Asrock Z890M Riptide WiFi reboot Problem after hibernate

[greecedrummer]

Hello dear forum,

I have two unsolved problems and would like your help. In the end we help each other to make a stable Hackintosh with this mainboard. My reason is not greed for profit, I do not sell EFI's on the net. I am an active enthusiastic Hackintosher for more than 11 years, but here, I really have to ask for help.

 

OpenCore 1.05 e8437f7

 

1. by modifying the OC BootLoader and USB new mapping Tahoe procedure, I was able to install Tahoe Beta2, thanks to this forum from User @surenmunoo @Max.1974and am very happy 🤩 to have found you here . Main system is still macOS15.

USB4 with deactivated Thunderbold and pcie control: However, with both this phenomenon, when the Hackintosh goes into sleep mode and is woken up by the keyboard or mouse (once I had awkwardly activated the function via ACPI that it is only brought from sleep mode via PowerButton then the PC shut down properly without restarting, but was somehow sluggish and unstable therefore deactivated), everything works again, I can work normally even if it then goes into standby mode again for the second or third time, so far so good. If I then shut down the PC in Hackitosh mode, it restarts after 2 seconds .

 

What I have also noticed is that the PC is switched on again, OC is loaded, on other Hackintosh PCs such as the MPG-B760I-EDGE-WIFI, Minisforum H90 AMD and HP 50 G8 i5-1035g1 when I am in the boot screen of the OpenCore

press the left button at the bottom, all PCs restart, that's ok and that's the way it has to be 👍.

But if I press the right button, the PC should shut down, the ASROCK Z890 does not and restarts 👎

Here in my question I have attached my BIOS settings. UEFI-Settings.pdf

 

 

2. USB4 with activated Thunderbold and pcie control: I can NOT leave the Thunderbold TB mode or USB4 with the combination PCIe control activated, well if a TB device is connected or the USB4 external nvme hard disk (SSD Enclosure 40Gbps), is recognized and put in standby mode, after waking up I get no picture on the Radeon graphics card, the PC is not frozen and I have no USB-C monitor to try it out if (presumably) the picture would be output via TB. This is probably because the control is not declared in the ACPI as it should be with other TB controllers. So far I have not been able to find anything suitable on the net .

Strangely enough, ASROCK has a completely different USB arrangement, as does ASUS presumably. Under Windows I was able to map it as shown above. In the blue marked fields are the controls for USB-C. The TXHCI is the TB / USB4 with alleged 40MB/s controller is also recognized without ACPI TB control, it copies 40GB files under 60 seconds. As we know, the Hackintool tool has not been updated and cannot interpret and display all new information correctly.

 

Also, if you want to switch it off later, it does not switch itself off, but restarts again!

I've tried everything, but it just doesn't work.

All KEXT and OC versions are current or up to date. The BIOS version is also up to date. However, I have also tried all older versions, no change. The USB mapping was updated according to the procedure of the new Tahoe version.

 

Does anyone have an idea?

 

I'm really at a loss... 

 

Many thanks in advance for all your help

 🙌

Hi @greecedrummer 

 

All good? I’m flattered by your words, and I want to thank you for the trust. Our work is altruistic and we don't charge anything—just a simple thank you is enough! As for Thunderbolt, I must admit that my experience is limited to my Lenovo T14, which unfortunately doesn’t achieve Thunderbolt natively like desktops do. What I do is boot with a few patches to manage it using the system’s USB kexts. They actually do the job quite well, so I’ve added some patches to try to fix your sleep and shutdown issues—but since we’re dealing with a beta, success is not guaranteed. You still need an SSDT like our German forum friend @apfelnico managed to create. I have a video, and you’ll need to generate your RHUB SSDT and formalize it. I hope the EFI helps! 

 

Follow this steps to obtain more SSDTS and patches

Thanks Mate. I am currently at a struggle to get TB working on my desktop as well. But it is good that at a first step, you managed to get it booted and working. Now it's just a matter of time to slowly work towards getting everything to work. Together we all learn.

TB:

If I have understood correctly what I have read online about the TB connection and PCIe control of Ultra Core and Z890, then the implementation and control is in the CPU and not in a soldered chip on the motherboard, at least that is unfortunately the case with my Z890. That would mean that it's not possible to get it to work, or it would be wishful thinking to have image output like a 14th generation iGPU. Presumably, a developer could program the code and somehow write it in an AML file for ACPI control, but I'm light years away from that. Too bad...

 

Standby:

As already described, I'm sorry to say that it's undoubtedly due to the motherboard... Because when I load this EFI where I have it on other systems just to the boot screen from OC and press the left power button icon, the computers shut down without restarting. So it has nothing to do with the settings in the Kexts and ACPI, or it's a setting that conflicts with OC, but which one? Linux and Windows boot up cleanly, go into standby easily, and after standby you can work fine, and when you shut down, the system stays off. No matter which macOS I install, they all show the same phenomenon.

 

New EFI:

I have revised my EFI, continuing to experiment. I cannot say exactly what has improved, but somehow it boots faster and feels better. I can operate everything, iMessage works flawlessly, and the Apple account and registrations appear to be in order. Of course, some Kexts may be superfluous, but they are loaded and it seems that compatibility has not suffered as a result. I've come to terms with TB and have turned it off completely, including the USB4-PCI connection, because after standby, no image is displayed on an external, connected USB4-PCIe stick, so it's purely a lack of ACPI control. There is also the problem that after standby, when you want to shut down the PC, it restarts after two seconds.

 

Consideration attempt:

I could take the latest OC debug release, including debugenhacer.kext, connect it, and read it out later to see what is recorded during a clean shutdown and what happens during a supposed standby, shutdown, and reboot. I hope that something can be identified there, but whether I will be able to understand the information myself and what I can do with it remains to be seen.
