1 - Download the profile and save it to a USB Key ✔

2 - Go into the bios, ✔

3 - Load the profile, ✔

4 - Save and exit ✔

5 - Go straight back into the bios and save your bios to a new profile and name it Default CFG Unlocked or something like that. ✔

6 - Boot back into Catalina go into your clover config and under Kernal and Kext Patches Uncheck KernalPM ✘

7 - Save the changes and then restart and your done, your motherboard will now be CFG (MSR) Unlocked ✘

 

Still the same. However there is one thing I noticed in the BIOS > Settings > Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V - [MAC ADDR] > Link Status: Disconnected!

 

 

Check your cable bud

Confirmed cable attached, blinking lights. I can even boot into Windows and internet is fine.

I tried to load recovery mode, all the same, the window opens with a choice of language (as if to continue the installation) mouse and keyboard don’t work.

In debug mode I see this mesages: 

Kext (usb...) disabled.

Erm there is no usb Kext in My EFI, USB is done via the ssdt and dsdt with no kext needed.

Just for fun: Put your mouse and keyboard to a powered hub. That's what fixed my issue with no mouse and keyboard before boot to win or macos. It's so weird. I'm awaiting answer from Gigaybte if they can explain this behaviour.

That is very strange indeed.

did you try reflashing your bios?

[Cipha]

Yes, I had this behaviour before with f9 now I am at f12. I can't explain, it seems like there's not enough power on the ports before the boot up to an OS.

This happens on every port. I also tried custom usbkext and multiple keyboards / mice. Never ever experienced such a behaviour before.

[Olion]

I'm desperate. I'm ready to lose all my data and install new macOS, I do everything according to the tutorial from the @glasgood Catalina guide with your settings for f12 h630 and I have a kernel panic, or some other mistake, but even the installation of the osX does not start.

MacOS login screen it’s preeboot? My keyboard and mouse don’t work too:( I cant finalize update Mojave to Catalina. Maybe i should change bios settings or update clover configuration??

So I have been experimenting with darkwake values on my Aorus z390 Pro build for the past couple of weeks, because I started noticing that USB drives were reported as force-ejected upon wake. I would like to share with you guys (and possibly gals - but the chances are low  )

 

You can see all the available flags here:

https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/a449c6a3b8014d9406c2ddbdc81795da24aa7443/iokit/Kernel/IOPMrootDomain.cpp#L309

 

enum {
    kDarkWakeFlagHIDTickleEarly      = 0x01, // hid tickle before gfx suppression
    kDarkWakeFlagHIDTickleLate       = 0x02, // hid tickle after gfx suppression
    kDarkWakeFlagHIDTickleNone       = 0x03, // hid tickle is not posted
    kDarkWakeFlagHIDTickleMask       = 0x03,
    kDarkWakeFlagAlarmIsDark         = 0x0100,
    kDarkWakeFlagGraphicsPowerState1 = 0x0200,
    kDarkWakeFlagAudioNotSuppressed  = 0x0400
};

 

The default flag set by the kernel is 3 as you can see here:

https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/a449c6a3b8014d9406c2ddbdc81795da24aa7443/iokit/Kernel/IOPMrootDomain.cpp#L337

 

static uint32_t         gDarkWakeFlags = kDarkWakeFlagHIDTickleNone;

 

So removing the darkwake boot argument lets the kernel to default on value 3 which to be honest up until now is the best performing darkwake value according to my tests:

 

- My machine does not instant wake from sleep by itself.

- My machine does not force eject the USB drives when falling asleep.

- Dark wakes for mail check, Mac App Store updates etc work properly (The motherboard's LEDs light up and the fans start spinning without the monitor waking up) and then it goes to sleep again, turning off the motherboard's LEDs and all fans.

 

The only con that this setup has (as I have previously reported) is that it takes a bit longer and a bit more tickling of the mouse or keyboard to wake up the machine. But it actually wakes up, also unlocks with my watch and there is no report of USB drives force ejected.

I've been trying to do this as well.

 

So you find that dw=3 let's your system sleep properly AND external drives do not complain about being ejected?

 

Right now, I took out all arguments (so I assume dw=3 default) and sleep works ONCE, but not again. And drive still complain about being ejected.

 

Granted, I am on the Pro Wifi board.

@AudioGod

 what sort of benchmarks do you get with your stock 9900K?

Mine have dropped -

Geekbench 4 multiscore 3690

 

Cinebench  r15 - 1976

Last time I ran Geekbench I got 1210 Single-Core and 8834 Multi-Core score running at stock. CB20 at 4803.

 

Been trying to get back to overclocking for a while.

I'm testing a few apps of friends that require SIP disabled.

Is RT Variables -> CsrActivateConfig -> 0x67 correct to achieve this or is there a better way?

 

And in general: What do you guys think of keeping SIP permanently off?

[pkdesign]

I've had SIP permanently off for years. Ten plus to be exact. I use TotalFinder which has to have it off in order for it to work and I an not wiling to give it up. Never had an issue in all these years.

no,  for me it starts working on the login screen but not before

My current scores are on my z390 master thread  

Do you have an OC guide @AudioGod?

[Tiem]

@Cipha can you verify you have the following entries in NVRAM:

 

EFIBluetoothDelay

bluetoothActiveControllerInfo

bluetoothInternalControllerInfo

[Olion]

Unsupported speed mantissa, maybe it’s my usb problem?

Evening all,

@pkdesign OpenCore is changing all the time so guides for it are pointless at the moment until it settles down and comes out of beta plus there are to many variables from system to system with OC.

For now use the official vanilla guide if you want to build a OC EFI from scratch. If you want a pre built EFI then ask @texem nicely and he might comply if you don’t mind it as smbios macpro1,1? It’s a bit tricky to run with igpu enabled under 19,1 in Oc on the Z390 Pro though but it can be done.

Guys, I "fixed" my USB problem and finalize update macOS. 
In order for my usb to work, I went to the clover settings before loading -> DSDT and chose instead DSDT.aml -> the BIOS.aml. After that, the system is loaded with friezes, after some minutes seems to work correctly. How do I finalise these changes and remove freezes? Sory for my noob questions.

 

It will be good fix last .zip for hd630, because this EFI settings spends 3 days of my life  

p.s. where is you, @glasgood with your perfect settings?)) (as in previous versions)

Im replying to this as if he meant OpenCore, im not sure that he didn't mean OverClock since its mentioned under your CPU clock speed though.

 

I gave up with iGPU on 19,1 and just disabled the thing.. OC was running solid with it enabled until i upgraded to 0.5.6 and at which point it stopped booting with the memory allocation errors.  Even then it seems to be on a hairline as to what can be enabled feature wise with this disabled or not.  Simply enabling the PollAppleHotKeys feature so i could boot with -v or whatever by using keys was enough to tip it over the edge and fail with memory allocation error.. No amount of wiping bios by removing battery would fix it ... It would boot 1 in 10 or 20 times or what seemed like never.  Still have to test removing all the stuff in the OC.plist that i have thats set to default values as per the config guide to see if this makes a difference to what features can be added.

Ah that’s a good point.

@pkdesign did you mean OpenCore Or OverClocking? 

if you meant overclocking then what do you need help with?

My bad, I should have spelled out overclock! Not open Core. Too many acronyms!

 

I just did a quick overclock by upping the clock ratio to 50 and bumping the turbo to medium.

@Tiem I can't find these entries. neither in nvram.plist on EFI drive nor on NVRAM page in clover configurator. What are they good for?

Edited February 25, 2020 by Cipha

[Tiem]

You don't have an nvram.plist because it's saved natively to NVRAM. Type "nvram -p" in Terminal.
