Ah interesting, I'm guessing you are going opencore route with OcQuirks and FwRuntimeServices? I've seen in another forum where they have replaced AptioMemoryFix by using those. Interested to see how it turns out.

Yep you got it mate, it’s working beautifully so far, I’m testing under 19,1 and it’s rock solid.

gonna replace the main EFI with this one soon if it keeps up the stability like it is and the testers all approve it too.

it works pretty well only issue on my side is Netflix on safari doesn't work and I got black screen still needed agdpmod=pikera anything specific you wanted to test


Netflix not working has nothing to do with the EFI, please read my post about drm issues I made earlier buddy.

 
no just use it for a few days and see how it works for you, it’s more about extra stability and better native nvram compatibility then anything else. Any boot flags you needed before you will still need now like pikera.   :)

I've been super excited for you to release the OC variant. The current one using Clover was dead easy to set up. Just threw some files on a USB and installed macOS :thumbsup_anim:

 

Can't wait :D

If you want someone with a Radeon VII to try it (19.1 smbios, intel i9, auros pro wifi, 32 Gb, Catalina 10.15.2), I am up for it.

I am having an issue with this setup, so after the initial apple loading screen when I want to install, everything goes black and basically stays that way. Anyone else had this issue before?

add the boot argument agdpmod=pikera to the clover config and try again buddy. :)

@artstp1 are you using XMP enabled on your memory without any other changes  and using slot a2 b2? (Furthest slot from the cpu is b2)

if not then do so and try again, also manually set your ram voltage to 1.35v and give it a try.

Thanks for answer!

 

That solution not worked too (changed to a2/b2 and set to 1.35v).

Yesterday i upgraded to 9900k and changed Kingston DDR4 32Gb (2x16) (HX432C18FBK2/32) to Corsair Vengeance Pro (2x16) (CMW32GX4M2C3466C16).

 

Corsair DDR4 in a2/b2 slot, XMP enabled (3466), 16-18-18-36, dram voltage - 1.35v.

External Drive - Samsung T5 connected through USB-C hub (Rear Red USB-C port).

 

Issue not solved - still got message after wake/sleep - "Disk not eject properly" (for all USB drives connected, unplugged and plugged again).

// If I plug a USB flash drive in other USB 3.0 port without an external drive plugged in USB-C hub - no errors, devices remain connected).

 

I found only one solution (other forum) - downgrading memory frequency to 2666MHz.

Please need help! How does this work for you without errors?

 

P.S. Can't get this memory to work at 3600MHz:(. Testing...

that is so odd, have you tried a different usbc hub as I do not have the same problem and I also have a usb c hub permanently connected to my hack yet I do not encounter any of the problems that you do plus my memory is overclocked too.

It seem to me, problem not in USB-C hub only. If I plugged External Drive (Samsung T5) directly in USB 3.0 port - same issue. What USB-C hub and external drive you are using?

just try "jettison" , you can configure what to eject before sleep etc. The problem with "not correctly ejected" also exists on some real Mac's as on my old cheese grater f.i

I need 2 or 3 volunteers who are willing to try my new EFI under 19,1.

who's game?

 

Hi @AudioGod, how's the testing on the new EFI going? Are you switching your personal machine back to 19,1 or keeping it at 1,1?

It’s all perfect, I will always stick at 1,1 personally but 19,1:is working beautifully now under the new EFI.

will update the guide when I have the time :)

NEW EFI & GUIDE UPDATE 17th December


The EFI has now been updated to the my latest version.

Changes made include,

AptioMemoryFix & FSInject have now been replaced with OcQuirks & FwRuntimeServices,

Clover rc scripts is no longer used or needed,

5700XT Optimised to work as best it can be for now,

WEG 1.3.6 (Beta)

Lilu 1.4.1 (Beta)

Clover Updated too Revision 5100

Plus other minor tweaks and changes

 

EFI Update - 17/12/2019

 

19,1 Z390 Pro NAVI-VEGA EFI.zip

19,1 Z390 Pro RX EFI.zip

 

You will need to reset the bios by Removing the power cable and then pulling the battery on the motherboard for a few minutes to totally clear the nvram before loading into Catalina with the new EFI for the first time.

Use the unlocked MSR Bios profile if you can and untick kernelPM in the clover config if you do use it and then make the following changes to the bios, 

 

• Boot -> Windows 8/10 Features -> Win 8/10

• Boot -> CSM Support -> Disabled (Can be set to Enabled if need be but try to have it set to Disabled first)

• Settings -> IO Ports -> Internal Graphics -> Enabled

• Settings -> IO Ports -> DVMT Pre-Allocated -> 64M

• Settings -> IO Ports -> DVMT Total GFX0-Allocated -> 256M

• Settings -> IO Ports -> Aperture Size -> 256MB

• Settings -> IO Ports -> Above 4G Decoding -> Enabled

 

If you prefer using SMBios 1,1 then by all means switch to it but all the old problems of using 19,1 are corrected now with this EFI plus DRM is fully working unless you have a  Polaris gpu. Just to add, SMBios 19,1 is the correct one to be using for our chipset and cpu, if you check the spec of a real macpro it is not a using a CoffeeLake CPU or Z3xx chipset. It does work perfectlyl but correct is correct so 19,1 it is. :)

Nice work @AudioGod! Are you still recommending AptioMemoryFix for those using iMacPro1,1 or should everyone switch to new opencore drivers? Also, do these updated BIOS settings apply to both 1,1 and 19,1? Thanks!

Thanks buddy, Use the new EFI with SMBios 19,1 or 1,1  and all new settings apply to all (bar igpu for 1,1) :thumbsup_anim:
 

I just updated my notes on the update for you and everybody else about using 1,1 or 19,1 and why I have switched it to 19,1. 
I hope that clears things up for you good sir :)

Great news! I will try it too and report. Btw, is there any real benefit of having Uhd630 enabled? I mean can we use both? Does it do better encoding than my Vega64? I am an Audio guy so i have no clue. Thnx!

19,1 will give you working Sidecar and As my note says on the update post.

If you prefer using SMBios 1,1 then by all means switch to it but all the old problems of using 19,1 are corrected now with this EFI plus DRM is fully working unless you have a RX gpu.

@AudioGod the new EFI is Rock Solid, I 've run it for about 3 days, heavy Xcode and Graphics use.

 

Unfortunately, while the old iMac19,1 EFI has AppleTV working good with shikigva=16 on my RX 580, this EFI doesn't with the same flag. Because I use a lot of AppleTV I have reverted back.

 

I am open to beta test if you have any ideas on how to fix this. :)

did you try shiki 16 instead of 80 ?

i put a post up the other day a few pages back that has a link to a guide for all the correct shiki values to make it work.

This new EFI has now gone live and is the main one from here on in.

Of course I changed the Shiki value when I edited the config.plist to add my serial number etc etc. shikigva=16 is the only working for AppleTV (I got it from the link you posted some days ago) at least with Clover and your previous EFI
