Do you have the following set in BIOS:

 

MIT → Smart Fan 5 Settings → CPU Fan Control mode → PWM 

 

 

 

But I don't have the "CORSAIR H100i V2 AIO CPU WATER COOLER" 

I'm just using the standard Intel cooler that came with my processor.

 

I'll give it a shot anyways!

UPDATE:

Still not sleeping.

 

Didn't tell you but to wake it up I can't use the power button because it doesn't do anything. Just by pressing any button of the keyboard and the screen turns on again

Try EmuVariableUefi-64 and slide=0 boot args.

Test by changing BIOS setting below:

 

• Chipset → Internal Graphics → Auto

 

Can you run Hackintool and show me the output for Power

 

Example from my Hackintosh below

I've left my computer for a while and it went to sleep by its own, everything correct...but if I go to the Apple menu to sleep manually it doesn't work . 

In a while I'll try what you say and post again! Thanks!!

 

The "EmuVariableUefi-64" you mean the kext or a bootflag?

slide=0 is already in your EFI

I just wanted to say a massive thank you too your guide buddy as I have near enough all the same parts as you do and had it all working to a degree until I came across your guide and now my system is totally flawless and everything works as it should. Thank you so much for this, it made my day.

I have a couple of questions if that's ok?

I noticed that you have it set as 19,1 not 18,3 yet when I check about my mac it still displaying it as a 2017 iMac not the 2019 one. Should I put it back too 18,3 until clover comes with an update making 19,1 work correctly or is something wrong on my end?.

Also last question, Is there any way to get the front USB c port working by any chance and why is it that all the USB ports can't be enabled on the back of the z390 pro and why wont the 3.0 ones at the back run 2.0 but the ones at the front ain't fussy?

I look forward to hearing back from you and for the last time thank you so so much.

In my Hackintosh I see iMac 2019. Did you update Mojave to 10.14.5?

Previously SMBIOS for the guide was for Mac Mini 2018 with macOS Mojave 10.14.4 . SMBIOS for iMac 19,1 did not work with macOS Mojave  10.14.4 as it required a special build of macOS. 

 

Now with macOS Mojave version 10.14.5, hackintosh guide has working SMBIOS for iMac  19,1 . I feel this is a better SMBIOS for this hackintosh especially for Final Cut users. If you have updated to 10.14.5 then use Clover configurator and change to SMBIOS 19,1

 

As far as I known, real Mac's have less than 15 USB ports. Having more than 15 USB ports causes problems with hackintosh, hence the ports limit patch. 

So to keep USB port count below 15,  I have disabled some USB ports.

 

So I disabled USB 2 on the back of the hackintosh and enabled then on the front of case / chassis. My case does not have front USB C so it is not enabled on case, but it is enabled on the back of the Aurus Pro.

 

I wrote a guide, a step by step guide on how to make your own SSDT for custom USB mapping. Link below:

Hackintool without changing anything yet:

 

 

 

Download EmuVariableUefi-64.efi and place it inside Clover drivers folder. 

You may already have slide=0 in your config.plist. 

 

On some systems, EmuVariableUefi-64.efi can cuase intermittent post memory allocation errors,   this might not be the case with your BIOS version.

Hi! 

Testing now with a new usb 2.0 

cross fingher....!

the mounted volumes high numbers make me think there is something else that is wrong... 

ho well, let’s see! 

Later

 

[blackwalker]

Nothing.... no way! 

Say MountedVolumesCount = 24 many times during install.. then exit, dunno if this is the problem! 

Mid you see it create the APFS volume, then something go wrong, but I dunno what... i’m Lost now!!

I suspect that you do not have a problem with the installer, looks like you may have problem with the disk you are trying to install onto. Possibly the disk is not being reformatted properly. 

 

Try:

 

1 - Boot into Windows, and use "Windows Disk Managment" and reformat "ssd 500 gb samsung 860 evo drive" that you are attempting to install Mojave onto. 

2 - Remove / disconnect  " 2tb m2 970 samsung" and  "2tb crucial " drives

3 - Connect  "ssd 500 gb samsung 860 evo drive" to SATA port 0

4 - Boot from Mojave USB installer.

 

5 - Open Disk Utility 

 

 

 

Below you want to choose your "ssd 500 gb samsung 860 evo "

 

 

 

 

 

If installation fails, then try another SSD / HDD drive.

First use Hackintool and attempt to fix sleep image:

 

 

 

Shutdown and restart and then test sleep.

 

 

 

If problem persists:

 

Can you run the following command in terminal:

 

 

Command to save sleepimage to RAM

 

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

 

Other alternatives:

 

Command to save sleep image to Disk

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1

 

Command to save sleep image to RAM and Disk

 

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

Hi man 

I do exactly how you wrote yesterday,

formatted like you show!

Then tested with only 16gb memory and only ssd on sata 0, but get same error!! 

 

The only thing that is different is format the ssd with windows before!

 

but the first time i used it was full working in windows...

 

I think that maybe the disk have some problem.. I have another ssd, but I have to get it.

 

i’ll try With it later

Ho well, I have another evo 860 and a evo 850,

trying with 860, but I doubt it’s a ssd problem...all worked like a charm!!

 I'm using Samsung EVO 840,  possibly firmware on 860 could be cause of problem. I would test with the 850. 

[blackwalker]

On the 860 i found that I have to update the firmware... maybe now can work?

Lets tey

 

then i’ll Check the 850 pro

Good question... I think the last!!

 

so,

tested the 860 with new firmware, same problem

 

now testing with 850 pro

 

i read somewhere that many pp have problems with 860 like for others was ok!

 

someone write that after upgrading sata cable all was ok....

 

i have all new, case too!

what hd cable ‘d use??

 

anyway testing just now with 850 pro

 

i’m bored  

but i’ll Continue!!! 

 

 

 

PS: i see a strange thing, when i format the 860 first time after upgrade firmware, it write the container “disk23”, then I format again and write “disk3”.... so I continue and got error!

 

now with 850 pro, I see again “disk23” and now i’m installing... 

 

thats strange... a lot strange!! 

 

I’ll update in some minutes....

Thanks I will give that a go later and try and create my own USB setup. Can I send you a copy to check please once I've done it?

Also one last question, I fixed the problem with it not displaying my build as a 2019 iMac and now its sorted but my cpu is a 9900k and it was showing as a i7 instead so what I did was changed the cpu type in clover too 0x1005 and now its showing as a i9 like it should. Did I do the right thing there or is there something different I should do?

Thanks for your help mate, I really appreciate it.

@blackwalker

 

Looks like you have now ruled out hardware from causing installation to fail.

 

You mention you created the installer using VM, did you download macOS Mojave from App Store ?  

My Hackintosh guide and EFI ( Clover version ) are confirmed working for macOS Mojave 10.14.4 and 10.14.5 

 

( Previous macOS Mojave versions such as 10.14.3 may cause problems with installation. I can not confirm the new, latest Clover version used in my PRE and POST install is working with older versions of Mojave and patches in config.plist )
