dan15 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 How does one go with patching the DSDT files clover gives you? I remember doing it a year ago but can't remember which guide I followed... I'm currently using opencore and I've updated my bios to f14. Thus, I should update my DSDT.aml, correct? Whenever I tried to use the DSDT file that clover gives me, I can never pass the apfs_module_start:1683 line. Yet, when I use the old DSDT.aml file, I can boot up to macOS just fine. Is there any guide I can follow?

There a problem with official F14RB bios version from Gigabyte support. They just refuse to share it, so there not updated F14(RB) BIOS with this option (CFG-lock). But I think you can apply updates from F14 changes to F13RB version. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/329806-gigabyte-aorus-gaming-7-bios-f5e/page/12/#findComment-2700589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Donkey Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 @MaLd0n Greetings! I've thought about trying to switch from Clover to OpenCore, what would be the best way to proceed to switch from one to the other? Of course, I'd make a backup of Clover first (since if macOS boot gets broken I can still access/restore the EFI partition from Linux).

Awesome Donkey Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) It gets stuck at the Apple logo, keyboard/mouse never re-initalize, not sure how to get verbose mode going yet. Windows and Arch Linux still boot though so I can make plist changes. EDIT: Okay, figured it out, it's because of CFG Lock/MSR that I can't turn off, toggled AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock and now I'm booted into macOS now.

Awesome Donkey Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 @MaLd0n Okay, I removed my previous post (and the link in the previous post) because I downgraded my UEFI BIOS to a version with CFG Lock hard disabled in it, so I don't need those two above flags anymore to boot OpenCore, so I re-ran the RunMe.app again and here's the new link... Send me Michaels-iMac.zip The only other thing I'd need help with is adding custom boot entries to the OpenCore list like I do in Clover. OpenCore detects all three OSes, but I want to rearrange them and rename them if possible so Windows is always first, then macOS then Arch Linux. Thanks a lot!

Awesome Donkey Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) @MaLd0n Yeah, I changed to the different Vault settings and OpenCore still doesn't boot, so I guess right now it's a no-go with OpenCore. It's a very odd issue indeed since FileVault isn't being used at all. I've also noticed that NVRAM doesn't seem to be working anymore. I've tried using sudo nvram -c in the terminal, and this is what I get... nvram: Error clearing firmware variables: (iokit/common) not permitted I thought this might be an OpenCore thing, but after switching back to Clover I get the same thing. I've also noticed F11 when Clover boots to clear NVRAM doesn't work anymore either. So is this a known issue in macOS Catalina or my Z370 system? Or do I need to start using EmuVariableUefi again? I am using FwRuntimeServices.efi+OcQuirks.efi at the moment and switching back to AptioMemoryFix.efi doesn't make a difference either. Any ideas?

Awesome Donkey Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) @MaLd0n Okay, I fixed OpenCore (with SMBIOS data like system serial, MLB, system UUID, etc. ported from Clover to OpenCore) and it's working fine now. No more of those errors in the screenshot. My next question is, how do I port my custom boot entries from Clover for Windows 10, macOS Catalina and Arch Linux over to OpenCore? I figured this out. Also, do I need any of those SSDT patches the OpenCore guide recommends for Coffee Lake CPUs? Or do I just need the DSDT?
