This is my T-919, no problem, no hassle. I stupidly destroyed my Apple wifi/b-tooth card and the replacement I ordered would take a month or so to be delivered so as a quick fix I asked @miliuco knowing he had one in his rig his advice. This is the one he recommended (see attached). I don't know how true this is but I have read that there are some T-919 Clones knocking around and the performance can be very flaky hence the reason the T-919 has a bad Rep in some circles...

@MorenoAv

I have also read some negative comments about Fenvi T919, especially about Bluetooth weak signal, but in my case it has worked perfectly OOTB from High Sierra to Monterey without Issues. I have the same card that @eSaF.

Hi @all

I update to Beta 3 (Z390 config). Since Beta 2, my Windows HDD shows as external drive (with grey icons). 

Someone has the same problem! An idea to solve it.

Please

Thank you both, @miliuco, @eSaF,

For your help and suggestions but I have a bcm943602CS not the bcm94352 that I mentioned in my other post, and it is that that I'm using at the moment, but it don't work too.

I have another one bcm94360ng that replaces the wifi/bluetooth intel, but for that I have to disassemble all the pc, and sometime soon I'll have to do that...

Fenvi T919 has 94360CD.  I suppose you have the 943602CS with an adapter, right? It seems a mac compatible card.

As @antuneddu, I boot macOS with Windows volume unmounted from fstab.

But when mounting this disk, macOS sees it as an internal physical disk. I don't know what may be the cause of the behavior that you say.

The only strange thing that I have noticed is that, in the info of the Windows volume, in format it reads Unknown (lifs) although it is actually NTFS. On the other hand, when I boot Windows it seems to work fine.

Please

ditto here

since the first beta dev in Monterey always present the Windows disk recognized as yours

Finally, I already have the Lenovo in beta 3 .. 👍

 

patched the system with opencore-legacy-patcher 0.2.3

Transcript from one of the WWDC 2019 sessions (719 - What’s New in File Management and Quick Look):

 

When a document is stored on a USB drive or remote SMB server, LIFS is reported instead of the file system the media is formatted as. It's likely that your app should not worry about the underlying file system. Instead you should check the file system capabilities to know which file system operations are supported. LIFS is a file system abstraction and it do not look for its presence directly. To know more about LIFS, we recommend that you look at the What's New in File Systems session.

SecureBootModel set to Disabled instead of Default, and Monterey Jack Cheese Beta 3 installed successfully on my iHackPro Latitude. No changes needed on my iHack - straight, unmodified Beta 2 to Beta 3

[MorenoAv]

I have PTT enabled in Bios, and I updated successfully  to macOS Monterey beta 3, the only thing that I did was change csr config to 0x0 in clover and it updated right away...

Anyone having usb dropouts in Monterey beta3 on z590 after resume from sleep? My usb bus is dropping out after resume from s3 sleep, didn't happen on beta2.

Honestly, it bothered me a bit to see 3 NTFS volumes mounted at boot and then I disabled it via / etc / fstab .. mount them when I need  😆

I didn't notice that in the finder info it shows as Unknown (lifs) format , however in Diskutility it is shown correctly ... I think it is due to a finder problem / bug

as well as automount as an external disk

It sounds like Monterey is assuming any NTFS disk is either SMB or USB. What about Macs with Bootcamp partitions? Do they have the same issue/feature?

[Alex HQuest]

@antuneddu not a bug. A feature introduced on Big Sur.

 

[Moviemakergr]

Beta 3 is Up and running..

Fenvi working both Wi_Fi and BT..

10G Network card works,

but not working 2.5G Intel Ethernet.

Tried disabling the TPM too? Alternative try with Clover 🤗

 

I was able to install Beta 3 but with an odd twist.  When I tried to install it using OC 0.7.2, the install failed because the installation process did not complete the stage following the first reboot.  Instead, it went to the last stage of the installation process and when I got to the desktop, it was still the Beta 2 version.  The second time I tried to install Beta 3, I booted to Clover but only for the stage following the first reboot.  That stage completed properly and after that, I allowed my laptop to reboot to OC and finish the process, which was completed successfully.  From this, I conclude that there must be a setting in OC that is preventing the installer from writing to a portion of the operating system that must be protected somehow.  Does anyone know OC well enough to be able to tell me what might be preventing the installer from patching the OS?

 

I understand that I might be successful disabling TPM in my laptop's BIOS but if I don't need to do that to install with Clover, the problem I'm having is not in the BIOS but in my OC settings.  Thanks for any help/insight you can offer.

 

EDIT:  I should add that I have SIP disabled in both Clover and OC.  I didn't think that SIP has any impact on the installation process, only whether it shows up as an update.  True?

Unmm and what a feature 😊
It seems to me that in BS he did not mount the volumes of his own accord or i m wrong?

For some reason, Secure boot model seems to be causing issues again with this update, though I haven't tried the update yet on my system to confirm at all (look at some of the previous posts in here which suggests this though). You need to turn SecureBootModel off and then download the update again (don't just run macintosh HD again), then it should work in OC.

 

SIP (specifically Apple internal and one other flag) just prevents the updates from being shown I think.

Does anybody know how to extract bluetoth keys from Monterey to use in Windows?

Hackintool can do it for you.

 

[wern apfel]

Some new display settings, but Universal Control still does not work.

[miliuco]

@Slice

I see. Your Windows info dialog shows Unknown (lifs) also. But Disk Utility shows NTFS, right?

Doesn't work in Monterey.
