Follow tutorial and after installation of Mojave in Devices Properties change:

 

Change:

device-id 983E0000

 

Change:

AAPL,ig-platform-id 0300983E

 

 

 

 

 

Only that??

just it?

I noticed that the "platform-id" is different from the 8700 to the 9700k, somewhere do I need to change something related to it?

Yeah, that WiFi card is compatible. Gigabyte Z390M gaming is good and MaLdOn >> here has great / solid guide and perfect Clover EFI for that board.  So you can easily follow this guide and just use MaLd0n's Clover EFI folder. 

 

Thank you!

[soniferous_fox]

Sorry, one more question. What is the difference between your pre and post EFI folders - is it just the Fake SMC kext's? If so, you can just delete those? Or is there something else need in the pro not in post? Just trying to marry up with MaLdOn's folder.

 

Thanks.

I mainly test macOS installation using Pre-Install EFI folder, so I know it is good for Installing macOS Mojave. With Post-Install EFI folder I can easily make changes & update's, as it is used post install I know those changes will work. As any changes are separate from Pre-Install EFI folder, then any changes will not hinder or effect macOS installation. 

 

Post-Install has:

• EmuVariableUefi-64.efi ( Emulates NVRAM with RC scripts, needed for working iMessages, Facetime )
• FakeSMC.kext (for use with HWMonitor ) 
• Patch (GPRW to XPRW change Method(GPRW,2,N) to XPRW, pair with SSDT-GPRW.aml) to fix automatic wake from sleep 
• Ports limit patch is disabled. 
• Contains PCI Properties import ( for Aorus Z390 Pro )

Hey Glassgood, 

 

Apologies if this was mentioned already but I couldn't seem to find anyone with a similar issue: 

Followed your guide and used both pre and post EFI zips. I have a couple of issues I was hoping you could point me in the right direction?

 

1) Machine goes to sleep after a while (Computer sleep set to 'never' in Energy Saver prefs). I even have the app 'caffeine' to stop it from sleeping.  Pressing power button or hitting keyboard does nothing to wake from sleep and i'm forced to reboot to get back into MacOS. Manually setting sleep seems to work intermittently.

 

2) RX580 Sound ( via DP Cable) works well through my monitor, but anything plugged into my headphone/audio out ports have this weird issue where the volume jumps up and down randomly!

 

Random note: Did you know there is difference in quality in HDMI vs DP cable? I had HDMI 4K @ 60 hz and just thought everything looked a bit weird. Found a post about this topic and tried a DP cable (good quality one that explicitly states 21Gbps.

 

Thank you again for your amazing guide. I've just added an OOB BT dongle the my rig and I am happily using Imsg, Facetime and Airdrop!

 

Cheers!

Hi @digital_is_now

 

Are you using Aorus Z390 Pro motherboard? Send my your EFI flder.

Hey Buddy I hope your well,

Quick question if you don't mind?

Ive got a bluetooth 4.0 dongle and it works just fine but I don't have options for airdrop anywhere and I'm invisible to a iPad or iPhone. is this because I'm not using a wifi/bluetooth pcie card or should airdrop be working with my current bluetooth dongle?

@AudioGod

 

I think AirDrop requires both Bluetooth and WiFi, supposedly bluetooth is used for discovery and then WiFi  to transfer files. 

 

You can try and use AirDrop over Ethernet, not sure if it will work. 

 

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1

 

killall Finder

 

To disable Airdrop over Ethernet:

 

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 0

Yeah I thought it would be something.like that, ok in that case il just buy a pcie card.

What one would you recommend?

Theres one on Amazon that's 39.99 that claims its compatible, would that do?

 

[New Version] ABWB 802.11AC WI-FI With Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM943602CS Combo Card For Hackintosh (MAC OS X) Airport Computers, Supports Hands-off https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MBP25UK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_T7.8CbWVND571

 

Also I'm going to need to add a internal USB splitter as I'm using both already. That shouldn't be a problem should it? 

 

Thanks for your help as always buddy

Yeah, ABWB 802.11AC WI-FI With Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM943602CS Combo Card For Hackintosh is good! 

I'm using the >> BCM94331CD from an iMac ( it does  required AirportBrcmFixup.kext ) and PCI-e adapter. 

 

Possibly safer to have the Wifi/Bluetooth combo cards 9 pin connected separately to F_USB2 header and USB splitter attached onto F_USB1 header  if possible, but might not make any difference.

That totally works, airdrop is now working over ethernet but it's also now not encrypted from device to device so theres the downside of not using a wifi and bluetooth combo but saying that I'm not really sure that i care as my network is safe enough as is I guess.. hmmm intresting.

 

Thank you for that buddy, awesome.

Yep sure am. 

Sorry i just realised manually sleeping seems to work as long as i press the power button to bring it back. if i let it auto sleep it wont come back on without reset.

 

 

Here's my EFI. Was too large to attach here:

Hello, EFI folder is good. I tested auto sleep and Hack returned from sleep (worked)  when pressing power button. Here is screenshot of my sleep settings viewed in Hackintool.

Weird, I was just about to post my screenshot of my Power Saving panel as I didn't see the Power Nap etc any longer, and I see your panel does not have the option there either.   I am having some difficulty connecting to the build over the network once it is asleep.  Plex, Media Servers etc. so I am trying to locate the issue.  Turned on File Sharing in Sharing prefs, and will see what that does.  Sleep works fine, just won't wake over network.

Just fixed this, see new uploaded EFI and read update

Had a further look into this, here is a fix. I don't use sleep myself but glad you flagged this up. 

 

See update

If I may be bold and jump in - Looking at the 'Energy Saver' posted, I noticed a choice of only 4 settings offered where as mine has 5 (See included pic - The Mac Model I chose is 17.1). Would I be thinking it goes according to Mac Model used, I am just curious.

 

Hi @eSaF

 

Yes, different Energy Saver profile according to Mac Model used. I'm using iMac 19,1.

As far as I know, there are a few versions of the BCM943602CS with different number of antenna, some have 3 and 4.  Someone recently mentioned having lag and resolved issue by replacing the card. What happens if you move machine nearer the wireless router, does anything improve.

Hi @nelio33

 

Try adding the following hot patch to config.plist. Wifi cards are listed under ARPT in macOS and not PXSX. It's not essential that you should need to rename PXSX to ARPT for working WiFi, but in this instance it may be helpful.

 

 

So here are the steps:

• Identify the address, bellow PXSX may be rooted under RP08

 

 

• Using Clover configurator apply the following Hot Patch :   
• Find Device: _SB.PCI0.RP08.PXSX                               ( PXSX is attached to a different root then use that root address. So here my root for PXSX is RP08 ) 
• Rename: ARPT

 

 

• Save Clover Configurator 
• Shutdown / and start Hackintosh ( may cause a kernel panic on restart, if it does just restart Hackintosh )
• Check that rename has taken effect ( So, _SB.PCI0.RP08.PXSX   is now  _SB.PCI0.RP08.ARPT )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this is helpful ?

Hi Buddy,

Side note for you....My sleep and wake under power saver or by manually putting the system to sleep works perfectly without any of the changes that you needed to do.

The only difference between me and you is I have erp enabled you you have it disabled so I set it to disabled on my build too and then experienced the same problems with sleep as you did.

Do you want to test and see if that's the case for you too?

I thought you might wanna know anyway

Hi @AudioGod

 

I don't think Wake on Lan will work with ERP enabled, so this would effect "Wake for network access" in Energy Saver. I had a read through ERP and there seems to be pro's (motherboard allowing itself to full power down)  and cons such as Wake on Lan or charging USB device ( Apple wireless Keyboard & Mouse users ) Moreover, I don't like how computer briefly automatically powers on and off when power cord is plugged into ac outlet / socket ( without me pressing power on button on computer chassis / case ). Though, there may be away to stop the automatic power on by using AC BACK BIOS setting.  But thanks anyway, always appreciate other point of view.

Hello

 

I found my problem, I'm ashamed lol , the wifi terminal was limited in power to 25% I had to configure it several years ago to protect my brain from fukushima radiation ...

 

I get a proper navigation now, and the speed is more better, I think the limiting factor is the access point "EX3700" I use little wifi, I just wanted to test this card with which I can not still not having imessage and facetime.

Do you think the second card choice (work with kext) would be better with imessage and facetime?
