never heard of that one sorry,

That’s probably a messy os of problem device. You could try clearing your cache and rebuilding permissions then restart and clear your nvram.

wierd thing is, it is only happends after some time of computer work time, if i for example try to shutdown right after i just restarted pc and logged in - than there is no such problem, not that its actually big deal for me since my hack working 24/7 but it might be consequence of something bigger

Yeah it still sounds to me like the cause is within your setup be it macos or hardware related.

You have a hang. Check your logs. Also how long are you waiting?

 

the latest public release has shutdown issues. But macOS has had then for a while. Basically the Dock often freezes, produces a duplicate behind it on some GPUs (the navi chips). That’s fixed in the latest beta. But macOS still feels clunky shutting down. It’s not smooth on a real Mac and hasn’t been since Lion.

 

do you have SIP disabled? Having it enabled can cause problems dumping RAM. With it enabled, I always get recovered files. Plists which are settings locked and loaded into running apps. On shutdown they don’t get ejected properly.

 

unlikely anything to do with the EFI

Quick follow up to say i got my setup working with a 10gb ethernet card installed in the last PCI slot using the Startech ST10000SPEX and using the newer catalina driver here, worked first go:

looks like you can't quote emojis or there are other issues with this editor in chrome... I can't quote because I get told I have content like an emoji

 

didn't really look when I followed the link from glasgood.

 

But also with the new files I have russian start dialog and EULA and locked drives, will keep posting in the other thread though.

You need to carefully read the installation notes and requirements to enable a trouble free install. To change the language, download 'PlistEdit Pro' and open your config.plist with it, go to the NVRAM section (As shown) and change to this value. Good luck.

Hello everybody,

since I'm using Audiogods EFI everything worked like a charm on my Computer until the day before yesterday.

 

How it begun:

When I finished playing my video game on Windows (running on a separate partition) I have switched to my macOS partition via clover and suddenly I got this Error:

 

Running from boot USB Stick didn't help and causes the exact same picture. I have neither changed any hardware components nor any parameters on my EFI and computer. Mainboard is CFG unlocked with the "The Easy Way" Profile.

 

My specs are:

Processor: Intel i9900K

Board: Gigabyte Z390 PRO WIFI BIOS (F12c)

SSD: WD Black PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe SSD 512GB (WDS512G1X0C-00ENX0)

 

Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi Buddy, Thats a ugly panic you have going on there.

Just looking though your EFI now and I don't see anything out of the ordinary although I did notice you have a custom uuid and the real one being pushed to a secondary one and your missing your MLB.

This is incorrect but I'm correcting it now for you.

1 question? What GPU are you using?

I not so sure this will correct your problem as it looks macOS based to me but lets see.  

 

Lastly Before you Run the updated EFI I have done for you. I want you to remove all power from the system and then remove the battery from the motherboard for a few minutes, put it all back together and then load back in my bios profile, save and exit and try booting with the corrected EFI.

@Blesh I just noticed you have added slide=0 as well to the boot arguments.

please remove that as OC Quirks assigns your slide value now. 

Update, I see what you have done wrong with the efi now.

you copied the old config to the new efi and this is the wrong thing to do as I have made to many changes.

Im redoing your efi for you now so give me a second but please tell me what gpu you are using so I can give you the correct DSDT?

@Blesh

 

 

 

If your using a Vega56 64 or Radeon VII then remove the boot argument agdpmod=pikera

If you Using a Navi GPU (rx 5700 xt 5600 5500 etc) then the EFI is perfect as is.

If your using a Polaris GPU (RX560 570 580 590 etc) then let me know as you have been using the wrong DSDT/EFI?

 

Good Luck

while on OpenCore Boot Picker, press space and select “Modified GRUB Shell”

 

then type:

 

setup_var_3 0x5C1

 

and press enter.

 

If it returns 0x00 then it is indeed unlocked.

 

you can shut down the computer pressing the power button after that.

 

PS Do not type anything else on the grub shell, I have no responsibility whatsoever if your motherboard flies to Mars

looks like this is disabled in the files from audiogods. I only get an additonal clear nvram option

all you need too do is enable it in the config.plist buddy

Sorry I forgot to mention it. I have a Radeon 5700XT GPU.

 

Thank you for the EFI file 

 

As you said, I removed the battery and all power cables etc. from the computer and loaded your profile into my mainboard. I got these different errors:

 

When I run the new EFI from usb boot stick:

can you get to first page of the Catalina install using a USB key and my latest Efi?

if you can then try running a disk repair on the main drive.

looks to me like you macos install is messed up buddy but clearing your cache and rebuilding your permissions might just repair it.

 

p.s if you can get to the first instal page like I’m asking via a usb stick then you know it’s not the EFI. 

Edited May 12, 2020 by AudioGod

With the EFI you made for me I can get to the first page fo Catalina install. Or did you mean the EFI from the first page here in this thread?

Now my ssd didn't appear anymore,  also after many restarts no chance to see the ssd in Disk Utility. Is this the sign that I killed the ssd? 

 

By the way, is this EFI you made for me also working for macOS 10.15.4?

Yes it’s my latest EFI with your details all in place.

10.15.5 compatible 

 

and something’s very wrong hardware wise, could be your ssd, do you have a spare disk you can check with?

Unfortunately not, only a old HDD. I'm trying to install Catalina there just for fun and for testing. I ordered a new SSD. I'll let you know first when it arrived or worked.

 

I very appreciate your work and want to say THANK YOU!

An update:

I've updated to Clover 5117, everything working fine.

 

I've updated a few files for my WiFi/Bluetooth based on Opencore recommendations (oddly enough). These are the kexts I now use which are working great:

 

AirportBrcmFixup.kext

BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext
BrcmFirmwareData.kext
BrcmPatchRAM3.kext

 

I replaced BrcmPatchRAM2.kext with BrcmPatchRAM3.kext; I deleted FakePCIID and replaced it with BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

 

Hope this helps someone.

Morning Everyone!

Clover 5116, Latest kexts.

10.14.6 Pro Wifi

Yesterday i decided to turn on bios from OtherOs to Win10 Whql.

Osx all good. 

On windows... after a while i couldnt move the icons on desktop and also right click was not working..

Cold booted.. the same after 5 min.

Switched back to OtherOs.. back to normal..

What a strange "feature".

As AG and others mentioned before.. slightly different hardware means different behavior.

Anynody else with the same issue? Not a big thing though.

Your EFI AG works great. Just updating Clover and kexts from time to time.

Also after 5116 and the latest kexts i noticed improved responsiveness in graphics in Osx with VG64.

Actually I meant to ask AG about that, as I found running OC on my rig I would sometimes find that I would lose the OC disk from the Boot menu, just leaving the windows disk and the only way to correct it is to switch back to Other OS, save the setting before rebooting and then all would be well. This happened twice now, at the moment I've switched back to Win 10 Whql because of the recommendations but will keep an eye on it.

all your doing when your running win10whql is telling your bios that windows and macOS are both pure uefi and you have no legacy hardware, nothing else...lol

and yes makes sense for eSaF as up to the other day you had your windows in legacy mode so it must of been tripping balls confused.

using other os is telling your bios you have some old janky bootloader or os in there. Nothing should need that option anymore including clover. If you need it then your doing something wrong or you have legacy oldness in there.

 

@dsynos80 if you used my latest EFI then make sure you use the Config.plist that goes with it as I had to change a few patches so the old config is no good anymore.

Edited May 13, 2020 by AudioGod

[AudioGod]

@dsynos80 Instead of Other OS try using win8/10 instead.

Thats the next best option after WHQL

These look useful for me! I'm a noob at hackintoshing. Just set up my first one, following this guide, and everything works except Handoff and Sidecar. 

 

Can you please tell me where I can get these kexts? I just used the ones provided in glasgood's links.

 

Thanks!

These kexts are only useful for certain combo cards, @pkdesign forgot to mention what card he was using the fix on.

 

what is your combo card your trying to use?
