I don't think is boot arguments problem...

I tried one, the other, both and neither

Have you tried resetting your nvram?

 

If you drop the screen resolution to 1080p does sound then work?

 

If it does then try adding -cdfon or enable-hdmi20 to the boot arguments.

if you have the Pro WiFi variant of the board then you can replace the Intel WiFi card with a BCM94360NG instead to give you native WiFi and Bluetooth.

 

 

Well this is news to me, thanks.. Im still using a PCIe adapter, I wasn't aware I could remove the internal Intel one and replace that now..  Although Mine works perfectly, for the sake of being tidier I may go down this route instead.. Thanks again

I don't know why bt my resolution is already 1080p at TV 4k.

however I do not want to create further problems for you. I prefer to attach a cable to the soundbar so that I can also control the volume from the keyboard.

thank you so much

Ok no problem bud but I’m still waiting on a answer to my original question about EFI V6. 

Is it a thumbs up with the  boot argument change? (Not with both boot args at once)

-cdfon should give your HDMI full speed and allow audio down the channel.

@audiogod

any idea why usb wouldn't work with a build which was switched from Master to Pro?

 

the point which is strange that usb doesn't work at all, also not when I boot up the system into USB Stick and try to install catalina fresh, so it might not be an issue with the old install.

 

the motherboard, usb and devices work fine under windows10, so no issue there.

I added the bootarg -cdfon and I still stayed at 1080p (and that's okay because otherwise I would have a 4k at 30hz). In any case I cannot set the 4k, only 1080p.
The audio, on the other hand, seems to be fine at the beginning but after a while it returns to hopping

Now since the 19,1 iMac came out on March 19, 2019 then the closest match is actually j160 but since that’s for a macpro then the next closest match is yes you guessed it j137.

 

Now for me that’s case closed. 

 

I hear you. I thought maybe I'm crazy so I tried j137 and Default, and —>

 

Sooo, there's that. When I put it back to Disabled, voila, boot. Maybe there is something else in my config that is wrong. Lord knows there have been times where that is the case, but my system will only boot with it set to Disabled.

hmm, I disabled the usb mapping kext and enabled the xhci workaround to allow for more than 15 usb ports. Now usb is working.

hackintool reports:

 

 

 

reading trough the usb map kext I see:

 

HS07, HS09, HS10,HS11,HS13, SS01, SS02,SS03,SS04,SS05,SS06,SS07,SS08,SS09,SS10

 

So I guess we come back to the discussion we had during the Aorus Z390 Master and the USB mappings, need to take a closer look into that.

 

SS03 / HS03 should be a Webcam

SS04 / HS04 is my USB hub which has the keyboard etc,

HS09 / SS09 is the first front USB 3.0 connector

HS10 / SS10 is the second front USB 3.0 connector

 

The others I will need to figure out.

 

@AudioGod is the above the correct information? If I compare this with https://dredhorse.gitbook.io/snowwhite-a-hackintosh-story/install-log/macos-catalina/macos-catalina-and-usb-usb-maps it looks totally similar, but of course the pictures are wrong. Atm I have plugged in the devices on the 2 USB ports directly next to the HDMI port, will try the ones below the NIC.

 

One other point is that my second monitor is not detected, but first I need to solve the USB Issue.

[Praetorianus]

Navi 2.0 is here

[dredhorse]

so I tested the other USB ports.. not working. as soon as I load the kext and disable the quirk my usb ports are dead

I have this exact build.

 

Before doing any upgrade, in this case from Catalina to Big Sur I always make a full backup copy of my drive onto another one with SuperDuper!. 

 

I NEVER EVER had a problem with this before Catalina. I always did my copy, and it always worked.

 

This time something is happening. When I try to boot from the copied drive the Hakcintosh powers off....

 

Looking at the verbose log I have no clue of whats happening... I hope that somebody could help me with this.... 

 

Why the computer is rebooting? What is disliking in the copy of the disk?

after update to 11.3, wifi turns off after about 3-5mins after login
help please!

[panosru]

No issues with 11.3 on my side, everything works perfectly fine. Make sure that your EFI matches the one @AudioGod provided and don't forget to reset your NVRAM.

Have you reset your NVRam?

That should stop the freezing and what WiFi card are you using with what kexts connected to it?

Fenvi T919?

if so then your going to need BrcmPatchRAM adding to it and Airportfixup

https://github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM/releases
 

Stupid Fanvi cards, I hate them….lol

[stavidawg]

Updated to 11.3 with no issues as well. Thanks again @AudioGod

isnt fenvi is like native broadcom chip? I mean everything works with fenvi natively including handoff, continuety etc without any kext installed and I never had a problem b4 11.3 with wifi/bluethooth

[letsdrink]

Something is going wrong when I try to update to 11.3 from 11.2.3.

9900KS / Z390 PRO, OpenCore v0.6.8, SMBios iMac19,1.

 

Just as usual I'am trying to update from the Software Update. 

 

What's going on:
1. The update is downloaded
2. Computer reboots
3. A new system boot option appears. 
4. A screen appears with a black background, the apple logo, and a progress bar.
5. At about 80 percent of progress, a prompt to enter my password appears.
6. I enter my password and the system boots up to version 11.2.3.

Never had this problem before. 

 

SIP is enabled.

 

Update: deleting all disk snapshots, booting from recovery, checking the disk with the Disk Utility, csrutil reset, allowing the machine to autoselect boot disk solved the problem

Fenvi is a make and they produce clones of the original cards. I’ve never liked them and if I was to give you a number of how many times people have had problems with them it would be in the high 100s. This is why I am not a fan of them and don’t endorse them. Especially the T919.

Sounds like a problem with your general install fella,

you could try running a disk repair or disabling sip and or disabling the SecureBootModel and see if it helps but I have a feeling that you would be better off just doing a TM backup of your system if you don’t have one already and then fresh installing 11.3 and then recovering your backup.

 

That’s Always a good thing to do now and again anyway.
