Wasn't able to boot the installer, I instantly got a kernel panic, and then my system reboots, I can still boot into Catalina thought. Any advice?

 

You could try with Display Options set to "Auto" in firmware ...

Dortania's Guide suggest iMac15,1 instead of iMac14,4 for replacement of iMac13,2 .. I haven't tried it.

Yes, I have it with iMac15,1 and I only needed to update kexts (and new SN and so for "new" iMac).

Kexts.zip

 

I changed my system values to iMac15,1 as well as updated to the kexts given by @CiTroNaK and updated with no problems!

Thanks IronManJFF for all your hard  work and the time you spent in it. I made my migration to OC successfully ! Thanks !

However I was nostalgic of the full black screen experience at boot with OZ, so I made a custom version of your oc friendly firmware, it's exactly the same version with your customizations in it, but there is no visible splash screen at all during the boot sequence before the Bootpicker screen. it's important to note that it is just a dark splash screen so it works at cold boot (issue related in the first post of this topic ) . Enjoy.

You could try ´Show Splash Screen’ OFF in firmware’s settings .. i haven’t tested it since 0.5.7 the old issue might have been fixed

 

I tried, but it was showing a text with the bios version. It was not a blank screen.

Dn not follow Dortania's Guide ... il will not work.

 

ok but i have wiped sdd now what should i start with? 

 

should i follow ur steps from this guide?

 

"3) Retrieving info, you will need using HackinTool " 

 

-I got that information from my mac before it crashed forever but there is possibility i f# something.

 

4) Download "OC to OC Migration.zip" (to come) and extract it 

 

U mean https://github.com/Kazbah/Z77MX-QUO-AOS-OpenCore-Migration-Kit 

 

5) Now Open this file using XCode or your favorite Plist Editor

6) Fill in the info from Step 3 in the Generic Section (don't touch anything else

7) Save as config.plist

 

Done i think

8a) Mounting EFI folder with script

8) Open your EFI folder from your boot drive (the one that has the OZ folder), time to copy the stuff over

 

 

             a)config_template.plist renamed to config.plist

8A) Run CreateConfig.sh (this will merge the config_template.plist with the Platform Info) to create the config.plist in the EFI folder

 

ERROR dosent wana merge.

9) Bios Flash Z77MXQUOAOS.H4O.OC.ROM

 

10) ssd put back to  hackintosh from external enclosure, Testing and ....

There is no renaming of any files (I changed that to simplify process) 

PlatformInfo.plist and config_template.plist should not be renamed. config_template.plist should not be edited at all.

Step 5) Open PlatformInfo.plist

Step 6 ) Unchanged

Step 7) Should now read as Run CreateConfig.sh

 

I notice that you copied the Migration Kit to EFI ..that is wrong ...

You should copy stuff to EFI only at Step 8
