[Guide] Mojave / High Sierra on Gigabyte H370 HD3 (Rev. 1.0)

[Gymnae]

Introduction

The H370 chipset powers 8th generation Intel Core-i CPUs. Even though the name H370 rings comparable to Z370, the H370 is based on newer silicon. This it also requires some new approaches compared to the Z370. An example would be on-die USB 3.1 and WiFi support.

 

Since this guide is not a "hold-your-hand-every-step" guide, I assume you know:

1. Clover installation and configuration
2. How to create an install medium for MacOS
3. Access and configure the BIOS
4. Have heard of ACPI patching (I'm a newb at this myself)

 

What works

• Sleep (via DSDT edits and emulated NVRAM)
• On-board Audio (via AppleALC and native AppleHDA)
• Native power management (without any kext or patch)
• All USB ports (and only those present are active)
• iGPU for both acceleration and display
• dGPU (I'm running an Nvidia GTX 1080)

 

Untested

• NIC --> I'm using WiFi only

 

What doesn't work

• Native NVRAM via AptioMemoryFix.efi
• DMVT Pre-alloc higher than 64MB (but not necessary)

 

Community additions

User @Panzerschiffe added a helpful post, altering this guide for user with AMD cards and not needing on-board sound.

He also runs Mojave, which I don't run yet.

 

 

Changes to the guide:

22.5.18: Added SSDT hot-patching to enable sleep, replacing DSDT static patching as an alternative.

23.5.18: Add iMac18,1 as alternative SMBIOS config for those relying on the iGPU for output

25.6.18: Added update info

28.8.18: Small changes for clarity, changed info for afps loading & updated USB patch for 13.6

04.10.18: Update to Mojave will come once Mojave is more mature

02.12.18: Removed unnecessary patches, fakepciid and audio patch method & linked to AMD post & added whatevergreen.kext as replacement for previous GPU kexts

02.03.19: Removed unnecessary fakeid and ig_platform_id injections, ACPI patches - this is all handled by whatevergreen & lilu. In testing is a Framebuffer patch, see this post.

04.03.19: Added Germany keyboard layout and updated pre-patched DSDT.aml removed DSDT patching

 

 

1. Installation

This guide heavy inspired by the work of /u/corpnewt of /r/hackintosh and his (sorta) Vanilla guide

 

1.1 Create the install media for MacOS

Follow this, if you are using a Mac to start off with. If you are totally new to MacOS, then please check the basic guide Creation of an installer media in windows or linux

 

1.2 Install Clover on the install media

Using the Clover installer, ensure you are installing to the USB medium you are using for the installer.

Chose the following options, leaving the others on default: 

 

• UEFI driver: AptioMemoryFix
• UEFI driver: ApfsDriverLoader
• UEFI booting only
• Install to ESP

 

You have to get your hands on an apfs.efi. A google search can help, or extracting it from the Installer package. Make sure you procure a version matching the MacOS version you are about to install. Place the apfs.efi in drivers64UEFI.

 

1.2 Adjust the config.plist for the installer

You can use the config.plist attached as a guideline, but take a look at it before and at least adjust the SMBIOS - otherwise it won't boot.

Attention: The attached plist contains audio patches introduced by a post-install step. If you run into problems, you might remove those. It also contains a manual slide value, which should normally not be needed, but works fine for me. It is also tuned for usage with an Nvidia Pascal dGPU as main GPU.

 

The config you create now should serve you nicely for install and running the system.

 

Take care of adding the following basics:

• SMBIOS: iMac18,3 - You can generate a serial number via Clover Configurator. The creation of a proper SMBIOS is covered in many guides to good extend
  • Note: If you aim at using the iGPU for output, a user reported that iMac18,1 works better - since iMac18,3 produces severe flicker. I'm now also testing 18,1
• Look at the graphics section and adjust the injection for Intel to your situation

Graphics

Important:

Change 0x59120003 to 0x59120000 if you don't use a dGPU as your main display Driver and instead use the iGPU for output.

Also note. SMBIOS iMac18,1 has been reported to work better in this configuration. But 18,3 works fine for me.

1.3 kexts and friends

Add the supplied SSDT-UAIC.aml to "patched" - it limits the injected USB Ports to the actual number and ports valid for this board.

 

Required kexts on "Other":

• FakeSMC.kext
• Whatevergreen.kext
• Lilu.kext
• AppleALC.kext
• IntelMausiEthernet.kext in case you're running Ethernet
• USBInjectAll.kext with the HCI-300-series-injector.kext --> These two should be installed to /L/E after install

 

We are leaving sound out at the moment, this is something for post-install.

 

1.4 Check BIOS and install

You should be ready for install. But before you reboot, please take a look at your BIOS and set it up accordingly (copied from the aforementioned guide and adapted):

1. Load Optimized Defaults
2. Disable VT-d setting
3. If your system has Secure Boot Mode, disable it
4. Enable CSM - This is sometimes needed to dual screens to work
5. Set OS Type to Windows 8/10 or OtherOS - I have not seen a difference
6. Turn off internal Serial and Parallel port
7. Turn off Network stack for boot
8. Turn off wake-on-lan (for now)
9. Set XHCI Handoff to enabled
10. Don't enable decode over 4G
11. Depending on your GPU, set priority for boot
12. Set internal GPU (iGPU) to enable - not auto or disabled
13. Set DMVT pre-alloc min to 64MB and max to 128MB. For this selection to appear you might need to reboot after setting iGPU to enable
14. Set USB legacy to enabled
15. Activate XMP profile 1 f your Ram has it (mine doesn't and I added the timings manually)
16. Set ERP to enable, disable platform power management (I need to do more research if this could be enabled)

 

I've attached my current BIOS config "hack2". You can place that on a fat32 drive (the EFI partition of your install USB drive might be an idea) and see if it loads. It's made for and with the F2 BIOS.

 

The install itself should be like other MacOS Hackintosh installs with it several reboots and ensuring to select the correct boot device in Clover.

 

2. Post-install

 

2.1 Install clover on target

This is a no-brainer, but install a fresh copy of Clover on your target medium.

 

During install select again AptioMemoryFix but also additionally

• EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
• Install RC scripts on target volume

because otherwise NVRAM doesn't seem to work

 

After the install, copy

• config.plist
• contents of "Other"
• content of "patched"

to your new clover install.

 

2.2 Edit ACPI for slumber

Choose one option, not both. The hot-patch is experimental, but for the moment it is stable.

 

2.2.1 Edit DSDT

No more need for manual DSDT patching. If you still do it, you might run into unstable sleep. SSDT hot-patching + sane clover.config edits are enough

 

This is necessary only once on initial install and every time, you edit or upgrade the BIOS. The DSDT.aml attached to this post might work for your system or give you a file to compare to. Don't expect it to work for you, though.

EDIT: Since moving from F2 BIOS to F12 I did not repatch and sleep is still somewhat reliable. But to be 100% sure, you can still follow these steps.

I won't go into the details of DSDT extraction and patching. There are better guides (the linked guide is a rip-off of rehabman's guide from a different forum). Please follow such a guide to extract your ACPI data.

 

Locate and disassemble the DSDT with the newest iasl binary you can put your hands on, then open it with MacIASL in its newest version you can find (Hint: Here is a good source) You can check if the version is new enough if MacIASL doesn't throw error upon compiling a freshly extracted DSDT.aml or DSDT.dst

 

Add rehabmans repo (as per linked guide) and apply the following patches:

• Rename _DSM to _XDSM
• Fix _WAK Arg0 v2
• USB3 _PRW 0x6D Skylake (instant wake)

Find the CNVW device and remove the _PWR function there.

 

Compile the DSDT and place it in "patched".

 

2.2.2 Use SSDT hot-patching

Instead of having to re-extract and re-patch the DSDT on every BIOS change or update, Hardware change one can also use ACPI hot-patching.

It's a combination of config.plist patches and an SSDT, which is hot-patched into the ACPI (if I understand the process correctly)

 

1. You need to add this SSDT-GPRW.aml to your Clover folder in the designated position at Clover/ACPI/patched
2. You need to add this patch to your config.plist. It goes into the DSDT patch section
   Spoiler

    

   
   	<dict>
   					<key>Comment</key>
   					<string>change Method(GPRW,2,N) to XPRW, pair with SSDT-GPRW.aml</string>
   					<key>Disabled</key>
   					<false/>
   					<key>Find</key>
   					<data>
   					R1BSVwI=
   					</data>
   					<key>Replace</key>
   					<data>
   					WFBSVwI=
   					</data>
   				</dict>

    

    

Note: This works for me, but the patch removes the _PRW method from all devices in the DSDT. This could have side-effects. So far, I have seen none. At the moment I'm also not applying any other patch, compared with the additional edits I made to the DSDT method before.

 

2.3 Install kexts to system

As mentioned in the install section, it's better to follow rehabman's instruction and install USBinjectAll.kext to /L/E:

sudo cp -R Release/USBInjectAll.kext /Library/Extensions 
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

2.4 Enable onboard Audio - Install AppleALC kext

Make sure your EFI partition is mounted and that you have a vanilla AppleHDA kext available. See below for a guide how to get a vanilla AppleHDA if needed

Note: Our Audio codec is ALC887 and it's running with layout ID 1.

Download the newest AppleALC kext from here and install it together with lilu.kext from here into your usual /clover/kexts/others location. Done. No scripts or config.plist patches necessary.

Add layout ID 1 to config.plist, if it's not there yet:

<key>Audio</key>
		<dict>
			<key>Inject</key>
			<integer>1</integer>
			<key>ResetHDA</key>
			<true/>
		</dict>

If you previously  installed any  audio patches, please follow this guide to "vanilla-ize" your install.

 

2.5 Optional steps for Graphics

If you have a dGPU, now it's the time to install its drivers and adjust the config.plist for it. The detaisl are specific to your GPU and thus of scope of this guide. Yet, my supplied config.plist is ready to be used with Nvidia Pascal cards and using the Nvidia web driver.

Whatevergreen.kext helps with Intel iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU fixes.

 

At the moment I'm also testing out a special bootflag: 'shikigva=12' to enable faster rendering in Final Cut Pro X. Without whatevergreen.kext and a shikigva bootflag, rendering in final cut seem very slow.

 

2.5.1 Framebuffers

If you're facing problems with output from your internal GPU, you can try the framebuffer patches listed by @BackwardMac:

 

2.6 Install a proper keyboard layout

You might not be using a fancy Apple branded keyboard. If you use a PC keyboard, you might be annoyed by the differing layout and usage of keys. As a German, you might find yourself quitting applications, since alt gr + Q won't add an @, but quit your current application. To fix this, you can simply install a different keyboard layout. Copy it to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ and chose the layout in System Preferences, Keyboard in the section "Other". Deleting the previously selecting layout makes sure that only this one is used. Nice little trick.

 

A keyboard layout for German keyboards is attached and works wonders

 

3. Updating

Updating inside 10.3.x/ 10.4.x point updates doesn't require much attention:

1. Download the update from the AppStore as any Mac would do
2. Allow the system to reboot
3. Before booting MacOS with Clover, make sure to disable extra drivers for dGPUs which require non-native support.
   1. If using an Nvidia dGPU: Remove "nvda_drv=1"  from your boot arguments and disable Nvidia injection
   2. If using a non natively supported AMD card, do the same for AMD (I'm not using AMD, thus I cannot be specific)
4. Boot into the newly created Install MacOS partition
5. Repeat this process until the Install partition is gone
6. Boot MacOS again, still following 3., and potentially install updated drivers
7. Your Audio might require re-patching

 

4. ToDo

• Move away from static DSDT patching to SSDT hotpatching --> requires my work
• Native NVRAM --> requires developer work
• Audio without AppleHDA patching --> requires developer work

 

5. Thanks to

@MaLd0nfor helping finding the right way with the DSDT

@RehabMan, for being a legend and helping me out patching

@toleda, for audio patches for the 300 series

/u/corpnewt, for his superb vanilla guide

@wmchris for his super XPS 9550 guide and introducing me to hot-patching

@Panzerschiffe for his addition to this guide

all the developers of clover and it's awesomeness

Edited March 8, 2019 by Gymnae
New pre-patched DSDT for F12 and German keyboard layout

[RandomTech]

Very nice and well explained guide, but really is there still need for the .sh command? I used that in earlier versions of OS X and it always caused me buzzing noise after about 3 min when nothing was playing. Now after discovering AppleALC and Lilu my Audio seems like heaven for me.

[Gymnae]

Thank you

I couldn't get it to work work with applealc and lilu. It's something about added codecs and layouts to appleHDA in combination with the spoofed ID by fakdpciid, i assume. 

Audio works fine for me, even after sleep. 

Sleep has also been super stable with ssdt, which is nice. 

[vele]

Thank you very much.

I just bought this board with an i3 8100.  Excellent work explaining how to install.  Just for the others who have this CPU and want to run High Sierra with the integrated graphics, the catch is to change into 0x59120000 (see hidden text under Graphics). Since I have an old Nvidia I was stuck at the graphics but once I changed the ID it all worked out of the box, I just had to patch the audio, each time after update, since AppleHDA is replaced. I did use your DSDT! I am running 18,1 smbios. I do not see any flickering... Odd. I did put in CLOVER > Kexts > Other > XHCI-300-series-injector.kext.

 

See the pics I attached how my clover looks like.

 

Thanks again

Hi @Gymnae, 

 

really help for me with an H370M DS3H,

 

But just a question, are ou able tu use one screen on your dGPU and an other on the IGPU.

I try to do that on my builds with UHD 630 (i8400) and a EVGA GT 740 but without success.

 

thank you.

Hey BackwardMac, I have not tried that yet - I only have one screen available to me.

[BackwardMac]

Ok thank for the answer,

 

I suppose you connect your screen to the DGPU, did you try to connect to the IGPU instead.

I always have black screen on IGPU ...

[wzian]

give me your EFI Folder 

 

I brushed BIOS in your way  But now only 3.1 of USB can work

Have you changed  0x59120003 to 0x59120000?

This way the systems knows that an output is connected to the iGPU. @veledescribed it less hidden than I put it down.

[madmike88252]

Hi, thank you for this guide.

i have the same MB with Nvidia 1050 gpu, unfortunately i am unable to get it working. can you be a little more specific, which steps are needed to get the Nvidia GPUs to work, can you post a ZIP of your EFI Folder?

 

thank you

I success by playing with the frame buffer I had to change some port with patches, but thank you for your help.

[sbreckler]

Hello,

 

I did as described in the thread above but I still have some problems:

• Only the one USB 3.1 Port is working
• No sound card detected (no problem for me I have an extra USB card)
• Shutdown "seems to work" but when I want to start the PC reboots in a loop until I cut the power for some time. 

Does someone have a solution for this problems? Could someone share the EFI folder?

 

Ps. I removed nvidia driver because I have a rx 580.

 

Thanks in advance

[killmonster]

I am stuck at the install step.

 

I have h370 hd3, bios is f2 (I have tried manually changing the bios settings and using hack2)

I Beleive that I have followed every single step correctly, but I still get a prohibited sign and "waiting for root device" when I load in verbose. 

 

Please, if anyone knows what I am doing wrong, help me! 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the info on the gigabyte HD3.  I too have the same board and got high sierra working.

 

My final setup looked like this:

./EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other:
FakeSMC.kext
IntelGraphicsFixup.kext
IntelMausiEthernet.kext
Lilu.kext
NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext
USBInjectAll.kext
VoodooHDA.kext
XHCI-300-series-injector.kext

./EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched:
SSDT-UIAC.aml

Clover config.plist attached.

 

I used the SSDT-UIAC.aml file from the first post. When this boots I get a couple of pages of very fast scrolling errors at the start of the boot, so i think it's probably not perfect.  I tried the SSDT-GPRW.aml hotpatch (on its own) but this did not work - everything was ok but I was left without SS USB (usb3.0).  I could see only HS USB devices in IOReg.  Going back to just the SSDT-UIAC.aml fixed this.

 

I tried the HDA route but without success.  Instead opted for VoodooHDA which worked first time with no problems, including vol controls and mute.

 

Overall a successful OSX86 install but not a painless one.

 

P.S. My system specs: NVidia GTX 1050 Ti / 8GB / 500gb samsung 570evo nvme / i7 8700 / gigabyte H370 HD3 v1.0 / Single hdmi monitor.

Glad to hear it works for you. You might want to move XHCI-300-series-injector.kext to /L/E instead of Clover.

Regarding Sound, I'm having the best experience with toleda's realtekALC script, although this Needs to run on every OS update.

 

Since 13.6 I'm having trouble getting the System to sleep. It's either the MacOS update or the new bios F4 wich I applied. I Need to check this further.

I am stuck at the install step.

 

I have h370 hd3, bios is f2 (I have tried manually changing the bios settings and using hack2)

I Beleive that I have followed every single step correctly, but I still get a prohibited sign and "waiting for root device" when I load in verbose. 

 

Please, if anyone knows what I am doing wrong, help me! 

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Hi @killmonster, are you still stuck? When do you see the error? After or before Clover? When you try to enter the insalled or OS or when you try to boot the MacOS install medium? Please make sure that you set the SSD Operation to AHCI. Are you using an M.2 SSD or SATA SSD? 

 

It's advisable to use a recent version of AptioMemory.kext fix and Combine it with ApfsDriverLoader. This way you don't need to add the apfs driver to your clover folder. I will add this to the guide.

Hello,

 

I did as described in the thread above but I still have some problems:

• Only the one USB 3.1 Port is working
• No sound card detected (no problem for me I have an extra USB card)
• Shutdown "seems to work" but when I want to start the PC reboots in a loop until I cut the power for some time. 

Does someone have a solution for this problems? Could someone share the EFI folder?

 

Ps. I removed nvidia driver because I have a rx 580.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Hi @sbreckler, how is the Status now?

I success by playing with the frame buffer I had to change some port with patches, but thank you for your help.

Could you maybe detail your changes? It might be valuable input for others.

Very nice and well explained guide, but really is there still need for the .sh command? I used that in earlier versions of OS X and it always caused me buzzing noise after about 3 min when nothing was playing. Now after discovering AppleALC and Lilu my Audio seems like heaven for me.

 

I'm getting back to to you reaaally late. So far the .sh command is the only way to make it work for me. I have no buzzing noise and things work fine, but's a change in the system via script. I'd like to avoid it..

Hi Everyone,

 

First, thx a lot for this fabulous guide

 

My Gigabyte H370 HD3 works fine... here are the specs :

 

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6.02

Gigabyte H370 HD3 rev. 1.0 LGA 1151
Intel i5-8600k
2x4Go DDR4 2666Mhz CL16
+ Apple AMD Radeon HD 5870 for Mac Pro 1 Go [PCI Express 2.0 x16]

BIOS Version F4 2018/07/20 : https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/H370-HD3-rev-10#support-dl-bios

 

My problem is that I c'ant make audio works !

 

I followed the advices in 2.3 chapter : "Enable onboard audio".

--> I installed kexts files as asked and ran then ALC script.

--> But this one give me always the same errors. Please see below :

Thank a lot guys

Please find my config.plist attached.

[machaon83]

Maybe, should I delete AppleHDA <dict> entries in config.plist ?

I'm not sure...

[machaon83]

I also tried the method below, can it produce a conflict ?

thx

Help! I'm having trouble with the installation. I've followed all the steps exactly as described more than once and I'm getting stuck after clover every time. 

I'm running a i5 8600 with the Gigabyte H370 HD3 (Rev. 1.0) (planing to use iGPU).

 

I've attached my EFI and a photo of where I'm stuck. Also I'm running the F2 bios with the profile provided.

Seems like you are missing essential kexts. Does this occur when you wan to install, or after you installed to your SSD and try to boot from the SSD?

Are you loading FakeSMC.kext ?

 

You can updated to the newest Bios no Problem - it's a good idea to be up-to-date with the flaws in the Intel Chips.

I personally stay away from to****ac tools, and I'd strongly suggest to not discuss These tools here. If you want to use these tools, please ask in their forum. 

 

Regarding Audio: Your Audio ID should be layout 1, you can also try 3. Don't mix up methods. The ALC script also doesn't produce any error, it looks fine to me apart from the Audio layout 7, which you don't have. If you use the script, please follow the instructions toleda has given for ist usage. You need a vanilla AppleHDA and EFI Needs to be mounted. 

 

Could you next time post in one answer instead of creating three? That makes Things easier. You can edit your posts in this great forum

[ssrgw]

我个人远离****交流工具，我强烈建议不要在这里讨论这些工具。如果您想使用这些工具，请在他们的论坛中提问。 

 

关于音频：您的音频ID应该是布局1，您也可以尝试3.不要混淆方法。ALC脚本也不会产生任何错误，除了你没有的音频布局7外，它看起来不错。如果您使用该脚本，请按照toleda提供的使用说明进行操作。您需要安装香草AppleHDA和EFI需求。 

 

您下次可以在一个答案中发帖而不是创建三个答案吗？这使事情变得更容易。你可以在这个伟大的论坛编辑自己的帖子
