Can you please share your OC, mine does nothing

all i did was use opencore configurator made a new config disabled anything that was default in all option menus.

 

in smbios i just populated the generic section with the info i needed changed like serial and had to put a mac identifier if not OC defaults to mac pro 6,1 i selected all the check mark options across the bottom  and set auto to auto instead of create. the other thing it needed was applepolicy checked like i explained in my previous post. i am not using any drivers or kexts just config with the smbios info i want changed deleted everything else oh and i set the gui text mode stuff for the bootpicker

Would anyone know the decimal number to use to in Scan Policy to enable USB scanning but not show EFI please? 

 

I currently have it set at 0 which works but also shows EFI, I also tried 5,177,603 but that didn't show any more and also gave an error before the boot selector screen.

 

Try 3080451

(default + USB)

Or 2818307

(default + USB - SCSI) Do people still use SCSI? (Really?)

Ok, I used DEBUG version, maybe that exasperated the problem

THANKS

 

edit:

I'm a lazy SOAB, could you please give me your OC without serial etc.

when I get home I guess.

that's funny because the only thing my config is being used for is the serial number LOL. my SMC was replaced and it came with no serial. that's the reason I attempted to try OC on the iMac. apple serializer is too old to run on my machine to fix the issue and I already closed the machine so can't dump then edit and re upload the rom. unless serializer can be modified to run on new systems.

All good, sorted it out myself, thanks for your help

 

edit:

still no go, what you using it on.

Stick with Clover for time being.

Neither works, just gives an error "OCS: Failed to parse real field of type 1" on the screen before the boot picker and no additional entries.

 

Will stick to 0 for now.

You should not be using any OpenCore configurator right now, none of them work properly for creating a proper config. Plain and simple.

Did you read it???

We using it on Apple, no real need for ANY config

[Hackintosh Tech]

Anyone had issues with boot up times with Opencore, on the Left is Clover and the right is opencore. the difference is annoying.

Interesting. I used the old pdf. I’ll double check that the bitmap hasn’t changed.

Try 3080963 (default + usb + hfs)

 

EDIT: Or 2687750 (Scan FS Lock, Scan Device Lock, Allow APFS, Allow HFS, Allow Sata, Allow NMVE, Allow USB)

"For instance, \texttt{A0 06 03 00} stands for CPUID \texttt{0x0306A0} (Ivy Bridge)" , thou I'm not using fake CPUID in favor of cpu family kernel patch(VDA decoding), it was the only fake CPUID I was able to boot my hackintosh

Sorry for my stupidness. I still didn't get it. Might you want to make this patch a quirk or?

[mhaeuser]

@D-an-W as the error says, you end up having a *real* field, so remove punctuation

Good morning @Download-Fritz I assume that means the commas I put in there to make it look the same as before I changed it?  For example I entered 5,177,603 and should have maybe just typed 5177603?

Sorry for not being precise, I meant there's probably misprint Ivy Bridge is 0x0306A0 not 0x0306A9. Sorry for the confusion I made.

BINGO!

 

3080963 did the trick along with the tip from @Download-Fritz as I was wrongly add the commas but should just have let Xcode do that for me.

 

Many thanks @canyondust & @Download-Fritz

ok here it goes

EFI.zip

 

looks like you have to re bless OC after apple updates. 

sudo bless --device /dev/disk0s1 --file BOOTx64.efi --setBoot

Wow.

Why does OC work on iMac10,1 but don't on my Hackintosh

 

[STLVNUB]

Now to figure out why I loose USB on iMac15,1 SMBIOS.

I think I may be able to figure out why this happens, may be related to SMBIOS.

Loosing USB SHOULD'NT happen on real Mac

usb dies for the same reasons it happens on hacks. the ports are assigned to different port locations it is hardcoded by smbios. you could probably use hackintool and follow its instructions to create a Acpi ssdt or kext to resolve your issues. even though it is a real mac.

[STLVNUB]

yeah, running SMBIOS Macmini8,1 at the moment, have to check out the SSDT's I know what to do

Point being it SHOULDN'T Happen on real HW.

I'm compiling some useful info trying various SMBIOS on my iMac10,1 with some interesting results.

Sorry for the late reply! Finally I got the point, thanks a lot!

 

Oh, 0 vs 9 is not of vital significance as it stands for stepping, which is rather ignored by macOS.
