Turn off (actual off with power line unplugged) then turn it on again. It happens on mine. 

 

Thanks @larabee, I ended up having to clear the CMOS with the jumper to even get back into the BIOS, that was ugly, but at least I'm back up and restored to previous EFI. Let me know if anyone gets iMac19,1 working, I'm a little gunshy to try that one again :P.

Thanks @larabee

did it work for you ?

@glasgood Im back...lol....How do I change over to Kamarang?  Its not listed under FB Name.

I believe you can just type any name in on the framebuffer, doesn't have to match an entry in the list.

I typed it in but its still listed as ATY,AMD,RadeonFramebuffer under pci info?

@glasgood What am I doing wrong buddy?

@glasgood @AudioGod I'll take one for the team and let you guys know about the various SMBIOS test. This is Friday afternoon here in southern California, so I have plenty of time to test at night after I finish all of my work.  

 

Test 1: Replaced Glasgood's EFI with Mald0n New EFI, Replace Framebuffer name. @glasgood This turns my 56 into 64 for some reasons... Lots and lots of graphic corruption during booting (screen tearing, rainbow lines, yes double rainbows during verbose boot looks super fun), but so far it's still running fine after logging in. Fans appears to be spinning a lot during testing. Temperature within range 66*C max, voltage is within max range of 1250mv too high for my weak vega56 board.

 

@AudioGod trying beating this score buddy.  I've just had a 30k score jump from 151k to 180k. Will get back with more information

 

Update to graphic card test after several restarts, the score stablized at 184k: 

 

 

@glasgood There are a bunch of Glasgood devices in my PCI hahahha. and I need to remove your 960 Pro PCI too... 

 

 

 

@larabee Have That!!!!!!!

And that's with it not listing as Kamarang under pci info. I dont what I've done wrong now buddy...lol

[AudioGod]

 

Ok, I got it going correctly now and like @larabee My card is showing as a Vega 64 using Kamarang and scoring around 185000.

Il swap over to Iriri now and see if I get the same results as @larabee again

Lol I only posted the lowest of those 3. My high is around 185-186k too.

I tested sleep, have to press the power button for the machine to wake now. Not a big deal.

I got Iriri working with the same results.

Im not getting any artifacting or strange behaviour with the vega56 running as a 64 though but I would prefer to have it as it should be.

Is there not a way to use Kamarang and have it running as a Vega 56 cos it must be pumping to much voltage though the GPUs to be doing this {censored}e?

 

 

 

 

@larabee Same for me with waking from sleep. Power button only now.

@AudioGod I don't see any abnormal temperature on my 56. I've been running Unigine for 2 hours now, stable at 70C with 30C room temperature and close case with limited airflow.

I tried again this time with IMacPro1,1 SMBIOS, Acre framebuffer, and disabling onboard graphics and it worked. Like others, I have to hit the power button to wake from sleep, even after using darkwake=0 on boot args. I then put my Nvidia GPU for windows back in PCI slot 2, but that seems to totally break wake from sleep (previously I had this disabled with an SSDT).

 

Benchmarks for me aren't much different between IMac19,1 and iMacPro1,1 with or without framebuffer, but my ATI card is pretty low end.

How on earth can you bare being in a 30c room?

Where's the aircon?

My gosh buddy your good ...lol

I grew up in Vietnam, hot and humid is nothing to me haha. 

30 C is a norm in California too. 

I tested with final cut pro and see the rendering time is again reduced by 10%

looks like any app using opencl enjoys free performance gain.

I couldn't cope myself if my room was that hot..lol

Outside yes but anything above 25c in my house and I'm cursing...lol

 

How strange that this has happened to our vega"s...my OCD is killing me though but I'm trying to accept it.

 

I can run rocket league at 2160p while cloning to my samsung tv at just under 70fps and I cant do that in windows, not while cloning anyway. I'm lost for words

 

I have just searched about online quickly to see if anybody else has these results with the vega but I've got nothing.

This is fascinating

Run this in terminal while gaming to check temperature / fan speed and core clock: 

 

while sleep 1; do clear;ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock'; done

Here is DSDT that will allow wake from keyboard ==> DSDT.aml if you have any problems with auto wake then revert back to previous.

Love you guys!!

 

first of all BIIG thanks to @glasgood for the GREAT guide!!

 

Following all the steps, and mainly thanks to BIOS screenshots I finally was able to boot into installation and install Mojave!!  

 

I've used the Aorus Pro Z390 EFI - Vega-56.zip  for the usb boot, and worked perfectly for the installation!

 

 

Now I'm on mojave finally,  BUT still booting from usb for now:

 

 

WHAT WORKS FOR NOW

• Audio Works using ("csub" rear port input, the "H" port in the usb scheme in the guide) 
• Lan is recognized (but i didn't tried yet, but I'm confident should work , because it's recognized also in network interfaces) 
• Only the USB 2 ports are working (the 4 rear ports and 2 front)
• Bluetooth dongle iogear GBU521W6  (on the 1 of the usb2 front ports)
• Shutdown and Reboot
• Sleep seems working also (I can awake it using keyboard spacebar)

WHAT DON'T WORKS (for now I hope:))

• My already owned TP-Link TL-WDN4800  PCI (that worked great on Sierra) don't seems to be recognized (can I fix it ? or is better to buy the suggested ABWB BCM943602CS 802.11AC WI-FI With Bluetooth 4.0 ?) and it that case will work also the bluetooth?
• None of the USB 3 ports seems to works (the usb pen light does not light up, and not showing on system)

 

attached system report:

 

 

 

The QUESTION NOW ARE:

 

Now I'm on Post Installation, And I'm pretty confused, WHICH POST INSTALLATION zip should I use now to boot directly from disk without USB ?

Should I just copy everything from working usb EFI or not?

 

And what to do to fix my problems? (usb3 and wifi ?)

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH to All

Hello

 

To boot from drive:

 

1 - Install Clover into Macintosh Drive

 

2 - Then copy and paste Aorus Pro Z390 EFI ( one EFI folder now for pre & post installation )  into the EFI partition

 

3 - USB 3.0 should be working ( you do have Aorus Pro Z390  ? )

 

4 - To keep within the 15 port limit, only two USB2 are enabled on front of case and USB2.0 hub on motherboard for mouse & keyboards etc. 

 

5 - Sorry best to go with recommended WiFi card, cant really help with your WiFi card.

 

Best!

Thank you @glasgood!

 

So Now I'm booting without usb!

Yeah I have a Z390 Aorus pro (sorry just update my build signature)

 

 

I will buy the suggested WIFI card so!

 

So this are my "problems"

 

GPU

Now my GFX Fan are always spinning at max speed

During Sleep they stops, and when awake with POWER button, after login, they start spinning like hell 

 

When I boot with the usb created using Aorus Pro Z390 EFI - Vega-56.zip this does not happens

(maybe i can take some configuration or kext from there?)

 

GPU "should" working good,

But I'm not sure, because Cinebench does NOT shot GPU in the benchmark, but only CPU,

insted LUX seems normal.
What I can try to verify that GPU is working at full speed?

 

 

USB 3

Only the 4 top usb and 2 front are working (this is my sys info, maybe I needed to connect something when mounting mobo? )

 

 

 

AUDIO

Audio now works using Internal Speaker device, and using the LINE OUT port (the "L" port in the usb  port conf Image) it is normal?

But when I switched the audio jack, tI got a black screen, and I was forced to manually reboot  )

Thank you for your time!!

Attach your EFI 

[glasgood]

@gino8080

 

Are you using BIOS version F10 ? just tested out sound and sound ports and all is good on my hack. Change your frame buffer to Iriri or remove it ( if not sure how to do this then send me your EFI ). You can also try booting into windows and changing fan speed of your GPU using vendor .software.

Hi, 

I am new to the Hackintosh Topic and I just cant resolve this issue.
When I boot up for the installation everything goes perfectly fine.. until I want to install Mojave on the previously formatted drive.
No matter what I do, I cant get past the Installer.
It loads shows 3min remaining, 2min and then crashes. Everytime.

I made a Video that shows the problem.
I really hope someone can give me a keyword to search for, because I am lost.
Is it the Mainboard Bios Version?

Video <- here is a video of the process.

Setup:
Z390 Aorus Pro (Bios ver F10)
i5 9600k
RX580 
Samsung Evo 860

That's not a crash, it normal part of the install process. Boot back to your USB installer and go to Clover boot menu and continue installation.

Ok so this are the 2 EFI, also attached as ZIP

 

USB EFI (on the left)

SHould be identical to your Aorus Pro Z390 EFI - Vega-56.zip 

used for first boot and Mojave installation

(this has the SSD-Vega-56, maybe this is needed for the always on fans?) 

 

HD EFI (on the right)

Should be identical to your Aorus Pro Z390 EFI 

And its the EFI isntalled in the HD of the installed Mojave

 

In both cases no USB 3 port of the rear panel is working (also the usb c)

I just installed an external Usb 3 Panel connected to usb3 mobo port, and they are working, but NOT the "natives"

 

USB EFI.zip

HD EFI.zip

First of all thank you so much for the reply and the great guide!

But have you watched the video? In your installation video there is a time of 20+ minutes for the installation shown. But at my installation it shows from the beginning 3min and then it just goes black half way.

 

I dont know if this is normal. And how am I supposed to continue if this is normal? Because I already tried to boot into the ssd with clover, but it just shows that there was an error with the installation and that i should repeat the process. :/
