¿Tiene f11m archivos de desbloqueo?
 

Si

So in opencore there is no way to block hdmi sound? From what you see there is no way to block it, please help me, I know there are wise people here.

Hi B - I wonder if our friend is suffering from the same problem I had a few weeks ago with the USB ports losing power after a while. Since you recommended updating to the latest BIOS, my machine runs trouble free without that fault. It would be interesting to know what version Bios his board is on.

I've upgraded to Big Sur, but still experience the occasional power drop on the front USB ports. I'm still on 11L btw, but the EFI is the updated version.

Where is the unlocking file of f11m?

I used f11m, stuck in the white apple icon.

@ucdosjiafu You have to unlock CFG directly in BIOS. The unlock file is more necessary.

@ucdosjiafu 您必须直接在BIOS中解锁CFG。解锁文件更为必要。 

Excuse me, how to operate?

Press F2 or DEL as usual to enter in the BIOS. I don't remember where is CFG unclock. Sorry I'm not at home: you have to look for it

[ucdosjiafu]

Just now, Matgen84 said:

像往常一样按F2或DEL进入BIOS。我不记得CFG在哪里下班。抱歉，我不在家：您必须寻找它

Yes, thank you.

嗨，请访问技嘉网站并下载适用于您主板的最新Bios版本，然后阅读手册以了解如何安装/更新新的Bios版本。祝好运。

官方网站只有F11L

@布莱斯 如果您使用smbios 19,1，请进入plist，在“杂项”，“安全性”下，将SecureBootModel从“ Disabled”更改为“ Default”，保存并重新启动，

Which version of bios are you using now?

Hello everyone. Does anybody use Intel Wifi/Bluetooth workaround on Big Sur here?

 

I have Wi-Fi working somehow, at least, system is showing me the scan results. Heliport is not working for some reason, saying "itlwm is not running", but it's no different from Catalina. The problem is Bluetooth. I spent many hours trying to find out what the problem is and realised that the problem is actually USB. So, how can I make all USB ports work? I didn't have this problem on Catalina, Bluetooth was working, but now SSDT from that build is not doing any better.

Maybe someone was successful running both BT and WiFi?

Big Sur 11.1 (20C69) has been released.

[luckas]

Hello!

I've bought a BCM94360CD (Fenvi FV-T919) and I have problems with sleep. If I connect the USB to internal it sleeps 1 second and wake up instantly.

I've tried with Clover and Opencore with your latest EFI. I've also upgrade the firmware of the BIOS (11L) and unlocked MSR.

What can I do?

Thank you very much!

Hello

In System/Preferences Energy Saver: disabled both Wake for network access, and Power Nap

In Terminal, run log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason", which it confirms or not it's the internal USB header that's causing the wake issues.

Thank you for your answer.

After disabled WOL and Power Nap the log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason" is:

Do you try to connect your Fenvi card on a different internal USB header (there are two ports on this motherboard) ? Note:  HS12 is disable with @AudioGod USBMap.kext. For the RTC Alarm, I don't know.

Yes, I've tried to the other internal USB header, and the result is the same. I use the USBMap.kext that it's inside the EFI from @AudioGod.

Is it possible to disable wake up from one USB?

Try this USBMap.kext is a little bit different !

This USBMap.kext wake up also...

I'll try to connect the usb cable in an external usb with an adapter. May be it works...

Disable the kext airportfixup, restart the system and clear your nvram twice and try again.

If that don’t work then Im not sure as many people are using that rubbish combo card on here with my EFI and most use it trouble free. 
I personally do not endorse the T919. Never have and never will.

Hello Everybody, I just wanted to update you lot about a few things.

I have now moved away from Intel and im running a AMD build so I will no longer be able to delve deep into the inner workings of the Z390 platform so for this reason I am going to make my next EFI update my last. I will keep the threads open and continue supporting whenever I can but with the way things are now and the M1 Apple products out there it’s all abit pointless in my eyes. I want better gpu performance then my 5700xt has to offer and I’m sorry but for all the people thinking Big Navi will work one day with Big Sur well I believe your all dreaming cos I don’t think it’s going to happen. Why would Apple do anything more with Intel or AMD when they are moving away from them? You can’t integrate Arm and a discrete GPU so why would Apple release drivers for big Navi now?

Even with my Ryzen platform I am having to cut corners for it to work properly with macOS. Like for instance I’m using a Gigabyte X570 Pro in my build yet I also have a Ultra and a Master both sitting here that are both much better boards but I use the Pro cos it works the best in hackintosh land. I would much rather have the Mastsr or Ultra as my board and a 6800Xt or 3080 as my GPU. I also own a M1 Mac Mini and like it enough to happily use it for the stuff I do in MacOS, It’s not the monster that people like to pretend it is and I can make it hit it’s limit easily but using it it’s plain to see that it’s a game changer and will only get better in time (quickly). 

Lastly the thread EFI’s are perfect so once a new version of OpenCore is released you can update to it very easily yourselves and use a sanity checker to make sure all your changes are right.

 

Im not disappearing and the thread is still here and there’s one more EFI update to come from me yet,

 

It’s been a roller coaster of a year hasn’t it people?

Stay safe and stay happy, have a lovely Christmas (as much as you can do) and next year things will hopefully get better for us all.

 

Merry Christmas

@AudioGod thanks for your contribution.  I came to the same conclusion and will be moving to m1.

 

Thanks again and Merry Christimas!
