hi friends,

 

12.0 beta 7 is out and we are able to update via "wrong" SMBIOS but still my sys suffers from Bluetooth Wake from Sleep errors.

Since beta 6 the natively supported BCM96430CS2 returns disconnected from Sleep  -  only a manual restart of the bluetoothd daemon helps (or via slider off/on)

 

Someone here with same issues and having an idea how to resolve ?

 

Thanks and cheers

That's a weird one as Shaneee uses a BCM96430CS2 with Beta 7 with no issues what so ever and I use a BCM94360NG which is the same card but in a smaller form factor so I can replace the intel WLAN on my board with the native card. We are both running Beta 7 and neither of us have any sort of Bluetooth wake issues. Infact Its actually the reverse because we can both wake our System with just one click of the mouse and then the Apple Watch unlocks the system and the screen pops on just like in the old days when DarkWake worked. Everything WLAN wise is not messed with in anyway and no kexts are in play.

I don't know what to suggest TBH.

One thing I did notice though thinking about it is I had to use clover not so long ago helping somebody test an EFI and I noticed that the Bluetooth works a lot better and is snappier via Clover but I have no idea as to why...lol...(useless info really) 🤣

Hi buddy,

 

nice to read from you 😀

Cos you're running AMD this might be an important difference ?!

For my taste it's something related to USB.  Right now I'm looking into a glass ball 😇

Someone else i know from with a completely different hardware is sitting in the same boat.

 

Wondering anyone else here with BT issues ?

 

Cheers

Hi Bro,
 

Possibly but I don’t see how usb would differ from Intel or AMD, the kexts are the same, the patching is the same, only real difference is I have 3 USB controllers so I have all my ports fully mapped and open but that’s irrelevant on a internal USB2 hub. 
That’s got me stumped buddy, interesting

I know this isn’t specific to our board but I will ask the question to the nice people here

 

Why do my external hard drives show up as a folder? I thought I had it figured out by setting <ExternalDiskIcons=TRUE> but that didn’t work.

 

 

Actually, "Data" and "Windows" are internal SSD drives. "macOS BU" is an external drive.

@pkdesign are you sure that an installed app extension isn't interfering with sidebar icons? I had a similar issue with BetterZip, you could check in System Preferences -> Extensions -> Finder Extensions and see which are enabled, try disabling them all and then enable one by one until you find the one to blame (relaunch Finder after enabling/disabling an extension). If the issue is not occurring due to an installed extension, then I'm not sure why that could happen 😕

THANK YOU!!!!! That was it. I can’t believe that BetterZip was causing that. WTF? I would have never thought to look at BetterZip!

 

I just knew the great people on this forum would have an answer for me.

[panosru]

@pkdesign yeah, I was struggling with that for a week until I found it out of pure accident, but I'm still using BetterZip, I just have its Finder extension disabled, out of all the archive extractors I tried, BetterZip seems to be working best for me.

Guys, do anyone else face an issue with usb flash disks or external drives getting too hot?

 

For some reason, when I'm connecting a flash disk or an external usb disk to my hackintosh, after a bit of time, while I copy large amounts of data, the process is stopped, my external disk is disconnected (or frozen), and when I touch it, it is too hot.

 

I tried all the flash disks and the external disk on a windows pc and they all work fine, I was able to copy what I needed in Windows machine, but I couldn't copy the same data on my hackintosh.

Random question, has anyone enabled TPM 2.0 to support Windows 11 and does it work?

Yes - as a matter of fact previously when I installed Monterey I had to disable TPM other wise Monterey would go into a boot loop and if I left it disabled and boot into Windows 11, it would break activation forcing a complete reinstall of Windows 11. With this latest Monterey Beta 7, I did the update with TPM 2.0 enabled without any problems so where the change came about allowing me to do that I don't know but I am happy that I don't have to remember to enable/disable for each OS every time.

Dumb question, where is this setting in BIOS?

[Anto65]

Normally in the Security  tab

It could be so

Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0)

Or like this

Intel  Platform Trust Technology (Intel PTT) 

[pkdesign]

Got it. Found it.

 

So...it is okay to enable this setting now? I am still on Mojave if that makes a difference.

I followed OpenCore guide here, it recommends to add FF0F0000 instead of 67000000 for NVRAM->Add->7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82

 

In addition, the guide says that you have to add in NVRAM->Delete->7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 a String element with csr-active-config as a value.

 

 

I tried both FF0F0000 and 67000000, reboot -> reset nvram but csrutil status returns this:

 

System Integrity Protection status: unknown (Custom Configuration).

Configuration:
	Apple Internal: disabled
	Kext Signing: disabled
	Filesystem Protections: disabled
	Debugging Restrictions: disabled
	DTrace Restrictions: disabled
	NVRAM Protections: disabled
	BaseSystem Verification: enabled

This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.

I expected to see System Integrity Protection status: disabled message.

 

What I am doing wrong here? 😕

 

Have you gotten any response to this? After being made aware of this recently, I started using FF070000 (on Mojave) and it worked well. I do notice that Apple Internal is now enabled and BaseSystem Verification is disabled, unlike your status.

 

I did not, however, include the NVRAM Delete key. I figured that resetting NVRAM at boot did the same thing.

 

I do notice that using 67000000 makes Apple Internal disabled and Base Verification enabled. The opposite of FF07000 (or FF0F0000 on my Big Sur laptop). Really odd. Is there another key that does both?

 

(FYI, I use TotalFinder and I will not live with out it 😆 It has to have SIP disabled in order to work.)

Hi,

 

still suffering from Bluetooth issues with latest Monterey b8 ( Wake from sleep - no function at all until reset BT daemon)

i'm wondering someone here w/o any problems operates the same BCM adapter : ABWB 802,11 AC WI-FI + Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM94360CS2  ?
 

Appreciate any hint or feedback

 

Cheers

Hi, I have an issue with USB flash drives or external disks, when I transfer large amount of data, they just stop working after a while. On a Windows machine that I tested it, it is working fine, I also tried to boot via a linux live disk on my hackintosh, and it is working find as well, only via my hackintosh it isn’t working and I'm not sure why 😕 

 

Also, the USB flash disks are getting very hot!

If you are still using SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 then XHC1 is actually in need of a name change as it’s conflicting with Apple's own USB map. 
It’s something I missed when I was using this setup but quickly learned about when I moved over to AMD. This is a general thing not a AMD thing so it totally applies to you but only if you are still using 1,1. (19,1 and 7,1 need no USB Name changes)

Try adding this patch to your ACPI Patches and edit the USBMap.kext to match the name change and see if that helps.

 

• XHC1 to SHCI:

Key	Type	Value
Comment	String	XHC1 to SHCI
Count	Number	<0>
Enabled	Boolean	YES
Find	Data	<58484331>
Limit	Number	<0>
Replace	Data	<53484349>
Skip	Number	<0>
TableLength	Number	<0>
TableSignature	Data	<>

Nice one AG  - Although I am now using 19.1, I will make a note of this in my 'UseFull Notes' for future reference. Cheers Maestro. 

You can actually check to see if a setup needs a rename simply by running the following Command in terminal.

ioreg -l -p IOService -w0 | grep -i XHC1

If it chucks out a load of info like below then a name change is needed.

Spoiler

@AudioGod - Yea I ran that sometime back according to a Guide when I did USB Mapping for 19.1 and all was well like so

Nice and clean so No changes needed.

Hi buddy,

 

thanks for the hint.  Still on 1,1 but unfortunately there is nothing wrong with USB mapping . The ioreg cmd returns no output.

In between re-installed b8 completely but nothing better.

 

In another thread i found that Hackintool doesn't show the BT adapter not only here . it's working until sleep. 

 

The ID of my adapter 0x0a5c (Broadcom) and 0x828f (Product-ID)

 

Possibly there is something in the upgraded Monterey kext's missing now ?

 

Let's wait for the release of 12.0 .

The CMD command must be broken under Monterey then I guess but you need to do some research and learn about USB bud as your missing my point about it and again I stress if you are using 1,1 without a name change then it’s wrong but don’t take my word for it as it’s very clearly stated in the OC guide too. 
 

Read!

tnx buddy,

 

nothing to rename ,  there is no XHC1 on z390pro . Neither in DSDT nor SSDT. it's just XHC

Hi, people. Of all the threads on this forum, this is the one I interacted the most with, and I think most of you as very good friends.

 

My journey in the Apple ecosystem started with Hackintosh in the year 2007. Was not a perfect build back then, but It was magic. I wanted the real thing though. I got my first Mac (the unibody 2008 MacBook Pro), then got my first iPhone, then my first iPad. The love for OS X / macOS and iPhone OS / iOS was so deep that I became a professional iOS developer.

 

In 2019, I still had a late 2013 MacBook Pro, and was in need for an upgrade to something beefier. Rumours had it that Apple would unveil their own silicon soon and I was hesitant as to whether I would want to spend 2,5K+ euros on an iMac or iMac Pro, so I thought I'd join the Hackintosh army once more. Oh boy, what a journey. Lots of reading, lots of experimentation. Lots of quality communication with the people in this forum.

 

I took courage by this awesome topic by @AudioGod (Thank you for replying here my main man) and bought the components. It was an instant success. But I knew I had to dive deep in order to be independent and to maintain it. I studied the dortania guide, I crawled through reddit posts, asked questions. Some people were cruel but most people were helpful, and I will always appreciate it.

 

Then I started building hackintoshes for friends and family. I have built over 10 golden builds using different motherboards and components, and with different needed ACPI patches, for people that wanted the ease and carelessness of macOS but not the price tag.

 

But like with other beautiful things, some need to come to an end. My build has served its purpose and I had to act fast before it looses more value. So I sold my build and bought a 2020 MacBook Air in wait for the new MacBook Pro 16" that is to be announced probably this month. After I get the new MacBook, the M1 Air will be used @ home by the family.

 

My hackintosh path has ended for my personal use, but I will be keeping an eye in case someone needs help.

 

Cheers
