erolsansolo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hello all, Im a new hackintosh user, and I built a new computer from scratch about a year ago. I wanted to build a hackintosh for a while and I was looking for a good compatible hardware I could use without future problems. Ive come to this forum to see what i wanted and from AudioGod's Aorus Z390 Pro Patched DSDT Mini Guide and Discussion topic I followed every instruction to setup my new hackintosh with total success, from catalina upto bigsur all builds in between. I started with clover and promtly went onto Opencore without any problems. The only problem is, the Original poster has stopped making new EFI files for the current and future versions of the mac. Being dense about compiling a new EFI from scratch, (i tried but no cigar) , Im now at a point where I would gladly pay a fair price to actually get new updated EFI files for my machine. As Im a new member, i cannot post on the topic directly and I ask anyones help at this point to see if I can actually achieve this goal. Any help would be appreciated.

SavageAUS Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I believe [mention=2497419]AudioGod[/mention] will be updating his repo when the next version of OpenCore is released. Be patient and monitor his repo and thread.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No no no no no no…lol,…Im too deeply involved in the AMD side now to keep up with my Intel EFIs and also the little problems that I would normally solve I can no longer do as I’m Intel free over here. This is why I made the decision to drop support for my Z390 Pro and Master Threads. (3 years of support from me on them threads is long enough now I think) @erolsansolo If you ask @eSaF nicely I’m sure he won’t mind helping you out.

HI Bro hope all is good with you and yours........by the way that's a sneaky way to get me to manage your Thread. but I've got enough on my plate to contend with, I don't mind chipping in now and then when ever I can help but monitor full time, not really. That’s not what I said at all…lol i just meant you might be able to help this guy with his problem, nothing more. you're letting your imagination run wild brother.

erolsansolo Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 @eSaF Thank you so much, and many thanks to you as well @AudioGod for all the work you have done. I have another question on the efi folder. There is an extra folder called "apple" and under it "firmware" wth a file IM191.fd inside that wasnt there before. I wonder why and how it got there and should it be there, can it be removed? It used to be easy for me, copy new efi folder, restart, reset nvram, boot up, update macos and voila. I would pay for this. wink wink. Im getting too old for this - maybe hackintosh was the wrong wagon to jump on. At the time I couldnt justify the equivalent price of the imac. (two actually, one for work one for home office) Am i screwed in the long run? yep looks like it 😇 Erol Sansolo OC EFI.zip Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348400-aorus-z390-guide-help/#findComment-2763916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

erolsansolo Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 My ROM value in hackintool shows it as 000000000000 ? Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348400-aorus-z390-guide-help/#findComment-2763986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
erolsansolo Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 ok i went into hardware info got my MAC adress and input that into config.plist without the : inbetween. I remember this from earlier clover stuff i think. i will copy to usb efi, and give it a shot.

erolsansolo Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 @eSaF mate, thank you it works! And nice touch on the posh OC bootpicker! 1- I put in the ROM value as "string" with my MAC address but when i check with hackintool, it shows up as 000000000 again. Should it be as "data"? 2- When updating my EFI for the future, I dont want to be a burden to anyone, do i just update the new kext files? what should i watch out for? 3- Do i ever need to change the ACPI SSDT entries for my machines? one can assume i will never upgrade this pc. 4- do you give lessons? 😁 phone number? IBAN number in case payment is required? 😇 again thank you for your time.

erolsansolo Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 @eSaF @AudioGod Thank you for all your help up to this point. Yet I have a small problem that i had for a long time with my hack. I have the Fenvi T919 BT wifi module (amazon) - My magic keyboard, magic touchpad and any other peripherals works flawlessly using bluetooth from the beginning. No problems until I connect my airpods. Airpods connect no problem, I even can watch a youtube video no problem, until it suddenly disconnects, also taking every other bluetooth device along with it and effectively crashes the BT. This sudden disconnect happens arbitrarily, even when there is nothing playing in the background. Only way to gain control is to connect via cable at this point, and I tried everything i can think of (reset BT module, factory reset etc..) , plus a terminal command i came across the internet to reset the BT service. Nothing short of resetting the pc works. At last i throw in the towel and ordered another new T919 BT WIFI card from amazon, slap that one in. same result. This only happens when i connect my airpods (also tried with my wifes airpods). I have the latest AirportBrcmFixup.kext in my EFI folder. Any ideas?

AudioGod Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 @eSaF What do I always say about the T919? Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348400-aorus-z390-guide-help/#findComment-2764369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
erolsansolo Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 @eSaF @AudioGod The problem i described has been with me since Catalina. Im now at 11.5.1 Bigsur. Just the damn airpods.. Im already out $180+ , do you think there might be a cure for t919 in the near future?

I have a spare BCM94360CS2 sitting here that you can have for free if you DM me a address to send it to? all you need a pcie adaptor and off you go.
