Hi, I am using the Pro Wifi Mainboard model and I known it is not as in the guid, but after all, with your EFI I was able to see the apple logo, then it disappears and I got a black screen without any errors.

 

Which settings I have to make to get my pc working with just the iGPU as a graphic card?

@gino8080 I used the same setup as yours. My monitor has 1 DP (hookup to nvidia for 144hz gsynz) and 1 HDMI (hookup to AMD), it auto detects the sources, and with AMD disabled in device manager in windows, the monitor automatically pickup signal from Nvidia card. Not sure if your monitor can do that.

What's the price of 2080 in your area? It's a much better choice buying used 2080.  

 

Hello @larabee mine is an "old" Zotac 1080 , I paid about 1200€  i suppose about 1 year ago 

 

Btw i'm getting serious instability problems using both cards 

 

I mean, I disabled the secondary PCI using the ssdt from the good @tasc

 

BUT my system got a lot of problems:

• on OSX , no secondary card is visible from system, so ssdt seems working good, BUT my osx randomly reboots without any apparent reason!!  sometimes on the new boot I lost usb or bluetooth dongle..
• on WINDOWS I got lots of problem with drivers, and games, maybe the old AMD drivers was causing problems
  so i uninstalled completely and also disabled the card (now is listed in device manager as generic display something..)
  I got a lot of crashes while playing games, so i disabled also the xbox bar overlay , and also the secondary monitor and seems going better, but I need to test more
• Now I phisically removed the secondary GTX card and OSX seems Stable as before

Could be a problem with energy / wattage / power consumption? my power supply is a Cooler Master v100 so i suppose should be sufficent

 

Or maybe is a Temperature problem? the 2 gpu are really big, and my case is so small, maybe the Gpus or the mobo become too hot?

 

 

Sorry for my Maccaroni english  hope I explained my problems

 

[velopitex]

Thank you! You save my life!!!

Can anybody help me with some issue please?

 

I have the almost the same build as author. My GPU is different (RX 5700XT Nitro+) and maybe my PCI-E WiFi/Bt card is different because it does not have works properly for me with this below kexts:
 - AirportBrcmFixup.kext

 - BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

 - BrcmPatchRAM3.kext

After deleting all this kexts my WiFi/Bt card works natively.

 

1st problem is when I start PC. I have the "STOP" sign ("first_boot_issue_" screenshot) on the display instead Apple Logo and after reset button OS works as normal. I don't Understand what's I'm do wrong.

 

2nd problem is have an error when try to Clover update ("clover_update_issue_" screenshot). I tried to disable Gatekeeper via Hackintool ("gate_keeper_" screenshot) but error still have in place.

 

3rd problem come with sleep mode. I have no sleep settings in Energy Saver for PC only for display off time ("sleep_settings_" screenshot). But if I put my OS manually to sleep after wake up have freeze screen and working only mouse via USB connection. After some time it have reboot automatically and I have the error/ info in next OS loading ("after_sleep_" screenshot).

P.S. sorry for my English this is not my first language.

UPD

If after sleep run Google Chrome whole system just freezing and waiting some time reboot it self. After reboot have a "Problem Report" window and error-info "after_sleep_" screenshot.

First thing to do: double check temperature in windows while gaming. Run stress test of the card to see if there's any issue with it.

Second thing to do:  If in OSX, there's no second card detected then you're good to go in terms of SSDT. The second PCI-16 slot is disabled. You can try remove the SSDT and run clover boot flag: nv_disable=1 to see if you still lost USB

 

Third thing to try: In windows: Do a Clean installation of driver and remove all AMD related. Remove Geforce experience if installed. It's a coolermaster V1000 , so wattage is not an issue but if it's too old then capacitor aging may reduce the efficiency and make the PSU unstable while under high load. 

 

4th thing to try: Remove the AMD card, put Geforce card in slot #1 and try it in windows to see if your games still crashes. 

 

And don't sorry about your english, English is my secondary language too. Learning is a part of life my friend.

I have the exact same wifi card , I only use AirportBrcmFixup.kext and remove the rest. 

About clover update, did you install it to the right drive? 

With 5700XT, I still have some problems with sleep

 

Your english is really good, брат.

Yes I chose the right destination for clover updates but still have an error. For now using USB for clover updating and than copy files from USB to EFI.
 

And i have another issue, my pc turns on automatically after shut down macOS.

 

P.S. also using the second method with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi and iMac19.1 smbios and now in my system i see intel UHD630 igpu.

 

Thanks, брат.

Saw your message but I will reply here for everyone too. Looks like a lot of people are asking the same questions. 

You don't really need to update clover to the latest version if the current one is working just fine. I'm running v5097 at this moment.

Radeon 5700XT does work but it's not perfect at this moment. Apple optimized everything for the 5500M first but 5700XT is not the 5500M, so expect instability.  

I'm currently running SMBIOS iMac Pro 1.1 with iGPU disabled. Everything works perfectly fine except for Sidecar. 

If you get random kernel panic at boot, that means some nvram doesn't get clear up. You can do a simple restart and it should work. If this continues, try OsxAptioFix2Drv -free2000 with iMac Pro SMBIOS too

Are you using the correct DSDT for your GPU?

download thet DSDT (vega navi) from the guide and try again.

 

also if your going to use OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi then make sure your using EmuVariableUefi.efi and install clover RC Scripts.

I switched back to iMac Pro 1.1 now (to try to fix sleep issue) I'll try to use OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000 with it. My main issue now is full freezing after sleep. I see login field but all GUI is stuck as keyboard (magic keyboard 2) and mouse (Magic Mouse 2) my second USB mouse don't work too. Only reset button to help for this. For now I think the best way for me to constantly turn off sleep in Energy Saver settings. Until I can find any solution. 

 

P.S. Can anyone give a suggestion to how I can change SMBIOS without lost my registered license for soft and apps like Adobe, Waves Audio Plugins, iLok etc. I lost my registered licenses in all-time when SMBIOS changing.

macOS will save preferences based on your SMBIOS config. So if you are switching between different ones (iMac vs iMacPro) make sure you save those settings somewhere (serial number, etc) so you can switch back and forth without creating multiple profiles. You'll have to configure each one independently the first time, but once you do that you should be good to go I think. Also remember to logout of iCloud and Messages before switching your SMBIOS config.

 

You can see what host profiles your computer has saved against by looking in:

~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/

@velopitex Save your serial numbers, boards ID etc etc in your SMBIOS and also RTVariables. 

and as @tasc said, Log out of Adobe and icloud before switch SMBIOS. With adobe, it will glitch out the first time you switch SMBIOS if you dont logout.

Hi,

Can someone share the updated EFI folder of their working builds for macOS Catalina I have the same configs just that I don't have any dedicated GPU and wanted to use the built-in Intel Graphics. I don't have much knowledge, It would really very helpful if someone can share their EFI with Intel Graphics working and with BIOS F11.

 

Motherboard: GB Z390 AORUS Pro

CPU: Intel I7 9700K

SSD: Samsung Evo 860 M.2 256GB SSD

RAM: 8GBx2 Corsair Vengence 3200

Dedicated GPU: NO

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

My EFI and DSDT’s On this guide are not designed to work with just the igpu unfortunately, You would need to patch Clover to run just the igpu (you can do that using Hackintool) but the dsdt would be wrong. I’m not sure if it would still work or not saying that.

Best thing you can do is speak to the guru @MaLd0n and request a new DSDT and EFI from this link .

Yes, using right DSDT (Vega navi) also I have random system reboot, maybe issue with 5700XT Nitro+ now in 10.15.1 idk.

 

I'll go to try with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efI again, thanks for info.

 

Have you tried running the Chrome after sleep, any issue with freezing?

Hey!

 

I think I can try to help you. Because when I go to update from Mojave to Catalina with unplugged GPU using UHD630 and have a works (but not tested). But I have 9900k.

 

Can anybody help me please. How to share right my EFI without SN and some important ID with other peopleы to protect myself?

no pal, don't over install clover onto your ssd you don't need to.

the EFI partition will already be there as macOS needs it regardless of clover so it's created at the Catalina install process.

again just take my EFI as is with no changes other then your details and put it into the EFI Partition of your ssd and reboot and your done.

Try It 

 

yes to RC Sprits when you update it, il send you a short video that glasgood did showing the update/install process.

 

So, I finally found some time for trying to get the hack working. 

I updated clover, updated the drivers, updated kexts. Launched the update, after the reboot I see a part of grey background, so it looks like it's actually loading correctly, but I have MAJOR gpu artifacts (80% of the screen covered in green/magenta lines), can't do anything  

[On1ric]

I guess I did something wrong again, I'll need to do another fresh install. I'm quite depressed about this situation, it's my first hackintosh and I knew it wouldn't have been a foolproof process, but I have been struggling with this for way too long now (first attempts in September with iGPU, I wanted to get it working with iGPU and then add the gpu). It's been two months, I got the gpu in the meantime and I'm still stuck with 7mb gpu and artifacts

Hi,

 

Thanks for replying, You can dm me the EFI folder, Rest assure that your identity will be intact. You can also just edit the serial numbers and all from the clover configurator or with just a note editor in config.plist. Just put ### in place of your IDs.

Your help is much appreciated.

Just to finished clean install with attached EFI and works fine as I see but I have not tested, only sleeps and it works for me (see screenshots please)

Replaced 5700XT Nitro+ with my RX570 Pulse using your EFI for Navi (AudioGods Z390 Pro EFI VEGA Navi Radeon VII F11 DSDT) and all works fine, even sleep. After put back 5700XT Nitro+ and have an issues again, full freezing after sleep if I run Hackintool or Google Chrome. And my system can reboot itself randomly (maybe when it try to go sleep idk).

 

Any tips please, help.. because my mind is boiling.

It’s probably because whatevergreen only has basic support for the 5700xt at the moment and Catalina’s drivers for the gpu probably ain’t helping.

i have a 5700xt myself sitting in a box still because it works but not great. Infact it works a lot better for me when I remove the whatevergreen kext and run it purely via catalina drivers. (Give that a try and see what happens) 

you just got to bite the built with the 5700xt for now and wait for better support (WEG 1.3.5 improves it but that’s a work in progress and not released yet)

 

If you going to use the RX Gpu then swap the dsdt for the RX version buddy.

I just did another fresh install. Can someone please give me guidance about updating to 10.15.1? 

1) When I install clover (eg. I now have revision 5098 and I just saw 5099 is available), I'm following the instructions from Glasgood's video (Clover for UEFI booting only, install clover in the ESP, install Install rc scripts on target volume), and only choosing the drivers that are currently in the EFI. audiogod's EFI has 4 drivers, but clover installer only has 3 of those (HFSPlus missing), should I just check those 3 and forget about HFSPlus?

2) should I then install the missing driver using Clover configurator? HFSPlus is available there.

3) when I update kexts, I noticed that after updating VirtualSMC it will ask me to tick some options (SMCBatteryManager, SMCLightSensor, SMCProcessor, SMCSuperIO), should I pick any of those? 

4) BrcmBluetoothInjector, BrcmPatchRAM3 can't be found on clover configurator, so I'm not sure they are up to date, should I just forget about those, or do I have to download up to date versions from somewhere else?

5) during the update install, it will reboot. When it reboots, there are 2 Mac "partitions" in clover, called Macintosh and Macintosh - data. Which one should I let it boot from? How do I remove the automatic booting from clover, so I can prevent it from accidentally booting from the wrong one?

 

Thanks in advance!

Mate, your making life so difficult for yourself. 

start off by getting a working system using my EFI with no touching or a over instal of clover, just leave it exactly as is and enjoy. Forget 5099 for now as it won’t bring anything different to the table. 
once you get it all working as is then you tinker till your hearts content but for now just get yourself up and running and stable.

I absolutely need 10.15.1 to get the 5700xt working, otherwise I wouldn't bother with the update at all
