRAM through config.plist. This is not the best solution. But it is the only way at the moment. There are some ready-made images available out there, but I prefer not to use them and create a clean installation. What you need to install - Running install of macOS - Already working OpenCore with this setup - Create bootable ISO file - Spare Disk/SSD- macOS Big Sur DP1 install app- Latest OpenCore + Kexts compiled from sources - Some KEXTs and SSDT patches UEFI configuration My BIOS is F10 (I use an 8th generation processor, so I don't need to upgrade) You can configure manually or load my BIOS profile. Manually: - Shutdown and insert the flash.- Power on with DEL pressed to enter BIOS setup.- Change value: BIOS - CSM Support to Disabled- Change value: BIOS - Secure Boot to Disabled- Change value: Peripherals - Initial Display to IGP- Change value: Chipset - VT-d to DISABLE- Change value: Chipset - Internal Graphics to ENABLE- Save & Exit Setup or, BIOS profile You can use one of my BIOS profiles attached bellow. It's two versions. One stock and another with overclock [5.0 GHz] - Put the profile in the root of the flash drive at EFI partition. - Restart with DEL pressed to enter BIOS setup. - Go to Save & Exit. - Select Load Profiles. - Select last option and then the flasdrive in the list. - And finally choose MACOS_STOCK or MACOS_5GHZ. - Save & Exit Setup How create bootable ISO file Download Big Sur DP1 Run this command on Temrinal: sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Resources/seedutil enroll DeveloperSeed Go to System Updater and download the Install macOS Beta app. Create ISO Then run on Terminal (One line at a time): hdiutil create -size 12G -fs hfs+ -volname install -type SPARSEBUNDLE ~/Desktop/install hdiutil attach ~/Desktop/install.sparsebundle sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/install --nointeraction hdiutil detach `diskutil list |grep 'Install macOS Beta' |awk '{print $8}'` -force hdiutil makehybrid -o ~/Desktop/install ~/Desktop/install.sparsebundle rm -rf ~/Desktop/install.sparsebundle Now you have install.iso on desktop. How create create the virtual machine and install to disk/SSD Download and install the trial version of the VMware Fusion from their site. I'm used the version 11.5.5. - Create a custom virtual machine - Operating System: Apple OS X - macOS 10.15 - Create a new virtual disk (The size doesn't matter, We'll delete later) - Click in "Customize Settings" - Save the VM on desktop with name: bigsur - Insert the spare disk/SSD on PC (reboot if necessary) and identify what /dev/diskX is. You can look on Disk Utility.app: - Create VMDK that point to it: sudo diskutil unmountDisk diskX /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/diskX fullDevice ~/Desktop/bigsur.vmwarevm/physical sata - Edit the virtual machine settings created previously - Click in Hard Disk (SATA) and delete it (Remove Hard Disk) - Then add the physical disk - There's a bug in Fusion. To select the physical.vmdk, right click then "Quick Look", then "Share virtual disk with the virtual machine that created it" - Click Apply. - Now mount de install.iso - Start the VM and install as usual until: Disk Utility, format GUID with APFS (VMware Virtual SATA Hard Drive Media), Install macOS, wait few reboots and stop at first boot wizard. This can take up to 45 minutes. It may seem like it is stopped, but it is not. - Press Command + Q and shutdown (usually WIN + Q) - Close VMware Fusion. Copy OpenCore to EFI - Mount the EFI with: sudo diskutil mount diskXs1 - Copy your current working OpenCore EFI to that mounted EFI. - Download mine attached or Update your OpenCore, Kexts and driver UEFI. - You can use the @MaLd0n script attached to compile all (OlarilaOC.command.zip) - If using mine add your MLB, ROM, SystemUUID and SystemSerialNumber. (see how to) - Add following items do config.plist: NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args -> -lilubetaall (append) NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> booter-fileset-basesystem + Data + <00> NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> booter-fileset-kernel + Data + <00> NVRAM -> Delete -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> booter-fileset-basesystem NVRAM -> Delete -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> booter-fileset-kernel Done!

  16. @ludox - To be honest I think we're all caught up in the Big Sur rush, panic, fever, what ever you want to call it, my self included. I can't remember the last time an Apple OS X System caused so much whoohaaa (or is that old man time catching up with me). I spent the time it was released trying like crazy to install it the 'Create Install Media' conventional way and gave up with the thought that my sanity was worth more than that, but reading the many posts of success and failures, I felt I was being left behind and gave it a final push. I had partial success with VMWare but my screen was reduced to letter box size with laggy performance, with a bit more net trawling I found MaLd0n's method - restoring the dmg image to an internal/external disk and saved my sanity. So what I am saying, don't be too harsh admonishing the posters even though the Threads are being kind of cluttered with the same woes and cries because in a few years down the line, Apple will have us ripping the boards and components out of the cases and using the said cases to display potted plants.

  17. OK so I'm back to the iMac19,1 setup and it's OK-ish again. UI animations and screen saver password prompt are still laggy / choppy / slow (added for SEO) and nowhere near as smooth as on Mojave with the exact same hardware setup. At this point I'm starting to suspect that something's wrong with the USB or Bluetooth setup of either OpenCore or Catalina. Perhaps @AudioGod has some more ideas what could be causing these issues. Now, before you all go and say I'm crazy and your setup is perfect... My friend has almost the exact same setup as mine (5700 XT instead of an RX 580) and he has the exact same issues. He just didn't notice them and he never had Mojave on this machine. So perhaps I'm just super anal about having perfect animations at 60 fps without frame drops. Anyway, I'll try to boot from a clone of my Mojave installation to show you the difference on video. If anyone has any good ideas, please do chime in. This is driving me nuts!

  20. Hi, im believe that you will get 90% chance to not have a problem in install from your new installation (external usb), but im think is not necessary restoring. Just use a simple adapter to make your ssd that you will install on Hack, and make boot from then. Use same driver that you use on install from Macintosh. But restoring Hack its very probably that you will have issues. First, try use Opencore in your hack build with Catalina, for exemple, and its huge probably that you will have success.

  21. @SavageAUS It works really well, my card is an Intel-9462NGW, I think I can't put links but I'll leave you a file with the kext I use, first you open the kext with the option show package content, you modify the file info.plist and in the image section you modify the ssid and your internet password, you save it and put the kext in the opencore kexts folder and modify your config.plist to add it. Reboot your computer, open the Heliport app to see the status and connect to another network. Credits to the creators of the itlwm kext and the Heliport app. itlwm.kext.zip

  23. I am having some issues and maybe, just maybe, someone has a good suggestion for me. 1. While it took a long time, I now have a working EFI for OpenCore for both Catalina and Big Sur. However, for whatever reason, my webcam does not work (but other internal USB devices seem to be ok) and my CPU temp sensors are not picked up by iStat Menus but do seem to be displayed correctly in HWMonitorSMC (I am using the plugins for VirtualSMC.) 2. I used the image of Big Sur that was first posted in Applelife.ru, and while it works, and while I was able to resize the APFS container to fit on my laptop's SSD, I cannot restore the live installation created from the image on my laptop's SSD. It gets UUID errors that prevent me from restoring it. If I create my own installation on a real Mac to my external USB drive, will I also have problems restoring that installation to my laptop's SSD? 3. The BRCMPatchRam3 kext seems to work in Big Sur but it also appears to be spamming my log file and possibly using a ton of resources for no good reason. When I just use the BT injector, the BT device appears but does not work properly. The PatchRam kext appears to be necessary from proper BT function. Any input would be appreciated.

  26. When not specified, device-id defaults to the macOS-detected device-id (which for my I7-8700T / UHD 630 is 0x3e92) - read here. 0x3e92 is the best device-id for me based on my testing, so no reason to "spoof" a different value. I could also have defined device-id = 0x3e92 (Reverse Byte Order 0x923e0000), which still leaves the device-id unchanged from its default. Read this post and this post for further explanation. See attached IORegistry dump and note the value of device-id (without me having to specify a value).

  32. A clean installation is always the best choice. I cannot say about migrating to OC because i havent tried it yet, but what i can say is that i have the same installation since Yosemite and even kept it when moving to this motherboard from the X58 platform in High Sierra so i never lost my audio presets and settings and reinstall all this stuff again. Just keep a Clone as backup and a working Clover boot stick handy and try it. Audiogod's and the rest of the team's magic made this possible and saved at least a week of reinstalling from the beginning.

  35. It doesn't matter as long as Apple made the effort for this CPU/GPU comination (i3-8100) to operate correctly in their driver. Its device id is 0x3e918086 which is explicitly listed in the Info.plist for both CFLGraphicsFramebuffer and KBLGraphics. It has some associated ig-platform-ids. AFAIK this device id is only used in the desktop i3 CPUs. So what's your theory for their making the effort? Just to reemphasize - my i3-8100 GPU works flawlessly with H310 chipset if I set Model ID to iMac19,2. I don't have Lilu/WhateverGreen installed, and the only related kext patch is to enable HDMI audio on port 6. This patch is optional in the sense that graphics would still work without it - but HDMI audio would be muted. The framebuffer settings in the firmware I believe are set to "auto" - at least I don't remember tweaking them from the default. I also use -disablegfxfirmware boot arg. Last time I tried w/o it there was deadlock during boot, but that was many versions of macos ago. PS after further review, I found I also have DSDT patches to rename GFX0 to IGPU, HECI to IMEI <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>Rename GFX0 to IGPU</string> <key>Find</key> <data>R0ZYMA==</data> <key>Replace</key> <data>SUdQVQ==</data> </dict> <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>Rename HECI to IMEI</string> <key>Find</key> <data>SEVDSQ==</data> <key>Replace</key> <data>SU1FSQ==</data> </dict> I believe this is important, because the graphics kexts look for for the associated ACPI devices by explicit name occasionially. I don't manually specify an ig-platform-id. The one implicitly injected by Clover for device 0x3E918086 is 0x0x3E92000. The kext patch I mentioned to change DP connector to HDMI on port 6 for this configuration is <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>10.14.4-CFL-3E920000-Port_0x6-DP2HDMI</string> <key>Find</key> <data>AgQKAAAEAACHAQAA</data> <key>Name</key> <string>com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCFLGraphicsFramebuffer</string> <key>Replace</key> <data>AgQKAAAIAACHAQAA</data> </dict> Additionally, I have AddPNLF set to false in DSDT fixes because the native DSDT has an object named PNLF for another purpose than the one Apple uses. Also, I double-checked in the bios setup, and the graphics memory aperture is indeed set to AUTO. The primary graphics adapter is listed as PCIE, but I don't have a PCIE graphics card, so it falls back to IGPU. I hope this helps people having problems getting graphics to work on 0x3E918086.
