Reset BIOS to default settings, then enter BIOS settings in guide, look at images inside spoiler. 

[cla974]

Ok, i try....thank you.......

[cla974]

Peripherals → Intel (R) Bios Guard → Intel BIOS Guard Support → Disable. I can't find this option, is this: software guard extensions (SGX)?

Hi,

 

I have configured and tested a Pre-install EFI folder for macOS Mojave 10.14.4  >>PRE - INSTALL - Aorus Z390 Pro EFI .zip .  Ensure  BIOS Chipset --> Above 4G Decoding is Disabled. I discovered that 4G Decoding Enabled can cause problems during installation if you don't have DSDT.   You should now be able to install macOS Mojave 10.14.4 without any problems. Once you have installed macOS Mojave 10.14.4, then use the (Aorus Z390 Pro EFI - NO DSDT) EFI folder and copy it to your system drive EFI partition.

Howdy  

 

Just updating guide with a pre install EFI folder. I noticed that when BIOS Above 4G Decoding is Enabled it causes bad problem with last 2 mins of Mojave install and other problems with shutdown and kernel panics.  But with 4G Decoding Disabled then everything is good.

 

But when using DSDT with BIOS Above 4G Decoding Enabled there is no problem, everything good.

Hiya,

 

I have two issue and was wondering if you knew how to fix them.

 

Problem 1 - When my hack goes to sleep my webcam turns off and wont turn back on unless I quit and re-open FaceTime. 

Problem 2 - When my hack wakes my on-board audio doesn't work, I am mainly worried about my mic input.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Set "Reset HDA" option in clover config to true, and see if resolves issue. Will have a look at this sometime later.

Cameron, if you are using BIOS version F5. Change BIOS settings to match guide. Then replace patched folder in ACPI in Cover with patched.zip . I tested this and sleep and sound is playing upon wake.

 

I made edit below to DSDT.

Hiya,

 

Thanks for that. However both issues still persist. I also do have ResetHDA in clover.

 

Thanks

I had a look through your Clover folder from the Send me Camerons-iMac.zip you sent. Noticed you had extra ( unneeded ) 11 x SSDT in your ACPI folder, you only need DSDT, SSDT-UIAC, and SSDT-USBX. Also you had some boot args missing, I replaced AptioMemoryFix with OSXAptioFix2Drv-free2000 . Attached below, is my Clover folder. Replace your existing Clover folder with that. And you should be sorted.

Thank you,

 

My clover did not have all the SSDT's in it for some reason that RunMe.app put them there.

 

You're clover fixed the audio issues but not the webcam. 

 

I forgot to edit my RT Variables and SMBios in your config, now I don't have iMessage or FaceTime. Guess the waiting game starts for my Authentication Token to reset

Don't think you need to wait for authentication token, download and paste  EmuVariableUefi-64.efi  into drivers64UEFI and next configure config.plist for iMessages. Then shut down computer, restart and then log into iMessages and then after successful iMessages / FaceTime login, then delete EmuVariableUefi-64.efi 

 

What happens if you unplug / replug webcam, does webcam then work ?  kinda difficult getting the 100% perfect hack

Hiya,

 

So right now I have my original drivers folder and config, which has given me working audio after sleep and my iMessage and FaceTime back. I suspect it is because of the lack of AptioMemoryFix-64.efi in your clover. However I am not sure why audio has started working after sleep, sometimes it doesn't, I'll play with your files if it persists. 

 

Unplugging and plugging in my webcam brings back up the frozen webcam image.

The only solution I have come up with is to download a power manger app that runs the following script after wake

 

Quote

#!/bin/bash
osascript -e 'tell app "/Applications/FaceTime.app" to quit'
open -a "/Applications/FaceTime.app"/
exit 0;

The audio, on awake from sleep stared working after the last remaining  _PWR method was removed from original DSDT.

hi everyone, today I tried to finish the guide, and I have another problem ....... I installed clover and replaced the efi folder as in the guide, and the pc hangs during shutdown ..... I attach photo. with the usb boot no problem ...... where am I wrong?

[herve008]

Many thanks for sharing this guide. Everithing work perfectly for me with almost the same config.

My only problem (but not sure it is) is that when I click on Hardware info, I have the following

Mac mini (2018)

Processor 3,6 GhZ Unknown

 

My processor is an i7 9700K.

Thanks for your help and advice.

 

Again thx for this amzing tutorial

You can sort that by using SMBIOS for iMac19,1 you will find the latest SMBIOS in Clover Configurator version 5.4.2.1

I have tried and then reboot but system crash and doesn't want to bood anymore.

tbh i'm not sure as I don't have the  i7 9700K, I tried a quick test and changed to iMac 19,1 SMBIOS but on boot got an unsupported macOS error, use previous EFI from guide and you can easily provide the missing CPU info. See "About My Mac" in my other guide on how to do this:
