@rob1980 The links for the EFIs are working fine.

Try again!

Thanks, said unavailable below them earlier in grey text and link led to a blank page.. wasn’t sure if they’d been taken down by yourself for some reason.

Hi - Same board, same cpu, same amount of memory, maybe try my EFI Folder on a test USB Drive to see if the glitch is removed. I use iMacPro1,1 (2017) to enable DRM for Apple TV+ and Netflix. I have removed my personal data from the config.plist if it works out for you, you'll have to furnish with your own. Good luck.

@rob1980 I would advise you to try AG's posted EFI first Whether the Pro 1.1 or the 19.1 for your rig and carefully follow instructions, my EFI Folder is basically based on his iMac 1.1 Pro folder from day one and never had any problems. Both his published EFI Folders are tried and tested by many that follow his Thread without any major problems. Like I said the iMac Pro1.1 is more suited for me to enable AppleTV+ and Netflix as the iMac 19.1 proved very difficult to enable those two services with the latter SmBIOS Mac Model. Good luck.

 

Personally before starting from a clean EFI I'd reset the bios first then apply the correct bios settings then start doing the hackintosh magic. Gigabyte boards are not exactly known for their stable bioses and the fact that the Aorus splash screen is being displayed incorrectly makes me think something hanky is going on in the bios. Therefore I'd try & start with a totally clean slate on the latest bios.    

[rob1980]

Just to be clear guys (as I probably wasn't before) Im using AG's EFI (always have) im on the latest BIOS with everything exactly as it should be, this is a new issue that has occurred without any bios changes. having said that, jamboree comment about the splash screen could be onto something, so I'll try resetting the bios first and go from there.

@AudioGod link on page 1 is still not working for me for some reason.(fixed see edit)

 

Edit* Im on Bios F12J, going to update to K before proceeding.

 

Another edit* Link is no longer saying unavailable and is working again...404 error gone so all good there.

 

Thanks guys!!

Well, in the end I formatted.. only because I have cloud backups of important docs and my build was restored from two previous builds and there was lots of unneeded  garbage.

 

I updated the bios to the latest revision which is now 12K for the wifi model, reset all settings then manually setup bios again. 

Created a new USB installer with the latest Big Sur and OC 0.67, installed and setup our account, restored docs and installed only needed apps.

 

So far restarting has been problem free. The issue with the oversized splash screen and icons on boot picker plus apple loading screen remains (is normal size when booting from USB / Recovery) so Im lost on that one, its an ultra wide monitor but I recall it being ok before an update at some point, I think to Big Sur.. I'm sure there are others with wide monitors who do not have that issue, its only looks and doesn't affect performance but still Fugly lol.

 

I also realized the download links kept going as this website would not save my login each Time I left/closed my browser (safari) I've not checked again since the new install however.

 

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys, I'll do some more reading up on the resolution issue, I'd tried setting custom sizes in config before without success, its still set to Max right now.

@AudioGod, I reset the NVRAM but my machine will still turn off after a day or two. Attached is the full report, any other ideas on how to fix this?

@stavidawg Hmmmmm, it’s not really a OpenCore problem that I’m afraid and more a MacOS problem.

 

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250885678

 

A google search reveals more real Mac users with the problem then hack users.

Word of warning if you're running Catalina still on the beta programme, i just tried the latest update:

 

macOS Catalina Security Update Public Beta 2021-002 10.5.7 

 

My hack refused to boot to login screen after the update, just left with black screen & had to restore from from the Time Machine backup I made prior to the update. Anybody else seen this behaviour? 

 

I suppose it gives the perfect excuse to update this hack to Big Sur. :-)   

[panosru]

has anyone updated to v11.2.3?

 

For me it doesn't even showed in Software Update yet :/

 

 

 

UPDATE:

It seems that the issue was because I had SIP disabled, although I had SIP disabled for a long time now and I didn't had any issues getting updates, strange.

[DoYouBelieveInMiracles]

Hello everyone, I have a problem.

I updated my EFI from OC 0.6.3 to the latest (0.6.7) and it now works correctly.

But I have a USB Wifi antenna and it no longer works on any of the USB ports.

Please help, what can I do?

 

Edit: The issue was the Hackintosh wireless driver that needed to be updated due to OC changes.

Edited March 11, 2021 by unknownharris
Issue resolved.

[panosru]

@unknownharris bear in mind that most likely your USB WiFi module won't be compatible with macOS location services. None of the USB WiFi modules I tried worked, my Archer T6E worked for a few months until an OS update broke the location services for that card and now I'm on ABWB BCM943602CS which works great so far. I don't use WiFi at all for my hack, I only need the WiFi card for location services.

Hi @AudioGod,

is it possibile to use your efi without dedicated gpu and use Intel HD 630?

If is it possible, what changes should i apply in bios and in efi?

 

Thank you so much

[panosru]

is anyone else experience issues with sleep, or it's just me?

 

When I put my hack to sleep, once the fans stop it wakes up after a couple of seconds :/

 

I have wake on lan disabled in WiFI (in both places) and I think power management is set properly:

 

 

UPDATE:

After running pmset -g log | grep -e "Sleep.*due to" -e "Wake.*due to" I'm getting the following:

 

 

I'm trying to understand where the issue might be.

 

UPDATE:

I think it might be related to a software, maybe time machine, because actually after a minute it goes back to sleep and it's ok afterwards.

Edited March 24, 2021 by panosru

[robix604]

I had the same issues with sleep, I applied patches from https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/usb/misc/instant-wake.html.

 

[panosru]

@robix604 thanks for the suggestion! I was also about to patch it, although I was a bit sceptical at first, but that you also posted that the patch works for you I proceeded with it myself as well.

 

I have to note that with the patch sleep functionality works flawlessly for me, although you cannot wake up your computer via keyboard or mouse, only via power button, which to me is a desired behaviour.

 

I have my phone connected to my hack and I have it on a desk stand, a lot of times when I put my hack to sleep and forgot to unplug my phone before I put it to sleep, once I unplug the phone the hack wakes up, with that patch now I don't need to worry about it because I can plug and unplug my phone from the usb dock without waking up the hack.

 

Thanks!

Edited March 25, 2021 by panosru

[AudioGod]

That patch is meant for things like usb2 internal hubs forcing wake like Corsair AIOs for example.

If you have a issue with sleep and it’s not connected to the above then all your doing is covering up a problem. That’s fine but it’s not a fix.

if you had a deep gash in your arm that needed stitches a plaster may cover it up but won’t make it better. You get what I mean?

 

 

[panosru]

@AudioGod thanks for clarifying that up! I troubleshooted the issue for a few hours but I couldn't find what caused the issue, although what was happing actually was that after I put my hack to sleep after a few seconds (sometimes a couple other times 10 - 15 seconds) it woke up (the monitors were still turned off), it done something and then after a few seconds it returned back to sleep. That could also repeat after a few hours (I suspect time machine), but with the patch so far it doesn't do anything like it, plus I really like that I don't wake my hack with the keyboard, I prefer pressing the power button.

[AudioGod]

That’s called power nap bud.

It semi wakes itself up to check Mail, download iCloud pictures messages, etc etc.

Totally normal behaviour but if you wanna turn it off then uncheck power nap in energy saver

Edited March 25, 2021 by AudioGod

[panosru]

@AudioGod I had power nap unchecked already, but it still was waking up for a few seconds and then it went back to sleep, besides I really prefer to wake up my computer via power button and not the keyboard

[mariodj]

@AudioGod i will sell my rx5700xt and i need to move to internal gpu, can u help me with new OC setup ??

 

i think the price of 5700xt is mad now and its a chance for a cheap jump into M1

[scotty pro]

Just bought a Sony soundbar and connected it via optical out from the back of the motherboard but cannot get no sound. Anyone else come across this problem ??

Mine just died lol and no way im buying at the moment be lucky if i could get a gt710 at current prices, tried the Ocore guide for adding in the relevant entries but just get crashes, so may just go back to hooking up my macbook pro to the monitor instead until i can work it our meself.

My sleep has never worked. Could never figure it out so I haven't bothered with it. Would love to figure it out. I always thought it had something to do with the wireless card. Two different ones have done the same thing. My AIO cooler is disconnected from the internal USB, though I do have a bracket with two extra USB ports plugged in the internal USB connector. Maybe that is it and I do need the patch that panosru used.

 

EDIT

Well, well. That is exactly what my system needed. That, along with Jettison to eject my external Backup drive, I now have working sleep after years! Question, how do I set a different time for display sleep vs. system sleep?

 

EDIT

Found the terminal commands. Google is your friend! Doh!

 

Now if I could only figure out why Time machine stopped working years ago.

I just installed Big Sur from scratch with a few amendments to the OP OC Efi, so far all is working as far as i can tell. If you want a copy of the plist pm me and ill bung it across

[jimborae]

Just installed Big Sur - Public Beta 5, macOS 11.3 (20E5217a) seems to be working fine with no issues found so far. On latest OG EFI

[dredhorse]

Just trying the booting from USB stick with latest EFI and than booting my normal macOS partitions. It fails with 
 

OCSB: No suitable signature - Security Violation
OCB: Apple Secure Boot prohibits this boot entry, enforcing!
OCB: LoadImage failed - Security Violation

based on 

you need to make some changes 

 

Since 0.6.1 is AppleSecureBoot implemented. Add in your config.plist into Misc-Security string key named SecureBootModel with value Disabled. (Page 45 of official manual) 

 

which should be https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/security/applesecureboot.html#what-is-apple-secure-boot

 

Does somebody has a How-To to switch to secure boot with OC? On the other side as this can be disabled I probably keep it that way till there is a reason to enable it.
