Ok, as promised a bit of update:

 

Fenvi 1200M - actually work OOB - my sleep issues are completely gone. Handoff, continuity, airdrop etc everything is working. Apple watch unlock work only from screensaver mode - from sleep mode doesn't even try to unlock - password prompt straight away.

@Igor I’m guessing your still using the beta bios I sent you still as the unlock feature will not work on any older bios firmwares. If your not using airportfixup then use it as that’s what cured it for me and since using that kext I can not break the unlock feature on my watch anymore and I change my bootloader more then once a day so I was constantly breaking the unlock before the kext. If it’s already in there then do the reverse and remove it and see if it kicks in then. It should work one way or the other buddy.

 

Other things to do if by chance it’s not the above is untick the unlock feature then reapply it or sign out of your iCloud on the hack and reset Bluetooth and WiFi on the phone and the watch and the hack and then sign back into your iCloud account on the hack or the last horrid one is resetting the watch and then restoring it. (Last resort style)

What were you using before you tried my EFI?

 

not using my plist and copying everything else over is simply not going to work unless you have been using my EFI from the start.

 

you need to redownload my EFI and copy your serial number, uuid and MLB over to my plist and use the whole EFI replacing every part of you old one. No 2 configs are the same buddy and that’s where you have gone wrong,

Not buddy I have been following your threads using your EFI since January and everything work great until this update. what should I do now to boot into the system ? Install clover on a usb stick and put your refi there again and try to boot ?

Yes and you have to use the new config.plist if your using opencore too as to much has changed between now and previous versions.

nothings wrong with the new EFI’s though as hundreds of users are now using it with zero complaints.

Ohh maybe the the problem was the config.plist, I should have use your new config.plist and past my serial there too, I replace everything but not the config.plist. I will try now

Always,

especially with OpenCore as it changes with every revision so much that the config totally changes with it.

ANYBODY PLAYING AROUND WITH MY EFIs AND JUMPING FROM VERSION TO VERSION TRYING THEM OUT THEN PLEASE REMEMBER THAT NO 2 EFIs ARE THE SAME SO IF YOUR TRYING OPENCORE AND THEN CHANGE OVER TO MY NDK VERSION OF OPENCORE YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE FOLDER INCLUDING THE CONFIG.PLIST AND THE EFIs ENTIRE CONTENTS. 

 

THERE IS SIMPLY NO LAZY WAY AROUND THIS AS UNLIKE CLOVER OPENCORE AND NDK OPENCORE ARE UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND STILL IN THERE BETA PHASE. THIS MEANS THAT HOW THEY WORK AND HOW THEY ARE CONFIGURED IS ALWAYS CHANGING WITH EVERY VERSION THAT PASSES SO THIS MEANS THERE IS NO LAZY SOLUTION AND COPYING YOUR CONFIG.PLIST FROM OPENCORE TO NDK OPENCORE OR FROM A OLDER VERSION OF OPENCORE IS SIMPLY NOT AN OPTION.

 

I HOPE THIS CLEARS THINGS UP FOR ALL THEM PEOPLE OUT THERE WONDERING WHY NDK OPENCORE DOESN'T WORK FOR THEM OR WINDOWS WONT BOOT. 

 

IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT FOR BEING LAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!

@pl4n__b can I just bring your attention to this notice I posted shortly after the updates.

That's strange buddy, I install clover on a new usb stick, pass your EFI there and it boot into the system, I tried to edit your new config.plis and pass my serial and replace it in my main Catalina EFI, but after restart it still show the same problem. Maybe I need to reinstall Clover ? how to ?

hello,my best friend.

I've been following you for a long time.

My computer configuration is the same as you.  Flashed Z390 MASTER bios to revision F11c.

When you load the bios unlock profile, select the file and return to the main page. Do you know what happened?

Thanks a Ton.

Ok I will assume you updated your BIOS to 11c and then download the CFG (MSR) 11c BIOS Profile from here, but did you remember to save the Profile before you exit and reboot?

There is no response after I select the file. All the configuration items are still the original ones.

Before you reboot you need to save the settings -'SAVE AND EXIT'.

Of course，saved.

I just tried it again.Still the default configuration item.

But now the question is, when loading configuration items, is there no prompt?

Try with another usb to load profile, no more than 8GB and with fat32

@arko27Yes!!I'm so excited！

All my USB drives are in NTFS format. I try FAT32, which works for me！

Thank you so much.

@eSaFThank you very much for your patience.

The problem that bothered me has been solved.

It's that my U disk is in NTFS format. Just replace the FAT32 format.

I'm stupid.

Hi AG I had a quick look at the 0c 0.5.8 beta, they've made quite a change to the config.plist. I am tempted to have a play on a test disk just to have a look see  

I have it on my USB key building up as they do. Don’t bother yet, it’s a little bit twitchy at the moment. Give it a week or so or just don’t use it as your main Efi and keep it on a key.

 

APFS is now done directly via OC instead of via a .efi driver and it works really well. It’s cooking up nicely.

Yea Thanks, like I said it's quite different and I don't know how user friendly it is so I will take your advice as at the moment 0.5.7 is running sweet 

Yes stick to 0.5.7 for now but When 0.5.8 gets to a point that I think yeah and replace my main EFI with it I will send you a copy buddy to test out on the pro.

I invested time on Hackintosh to save money but now I have a mac Pro 16" waiting for me at Micro Center.  This was a trap!

Where did it all go wrong for you to make you switch to a dustbin lid pro?

mine just sits in a bag doing nothing and is only ever called upon when I’m out on a job.

Been getting into app development / design heavily over the past few weeks and am tired of sitting at my desk...lol  Need a portable solution.  I tried hackintoshing my Windows laptop but that was a no go so I sold it and got a decent return on it, 70% of what I paid for it 2 years ago.

fair play buddy, that is a good reason if ever I heard one. 

You should of asked MaLD0n to help you out with the laptop, I bet he could of got it working well for you. Give him a try bud.

It had a Nvidia discrete 1060 that can't be disabled so I was stuck on older macOS.  I got High Sierra running but getting it perfect was more of a hassle than I was willing to deal with.  Also, the thing weighed a ton.  HP Omen.

Hi all, I want to ask those who own AMD Vega cards and using iMacPro1,1 Smbios. Starting from Catalina 10.15.3 I have idle memory clock 800Mhz on Vega 56. It drops to 500MHz only if i play video on YouTube. Did anyone notice this behavior too? Thanks.

Long time 1st time. Thank you so much for the work put into these packages. I was able to get up and running very quickly. I'm using 'Clover EFI Updated 06/04/20' and everything, cept BT, is awesome.

I am able to pair my apple magic kb in macos + win10. I can reboot into both OS's && bios w/ a functioning KB. I was really stoked about this and went along installing things on both sides. Then I powered off the rig...When I powered back on I found that the BT crashes and won't pair with anything again. The 'fix' at this point is to remove the card, reboot OS's, reinstall the card and setup again. I can repeat this process and seem to get the same results.

I hope that I'm missing something and I need to dig in further to get my config right. I also accept that it might be this card that's bad...although I don't think so yet. My build is below and any guidance would be wonderful.

@AudioGod I dropped 3 kext in place and rebooted. 

 

AirportBrcmFixup.kext

BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

BrcmPatchRAM3.kext

 

BT works after a reboot & shut downs. Thank you so very much. This 'bug' really annoyed me. Please let me know if I can help out with anything.
