@AudioGod did you ever get your build sorted out? Are you up and running on a new DSDT? Did you require an SSDT as well? If so, can you post it because I want to compare the 3 DSDTs we have so far for this board.

 

 

Hey Buddy,

No not yet, Its more complex then most people think so I'm waiting on Mald0n to have some free time to go though it all properly.

He totally agrees with me that's theres something very a miss. 

He did do a SSDT for me as well as a new DSDT but for the life of me I don't know what it's for. Something to do with usb by the look of it.

Il ask him when I next chat to him.

Fascinating.....Il give it a try on the test system tomorrow and see what happens 

 

@texem out of interest what happens when you let the system goto sleep and then wake it up and the  shut it down?

Do you motherboard leds turn off when the system shuts down or do they sttay on? Also only if you have erp enabled can you start up  normally after doing the above? If erp is disabled then ignore the last question.

The USB 3 port in glasgood original EFI and DSDT EFI is patched in a way that disable USB2 on USB3 ports. You can create your own USB patch using the guide included in the first post. 

 

Well I'm not sure if I did it right, but it seems to work so far.

 

I run hackintool, went to USB tab, removed everything and refreshed, then I exported and it placed in my desktop two files "SSDT-UIAC.aml" and "USBPorts.kext", I then mount my EFI partition and deleted the DSDT.aml that was inside CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ folder and placed my newly generated SSDT-UIAC.aml file, then I replaced the USBPorts.kext file located in CLOVER/kexts/Others/ with the one generated in desktop from hackintool, then rebooted and now it seems that everything is working fine again.

 

I attach here the two files that where generated from hackintool.

 

 

This is what I have plugged in my USB ports:

 

In my previous EFI that I kept as a backup, I also had an SSDT-GRPW.aml file but I have no clue what is it for. Other EFI's that I saw posted in this topic also contain SSDT-EC and SSDT-USBX files, but still I have no clue what they are for so I did not include any of them.

 

I also attach my clover configuration zip here.

 

What I also noticed is that now I'm not able to monitor my GPU temperature via iStat Menus as I used to with previous EFI

 

 

PS:

I was just about to put my computer to sleep, only to realise that sleep isn't working any more, it reboots almost immediately. The first time I tried, it entered in sleep mode all the way until the computer was actually powered off, I accidentally pressed a button on my keyboard and it woke up and rebooted immediately. I tried to put it in sleep mode about 3 - 4 times, but once it enters sleep mode it reboots right away. Also I used to wake up my computer from sleep by pressing the power button, how can I revert back this behaviour? I really don't like anything other my power button to wake up my computer.

 

Thanks!

Just a guess: On the Aorus Pro only HS11 and HS12 are internal USB 2.0 ports. Maybe that's why some devices prevent sleep.

 

You can try my SSDT if you want. Sleep is working fine for me

@Cipha thanks for the suggestion!

 

I tried your SSDT first, but for some reason my USB ports was messed up, ports that was USB 3, where treated like usb 2 and I wasn't getting USB 3 speed on my USB 3 device (d3 Station) which was connected on USB 3 port. Then I tried a USB 3 flash disk on a few USB 3 ports and the speed was very low as well

 

I then tried to create my own SSDT but as I said, I'm not experienced on this stuff, it is my first hackintosh and I'm not sure what I did wrong...

Am I safe to do update from 10.14.6 to 10.14.6 Supplemental which came up on this Monday?

 

Thank you guys!

[panosru]

I reverted back to my previous EFI because the one with iMac Pro 1,1 was too buggy for me

 

Thanks!

btw: with DSDT-EFI got an unresolvable issue on a second machine I'm currently setting up.

Identical hardware, same mobo,  but the diff is a i7-8600K CPU and Sapphire 560, not 580 .

Thought it's easy going using same Clover with EFI from the i9 setup with DSDT, clearing CMOS, configure same F10 BIOS with identical fresh BIOS settings after battery remove etc etc but no chance, system behaves strange (hangs during boot early). Clover "F11" does not help .. some un-initialized things or wrong access to native NVRAM ?!

So currently no luck with DSDT EFI on this machine , only the "classic" RX580 Version is running without issues. 

 

 

 

Quoting self ..

I am now successfully running EFI _with_ DSDT on my second build now

 

Found out the issue and wondering someone knows what's going on:

 

based on glasgood's EFI switching from FAKESMC.kext (used by former EFI) to VirtualSMC.kext.

Bamm .. it crashes all the time. Back to FAKESMC system boots and all is well.

 

Any ideas ? tnx

I was just hit with the dreaded shutdown bug again - where something happens to the BIOS and it doesn't show the BIOS splash page anymore on startup. Everything else still seems to be working though, I can sleep/wake normally still. Not sure what happens to the BIOS to cause this, but trying to get to bottom of it (also I'm running 2 video cards). Interestingly, this happened when I shut down from Windows.

Oh wow nw this I have not tried.  I’m gonna try that right now buddy and report back. Give me 10mins.

 

@larabee try it too. Something new with a claim of success...fingers crossed.

I don't have hair in the beginning, so... you lose on the who has less hair faster haha. Sent you a quick message about the PCI power lane is not closing off, but I think I should post the info here to see if anyone can agree with it. 

You suspect PCI lane is not closing fully and there is still power running from the graphic card... Good idea to test out. 

your Nitro+ rx580 is using NCP81022 voltage controller which produces 4+1 phases and running as 3+1 with doubler to make it 6 phases without any Dynamic Phase Control and Automatic Power State Switching features. 

whereas Gigabyte Rx580 Aorus is running IR3567B 6+2 and has Dynamic Phase Control and Automatic Power State Switching with auto phase detection and auto compensation. 

depending on the BIOS approach of the 2 cards, those chips may interfere with shutdown if DSDT/SSDT is extracted from gigabyte and run on nitro+? 

 

@AudioGod I'll give FakeSMC a try.

Thanks for posting it. I may give it a go once I've sorted out a super stable setup. I'm sticking with the SSDT EFI for now because it can reliably get me into FileVaulted volumes. I'll keep your EFI around to test later.

 

The system was stable for a good half dozen sleep wakes over the course of 30 hours. Yesterday late evening, the primary display flickered a few times - leading to a freeze. At least that's consistent - the pre-freeze screen flickering. The secondary display went white. The primary display black.

 

After holding the power button to shut down the hack, the motherboard LEDs stay on.

 

I've swapped out the RedDragon RGB USB keyboard for an Apple full size aluminium USB keyboard. The mouse is a Logitech MX518 USB mouse. These are the only 2 devices plugged in.

 

Let's see how long this lasts. I'll reset the BIOS this weekend. Back to work...

@larabee or anybody know why im getting these warnings on boot up and how to fix it?

How strange,

Can you post or PM me a couple of close up pictures of the inside of your build please so I can have a look and see if I can spot anything?

Also what power supply are you using?

Your problems sound totally hardware based to me and nothing to do with clover. More so if your having problems in windows.

I don't think it's a problem with electric network at your home. What Power supply are you using? 

@AudioGod I've had similar problems to @gino8080 before but it seems to be gone after I stop using my old sound card... is this related to sound card / motherboard issues? Any thoughts on this to help him out? 

 

@gino8080 You can use Intel Power Gadget to see your CPU temperature. For GPU, I run this command from terminal to check temperature: 

 

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

 

 

Hello and sorry for late answer,

 

So these are my pics of the build (a bit messy )

hope they are clear, otherwise I'll shoot new with better light and/or zoom

Do you see something strange?

 

the power supply is a Cooler Master V1000 (bought less than 1 year ago)

 

Now I mounted a new noctua fan (for the case) and attacched a APC BR1500GI  1500 VA, tried disconnecting power, and seems working on battery without problems

 

Now seems pretty stable, temps "seems" good  these are in idle..

(Istat menu screen)

 

 

I'm using the integrated mobo sound, BUT i did not tried again disconnecting/connecting the audio jack, because that was the problem, i'll try again to see If i'll got a black screen

 

BUT NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM with bluetooth not anymore recognized! and so also airdrop stopped working

DOn't know why, the only new hardware thing changed, is the new noctua fan that is a 4pin (the old was a 3 pin)

I also changed the usb port of the Abwb 802.11AC Wi-Fi  (PCI-E) BCM943602CS , and removed the front usb from the other port (so atm I have only 1 of the 2 usb2 port busy with the  Abwb bluetooth cable)

 

What can be the problem for the bluetooth stopping working? (i''l check in windows if it's recognized)

EDIT: SOLVED!

As suggested from  @ilcondannato (ciao caro grazie l'ho visto prima che lo cancellassi! :))

I just swapped pci port, and also usb2 port (for the bluetooth cable) and now it's working good!

I also changed Country code to #4 and also TX rate seems better!

 

THANK YOU!

Resolved problem

[hackinbot]

Oh boy. Installed Fenvi T919 yesterday. Worked immediately. Continuity and airdrop worked. Decided to reset BIOS by pulling the battery for 20 minutes to see if it fixes the freeze issue. 

 

Set bios settings back according to Glasgood’s first post.

 

Now I cant boot from FileVault at all unless if I use the 2000-free driver.

 

“Couldn’t allocate runtime area...” error.

 

UHD630 is disabled in bios. Ugh... I may have to start from scratch. Even the carbon copy clone can’t boot up unless if I use the 2000-free driver (which should be avoided if possible).

 

anybody have that dreaded error pop up again recently?

I have it on my real mac too. 

You can safely ignore the AppleInternal/Library/Extensions because it’s meant for developing apps. 

So if you want to add something to /System/Library/ for testing, but don't want to do it in the "real" software - you could add it to /AppleInternal/System/Library/ instead - and get the same effect. If the folder doesn’t exist and some kexts call for it, you will see the warning. 

 

For the Proceed w/o DiskArbm it’s The disk arbitration daemon that maintains the list of available disks for graphical interface. Did you turn on TRIM? Try doing a disk repair in safe mode. 

 

I think those warnings are tied to some IO problems that needs to be patched but it also appears on my real iMac 2017 then it’s an Apple thing, not hackintosh particular problem.

I went ahead and reinstalled the hack using Glasgood's EFI-DSDT version. Everything went smoothly. Added the required Filevault drivers to EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI, unhide Preboot partition in Clover's config and then enabled Filevault.

 

The only thing not working right now is iMessage and FaceTime because the ROM and BoardSerialNumber are not being saved (or read?) from NVRAM. Hackintool shows this:

 

ROM                            ???
Board Serial Number            ???

 

iMessageDebug shows that those 2 fields are "failed". I did the HelloWorld nvram test and confirm that nvram IS working, it's just that these 2 values aren't being written by the clover config into NVRAM.

 

I'm leaving this for now and will return in 2 weeks to continue troubleshooting. If anybody has any ideas how to fix this with native nvram that would be greatly appreciated. All of the other fixes online say to enable nvram emulation with a different Aptio memory driver, but I thought that would be incompatible with Glasgood's DSDT EFI. Not sure - I'm still learning the dos and don'ts of hackintoshing.

[D3v1L]

All ok now with all!

All working!

All perfect!

 

all with "only" my "little" 5,1ghz i5 9600k on Catalina 19A526h b5  

i7/i9 not needed ...I'm photographer and video maker not really need it...only ram and m.2

Any advice on this?

 

maybe I have to swap PCI port and use another one (maybe the one more distant from cpu) ?

 

On windows only WIFI is working (already installed bootcamp drivers) but bluetooth does not appear

[allanau]

Hey Everyone! Got my z390 in a sleeper IBM classic case... I just like the idea of using a IBM case with modern parts running Mac OS LOL

 

Anyways I am having this issue when I have the 10gbe ethernet card installed and the rx570 HDMI does not work at all... So I connected my monitor via Disaplayport and it works fine but I have a TV that I need to connect to for FCPx while I am editing so I can't use any of the HDMI, I did try DisplayPort to HDMI and it semi work but only at 1080i or lower res, WEIRD! When I take our the network the HDMI works fine! 

 

Any ideas?

 

The 10gbe adapter I got is Aquantia AQtion 10G (AQN-107)
